Middle Class Populist

Archive for the ‘Election Process’ Category

Today the Supreme Court ruled that corporations can engage in “Taxation Without Representation” by unrestricted funding of political ads for or against candidates and issues of their choice! Guess where their funding is going to come from? It is bad enough that these effete snobs of privilege earn more in one day then many earn in one year! But they will not simply stick their hands into their slothful deep pockets to fund their class agenda but will forcefully stick their hands into the pockets of America’s Silent Majority – our great Middle Class! The modus operandi of financing their corporate K-Street agenda and this transfer of wealth from America’s middle class to the corporate elitists will be via:

The Public Option does not stand a chance! Not because the American people don’t want it but because of the power of Corporate Lobbyists! Where are the “Tea Baggers” with their pompous slogans of “No Taxation Without Representation”? We Middle Class Americans are being taxed by these corporations to support their self interest against our own class interest (oh dear did I say something wrong here). Where do you think these Corporations get their money to fund their K-Street Operations? They get it from the average American against our will. Health Insurance Companies must either raise their premiums or lower their coverage to finance their K -Street lobbying against the Public Option. See video below.

I thought our nation was founded on the principle of “One Person – One Vote”! Instead we operate on the principle of “One Dollar – One Vote”! Read the rest of this entry »

The issue is not just Universal Health Care nor the increasing use of racist language against our President. The issue is the CLASS WARFARE being waged against the Middle Class by the effete snobs of privilege who want to keep Americans dependant upon them. Yes they do “use” racists but the issue of the rhetoric against President Obama is far more than racism. The issue is the blatant funding by corporations who want to undermine “Individual Freedom” and instead make us subservient to the Corporate Collectives! Without health care as you grow older your “Individualism” is made subservient to the Corporate Collectivists! Just look at how they are financing not only Republicans but blue dog Democrats! Now they want to undermine campaign financing laws. The video below is funny but the message is true!

Corporations are now to be viewed as “persons” with citizenship rights. Well I did not see any of these so called “persons” in the 1960’s reporting to my draft board! Though I did see them report for profits in the war then latter CUT AND RUN with blue collar and white collar jobs to the foreign lands. These “corporation persons” have the loyalty to America of a whore! Yet in this era of “licentious permissiveness”, to use the Nixon era right wing lingo they so proudly whined, where is the sense of “responsibility” to the nation that gave them birth, growth and yes profits?

Yet today the bleeding hearts in the Republican Party and their fellow travellers, the blue dog Democrats, seem to believe that Middle Class Americans should pay for the political agendas of our social betters! Where does the money come from when insurance companies finance their K-Street operations and give contributions to disrupt Town Hall meetings and our democratic processes? They get this money from Middle Class Americans in the form of higher insurance premiums and/or reduced benefits!

Supreme Court Justice Sotomoyer challenged that view as one of her first acts in the Supreme Court. Where are the Tea Party advocates when the Corporations impose on us “Taxation Without Representation”! Make no mistake about it. This is CLASS WARFARE being waged by these effete snobs of privilege against the Middle Class. We need to be like Western Europe that not only has Universal Health Care but follow the Germans with eleven week paid vacations every year! Or Sweden with sixteen week paid leaves for parents after the birth of each child. Oh dear me then we may not be as “productive” to the needs of our social betters! Why must Middle Class Americans subvert their “Individualism” to the “Corporate Collectivists”? Why don’t more Democrats get some testosterone!

As I have said countless times before in this website. I am not against millionaires or billionaires! Hell I want to be one also! Nor am I saying that all wealthy people are greedy! The issue is balance! That is why we need election reform, universal health care and a fair progressive income tax. The time has come for the Silent Majority, America’s great Middle Class, to stand up and take our nation back from these effete snobs of privilege!

Remember when Nancy Pelosi wanted to have use of Air Force jets to fly around the country and she was denied! Yet these effete snobs of corporate America cite “security reasons” for having private corporate jets to fly them, each in separately, while they come begging to Congress! In the video below it is mentioned that listing their flights as a “Security Requirement” gives the CEO’s the right to use it as a “tax deduction”!

While I feel Nancy Pelosi has not been activist enough I believe she has more of right to a private jet for security reasons then these effete snobs of corporate America! For that matter I would accord the same right even to a Republican Speaker of the House. Perhaps “our social betters” don’t see the elected officials of a free society as deserving the same benefits that they have.

President – Elect Barrack Obama mentions the influence that the corporations have on the elected decision makers of our society when they accord members of Congress passage on these private corporate jets. In his book, “The Audacity Of Hope”, Barrack Obama mentions that being accorded the right to fly on a private corporate jet is like living in a different world. The airports are different and the wait is in luxury! You would imagine that a free society would VALUE the time and comfort and most important, the “safety” of an ELECTED decision maker over the Lords of the Corporate Collectives!

