Middle Class Populist

Earlier today CEO’s of the big three came to the capital each in their private jet to say how they are going to cost trim. Isn’t it amazing that companies and even motivational guru’s can praise concepts like “Kaizen” or “CANEI” where worker groups are encouraged to create “profitable innovations” then be compensated merely by praise instead of money while corporate heads can be compensated with millions and fly in private jets to Congress to request billions for their mismanagement! Maybe we should do the opposite! Maybe that is why they are in the situation they are now because the real “ATLAS SHRUGGED”!

I believe the auto companies need to first go into bankruptcy with their chief executives fired! THEN our nation can intervene with a printing press cash infusion that would be reciprocated with both a contract to reform and a share of their corporate stocks. These stocks could latter be sold to generate a profit for our society that risked this investment!

I do not believe America should go into debt for the effete snobs of corporate America when we have pressing needs for Universal Health Care and funding for Alternative Fuel Research and Development. Tonight I heard Mitt Romney saying that the big three American Automakers need to become “competitive”. If I heard Barrack Obama state that I would agree. But when I hear Mitt Romney say the word “competitive”, I get a shiver up my spine.

When Republicans say “competitive” what they really mean is that employees should reduce their salaries to that of third world countries. Yes there will be the need for the UAW Union to compromise but I reject a bailout that would include a substantial lowering of wages and/or the movement of auto manufacturing off shore. What then is the purpose if the big three auto companies decide to renounce their American identity! Why should we bail them out!

Now that the American auto industry has followed Rush Limbaugh and manufactured these dinosaur cars called “SUVs” why aren’t the Republicans willing to help them. After all if you listen to Rush Limbaugh you would think that driving an SUV is a patriotic act!

President - Elect Barrack Obama has stated he would like to see the auto industry become the leaders in “Green Technology” and have America take the lead in selling fuel efficient cars to the world! I agree! Instead of shipping American jobs overseas we should ship cars instead. But I also believe there is another marketing niche that the American auto industry is ignoring.

One Indian company is making a small non-frills “starter” car that they hope to flood the Indian market with. In the third world there is an emerging middle class and a “proto middle class” that is financially above poverty but not quite ready to be called “middle class”. These folks would love to be able to buy a car but they need a “no frills” type car that has manual transmission, no radio or a/c. They cannot afford a regular car but do want to own a car. True this would not sell in the United States but this is the only type of car that some could afford currently in the Third World. This class of consumer is above poverty but not quite middle class. We should not surrender this marketing niche to foreign Automakers!

Finally since the UAW is going to have to give some concessions I would suggest: the auto companies give them stock in lieu of pay increases and they have some quota of representatives on the corporate board of directors!

Hey isn’t that why George Bush wanted to allow younger workers to opt out of Social Security deductions for a private investment accounts so they would “identify” with the ruling class! Well forcing the big three auto makers to give their union workers stock and a quota of representatives on their board is better than the ‘praise compensation” of CANEI or “Kaizen”! If the new executives of the big three auto firms along with executives of welfare recipient AIG do well then instead of being compensated with money we can use their CANEI or Kaizen method and simply call a company meeting and give them “praise”. Hey that is the way to “motivate” them right? Well why treat workers to that and not executives!

The Middle Class has had enough of these effete snobs of privilege!

Isn’t amazing that we can bail out AIG with the cost going up between 110 to 150 billion yet we cannot afford 75 - 100 billion per year for Universal Health Care! AIG screwed me when I worked for them. We lived in fear each year near the holidays that we would be subject to “re-org”! Sometimes they would then offer us a position as a “PERMANENT TEMP”. This would reset the pension clock if we were taken back. When I worked there they had an entire division of “AIG TEMPS” who worked full time permanently! This relieved AIG of paying them a pension and vacation time. Hell they did this so as not to pay external temp contracter companies. Nothing wrong with that but not when these employees are really full time PERMANENT TEMPS!

Yes there are valid needs for temps but those people really work seasonally not as a permanent subclass without health care, pension or vacation. Then there was “good ole Hank Greenberg”! Well he wasn’t known by the name “Hank” when I was there. His name is “Maurice Richard Greenberg” or as he would sign every company memo “MR Greenberg”! When I finally left AIG to take a civil service job I had a small pension but five years letter they sent me a smaller check for $1,600 and terminated my pension.

Oh yes this is the company that had as one of it’s divisions “Socialist Countries”. They had no problem investing in the enemies of America. But they did have a problem giving honest Americans employment as computer programmers! You know the employment category that is supposed to be the fall back for auto workers and other displaced workers once they “buckle down” and study! Read what the “Programmers Guild” has to say about AIG and how they took in foreign computer workers just so they could fire their higher paid American programmers.

