Citizens suffering

Citizens suffering under the corona pandemic want the government to take action to help them out financially. But we the citizens are the government. It’s just our money helping one another.

We are borrowing money—going into further debt as a country—to deal with the financial consequences of the pandemic. Who has all this money to loan to us? How did they get all this money?

The government has legislated 3 trillion dollars to help those in need. My guess is that there are tens and twentys of billions of dollars in the Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts that are doing nothing but making more money.

It’s the government, not of us, but of the bought legislators that has supported this inequality of wealth and its selfish distribution. The many are desperate while the few live in excess.
