Why Libertarians hate Teachers and love Donald Sterling

It's for the same reason Libertarians hate the American Middle Class because Libertarianism is a philosophical Rube Goldberg machine created to rationalize Plutocracy and defend Unearned Privilege.

Years ago when Teachers were only able to provide supplemental income to the family (with the exception of the all-male University Professors) there were afforded respect and looked upon as a bedrock institution helping craft American Exceptionalism. But, then Teachers' income increased, granting women economic security while they exerted political pressure through Unionization, while they also began to infiltrate Upper Levels of Academia encroaching upon White Male Privilege.

Teachers became part of the America Middle Class which the 1% hates more than anything else in the world.

The American Middle Class is much too mercurial for the Plutocracy, they don't bow down and worship the Moneyed Masters the way whipped conservatives and libertarians dogs do. The American Middle Class votes for nasty socialist schemes like Old Age insurance and health care for the poor, indigent and sick. These concepts are anathema to the Plutocracy and their Right-Wing slaves.

The Plutocracy began to decry Teachers because they were not molding American minds to be good wage slaves deferential to Power and Privilege. Thus, the Koch Brothers and other One Percenters created the Libertarian Party to train their little libertarian guard dogs, who would dutifully convince others that allowing the Rich to do whatever they want was the right way and would ensure that they themselves were the just upon the cusp of becoming the Masters of the World as long as they stayed in line.

Left-leaning libertarians, apparently exist, but libertarians are overwhelmingly young, white, males who more closely identify with the Tea Party or Republicans.

Reason stole this Image from Grand Theft Auto V

The Donald Sterling Fiasco revealed how much Libertarians see a Plutocrat losing his Privilege as an attack on them.

Libertarians at Reason were more concerned that a hypothetical minority Basketball or Hockey owner (of course meaning black) was going to get away with racist speech while apparently being so obtuse they didn't realize, or more likely didn't care, there is exactly 1 African-American owner in the NBA, Michael Jordan, and none in the NHL.

Additionally, libertarians were incensed that Sterling's precious privacy rights were trampeled upon when his "girlfriend" V. Stiviano, made the surreptitious recordings of him. Why she needs to be arrested for violations of eavesdropping laws! But, since Sterling isn't pressing charges to whom did the libertarians turn to punish V. Stiviano? Why the State.

If Sterling isn't going to press charges then there's no victim and no crime. But, Libertarianism is a cadre of young, white males who are adamant that the only acceptable use of State Power is defending the Rich and Powerful and ensuring their rights are placed above the rest of society.

You see the rest of society steals from the Rich and Powerful using the Power of the State.

Libertarians ascribe all sorts of evils and crimes to the "State". The State has killed Hundreds of Millions they claim, as if people were nothing more than instruments. Personal Responsibility disappears when the State can be blamed. They blame the State for such 'fictions' as pollution,

DissidentRight said... 

The pollution problem has been discussed ad nauseam, and it only becomes a problem when 1) businessmen are prevented from using the "pollution" as an input to some other industrial process and 2) when there's un-owned property upon which to dump it. Solution: 1) deregulate markets (people always find novel uses for industrial leftovers) and 2) assign ownership to everything. Pollution, as usual, is a problem that cannot exist without the State.

If it wasn't for the State the Koch Brothers (ala Hank Reardon) would turn Petcoke into usable fuel and there would be no petcoke pollution problem. And if you unfortunately are poor and happen to be next to the plant which burns petcoke well you and your kids cancer could have been caused by any number of things!!! Just turn over the commons to the Rich and they would be good stewards and would surely never allow or cause any permanent damage to occur.

But, all of their anti-state rigamarole covers their true agenda which is their absolute deference and defense of Power and Privilege.

Libertarians are just another breed of Reactionary Guard Dogs for White Male Power and Privilege. And the saddest thing is, libertarians can not envision a day when they will be treated the same way the Plutocracy treats Women and Minorities.

Veterans, the Post Office, and the Right-Wing's efforts to eliminate both

Veteran's Day.