Then these idiots have the audacity to give their executives bonuses after we bail them out! AIG is a classic example how the Middle Class is being screwed by the corporate elite and their “wealth redistribution program” from the middle class to the effete snobs of the corporate elite!

Might I suggest that instead of worrying about our “social betters” with their bloated “sense of entitlement”, every AIG employee should be given a calendar with “good ole Hank Greenberg’s” picture on it! The calendar would then list the day in the year when the AIG employee’s total compensation would equal the total compensation that the executives and good ole “Hank Greenberg” made on just the first working day of the year! I bet the end of the year would come and AIG employees would still not reach that point!

There is a new consciousness in America! It was predicted in part by the old hippie era book, “The Greening Of America” when it mentions “Consciousness III”! It is sweeping America with the recent election. It is “Middle Class Consciousness! Americans are now asking themselves, “Why are only corporations allowed to pursue their self interest”?

• Hey it’s not like these fat cats actually EARNED their money!
• What contribution did these AIG executives or any of the top 5% do to earn such money?
• Did they work harder than you or me?

No one is trying to stop folks from becoming millionaires. But isn’t it amazing that in Western and Northern Europe where they have semi-socialism they still have millionaires and even multi-billionaires! What is not tolerated in Europe is the bloated “sense of entitlement”! Like Europe, we simply cannot afford this bleeding heart syndrome for the effete snobs of privilege anymore! As Senator Joe Biden has said, “It is time to be PATRIOTIC, time to be part of the solution”! I agree 100%. Hey it’s not like they EARNED IT! Sure they work hard but so do you dear reader! So do I! Fine someone makes two three even four times more than you but what did the executives of AIG do to earn such money.

Let me ask you a rhetorical question!

Would you support giving every African American a check for $50,000.00 in lieu of the uncompensated work their ancestors did while slaves? Well the idea is understandable but most Americans would correctly say “sorry no”. What work their ancestors did does not count, it is the work you do today! The individual must EARN his money. Fine then can you tell me why Cindy McCain has inherited near 88 Million dollars! Seems the over compensated work her ancestor did is still paying off today! No I am not against passing on an inheritance! The issue is priorities and fairness in a FREE SOCIETY! The issue is her opposition to pay a little extra in taxes so the rest of us can have Universal Health Care. It’s not like she earned it for God’s sake! We need employment where we don’t compete against foreign slave wages! Americans need UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE! The silent majority just does not have the time to pity our “social betters” with their bloated “SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT”! 

That is why we have the progressive income tax! It’s just reality checking in! Not to mention that after AIG earned corporate profits from their “Socialist Countries Division” it is just time to be well “PATRIOTIC”. Three cheers for Vice President - Elect Joe Biden!

The Silent Majority has had enough!

AIG GO TO HELL!

Well it is one week after the election and the future of America is looking up! I am happy as heck but never believed this would happen. The time has come to roll back the evils of the Bush era! Hell let’s not only roll back the Bush tax cuts but the Reagan tax cuts also! I love the bull that the bleeding hearts of the Republican Party whine on the news media! They whine that we Democrats want to engage in a “Wealth Redistribution Program. Excuse me that is what has been going on since Bush took office!

<Enjoy the Video above and show it to your Republican friends they will hate you for it!>

The Middle Class has seen it’s wealth and job opportunities exported to the Third World while the Upper Class reaps the profits. First it was blue collar jobs. But that wasn’t enough for them! Many like myself studied computer science with the hopes of achieving a better life. Then corporate America introduced the H1-b Visa program to fill the few remaining high tech jobs with cheap foreign workers who must fear for the good will of their employers. Is it any wonder many college students don’t see the point in taking a computer curriculum? What is the INCENTIVE? The “Wall Street Journal” last year in March stated that accounting, bio tech, financial analyst and other white collar jobs will follow! Apparently to earn a living you must secure it from your portfolio or corporate executive job. Blue collar and yes even white collar jobs are for the under class in the Republican scheme of things! Yes the very folks who whine about innovation and incentive being hampered by government intervention have no problem with orchestrating government intervention to destroy the carrer hopes of many college graduates. Then they wonder why “Atlas Shrugged”!

