Politics – Greed, Corruption and Criminality

Padmini Arhant

Politics thrive on propaganda is an established fact more so now than ever. Whether targeting an opponent on constructive factual review or embellishing own record with make-believe concoctions paradoxical to reality, politics hopelessly rely on P.R.campaign recycling material and policies proven counterproductive.

The criteria to remain in power are – corruption scandals, scathing political and personal legacy combined with treason, collusion and complicity on crimes that are otherwise punishable by law against average citizens that are exempted to the favored by the establishment and machinery in politics. The favor not excluding getting away with murder of innocent civilians is the precedence.

The demise of poison, partisan and hypocrisy politics emanating from greed for power promoting corruption facilitated by criminal background is inevitable for a truly republic system – representative of, by and for the people and the nation at large.

Politics is a treasure trove for all those starved and competing vigorously to extract wealth from wherever possible which is typically robbing the middle and lower income to self-enrichment and self-empowerment.

The politics funded and financed by the wealthiest club ranging from economic, entertainment to foreign sources is premised on candidacy running for public office to serve personal and private entities i.e. vested interests.

The monologue on campaign trail and advertisements during election fund raising seeking donations from as little as $5 and upwards is a big sham scamming the poorest to the middle class in the election spin.

As a result, the citizens contributions of their hard earned savings and other meager income towards political campaign invariably deal with betrayal and mass deception in the aftermath of the elected candidacy’s actual representation of oligarchy and special interests holding strings in the political show.

Accordingly, it would be unwise of ordinary citizens who are the first ones to be let down by politics upon election to office to donate to political campaigns anytime.

The reason being those running for public office are lifetime beneficiaries of the average majority tax payers’ funding –  their remuneration, perks, benefits and privileges such as the secret service to them and their family from the candidate’s debut in politics until the end of their life.

The politics culture especially in the past few decades is to financially deplete the overwhelming population forced into struggling to make ends meet with failed and flawed economic policies designed on – all for us and none for you strategy.

The status quo is aimed at keeping the rest on economic relay race barely surviving amidst sharing the debt burden over generations across the population spectrum.

Importantly, the public office at local to national level having transformed into millionaire, billionaire and trillionaire club, with those either from such wealthy status or the ones sworn allegiance to the wealthy funding their campaign essentially as their candidate to cater for their needs and wealth amassment,

The average citizens’ contributions to political campaign is self-deception falling prey to political fraud collecting money under false pretexts from naive trusting citizens only to be duped and thrown under the bus post election.

This particular practice was popularized and peaked in 2008 Presidential race lauded by the latter admirers as smooth operation and thereafter mimicked by allies and those whom they sponsor within or outside political party.

Beware of con games and pseudo political donations demand gimmicks strategized to befool and swindle money of the least suspecting mainstream citizenry is the writing on the wall in big bold letters as the message of caution.

It is reasonable to mention that taxpayers funding the public office are the employers and need not be expected to foot the bill of any candidacy campaign expense.

The norm is contradictory to the practice in the private sector as no corporation or business offer payments to potential prospective employee to be hired to a position. Any such offers including training and additional job oriented skills provided post recruitment to a position are also adjusted in the employee’s employment income by the business or the company.

Only in public service, the taxpayers apparently foot the bill throughout the political career of others who in return miss no opportunity in depriving and denying the public donors of any means to economic and financial security evident in exorbitant interest rates, rising taxes and devaluation of money through superficial manufactured inflation.

The interesting factor is the financiers and wealthy campaign donors invest in any candidacy on one-time basis and reap monetary benefits as well as other bargains via the candidacy throughout the political term of that candidacy.

On the other hand, the ordinary citizens monetary obligations begin at the candidate’s campaign continued into the public office appointment, retirement and beyond leaving the citizens’ existence and hard labor to keep the government as the authority exercising abuse of power and massive exploitation.

The crooked wicked politics together with groveling assortment media corralling to maintain decadence is unaffordable and unsustainable.

All the more reason for politics to take a bow and let people manage people affairs as they have and are doing until date besides financing the gigantic apparatus known as the government and enormous bureaucracy with key members pledged commitment and loyalty as fiduciary to their relevant alliance.