R. V. Burgin, a famous Marine who fought at Peleliu and Okinawa, joined the US Post Office after the War in The Pacific.

My regular postman is a Veteran. My mother works for the Post Office. Many Veterans have worked and do work for the Post Office after their military careers.

In 2006, the Republican Party hatched a plan to cripple the US Postal Office. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 mandated the agency “pre-pay” into a fund that covers 75 years of health care costs for future retired employees. Under the mandate, the USPS is required to make an annual $5.5 billion payment over ten years.

In 2011, former Congressman Joe Walsh took time out of his busy schedule not paying child support to scream at Melissa Rakestraw, a postal worker and constituent, when she met Joe at a Coffee house to voice her concerns that a 2011 Republican Bill would destroy the Post Office,

"If the Postal Service can't compete in the marketplace," then Congressman Walsh shouted. "I am tired of propping it up!"

Of course, that's not true, the taxpayers are not "propping it up". Since reforms to the Postal Service in 1971, 1982 and 1984 the Post Office is not funded by Taxpayer welfare in contrast to Darrell Issa's lavish pension under the FERS and the free health care Walsh received to "prop" himself up and $350,000 dollars that Joe Walsh earned for his two years of "work" in Congress.

After video of the ignorant puerile Walsh came to light, Rakestraw told interviewers, "[E]arlier I had told him if he supports Darrell Issa‘s bill to reform the Post Office that 200,000 jobs could be lost. 20% of those employees are veterans. Mr. Walsh came up to me and said, ‘I do not care about the loss of public sector jobs.’"

As it specifically relates to the USPS the Plutocracy wants is a Rump Post Office. Lucrative routes will be privitazed (i.e. Manhattan, Hawaii to CONUS) while cost ineffective routes, the South Dakota Bad Lands or the wide open plains of rural Wyoming, will be run by the Post Office.

Issa, Joe Walsh, Peter Roskam and the Republicans goal is the desire of the Plutocracy; to eliminate what the US Post Service offers and represents; a living wage, reliable benefits, and a defined pension, a stable retirement. A chance to create a solid future for oneself and their family. 

The Republican Party are adamantly opposed to the Americans Middle Class and have been working for 35 years to grind them into dust,

"Who does Barack talk about all the time? The middle class. Since when in America do we have classes? Since when in America are people stuck in areas, or defined places called a class? That’s Marxism talk. When Republicans get up and talk about middle class we’re buying into their rhetoric of dividing America. Stop it." Republican Rick Santorum, former Senator and Presidential Candidate.

Getting rid of the Post Office will go along way towards destroying the Middle Class and driving 99% of Americans into Penury and Corporate Bondage.

The Rich Never Had It So Good

Yet they still complain. And about whom do they complain? The Poor who have nothing.

"[W]e're not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people." Paul Ryan.  

"It just keeps getting worse. I am scheduling a vote for next week on the full repeal of #Obamacare." Eric Cantor 

The Republican Party, lapdogs of the Rich are eager to oppress the Poor at every opportunity. The Republicans and their Rich Masters absolutely loathe healthcare for the poor, sick and old. Republican Healthcare is predicated on the Rich sucking every single dollar from you and letting you die quickly after they've drained you of all your money.

But, the Plutocracy won't stop at merely stealing your life savings at the end of your life; they want you to be a pauper before that.

David Simon was on Real Time with Bill Maher last year and stated,

"What we need is a political culture where somebody plants a fuckin’ olive tree, which doesn’t even give you an olive for seven years. That’s how you fix an economy…When that olive tree becomes an orchard."

What Simon doesn't understand is the Republicans in 1980 did plant Olive Trees, except it was a privatized, deregulated, deferred income, out-scoured grove designed to provide Billions of Olives to the very, very rich while they told Us a few olives would trickle down. But, in fact, all we got were the pits.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 15,000 this month an all time high, while at the same time half the jobs in the country pay less than $35,000.