Well there is a new dawn arising in America! “MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS”! We allow the MYTH that some should make millions per year in order to enhance creativity and motivation! But at the same time we must ask ourselves:

• Why should a corporate executive make millions per year”?
• What contribution to society is he making?
• Did he or she create a cure for canceer?
• What contribution did Mrs. McCain make to society when she inherited $88 Million while her fellow travelers try to deny middle class Americans universal health care and some type of employment security!

No one wants to stop incentives and innovation but there needs to be a balance. That is why progressive taxation is so important! Today I heard Rush Limbaugh ask a caller how much money she wants to make. She said $200,000.00 per year. Rush then told her she is then at the limit of the American Dream under Barrack Obama! Really Rush?

Isn’t it amazing that in Northern and Western Europe where they have socialism they still have millionaires and yes even multi-billionaires! So Rush Limbaugh should stop his whining! Hey it isn’t like they ACTUALLY WORKED FOR IT! <Wow can you believe I said that>

I don not begrudge Cindy McCain her $88 Million that she never worked for but just inherited! But the time has come in this nation when the SILENT MAJORITY, those of us who have to work for a living, and yes even fear that this can be taken away from us, demand equal treatment and a government that is responsive to our needs!

Believe me if just working alone was a guarantee of success then the corporate top 5% would not have K-STREET pushing for “government intervention” to serve their agenda! This election has demonstrated that the SILENT MAJORITY wants Universal Health care rather than welfare for the rich! Sure it’s ok to be a millionaire but what about me is the new mantra of the middle class!

We cannot get involved in the compensation for every job title. Let the market do that. But tax time is time for a check in with REALITY! No ne wants to stop folks from being millionaires! But the middle class has been the victim of the Republican Wealth Redistribution Scheme for too long. More and more Americans are starting to see this! I know the video below has got to be a joke but I think there is some truth in it. You can always hope. Anyway I am feeling giddy afterr the election victory so enjoy have a laugh!

I know several conservatives who took a beating in the stock market and said they voted for Barrack Obama because he will bring stability to the market even if they have to pay higher taxes! The economy may make even Klansmen think! More and more Americans, while not trying to stop anyone from being a millionaire or hamper creative innovation, do wonder what many in the upper five percent actually do to be compensated to such a great degree over the average American.

Like it’s not that most of these upper 5% ACTUALLY EARNED THE COMPENSATION THEY RECEIVE!

Sure they work but do they do so one hundred times more than you or me? I don’t think so! Barrack Obama needs to be the Pontifex Maximus for the new era. He must not merely act as a reverse George Bush but become the “Philosopher - President” like FDR and JFK! I We need to bring “European Innovations” to America! The first was “Social Security”. Can you imagine if George Bush had his way when he wanted to allow younger workers to switch to private investment accounts? First the drain on a smaller base for Social Security. Then the stock market disaster! Bush wanted to make more people “identify” with the upper class. Hell most of us already have stocks yet that doesn’t change the fact that if you loose your job your stocks will be gone soon. Barrack Obama needs to help the average American acquire more MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS!

You can feel the fear in the Republicans!

ISN’T IT WONDERFUL!

HELL YES!

Oh the bleeding hearts in the Republican Party want us to weep for the poor upper 5% who make out like bandits while we the Silent Majority - America’s great Middle Class work our butts off every day to stay afloat. Their sense of “entitlement is beyond imagination! No I don’t deny the right of people to become millionaires! But the word “socialism” does not send fear down my spine. Especially not European style socialism. Instead Unemployment and lack of heath care send a shiver of fear down my spine! I want to become not just a computer programmer but also a self employed computer consultant! I need universal health care to do this and for my pay scale not to be undercut by importing low salary H1-b foreign tech workers to destroy my dreams! If there were a shortage of tech workers let the “free market” take care of it via higher salaries! The corporations have no problem manipulating for government intervention in the free market to lower my pay scale as a tech worker!

In the video above Senator Joe Biden leads the Silent Majority in “STANDING UP FOR AMERICA”! Naturally the effete snobs of privilege would prefer profits from off shoring and they resent this call to patriotism!

The human body has two nervous systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic that compliments each other. Many things in life do not have clear cut solutions but compromises to bring about a “homeostasis” of competing desirable values! The progressive income tax is one side of the compensation homeostasis of the body of society! While we want to encourage the future Bill Gates of America to create we must also look at the top and ask a fundamental question that more and more Americans are now willing to ask:

“Why should someone earn more money than me especially when it is hundreds of time more than the average Joe makes? What contributions to society are they doing that warrant such compensation?”

