Mafia Government
The
Mafia is not much different from the way our current federal government works. The Godfather saga was about an
alternate form of government, the leaders are like the politicians who pretend
to care for people but later exploit them.

‘Don’ Corleone in
the movie “The Godfather” is a lot like today’s president. He’s the man in charge. He grants political favors. He makes and enforces laws. He even collects taxes. The Mafia is run like a government, and the
government is run like the mafia. I find
it difficult to tell the difference.
The government, as
a mafia regime, will be confirmed to you if you visited the ‘Mob Museum ’
in Las Vegas . It tells the story of how crime bosses came
to power in the United
States .
By the way, they weren’t all Italians.
Jews like the Hyman Roth character in The
Godfather Part II was based on the life of Meyer Lansky who said, “We’re
bigger than US Steel.” And Irish Road to Perdition were also
involved, so they were just people. Those
who did business with the mob had to follow the mob’s rules. As long as you did not get involved in the
‘services’ rendered by the mob, you were mostly free of the mob’s influence.
But this is even
worse when it comes to the people who have been elected to govern this nation. Unlike the Mob we can’t escape their rule or
tyranny. There’s no rival mob gang to
come to our defense. We must defend ‘ourselves’
and now this government mob is bent on taking away our only means of defense.
When George W. Bush
proposed a tax cut for all wage earners in 2003, Alan M. Webber, founding
editor of Fast Company magazine, presented the classic plunder-to-satisfy-the-wants-of-the-people
worldview. “At the community level,”
he wrote, “ordinary folks want jobs, they want benefits, and they want
reassurance. This is the time, not for
tax cuts, but for Democrat-style spending programs: temporary job creation,
targeted public works expenditures, extended unemployment benefits.” These are the comments of someone who believes
that government is really run by mob bosses.
Weber believes that confiscating money from wage earners, passing it
through a huge bureaucracy, and then distributing a lesser amount of money to
the helpless masses is better than allowing wage earners to keep their money,
save it, spend it, and invest it and cause the economy to grow naturally. This is mob politics in action.
Real jobs are
created not by government but by the people, and fewer people remain dependent
on the State when consumers make their own economic decisions. But then, dependency isn’t created either. All mobs need the people to be dependent on
them and fearful of what they can do.
Webber believes
that a complex and multifaceted economy is better managed by bureaucrats than
the billions of economic decisions made every day by consumers. The only ones who benefit by “public
works expenditures” are the politicians who create the programs and
those empowered to implement them. The
losers are the productive members of society who are plundered and those who
become dependent on confiscated wealth given to them in the phony name of
compassion.
It’s no different today. There are drones in the skies, a hit-list of
political undesirables, a bought-off complicit media, continued tribute (taxes)
to the bosses, laws passed to drive out competition, subsidization of
supporters of the regime, and support of mob boss unions.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The Mob
is alive and well in Washington
D.C. Government
Mob Museum
Think about this
the next time you vote…
