My fellow Americans, tax breaks won’t help us anymore. What we need going forward to survive is a pay raise due to the number of people we have to illegally support.
As you probably know, America’s wealth and money is unfairly controlled by a very small portion of the population. To reverse this maybe we need to start over?
Here are some latest observations along with a recap of plans the evil doers have for us.
A government, which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always depend on the support of Paul.
– George Bernard Shaw
Leo Geraod of the United Steelworkers is right when he described this current hold up robbery of the middle class “as they hold a gun to Americas head and said give us what’s left of your benefits, give us what’s left of your income, give us what’s left of your future stability or else we’re going to bankrupt what’s left of this country. That’s exactly the threats airline people have gotten for the last 30 years, in exactly those words.
What caused the deficit in the first place?
1. Globalization with NAFTA, GAT, WTO, etc.
2. Two wars still going on.
3. 30million people unemployed and most people are underpaid defined by the cost of living.
4. 60% of Canadians are living payday to payday.
5. 40 million Americans are on food stamps.
6. 40 thousand factories closed during the Bush years because of Clintons NAFTA.
7. 8 million industrial workers who have lost their jobs.
8. Thousands of airline employees who cannot live on the meager underpayment of wages; many who are living on fixed incomes because the airline bosses refuse to increase their COLA while giving themselves lavish bonuses and raises. This has caused divorce, loss of homes and even suicide.
Now we get from the people who pay little or no taxes certainly not their share want multi national companies to be able to come to the United States and never pay taxes, just put the costs on the backs of Americans. The word for this is national suicide. We are in a war against lying thieving bastards. These actions of theft and greed are of biblical per portions.
For proof read James chapter 5 verses 1-6:
1. Come now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2. Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3. Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth; and the cries of them who have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
5. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
They were keeping back wages that belonged to the poor. As it is today, the rich often have the advantage in the courts. The rich could condemn and kill the righteous or just and the righteous or just would not oppose them. That might be because the righteous had no way of fighting back. The odds were stacked against them. James says that the cries of those who have been oppressed are heard by the Lord of sabaoth, the Lord of hosts. God will be their judge. And who do we have to lead us against this vermin? Mr. President and his Wall Street Democrats… God help us.
“The way to crush the bourgeoisie [middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” ~Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Some stats on the deal negotiated by Obama’s tax break deal:
Whoa what were those last two? Giant hog give away debt creation on the backs of the middle class to be given to the brat class? That’s $325 BILLION more than all the rest of the list combined! $815 billion for the lucky sperm club, now the Republicans say we have that kind of money well I have a better idea.
Instead of pissing away the rest of our national credit and money and since there is plenty of money (so they say) for the crap stated above then there is plenty of money to offer 1 million dollars to every working person over the age of 55 if they agree to retire. All debt including mortgage debt will be paid as well. This will allow young people to enter the job market and fill those jobs; we can start with those on unemployment under 55.

Here are just more of the latest plans from the government that has given to the rich everything they want and is taking everything you have. These are the only ideas this bunch can possibly come up with to serve the people of our nation?
Gee not a word about having rich brats paying taxes on their income that they have never worked for, Paris Hilton and the like. Not a word about bringing back a sound financial industry along with prosecuting the criminals controlling Wall Street. Not a word about breaking up too big to fail zombie banks. When was the last time a zombie did you any good? Not a word about nationalizing the FRB. Not a word about getting out of the financial drain of war. Not a word about getting out of suicidal trade agreements and bringing home our good paying jobs.
Oh but that would start a trade war with China. Fine we tell China by bringing home our jobs our debt to them will be paid. How about a brat tax for every million dollars given to a rich brat kid let them keep $550,000 the rest could go to oh let’s say the social security trust fund for a start; and while we’re on social security let’s put a lock box on it to keep the Congress from getting at our funds. These are just a few ways to fix the problems created by the other side there is much more we can do.
In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more, is a congress ~ John Adams
As a result of suicidal trade agreements such as NAFTA, etc. 47,000 factories moved offshore just during the Bush administration.
