The State of the State in a nutshell:

The state of the state in a nutshell:

• American (US) bureaucracies and institutions do not help the average citizen; they are merely facades.
• American laws avoid protecting the natural rights of American citizens.
• American police frequently file charges only to prevent their own misconducts from being brought to the attention of the courts or the media.
• The police usually never help solve crimes.
• The police usually entrap ordinary citizens with vehicle related incidents in order to extort money or give the illusion of crime prevention.
• The police criminalize the average citizen because criminals are too dangerous to pursue or difficult to catch.
• The courts only grant a person a constitutional right if they have paid their lawyer a lot of money.
• Prison and trials are cruel punishment.  Only circuitous reasoning justifies the process as not cruel.
• Government bureaucracy deceives the politicians to give the illusion of valuable service.
• Government gives the illusion that it protects the natural rights of their citizens.
• Government thinks the economy is a perpetual motion machine.
• The economic profession is broken.
• Allowing a trade deficit is equivalent to thinking that bloodletting is good medical treatment.
• Deficit spending is equivalent to thinking that bloodletting is good medical treatment.
• Government and the banks ONLY decrease the money supply to varying degrees.
• Social Security taxes are cloaked reverse progressive taxes (the middle class pays at a higher rate).
• Most billionaires and CEOs are thieves.
• Government sacrifices soldiers to their War God.
• American jobs are sacrificed to the Gods of Wall St.
• Timeshares are worthless as investments.

Typically citizens of other nations will say that these generalities apply to their own country as well.
