How "the System" Really Works

About the Book

Anyone who has paid too much to the tax-man, or taken a beating on a box-store purchase, or suffered from the pious people's guilt trips may appreciate the viewpoints of someone who comes from the lower section of the social ladder. This short, quick book points out how the powers-that-be exploit the masses while claiming to be fighting for the cause of the common people.

While most books treat the common people's values with satire, this book takes a serious look at how issues like immigration, surveillance, strange expectations, and scandals affect the lives of real people.

It is the opinion of this author that these enterprises and others work in unison with each other to exploit the masses, and lie about wanting to help the disadvantaged.

After taking a look at how different sectors operate, and exposing a few of their schemes, this book offers a few pointers about how to live in an exploiting world without becoming suit-fodder.

About the Author
