WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 9, 2019 - In a new and not shocking poll, Amerikans said they hate the government almost as much as they hate Big Pharma. Considering both are in each other’s back pocket, that makes complete sense and no one should be surprised by this.
Amerika hates Big Pharma and the government. No surprise there. The pharmaceutical industry is hated slightly more. It ranked last in favorability among Amerikans, according to a new poll conducted by Gallop. This year marked the lowest net positivity rating (the difference between people who say they like the industry and those who dislike the industry) that the pharmaceutical industry has had since Gallup started polling in 2001.
Big Pharma’s -31 net positivity rating was so low only a handful of industries had been ranked lower. Other hated sectors include the federal government and oil and gas companies
The federal government had been last or tied last on Gallup’s poll since 2011. This year, it ranks as the second least favorable industry. It was close to as hated as Big Pharma with a net positivity rating of -27. With the increasing levels of authoritarian controls and demands for people to give up their liberty and freedom in exchange for a police state, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Humans were not meant to be slaves and those in the Fascist Police States of Amerika may slowly be waking up to the reality in which they’ve found themselves.
Hopefully the government and industries that it protects, such as Big Pharma, will never recover and only see their ratings drop. It’s easier to enslave people when they are addicted to drugs and that addiction fuels Big Pharma’s profits. It’s a neverending circle of profits for Big Pharma, and death and enslavement for everyone else.
Lysander Spooner, author of No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, was an anti-authoritarian philosopher and legal theorist who had spent his earlier life vigorously campaigning against slavery. Following the War of Northern Aggression, he became horrified at the brutality and carnage that had been unleashed. Redoubling his criticisms, Spooner asserts his dismay that the U.S. government was rendered inert by its Constitution; slavery was only abolished after a long and bloody war, whereas if it had been forbidden at the outset no such conflict would have arisen.
A strong proponent of natural law - the concept that all humans had rights endowed at the point of their birth - Spooner had a sense of revulsion at how American politics had ensued in the early-to-mid 19th Century. It was thus that No Treason was written in the hope of moderating the Constitution to ensure that slavery and bloody recriminations for secession would never again occur.
