Interpretations

Imagine if government left it to the goodwill of the public to offer proceeds instead of the automatic deductions. The United States would be a nominal nation bereft of income. Likewise, certain recesses would have endured obscure practices for a comparative few, if not for state interference. Take the annexation of Christ-mass by the United States in 1885. Enacted as a federal holy day; with increased promotion, it has developed into an indiscreet saturnalia of consuming. The masses certainly would obey nothing of the type independent of governmental guidance.

Invariably, the preponderance employs a parochial view. Simply look up to the leaders; bide your time, passively awaiting some sign, and when it finally appears through one of their acting mediums-simply follow.

However, the lateral prospect serves best. Strive to attain knowledge of the leadership; peer down on your world. This procedure brings truth as we may have it concerning Christmas. Another crafty design to liberate money from people’s folds. The administration produces a costume {a holiday!} bedecks it with glittering jewels {peace on earth, goodwill towards men} then tenders it before a delusional public. The allure of adorning yourself with natural virtue proves too much; merrily you slip into the attire; next you’re cheerfully shoveling your money into one of their provisional bank vaults {retail stores if you prefer}. Duped by Satan, anew.