There is an agency of the U.S. government called OPIC (Overseas Private Investment Corporation). Here is a quote from their website. OPIC is an independent U.S. government agency whose mission is to mobilize and facilitate the participation of U. S. private capital and skills in the economic and social development of less developed countries and areas, and countries in transition from nonmarket to market economies.
OPIC assists U.S. companies by providing financing (from large structured finance to small business loans), political risk insurance, and investment funds. OPIC complements the private sector in managing risks associated with foreign direct investment and supports U.S. foreign policy. OPIC was established as an agency of the U.S. government in 1971 and currently does business in over 150 countries.
Let me explain what that means in the real world. Your tax dollars are being used to ship your job offshore. In the 1990’s they had an ad in the newspaper with a picture of a woman working at a sewing machine station, the caption read as I can remember, “This is Rosa Martinez she works for 50cents an hour and she will work for you.” This agency at that time would also insure any company outsourcing American jobs with a guarantee of $60,000 paid to the business owner per employee if the move didn’t work out. No insurance for risk if the business stays in the U.S. though.
They will also set up businesses with financing for the purpose of destroying American families. Oh they don’t say that in so many words on the site but that is nevertheless the end game for the American worker. How’s that taxation and representation thing working out for you now? It’s obvious who this government agency is representing. I guess this is one reason the politicians need you to pay taxes, and remember taxes are only for you to pay the I’ve Got Mine Club is excluded after all they’re offshore.
The minimum wage (and multiples thereof) is the baseline for which all other salaries are based. Production Laborers have been the victims of a 20 year wage fixing/racketeering scam only getting a 6% increase in purchasing power while corporate profit margins increased by 140% from 1990 to 2005. From July to November 2010 corporate profits were $1.66 Trillion! How is your paycheck keeping pace with that if you have one? In Denmark the minimum wage is $18/hour. The labor department stated the 1962 minimum wage paid today is $24/hour. Our labor is a commodity that we sell to employers in return they cheat and deflate wages by illegal and immoral means. Doing that to a company is racketeering; doing it to laborers is BUSINESS AS USUAL.
These days there are a lot of misinterpretations of the Constitution. You see it even in the Supreme Court with the Citizens United ruling and the ruling several years ago that gave Wal-Mart eminent domain to tear down houses to build a store. The reason given was the public uses Wal-Mart property. That reason has nothing to do with eminent domain because Wal-Mart is not part of the commons owned and bought by the people.
As to the Tea Party Webster Griffin Tarpley noticed something concerning the enumerated powers stated in the Constitution. I first took notice of this during the tax protest movement of the 1990’s. I agree with his observation.
In the Tea Party and elsewhere there is this idea going around about the enumerated powers and since as Webster points out the Obama group has a contempt for the Constitution its then up to those like him to point this out.
Their line goes something like this that most of the things the Federal Government does is unconstitutional because it is outside the scope of the enumerated powers.
Something important to note here Webster caught it that there was no complaint under Bush this misuse when it was a question of civil liberties, dictatorships or foreign wars but now it does as it pertains to economic depression and how the average man is systematically being stripped of his wealth. Their doctrine goes something like this that if it is not stated in the enumerated powers the government can’t do it period. Well let’s look at the Constitution.
Article I Section 8 of the Constitution has the enumerated powers which are 17 things Congress has the power to do. The enumerated club or theory says that’s all Congress is able to do. Anything that’s not included on that list is unconstitutional and prohibited. It is imperative to understand that is never the way the Constitution has been interpreted nor was its intent. You see after those 17 paragraphs that say what the Congress shall have the power to do there is the 18th paragraph which we call the elastic clause which is the most sweeping clause of all the powers clauses. The clause reads: “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.”
Well what could be those other powers be? The answer to that is contained within the preamble which states the purpose of the Federal Government including the “more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The founding fathers realized they could not encompass everything or every situation that would come up in the future; situations or circumstances that the 17 clauses or enumerated powers could not cover. They wrote the 18th to include any remedy necessary to preserve what is stated in the preamble and is therefore open-ended.
