I have so much respect for animators, please tell me this isn't how all of them think.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.</I><BR/><BR/>What exactly are you unclear on, Sheriff? That animators should get paid according to the union contract they work under? Why is that a problem, exactly? <BR/><BR/>We ARE a collective. Animation in the studio system doesn't happen due to an individual, it happens because a group of people come together to try to do the best job they can under the usually insane circumstances they're given.<BR/><BR/>Remember, the studios have NO loyalty to you. They'll screw you if they can. And they often do.

Your taxes actually pay for a very small portion of our national debt. So the government empowers the Fed, a private banking cartel, a central bank. Central banks magically create money by issuing credit. 'Presidents' magically use 'tax' policy to placate their base. Labor is deceived into conducting negotiations based on 'salaries' which are hopelessly tied to worthless fiat currency. Meanwhile, the central bank silently amasses the fortune of monarchs through the real tax, inflation. It's how the game works.<BR/><BR/>There is no free market in America. There have been periods in our history that you can point to as examples of a free market, namely when we didn't have a central bank, but they die as soon as the bankers inevitably forget the lessons of history and begin to play magic with the people's deposits. <BR/><BR/>In America today there is only war and debt. England and France and countless other empires have had their numerous dances with both and that's where we are today. We owe a massive fortune and continue to spend ourselves into oblivion. <BR/><BR/>Thanks a lot Hoover-Roosevelt-Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy-Johnson-Nixon-Ford-Carter-Reagan<BR/>Clinton-Bush-Obama.<BR/><BR/>To be fair, there really wasn't much any of them they could do anyway - except wage war, of course. <BR/><BR/>Which is ultimately what the cycle descends into, over and over and over again. Lawyers, guns and money, friends. It's all there in the history books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-5930148407432232752009-04-07T20:14:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:14:00.000-07:00The "free market" isn't "dead."