Oh dear me now I did it, I broke a taboo of our internalized culture! Let me ask you a rhetorical question! Would you favor giving African Americans a check of $50,000.00 dollars for the uncompensated work that their ancestors did as slaves? Well most of us would favor the “sentiment” but not the actual act. I also would not favor giving such a check as we believe people should reap the rewards of their own merits rather than the ones of their ancestors. Yet Cindy McCain inherited somewhere around $36 - $88 million dollars from her ancestors. So in her case hours worked from past ancestors are still paying off today! Again we are trying to balance the right to pass on wealth with the dictates of a free society where one’s advancement is the result of ones own merit and all can have an equal shot at being wealthy!

We do not want our society to get involved with the relative compensation of one citizen vs. another as this is a competitive aspect that we prefer to believe does not exist! However are we willing to believe that executives who make millions per year are contributing to a free society in proportion to their compensation? This is where progressive taxation is just society’s way of saying “Time For A Reality Check”! That is because it really is a MYTH that a multi-millionaire makes a greater contribution to society that a member of the SILENT MAJORITY - America’s great Middle Class!

We live in an era of licentious permissiveness (I love to use Republican Speak) where loyalty to the nation that gave wealth to corporations and investors is considered ethically relative in relation to making a profit! We see our jobs; technology and even corporations off shored, frequently even to the enemies of America while those higher paying jobs that remain in the technology area are filled by foreign H1-b Visa workers. AIG was a prime example of using H1-b employees to destroy the careers of computer professionals! These corporations frequently renounce their American identity to term themselves “multinational” while they sing their new “Republican Party Globalization Internationale” at the expense of the nation that give them birth, incorporation, protection and profits!

Yet where are these BLEEDING HEARTS of the Republican Party when this massive WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION program is taking place from the “producers” in our society to the upper 5% via the instruments of Globalization, H1-b Visas and predatory debt practices by both mortgage lenders and credit card companies! The latter that use fees and higher rates to insure that many never will pay off their cards! America’s Silent Majority is starting to realize that CLASS WARFARE has been going on all the time! We go to job interviews and we have to parrot that we read the company’s annual report and find it so wonderful that we want to commit a life time of service to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVE while they make no such commitment to us! As if the needs of the Corporate Collective are the individual’s needs also! Corporations are allowed to have desire for profit and greed. The employee is to pledge his life long commitment without a reciprocal one in return from the Corporate Collective!

The initial job interview is not a test of ones skills but of ones internalization of the Corporate Collective’s needs over the individual! Like I give a shit that they made x amount last year as it may be because they paid their employees less! I am not to have greed and the desire for profit rather I am to subvert my needs to the corporate collective! Don’t change what I am saying here. Being part of a “team” is essential when seeking employment. The issue is the one sided aspect of the relationship! Is it any wonder that “trickle down economics” was so successful in the political arena! We are indoctrinated to serve our social betters from the time we seek employment! Ah yes the Republican Brave New World! Let the rich upper 5% of the world unite and let us sing with them “The Republican Corporate Globalization Internationale” as we ship American jobs, wealth, technology and our futures overseas while our social betters reap the rewards of this WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT!

Instead of talking about how many days into the new year we are paying taxes maybe every American employee should receive with his paycheck a note telling him at what day in the new year his total compensation will equal the first day of compensation of the corporate CEO!

Let’s join Joe Biden and use that “S” word proudly. TIME TO “STAND” UP FOR AMERICA! This November 4th is SILENT MAJORITY DAY! Time to take our nation back from these effete snobs of privilege whose loyalty is to profit before country! 

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN! 

John McCain is playing the “Patriot Game” and placing the welfare of the upper 5% over the class interests of the Silent Majority - our great Middle Class! While speaking to NBC’s Brian Williams, John McCain said the nation’s elected officials should place the needs and agenda of America’s Corporate Class above the money allocated by our constitutionally elected officials. Let me make one thing clear! I don’t like earmarks in general though what is an earmark to one could be a vital necessity to another! None the less I would be more willing to spend millions of dollars that were allocated by our constitutionally elected representatives to study the mating habits of monarch butterflies in North Dakota than to spend one penny subsidizing the rich fat cats of Wall Street!

First we are told that America cannot afford Universal Health Care but we MUST allocate immediately 700 Trillion Dollars to prop up the reckless behavior of Wall Street! Regardless if you believe in Universal Health Care or not! (I Do). Why are we to march lock step to the music of John McCain and his fellow traveler George Bush! Like a little baby John McCain is holding the debates hostage to our acceptance of this program! You can see his selfishness when in the above interview he talks about wanting “Town Hall Meetings”. So if he had “Town Hall Meetings” where he could pack them with political hacks then he would forget the fiscal crises? He speaks of wasteful government spending yet when Bill Clinton left office we had a budget surplus!

