The Doomsday Book

I don't know if you've ever heard of the Doomsday Book (c. 1086)? Sounds so damn ominous doesn't it? I'm sure Glen Beck and his deep scholarship on all things, will paint for you a terrible picture of indecency and injustice, caused by a damnable out of control government of an overreaching oligarchy (whatever the fuck that is). And in a twisted perspective, I guess that would be true?

The book actually gets it's name as a joke about the double edged sword of justice. It was the first time that property ownership was documented in a census of national wealth and resources. If you weren't named in the book, you had no rights of ownership. However if you were named in the book, you were subject to the king's taxes.

Leave it to corporate America to twist the laws in such a way that they escape DOOMSDAY, and then complain that taxes being too high for them. Bank of America will pay NO TAXES this year, neither will Exxon/Mobil, but I'll bet you have! Holy shit, don't bring on DOOMSDAY, it might just be fair to the common people?

Never in the history of the WORLD, has all the wealth been own by so few. And once they've managed to purchase a government to their own liking, never have they been ask to contribute so little in return (and I call nothing a little). 80% of the wealth in America is owned by 1/10th of 1%, that just 300,000 people. Reality Check time; You most likely are not one of them!