Everything the Republicans do is predicated on expanding Income Inequality. Since, the Republican Recession, the economy's recovery has meant a recovery for the Very Rich.

From 1966 to 2011, the bottom 90 percent of Americans’ average income, as reported on tax returns, went up by $59 showing complete stagnation. If that $59 increase for the majority of Americans equals one inch, then on the same scale, the incomes of those in the top 10 percent went up by 168 feet. The top one percent, 888 feet. The Plutocrats income, the top one percent of the top one percent, rose by almost five miles relative to that one inch.

The Bush Presidency and Tax Cuts were nothing more than the destruction of the Middle Class and an acceleration of the Wealth Transfer Upwards.

According to research published by Emmanuel Saez, Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley:

From 2009 to 2011, average real income per family grew modestly by 1.7% but the gains were very uneven. Top 1% incomes grew by 11.2% while bottom 99% incomes shrunk by 0.4%. Hence, the top 1% captured 121% of the income gains in the first two years of the recovery. From 2009 to 2010, top 1% grew fast and then stagnated from 2010 to 2011. Bottom 99% stagnated both from 2009 to 2010 and from 2010 to 2011. In 2012, top 1% income will likely surge, due to booming stock-prices, as well as re-timing of income to avoid the higher 2013 top tax rates. Bottom 99% will likely grow much more modestly than top 1% incomes from 2011 to 2012.

This is precisely the desired effect of the Republican Crafted and Conservative Inspired Recession. The Rich are prepared to lose money in the short-term knowing that their wholly owned and operated Republican Party will attempt to jam through Austerity Legislation to dismantle the Social Safety Net and designed to permanently solidify the Rigidly enforced Class System we have in this Country.

Every fiscal crisis is an opportunity for the Republican Party and their Right-Wing Stooges to advance the Plutocracy's schemes of deregulation of financial markets, selling off public lands for private exploitation, diminishing the power of Unions and Collective Bargaining and providing Hundreds of Billions in tax payer dollars extorted from the middle and working class as welfare to the Very Rich.

Makers and Takers. Republicans have a jobs plan for 100% Employment. It's called Slavery.

How did the Rich get their Wealth? By stealing the Labor and Wealth of the Poor. You can call it whatever new name the Rich have dreamed up; Austerity, Fix-the-Debt, Sequestration, Trickle Down Economics but it's all the Rich using the Power of Government to steal from the Middle Class and the Poor.

Now, for the past 30 years Republicans have gotten bolder and more outspoken in their plans to help the Rich institute a Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave State under Corporate Dominance.

"I've been dealing with the minimum wage issue for the last 28 years that I've been in elected office," House Speaker John A. Boehner said to reporters on Wednesday. "And when you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it."

John Boehner is a Republican; Republicans work for the Rich. Anything which hampers the ability of the Rich to steal more and more of the labor produced by the American Middle and Working Class is anathema to them. The Rich have ordered the Republicans to Destroy the Middle Class, President Obama had better not help them.

Under President Obama Income Inequality has continued to grow and even accelerated. In the third quarter of 2012, Corporate Profits were $1.75 trillion, up 18.6% from a year ago, after-tax profits are at their greatest percentage of GDP in history. But the record profits come at the same time Workers Wages have fallen to their lowest-ever share of GDP. Pretty Shitty Marxism...

While Corporate Profits are at an all time High, CEOs use the Carried Interest Tax Loophole and Off-Shore Tax Havens to hide Hundreds of Billions of Dollars.

1. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.

• Number of Offshore Tax Havens in 2010? 371. 
• Amount of federal income taxes Bank of America would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $2.5 billion.
• Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2010? Zero. $1.9 billion tax refund.
• Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS in 2010, even though it made $4.4 billion in profits.
• Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? Over $1.3 trillion.

 2. JP Morgan Chase CEO James Dimon

• Number of Offshore Tax Havens in 2010? 83.
• Amount of federal income taxes JP Morgan Chase would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $4.9 billion. 
• JP Morgan Chase has stashed $21.8 billion in offshore tax haven countries to avoid paying income taxes. If this practice was outlawed, it would have paid $4.9 billion in federal income taxes. 
• Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? $416 billion. 

3. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein

• Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2008? Zero. $278 million tax refund.
• Number of offshore tax havens in 2010? 39.
• In 2010, Goldman Sachs operated 39 subsidiaries in offshore tax haven countries.
• Amount of federal income taxes Goldman Sachs would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $3.32 billion.
• Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? $824 billion.
• During the financial crisis, Goldman Sachs received a total of $814 billion in virtually zero interest loans from the Federal Reserve and a $10 billion bailout from the Treasury Department.

 4. General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt

• Number of offshore tax havens? At least 14.
• Amount of federal income taxes General Electric would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $35.7 billion.
• GE has stashed $102 billion in offshore tax haven countries to avoid paying income taxes. If this practice was outlawed, it would have paid $35.7 billion more in federal income taxes.Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2010? Zero. $3.3 billion tax refund. In 2010, not only did General Electric pay no federal income taxes, it received a $3.3 billion tax refund from the IRS, even though it earned over $5 billion in U.S. profits.
• Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve? $16 billion.During the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve provided GE with $16 billion in
• financial assistance, at a time when Jeffrey Immelt was a director of the New York Federal Reserve.
• Jobs Shipped Overseas? At least 25,000 since 2001. 

 5. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam

• Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2010? Zero. $705 million tax refund.
• In 2010, Verizon received a $705 million refund from the IRS despite earning $11.9 billion in pre-tax U.S. profits.
• Amount of federal income taxes Verizon would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $525 million.
• Verizon has stashed $1.5 billion in offshore tax havens to avoid paying U.S. income taxes. Verizon would owe an estimated $525 million in federal income taxes if its use of offshore tax avoidance was eliminated.
• American Jobs Cut in 2010? In 2010, Verizon announced 13,000 job cuts, the third highest corporate layoff total that year.

Beyond Welfare Queens these Moocher Corporations, who use legerdemain and duplicitous book keeping to "make" profits, are Welfare Emperors and Pharaohs.

Thus the Nation's Wealth continues to consolidate in the hands of the Very Rich with the 1% controlling over 40% of Country's Wealth.

The Rich hate America. The "American Dream" isn't their Dream. Their interests never line up with that which concerns the 99%. The Rich don't recognize a need for a Clean Water Act, it's just an impediment to their pursuit of Profits. The Rich don't see a need for Obamacare or Medicaid or Medicare. Those Government Regulations and Officials undercut their attempts to extract as much profit from the sick, dying and old. They don't see Social Security as an asset to aid in retirement but as a pool of unrealized Capital.

Unionized and Pensioned Municipal Workers are a threat as the stability and relative job security take away the Rich's Most Powerful weapon, the layoff and firings.

All Governmental Functions, outside of a Robust Interventionist Military are wasteful or as the Plutocrats Astroturf Organizations deem them, Un-Constitutional (As when the Koch Brothers tried to start a Tea Party Movement in 2002).

But, all of the maneuvers by the Rich are designed to crush the Middle Class. A thriving Middle Class is always a Danger to the 1%. And how do you crush a wide disparate group of people? Why Divide & Conquer.

So, in 2009 the Plutocrats gave explicit instructions that every outlet they control would blame President Obama for everything wrong. And the Rich knew the work they had done with Conservative Think Tanks and Toxic Right-Wing Radio had cultivated a Ready Audience eager to blame the Other, Barack Hussein Obama, for all the Nations' Woes. Or as Bill Maher succinctly summed up the Conservative Message, 'America was just swell until President Blackenstein and his group of Thugs ruined everything.'

Of course, the Plutocracy's Economic Hit Job and their Republican Hit Men have been working for decades using Piss Down Your Back and Tell you It's Raining Trickle Down Theory to undercut the Middle Class and increase Income Inequality.

Sequestration is just another technique to hamper the Government. But, the Government functions which will be hampered aren't those that affect Rich. The Sequester provides the Plutocracy with yet another opportunity to grind the Middle Class into dust. After which the Rich will swoop in like Vultures and pick at the remnants.