We are in this financial mess because John McCain and his fellow traveler George Bush have committed this nation to a vast Wild Eyed SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT IN IRAQ! They continue to pump lives and money into this project years after the Congressional goals of the war were fulfilled! Years after “Mission Accomplished” they now talk about a one hundred year commitment while the War on Terror is being lost in Afghanistan!

Where is the NEWS MEDIA on the facts of this financial mess? We are witnessing yet again more Pro-conservative news media biases! You never hear the role of the Iraq War and its effect on our economy from these talking heads! Yet the Republicans whine about the news media being biased against them! When will the Democrats get some spine and go on the attack instead of merely being “reactors”!

The time has come for The Middle Class, America’s Silent Majority to stand up to these effete snobs of Corporate America and say enough! No bail out! Protect America from the licentious permissiveness of deregulation!

STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

NATIONALIZE THE BANKS AND CREDIT CARD COMPANIES!

Let’s call it THE “FISCAL PATRIOT ACT”!

John McCain’s slogan is “Country First”! Therefore why should we rush this bailout for Wall Street? If our banks and credit institutions fail we should simply NATIONALIZE THE BANKS AND CREDIT CARD COMPANIES!

(The Above Video by “The Young Turks” collaborates  a point I made in a prior post and goes beyond with some EXCELLENT additional insights)

I am sick of our nation being pushed by the Republican politics of fear! Instead of rushing this bailout for AIG, a company that fired many of it programmers after first having them train their H1-b foreign replacements, I suggest we wait out the supposed banking crises when AIG goes belly up! By the way as a former employee I hope they do go under! If there is a problem with our banking system this is 2008 not 1929 and our society no longer suffers from many free market hang ups! Nationalize the banks and credit card companies! The Republicans seem to believe this nation must automatically self destruct unless we surrender to their crony protectionist scheme! Why are we to saddle our nation with the risk and cost equivalent of two Iraqi Wars? No way! What for the effete snobs of AIG? That company used to “re-org” folks out of work every two years. Then hire them back as full time temps and six months latter rehire them. Now the pension clock was set back! I know I was one of them!

America’s Silent Majority - Our Great Middle Class are growing tired of those who make huge sums of money but lack Social Responsibility to the society and nation that allows them to do so. Let’s remember WE RESENT THOSE WHO MAKE FAR MORE THAN US AND IT IS A HEALTHY RESENTMENT! What have they done to be so over compensated! Let them experience, as one Congresswoman stated, “Not a Golden Parachute but a crash landing as most Americans experience”!

Tonight John McCain played a great political game and attempted to suspend the debates and campaign. Great first we suspend our constitutional guarantees with the Patriot Act and wage a Republican Wild Eyed Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq that brought us to this financial crisis! Now we are supposed to “trust” the Republicans in this new national crisis that they and their fellow travelers on Wall Street brought about. As I mentioned in my prior post isn’t it amazing how we don’t have the money for Universal Health Care yet the Middle Class taxpayer is supposed to finance this wild eyed social engineering experiment in Iraq years after “Mission Accomplished”! We had election campaigns in the midst of World Wars and Civil Wars. What’s the worst that can happen? Nationalize the banks and credit card companies! 

When Bill Clinton left office we had a balanced budget. George Bush destroyed that with his Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq. Little minor details like the differences between Shiite and Sunni never seemed to bother the Social Engineering Experts at the Republican Party! Now McCain wants to continue this for 100 years! It used to be said, and I never even agreed with it, that “politics ends at our shores”! Now Politics is to end at Wall Street! The Republicans are to “PONTIFICATE” what is our national interest and we are all to meekly follow! We are all like good little slaves to serve the Corporate Collective! Ah yes they have a term for this! They call it “FREEDOM”.

• Freedom from economic security!

• Freedom from Universal Health Insurance I rather serve my social betters and insure AIG!

• Freedom from Democratic decision making as corporations and their lobbyists know best for the Silent Majority!

• Freedom from stability as I grow older in the work force! What need do I have for that! My lot is to serve my social betters!

The time has come for Republicans to remember the “lessons of history”! A phrase they so love to quote! Hitler took power in the fear of the Reichstag Fire! We have had enough “Enabling Acts” since Bush and Cheney took office!

Stand Up For America and the Hell With AIG and Wall Street. If the banks and credit institutions start to go then “Country First”!