Most people are unaware of this even those in the Tea Party who proclaim the Constitution; their ignorance of the Constitution is quite appalling. Now because of that what we are seeing is a radical attitude that according to Tarpley and I agree is to impose an interpretation of the Constitution which is pre-civil rights era, pre-New Deal, pre-Populist era, pre-Civil War and actually pre-Jeffersonian. It’s a view of the Constitution as it never functioned. For example Jefferson was a true believer in the enumerated powers theory. As I was taught in school years ago Jefferson broke with the enumerated powers section of the Constitution to make the Louisiana Purchase from the French. This was a once in a lifetime chance so Jefferson ignored those 17 and went with the 18th clause to close the deal. The 18th clause comes under inherent powers.
The United States is a sovereign nation and so needs flexibility capable to fulfill its needs or it is not a sovereign state. Without the 18th clause the country would not be able to get out of depression and would guarantee dictatorship and war. For example we need a recovery program but the crackpot fringe screams that’s not part of the enumerated powers. Well the response is that’s an inherent power as the government needs the power to insure the economic life for the country. The war on the middle class is just that in question today; that question being how will the economic life of the country be maintained, either a thriving middle class or slavery through and propagated by an oligarchy? This is what the general welfare clause and other clauses are all about and contained therein.
Let us move to the implied powers. This is where Alexander Hamilton is very strong. It is Hamilton’s Industrial policy under the authority of the implied powers that gave the American middle class the right to exist and protections over other societies and nations; to be protected from job extraction to China and India or invasion from illegal aliens that will debase pay scales and benefits at home.
Unlike Jefferson Hamilton and Washington endorsed a bank of the United States as long as it was part of the government controlled by the Treasury not a private bank which the bankers always fought to get as they wanted and now have complete money power but that’s another story.
In conclusion, to invoke the enumerated powers theory is to deny the Washington and Jefferson administrations. It is to throw out the policies and protections that create a successful middle class and force the fortunate few to pay their fair share. To create those things that would attempt to equalize the money power. Wall St. and the rich are using their money power against the middle class to destroy it in order to feed their greed and bring us back to the society of Charles Dickens. They like to believe and promote a United States history that never was, an anti historical utopian fantasy suitable for people who have absolutely no idea of what their thinking as Tarpley would say. There was never a time when they operated with enumerated powers.
John Marshall Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 1801-1835 a real patriot addressed this very subject when he wrote his opinion that says, “Let the end be legitimate. Let it be within the scope of the Constitution and all means which are appropriate which are plainly adapted to that end and which are not prohibited but are consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution are constitutional.” He also adds the Constitution is not a creature of the state. Nullification and such schemes was thrown out by Marshall in 1819 not to mention what happened between 1861-1865 a little matter called the Civil War.
All this denial of American history comes from a far lunatic outer space fringe that harkens back to the foreign doctrine of the Austrian school propagated by the Von Hayek, feudal autocrats, petty noblemen from old washed up empires to quote Tarpley. Beware of those who would throw out American history as it really was.
These people represented by the Republican Party and their Democratic allies are not conservatives they’re right wing radicals who are at war with true history and those who fought to gain an equal footing with the fortunate few in order to create for the middle class a deserved paycheck compatible with the cost of living along with a comfortable retirement.
Those for advancement of the American condition who were on the side of implied powers were such men as:
· Alexander Hamilton
· John Marshall
· George Washington
· Andrew Jackson
· Abraham Lincoln
· Theodore Roosevelt
· Franklin Roosevelt
· Harry Truman
· Eisenhower
· John Kennedy
· Even Thomas Jefferson when circumstances called for implied power through the elastic clause of paragraph 18.
How extraordinary it is to see those like half truth Limbaugh and Glen Beck have opinions about this as Beck comes up with incredible outlandish distortions of history. For example he had a program in which he attempted to rehabilitate Calvin Coolidge; can you believe it of all people?
