What the rich on Wall Street tell the rest of us…
If
you want to feel rich just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
Why is the little guy in America always getting squeezed?
The fact that the majority of households are losing so much wealth in a
time of record-breaking overall wealth demonstrates how systemically corrupt
the economy has become.
Americans lack confidence in the government's ability to protect their
personal safety and economic security, a sign that their widespread unease
about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics, according to the
latest Associated Press-GfK poll.
The bi-annual lying games are currently
taking place where those who still believe there are two political parties are
being misled again from a never-ending stream of special interest funded
advertising.
It has become a never ending scam against
the taxpayer.
I believe the social contract which used
to exist between government, Wall Street and the worker has been broken. It started in the 80s when firms like GE
began to offshore jobs and dump benefits.
As a result, only be a few classes of
workers are doing well: government
workers, who still enjoy nice pensions and health plans, the bankers and
political elite. Perhaps that is why
we’ve seen such a dramatic rise in police brutality – they keep the rest of us
under foot to ensure their place for doing the bidding of the political elite
and its Wall Street masters.
Politics today is a sham and a scam
which favors the wealthy. Take a short
trip back in time to Abe Lincoln’s time. His parents would have been kicked out
of their homemade cabin by local bureaucratic thugs who would fine them for not
being ‘up to code.’ Lincoln couldn’t
afford the billion dollars it requires to run a presidential campaign.
The pioneering spirit which made this
country great has been killed by unelected, blockheaded bureaucrats. Odds are we would not have the light bulb or
the Model T if today’s job-killing bureaucrats had been in charge back
then.
Navigating
Life in the Obama Age
Our government has made everything more
complex, and thus more expensive today.
One would think in the computer age it would be the opposite. Perhaps
the Obamacare site was our first clue as to how screwed up things could get and
how the government shares even our medical data with the IRS and Homeland
Security [my toe nail fungus might put our national security in jeopardy].
Today’s media wouldn’t know a hard
hitting documentary if it bit them on the ass which is why they never ask the
tough questions about how the little guy is getting screwed by the
Washington-Wall Street Cartel.
Corporations used to pay the lion’s share of taxes, but in the 1960s
[thanks to the lucrative trade of buying & selling of politicians] that
changed. Even though many US corporations
became multi-national and crapped on US taxes by moving offshore but continue
to reap the profits from US customers [who continue to lose out because of crap
wages, inflation and stupid lawmakers].
Frankly, I’m tired of watching
grandstanding politicians from either party lying to the public in their
non-stop efforts to remain in power, breaking their arm patting themselves on
their back for their so-called public service.
What’s truly worrisome is how many sheep
continue to swallow this hook, line and sinker.
As Foxworthy and friends like to say ‘You Can’t Fix Stupid’!
During the last 50 years we’ve seen a
downward spiral of our rights, our international reputation, our privacy, our
freedoms and our solvency. Both
parties have had an adverse affect on the little guy and yet we continue to
support them. Complete insanity.
Our
Incompetent-in-Chief
I was astounded that enough Americans
were buffaloed into reelection Obama or as I like to say, just because
everything has changed doesn’t mean anything is different!
His health plan is a nightmare already
for many and costing full time jobs as employers rush to eliminate their
requirement to offer insurance.
While our Tiger Woods wannabe president
hacks up courses around the nation he seems to have forgotten his primary role
was to fix the economy. Despite the
‘feel good’ numbers coming out of Washington, most know the reality is more akin
to the skewed inflation numbers DC spews forth which do not include spikes in
food, fuel, and health care. [See the video clip below].
We need to collectively stop giving
comfort and aid to the enemy of the people. If the income gap continues as it
is, most absolutely agree that we need another revolution – that is why the
federal government is arming all federal agencies from the postal service to
even the Social Security Administration.
They know it wouldn’t take much to put us over the brink of social
chaos.
Just like in the book 1984, we’re in a continual state of
war[more often than not for profit motives] and many Americans have their heads
so deeply buried in the sand that they already resemble the TV program The Walking Dead!
My motto is: We don’t need another election, We need another Revolution!

Early Responses from around the country…
This is a picture of a
class-based society. Every country has its own definition of class. The British
have birth and we have money. Anything can be bought and everything is for
sale, including the courts, the government and the health care system. We indeed
have the best system money can buy…Richard
It
gets worse the more influence the global banking system has in America, Our
companies are now global or globally owned with no allegiance to our nation,
and lots of money to influence our servants who have become PROFESSIONAL
politicians. We aren’t far from a class based society in many areas of …Wilma
Welcome to Michigan
where our Gov.Snyder is talking about the big turnaround. Nonsense....He cut UE
to 20 weeks during 8% UE which cut the amount of fed extensions when they were
available. Cut the heck out of education programs like head start are almost
into nonexistence. Keep the poor ignorant is always a good idea.....Gives huge
tax breaks to his business buddies and we pick up the tab…WhoCares
The income inequality
gap has widened considerably under Obama because of his Federal Reserve
policies were necessary to “fund” Obama’s reckless and morally and fiscally
insane federal spending. We’ve had Quantitative Easing, we’ve had QE2, we’ve
had QE3, and now we’re at “QE Forever.” And these policies have basically
arbitrarily added zeroes to the money supply computers…Frank

Economics
of revolution
Technological evolution has been parasitized by a .01% who cause average
American families to devolve from an economy in the 1950’s and ‘60s where one
adult wage-earner could successfully raise a family and gain wealth, to today’s
economy where over 75% of two adult wage-earners struggle to raise a family and
cannot gain wealth.
Excerpt of the first section from David’s book, The Economics of Revolution, with adaptions of Part 1 here, and Part 2 here:
An extensive analysis of economic conditions and government policy
reveals that the need for significant systemic change is now a mathematical fact. Corruption,
greed and economic inequality have reached a peak tipping point. Due to the
consolidation of wealth, the majority of the population cannot generate enough
income to keep up with the cost of living. In the present economy, under
current government policy, 70% of the population is now sentenced to an
impoverished existence.

and Social Breakdown
"Social breakdown could include riots, strikes, sabotage and other dysfunctions. It is distinct from social protest because disorder involves illegality, violence and property destruction. The disorder could be a reaction to extreme hyperinflation, which would widely and properly be seen as state-sanctioned theft.
"Social disorder could likely be accompanied by bankruptcies, unemployment and slashes to social welfare payments. Citizens will realize their wealth has disappeared into a fog of hacking, manipulation, bail-ins and confiscation. The official response will take the form of neo-fascism, the substitution of state power for liberty. This process is already well advanced in fairly calm times and will accelerate when violence erupts.

Outstanding - every newscaster should read this.
The political elite would like us all to simply remain among the grateful proletariat.