NATIONALIZE THE BANKS AND CREDIT CARD COMPANIES!

Then we will not have to rush this kidnapping of our economic future by these effete snobs of corporate America!

Gosh golly I thought the costs of Universal Health Insurance would be impossible to pay for according to the same folks who gave us this costly Wild Eyed Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq! But now that AIG is going belly up Americans are expected to foot the bill for a company that underwrote the destruction of American worker’s middle class lifestyle! The “Programmer’s Guild”, which is embryonic union for Computer Professionals, has stated that AIG has undermined the salaries of American computer workers by using foreign H1-b workers and even forcing their own American employees at AIG to train foreign replacement computer workers!

Why is it that Universal Health Care costs were said to be out of range for our society yet the American Middle Class must underwrite a Corporation that undermines skilled American workers! You see it is not just a blue collar issue! How come we as a society can be called upon to arouse our national resources to save the corporate giants but not to establish Universal Health Care! While the effete snobs of the corporate world bail out on their golden parachutes the Silent Majority is expected to underwrite their greed yet be denied Universal Health Care!

If we had Universal Health Care we would be independent of the Corporate Collectives! Some of us who are computer oriented might even start our own consulting business! But the costs of individual health care are to prohibitive! All would have the freedom to change jobs without fearing the loss of health care!

Republicans do not want us to have this freedom! They INSTEAD want to give us:

·FREEDOM from health care!

· FREEDOM from economic security!

· FREEDOM from tying to make a better life by going back to college and taking technical courses THEN importing foreign technological workers to fill the jobs they don’t ship overseas!

· FREEDOM to pay ever increasing unregulated rates and charges to credit cards and mortgage companies while the effete snobs profit from our pain!

I applaud Senator Joe Biden in demanding that the upper 5% pay a higher percentage of taxes! It’s the patriotic thing to do for those who benefit from easy money! After all it is secondary income from stocks not work. Further we the Silent Majority allow this ridiculous over compensation for executives who even make more than the President of the United States! Instead of being the lackeys of the Corporate Class and being told how many days we have to work each year until we finish paying our taxes, I propose instead informing every corporate employee something else with a note in their pay check! Every employee should be told how many days they have to work before they reach the total compensation of the Corporation CEO receives in one day!

Tax day is merely a time for a check into reality for those who are so promiscuously over compensated! Who are they to earn hundreds of times more than me! There is a movement in the corporate world where employees are encouraged to make suggestions to help the company profit. Yet they get little financial compensation. Instead they get social reinforcement! Let’s use the same thing with CEOs! Don’t give them big bonuses instead have a meeting and say, “Lets have a big round of applause for Bill Gates for his new innovations in Windows Vista!

Sure I grant doctors the right to earn more than me! But when someone is making millions per year there comes a time for some SOCIAL RESPONSIBILTY! Oh dear did I say a bad word in this era of Licentious Permissiveness! Gee I don’t see these companies running now to some tropical island to set up their headquarters! I have to work not just for pay but for “pain avoidance“! I have bills. Let these effete snobs join the rest of the Silent Majority!

Maybe George Bush and his fellow traveler John McCain should now advocate the privatization of Social Security as they did a few years back! God imagine if this nation had followed their advice! This bail out is going to cost us the price of two Iraqi Wars!

The time has come to say NO to a third term for George Bush’s and his fellow traveler John McCain!

Stand up For America and the Middle Class!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN 2008!

We live in an era of Licentious Permissiveness where Corporations come before people! On Friday “NBC Nightly News” Anchor Brian Williams said “the cost of this bailout is equal to two Iraqi Wars”! Yet the Philosophers of Corporate Permissiveness will rant against the Middle Class as McCain advisor Phil Graham calls us a “Nation of Whiners”! These are the very same people, who gave us the wild eyed Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq! It has taken us longer than our occupation of Nazi Germany but cannot produce results, yet they tell us we cannot afford Universal Health Care! Well McCain economic advisor, Senator Phil Gramm thinks we are a nation of “whinners”!

Make no mistake about it! This crises was not simply caused by an era of Licentious Permissiveness in the Corporate Boardroom without accountability, but also the Republican continuance of this Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq long after “Mission Accomplished”! The Republicans,where not satisfied with the Bush Tax cut to the wealthy and the destruction of the Bill Clinton budget surplus! They then ran up a monumental war debt while the War on Terror went and still goes largely unfought! They are the ones who gave us this financial crises! With home loans being made that had floating rates what do you think is going to happen when our nation goes from a budget surplus to a monumental war debt and interest rates go up?

