Almighty buck is in control

National politicians sound like religious preachers and say they believe in the almighty. It’s not God, but the money behind the politician that keeps them in office. I really do envy ultra-rich people who have the money to buy their place in heaven and a mayor, governor or member of Congress.

It’s interesting to see the faith in walking on water and eternal life mixed with trickle-down economics. Excessive wealth or greed is seen like religious devotion. Our corporate souls are owned by the rich and powerful money handlers that Jesus drove out of the temple. That’s what later got him nailed to a cross.

When a politician says “God bless America,” they mean God bless their view of America. That’s the America that funds their campaigns and attack ads. The benefactors behind a politician dictate what the politician believes based on polling likely voters. Those voters have been brainwashed by corporate media and the poll just verifies the effectiveness of the brainwashing.

The code words of political ads mimic religious worship. Faith and political ideology are mixed to deceive and manipulate voters. We are being duped into political submission by false prophets that run for elected office.
