Is This Not a Perfect Description of Where We are Today?
Read this quote from The Matrix where Morpheous describes the Matrix.
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around and what do you see? Businessmen, Teachers, Lawyers, Carpenters…the very minds of the people we’re trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so innerred, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will that they will fight to protect it.
That description is a perfect description of American society when it comes to laws such as the income tax and how we allow ourselves to be controlled by our government. The Matrix is an almost perfect allegory of America today.