I don’t see any rush now by the big companies to leave America when they can get a handout for their mismanagement! Does anyone see the extensive program of “Wealth Distribution” from the Middle Class to the Corporate Upper Class! Why should we have to carry the burden! Their motto is:

Private Profits - Socialized Risk and Debt!

We can find the national resolve to bail out the corporations but where is that same resolve when the issue is UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE! These parasites no longer engage in exporting goods and services but instead they export American jobs (both blue and white collar) along with American technology. Frequently even to the enemies of freedom! Then they undermine the college technological graduate by importing cheaper H1-b Visa workers to fill the technology jobs here that they do not export! All the while the push for the redistribution of wealth away from the Producers in this society to it’s parasites in the Corporate Class! Yet the bleeding hearts of the Republican Party will not Stand Up For America as Senator Joe Biden has so wonderfully stated!

We the producers in this nation, the Silent Majority or Middle Class, are willing to “tolerate” the nonsense of disproportionate compensation in order to spur creativity! But there comes a time when the piper must be paid! We need to return to the tax schedules that were in existence prior to Ronald Reagan! How many days does an employee of a corporation have to work until his compensation equals that of a CEO! Sure it is ok to pay CEO’s more! But they have been getting away with murder! Tax time is a “check in with reality”! They make too much - period!

While we have to perform this bail out as they have entwined “Corporate Interest” with our National Economic Survival, we cannot let them add to our national debt the cost of two Iraq Wars on top of the one we are already waging! (See the Video Below)

When the “Referee” or Government leaves the field of competition it does not result in an increase of freedom! Rather the BULLY now fills the vacuum! We are living in an era of Corporate Collectivism! We cannot even leave our jobs to start our own business because we depend on the Corporation for our Health Care! Without regulation Corporate greed runs wild! We need SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY in this era of corporate licentious permissiveness!

In this environment we have John McCain talking about the “fundamentals of our economy” being strong because the American Worker is strong! Where was he when he and his fellow travelers in the Corporate Class redistributed the wealth of America’s Producers! He was for the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy!

Many upper class folks (not all) attempt to deprive the Middle Class of Universal Health Care! No this age of Licentious Permissiveness must come to an end! Let us join with Senator Joe Biden in urging a repeal of the Bush Tax Cuts! Let the upper 5% pay more it is only patriotic!

Stand up for America and our Middle Class - the Silent Majority!

Vote for Barrack Obama and Joe Biden this November!

Well Monday the stock market fell 504 points! Thank God this nation did not allow it’s citizens to remove funds from Social Security to place in “Private Investment Accounts” as John McCain and his fellow traveler George Bush wanted! Certainly it is good to take disposable extra income and invest it. But that presumes one will at least have the “pittance” that is provided by Social Security.

John McCain and his fellow traveler George Bush are waging “Psychological Warfare” against the Middle Class. They want your pittance to be a means by which you can then “identity” with the upper class so that their licentious tax cuts for capital gains and corporations can be maintained! In light of the current stock market collapse can you imagine what would have happened if America’s Silent Majority had allowed McCain and friends to have their way? In the video below McCain tries to say that he is not for privatization of Social Security! Instead he wants just the young to remove their money!

Yet Social Security is a “social contract” between the generations! It has assisted in the reduction in size of the American family! This size reduction has contributed greatly to the rise of the American Middle Class! The reason the stock market took such a hit recently was due to the housing slump! That was caused by greedy banking and loan companies trying to over loan money to those who were sub-prime then expecting society to preserve their profits. Combine this with rising interest rates due to the Republican wild eyed SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq, how can you expect anything else? Hell what do you expect when they change our “mission” in Iraq from “Mission Accomplished” to remaining on a thirteen hundred year old fault line between Sunni and Shiite! This from an administration that does not even know the difference! What happened to the budget surplus under Bill Clinton!

Oh but the pro-conservative national news media would rather we focus on such highly important issues as “LIPSTICK ON A PIG“! Gee you would think Joe Biden had died the way the news media ignores him!

One economist whom I heard on the Bill Moyer’s show termed this, “the privatisation of profits with the socialization of risks”! Clearly these 21^st century Collectives (corporations) which Americans must be a part of, don’t give a krap about the society that gave them succor, incorporation and profits!