But, all of this is just new names and a new twist to the Very Old Dance the Rich and Powerful have engaged in throughout Recorded History. Fix-the-Debt and Austerity are just new names for the techniques the Rich have always used to steal from the People. And that is Slavery.

Hey it's Saturday where's my mail? The Republican Plan to eliminate the USPS

Thank You for all those Cards and Letters - Wun'erful, Wun'erful! The Lemon Sisters, Stan Freberg Comedy Show

The Republican Plan to eliminate the Post Office is proceeding very nicely. The US Postal Service declared they will be stopping mail delivery on Saturdays.

Now, Republicans do want to have a USPS but it would be a rump left to handle the unprofitable deliveries in Outer Wyoming and the Nevada Nuclear Waste Sites.

Incredibly lucrative mail routes, in Manhattan or along the Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago will be just handed over to UPS, FedEx, DHL and other private services. And as is their wont, those Corporations will slowly and surely turn the screws, raise prices and add delivery fees for letters which used to cost a stamp.

Gone will be the days when you could mail a post card from the Big Island to Chicago unless, you're willing to pay $20 USC for the privilege of having your mail carried by FedEx.

Privatize, Deregulate and Cede control to Corporations.

Of course, the Republicans plan is to destroy the Postal Workers Union because of the Unions strength and the solid Middle Class opportunities provided by a job with the USPS. 

Republicans loathe the Middle Class. A Middle Class is a hamper to their political power and proves to fickle for the Plutocracy to control. Republican political maneuvers are directed by their Plutocratic Masters to end the American Dream and bring about a Neo-Feudalist Dream State. As John Nichols of The Nation points out Postal cuts are Austerity on Steroids.

What the Plutocracy wants is a pliant work force with no disposable income. And they aren't disguising their actions, otherwise they wouldn't have run one of the scions, Le Dauphin of Bain Capital W. Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

It's a multi-pronged effort to steal away capital from the Middle and Working Classes. Every Republican tax scheme ends up increasing taxes on the Middle and Working Classes (while decreasing them on the Rich) and slashing government benefits for the American people.

And now by steadily eroding the Post Office (and it's Jobs) and sending that work to cutthroat Capitalists who'll pay less, disband Unions and raise prices the Republicans will cede more and more of your life to Corporate Hegemony.

It's all part of the plan to tie up your meager income so that at the end of the year, you've gained Nothing and are treading water, forever doomed to an endless life of labor, while the Upper 1% see their wealth spiral exponentially higher and higher.

Update:

A working mom could work overtime this month and use it as time off next month without having to worry about whether she’ll be able to take home enough money to pay the rent. 

- Republican Eric Cantor explains to the American Enterprise Institute on 02/05/13 how to get Working Class people to vote for their subjugation to the Republican Neo-Feudalist state. Additionally, there's a nice undercurrent of "the Nightmare" of the last couple of years that President Obama and his *cough* black *cough* Thugs have just ruined America!

Lying Tax Cheat Mitt Romney's Plan will Raise Taxes on 19 out of every 20 Americans

Can you guess which 1 in 20 Americans gets a Tax Break? Yes America, Mitt Romney will raise your taxes and lower his own. From the Tax Policy Center Urban Institute and Brookings Institution August 1, 2012 Report,

However, on average, after-tax income for taxpayers earning less than $200,000 would need to decrease by 1.2 percent, an effective tax increase of $500 per household.

95% of Americans, those who earn $200,000 or less, will see their taxes go up under the Romney Plan, but those Americans earning $1,000,000 or more (like R-Money himself) will see an average tax break of $87,117.

Mitt Romney wants to steal from the Poor to Give to Himself and his Plutocratic Brethren, "I pay all the taxes that are legally required and not a dollar more.” Hey when you are engaged in Class Warfare and trying to grind down the middle class into Wage Slavery you make your system of oppression "legal".

"I’d think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires."

