Who do you think the corporations are? Who do you think the small businesses are? Usurping the free enterprise of the American people and selling it as "freedom" is a sly tactic. Those industries, those corporation, those businesses ARE the American people.

The government can never ever actually represent the people. It cannot act in the best interest of the people.

You know why?

Because it's made of people, and those people can only act in the best interest of themselves. They will never ever act in the best interest of other people, because people physically cannot.

So why are Americans getting "poorer"

Well they're not. This is absolutely false. The American people are getting richer. The American people have a widening wealth gap, but that is far from increasing poverty.

That increasing wealth gap is due to restrictions imposed by enlightened bureaucrats on people getting wealthy, in collusion with the old money old industry extremely wealthy incumbents.

In other words the State apparatus is hijacked by the incumbents that assume their survival is the survival the American people, hence they are "public". That state apparatus will never ever attempt to dismantle the very thing that feeds it.

That's why it hates newcomers and that's why the state apparatus must go.