Perhaps instead of calender marking how many days we have to work per year till we finish paying our taxes, we should instead have every employee in a company receive a notice how many days he would have to work to equal one day of the compensation of the corporation’s CEO! The time has come for America’s vast Silent Majority - our great Middle Class, to say “NO” to these effete snobs of corporate America who want us to subvert our CLASS INTEREST to the service of the Corporate Collective and it’s 2% ownership class! We are witnessing the rise of MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS! No amount of lip stick on a pig is going to make the pig any less of a pig!

The time for change has come!

Stand Up For the SILENT MAJORITY - our great Middle Class!

STAND UP FOR AMERICA! VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN SAY “NO” TO THESE EFETE SNOBS OF CORPORATE COLLECTIVISM! 

This Labor Day while loyal American workers forsake the traditional world wide Labor Day of May 1^st, the Republicans and their fellow travelers place their CLASS INTEREST above their loyalty to the nation that gave them succor, incorporation, profit and birth!

In this era of licentious permissiveness when the word “responsibility” to the nation that gave corporations birth and profits is perceived as a bad word, loyal American workers celebrate “Labor Day”. That is American Labor Day! Meanwhile Halliburton has moved it’s corporate headquarters to Dubai, many others forsake their responsibility by opening mock headquarters on remote Caribbean Islands to avoid paying taxes to the nation that made it possible for them to collect their corporate profits! While American workers place the national interest over class interest by rejecting May Day as their labor day, the Republicans sing their “corporate INTERNATIONALE”! They shed their “American identity” to now self style themselves as “Multinational”! No doubt when China becomes a military threat to us they will rediscover their American Identity when their assets are seized by Beijing and there are new corporate profits to be made building up our military after they betrayed it!

Many here in America will tell us not to buy gasoline from Citco as it has ties to a Venezuela’s President Chavez! I reject this arguement!

Why can someone who is far wealthier than I am be allowed to invest in Venezuela or any other enemy of America and gain a profit while I should be expected to pay higher for gasoline in order not to finance Chavez! What about those who are investing and making profits investing in China and/or Vietnam?

You know Vietnam the nation which was supposed to be our eternal enemy? I would support bans on investments to nations that are our enemies AND a ban from buying their products! But don’t expect some middle class citizen to do something that a corporation is not willing to do!

We need to stop buying from and investing in our enemies. This is where the government comes in by enacting a social contract! I do not hold all corporations liable as some have to engage in bad practices to survive! That is why we need a strong referee- that being the government! Without it we have an atmosphere of licentious permissiveness where bad behavior drives out good behavior!

Let me make several things clear:

• No one denies the right of anyone to be rich! Far from it. The Kennedy’s are rich and no Democrat or liberal denies them their wealth!
• Because of this era of Republican induced LICENTIOUS PERMISSIVENESS those corporations that follow a patriotic social contract with our society are punished since their correct practices cannot compete with SLAVE LABOR from abroad! These corporations must be protected!

America’s Silent Majority, our great Middle Class, witness the constant off shoring of American jobs. Not just blue collar jobs but white collar technical jobs as well! Our advanced technology is being spread from our shores without regard to how it will effect our national defense! The issue is not National Security but “Portfolio Security” and the allegiance of some (not all) in America’s Corporate Class is their fellows in the upper class of other society’s not to America!

This individual would like nothing better than to start my own computer consulting business but I need medical insurance! Why cannot Americans have Universal Health Care like every other civilized west European nation? The issue for myself and other technology workers is FREEDOM! That is to say FREEDOM FROM corporate collectivization!

In the 21^st Century when the power of government is reduced it does not translate into increased freedom for the citizen! The CORPORATE BULLY fills in the vacuum! When corporations can make contributions to political candidates and causes they collect that money either from their workers in the form of reduced wages of from the consumer via increased prices! I have no problem with the CEO of a company taking money out of his own wallet to finance his political interests but not when he takes it from my wallet! Actually I even resent it if he goes overboard from his wallet because that makes his citizenship more viable than the average member of the Silent Majority!

On this Labor Day let us pause to remember that this is not just a day for blue collar union members but for all members of the Silent Majority, Americas great Middle Class! Technology jobs are being outsourced and soon accounting and financial occupations will follow according to the Wall Street Journal in an article published in March 2007!

Instead of looking at how many days in the year we work before we pay off our social contract perhaps we should pay attention to how many days we have to work before we reach the same level of CEO pay for one day’s work!  The issue is NOT wealth! The issue is wealth without responsibility to the nation that made that wealth possible!

America’s Silent Majority demands:

FAIR TRADE NOT FREE TRADE! STAND UP FOR AMERICA!

SAY NO TO THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CORPORATE INTERNATIONALE SONGFEST!
