Middle Class Populist

The elitists of Wall Street have off shored American jobs while whining about their “entitlement” of productivity from America’s middle class! Their thesis is that we the members of the middle class should work for the same compensation as those in India and China. Naturally these effete snobs of privilege feel they are entitled to the production costs of Third World Nations but that they should reap the benefits of American retail prices for their goods and services! In the last election they called Barrack Obama an “elitist” yet they have turned our economy into a gambling casino and they feel they have an “Entitlement” to do so! The time has come to levy a gambling tax on their operation! We need to break up the big banks. See the video below.

This is not a criticism of stock investors making a profit. When they take a risk to add to the wealth and the gainful employment of the nation they should receive a reward! But this is a brave new world of Corporate Collectivism!

Let me now use the terminology of Conservatives during the Nixon era to examine our current situation!

We live in an era of licentious permissiveness! The parasites of this society feel they are “entitled” to have the Silent Majority of America, our great Middle Class, pick up the tab for their NON-PRODUCTIVE lifestyle of degradation while Middle Class Americans just strive to earn a decent living! We see these effete snobs of privilege renounce their allegiance to the society and nation that gave them birth, succor, protection and yes profits!

• They put aside their allegiance to America and ship our jobs (both blue and white collar) to foreign lands that are frequently are enemies!
• They place their corporate head quarters on foreign soil while trying to profit on American soil!
• They ship our technology and even sell military technology to our enemies for a profit!
• They frequenly self define themselves as “multinational” rather than “American” corporations!
• They call themselves the “producers” while their fellow travelers, Republican politicians, berate liberals as “eltitists”!

If you believe my “lingo” was to harsh above let me remind you that I am merely speaking “Republican”! I simply used their double speak but with a different agenda! They play the game of “patriotism” then sell our military technology abroad! The Middle Class in this nation has had enough of their mantra!

“Privtetization of profits and socialization of risks!” Oh yes Republicans have a term for that! They call it “FREEDOM”! That is to say their freedom to take away our jobs and economic security!

Every day young middle class college grads have to go to job interviews and purport to read the stock holders report of the company they are interviewing for. (I used to work in the recruiting department of AIG!) We are supposed to read this report like all our lives we wanted to “work” for and subvert our individual will to this “CORPORATE COLLECTIVE!” The job interview is where we profess fidelity to our feudal lord!

We who work are supposed to profess loyalty to the Corporate Collective while the investor has the loyalty of a whore to the employee! Hell they even switch their allegiance at the mere click of a stock ticker, sometimes even daily! The investor hops from corporate bed to bed at the mere whim that it is not in their best interest! The employee however is to pledge their loyalty yet the employee can be laid off on a whim! The Corporate elites then draw ridiculous compensations! They consider it to be an “entitlement” regardless of the economy!

As I mentioned in prior posts, we need a calendar to show the average employee on what day of the new year his compensation would equal the executives compensation of the first day of the year! Many would be working into the next year before they would see that day! Oh yes this is what Republicans call “FREEDOM!”! I know I worked for AIG and they screw people out of their pensions!

Since the elitists have chosen to make Wall Street a gambling casino we need to tax their bed hopping behaviors! Sure most middle class Americans own some form of stock. Even if you don’t you may still have a pension and that relies on stocks! No one is trying to hurt stock holders!

But the illusion of those who make millions a year and actually think they are “entitled” to it must meet the reality of a strong progressive income tax! It is just reality’s way of saying “hello”!