This whole fiasco that George Bush and his fellow travelers have brought upon this nation is now helping Middle Class Americans “get in touch with their feelings” to use a phase from my hippie past! We must ask:

• Who the hell are these Lords of the Corporate Collectives to receive such enormous rates of compensation”!
• What did they do for society that justifies such sweeping rates of compensation?
• Why should they be paid so much more than the average American? Hey it’s not like they EARNED IT! (Wow can you believe I said that)!

True we don’t want the government to become involved in the ratio of pay scales. But there comes a point when it is time to check in with reality! That is why the progressive income tax is so important! No one is trying to stop these effete snobs from being millionaires but there has to be some balance for the PRODUCERS in our society! That is to say America’s great Silent Majority – Our Middle Class! Isn’t it amazing that in Europe they still have multi-millionaires and yes billionaires while their societies strive for social responsibility! I am sick and tired of hearing elitist snobs refer to the upper 5% as the “Producers” in our society! The Middle Class is tired of the CLASS WARFARE being waged against it by the effete snobs of Corporate America!

Bush and his fellow travelers have engaged in their Social Engineering Experiments in Iraq, wasting our troops and resources, while the War on Terror goes unfought in Afghanistan! We have seen the wages of Bush’s domestic social engineering experiment with the growing redistribution of wealth from the Middle Class to the top 5%!

The time has come in America to stand up for ECONOMIC PATRIOTISM! Roll back both the Bush and Regan Tax Cuts. Stand up for the Middle Class! Just look at how the consumer, who is now carrying heavier debts and uncertain job future, is holding back from spending in this critical shopping period for corporate America! Do you realize that even with an economic stimulus package in the form of a tax rebate to the Middle Class, much of it will find it’s way to China due to the enormous in balance of trade! Instead of experiencing a domestic “Multiplier Effect” these CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS will now have a stimulus package benefit communist China! These CUT AND RUN CORPORATIONS have spat upon our flag and institutions for to long! They set up phony headquarters on Caribbean Islands and profit from the transfer of American technological know how to China! The consumer is now heavier in debt while predatory mortgage owners and credit card companies have profited! Now they fear a reduction in Christmas spending as it will destroy corporate profits! Bush and his fellow travelers should have thought about that before!

ATLAS IS SHRUGGING!

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!

God can you imagine the Republican reaction if the news media suppressed information about Barrack Obama being associated with an African – American Independence movement? Yet where is the Democratic Party outrage as the news media suppress the connection between Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party! This rabid group of secessionists wants to pluck a star from the flag of our nation! Yet the news media marches like lame little wimps afraid to say anything after they asked poor Sarah Palin a “trick” question. “What is your opinion of the Bush Doctrine”!

The video above gives excerpts of Governor Sarah Palin’s speech to the Alaskan Independence Party that she made THIS YEAR! The video also gives excellent background information.

Many will try to pooh pooh the connection between Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party by stating that the AIP has retracted she was a member! Also her voter registration records confirm this. Well it turns out she was not a formal member but she did attend their meetings and THIS YEAR actually video addressed these rebels from her office as Governor! You can click here and see the full video on the Alaskan Independence Party Website!

Let’s review the facts:

1. She spoke to their convention this year and praised them. God imagine if Barrack Obama did the same for a Black separatist group! Again the video can be found on the Alaskan Independence Party website itself which I will repeat here!
2. While the AIP retracts that she was a formal member none the less on their website (different page than the above) they state that she physically attended their convention in 2006, gave a video speach in 2008 and her husband was a FORMAL member of the Alaskan Independence Party!

Can you imagine if this had been Barrack Obama? Where is the outrage? Where the hell is the news media?

In the video above Keith Olbermann really sticks to Sarah Palin not just for her connection to the Alaskan Independance Party but also for her minister pals. Jack Caferty and Chris Matthews have mentioned her linkage to the AIP. But you hardly hear this talked about compared to the orgy of coverage concerning Ayers and Obama! Maybe Senator Obama doesn’t want to raise the issue as he is leading anyway and the public does not like negative ads. But you would think some Democratic Senator would have the guts to stand up make this public especially since she is clothing herself in the American Flag! Oh yes and $150,000 dollars for her wardrobe! Does the news media need the Democrats to act first! Perhaps this is a contest to see who can be the biggest WIMPS – News Media or leading Democrats!

(George Bush – Our Commander – In Chief! The above video explains his spectacular military record! )

Where the hell is Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on this if Barrack Obama wants to play the high road! But then what can you expect from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid they let Bush go on as Commander – In – Chief when he should be called “Deserter In Chief”! (See the video above)

This Tuesday let’s take our country back from these effete snobs of the Republican Party!

The time has come for the Silent Majority to stand up for America!

VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN!