Ah... Mitt Romney has taken advantage of 30 years of Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Trickle Down Economics. But, when Mitt or Ann Romney says people they mean the Rich 1% with whom they assoicate not "you people".

“We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life,” Ann Romney.

The Whole Republican Party and Pro-Business Democrats have engaged in the business of making the Reverse Robin Hood Theft and Transfer of Wealth from the 99% up to the 1% "legal".

"I don't pay more than are legally due," Mitt Romney has often said.

It's a telling statement. When criminals are confronted with their crimes, they often resort to answering questions in an exactness which belies that they've committed a crime, but want to convince you they didn't.

“Was there ever any year when you paid lower than 13.9 percent?” David Muir of ABC News asked Romney.

“I’m happy to go back and look but my view is I’ve paid all the taxes required by law. From time to time I’ve been audited...” Mitt Romney’s campaign has said he’s never been audited.

WTF? Romney has to go back and look to know what he's paid? Is this answer designed to make Americans believe Romney has so much money he doesn't know what he's paid? Or does it reveal that Romney's secret off-shoring, Roth IRA legerdemain, and all-around tax paying shenanigans indicate he's probably paid ZERO in taxes for 10 years as Senator Harry Reid contends a high level Bain Executive told him?

But, don't worry America, the Stock Markets are going up NOW because in a 100 days Mitt Romney will be elected President. So make sure to check those stock options, everyone! You do have a diverse stock portfolio, right???

Fast & Furious Conservatives are trying to Break the Nation with Obama Fatigue Syndrome

The recent Contempt of Congress vote for Attorney General Eric Holder is just the beginning. Vicious right-wingers are going to cause the Nation so much stress and consternation to make Americans just throw up their hands and vote for Romney to end the constant right-wing screeching.

Darrell Issa's committee and the months long hearings on Fast & Furious fall under the auspices of 'Where there's smoke there's fire' in attempting to convince Americans that all the fake pout rages by conservatives and hours upon hours of hearings and Faux News coverage indicate some vast, far-reaching conspiracy.

Now, Fast & Furious, Operation: Wide Receiver, and Gunwalking Stings have always struck me as wrongheaded and foolish. I don't subscribe to giving weaponry to "bad guys" in attempt to catch them doing bad things.

But, those type of Operations were very vogue amongst the Bush White House and his Chief Torturers John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales.

Those Operations allowed the Terra-wrist Fightin' Cowboy Bush to amble his way into a press conference and announce he foiled 13 Terrorist Plots this month and 6 terrorist plots that month...

Republicans like Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma even took to the Senate Floor to praise George W(orst President Ever) Bush for keeping America safe, except for that whole 9/11 thingie...

Nowadays, things are different, chief amongst the differences is the anti-America, Kenyan, Marxist, secret muslim, "monkey president" occupying the White House. Thus, everything that came before can be ignored in the #1 Goal of Republicans and Conservatives everywhere making America fail in order to regain the levers of Control.

Now, good right-wing propaganda involves utter falsehoods and complete lies, but Great Right-Wing propaganda has a kernel of impropriety attached to it. Conservatives have already allowed themselves to be convinced this whole incident is far worse than Watergate. But, when President Obama invoked Executive Privilege, well, while most right-wingers were convinced President Obama should have been impeached the day he took office, this whole debacle is "proof" the Department of Justice, AG Eric Holder and by extension President Obama are involved in "impeachable" offenses.

This entire spectacle is nothing more than an attempt to so stress, confuse, infuriate, exasperate and torture the American people that they will willingly concede and accept the chains of Slavery, Mitt Romney and the Republican Party have guaranteed they will shackle upon 99% of the American people.

Why haven't the historically low tax rates not created millions of jobs?

Sending Jobs Overseas helps the U.S. - Bush Economic Council: "Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade," said N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, which prepared the report. Last year's Economic Report of the President predicted that 1.7 million jobs would be created in 2003. Instead, the nation lost 53,000 jobs. In Bush's three years in office, 2.2 million jobs have disappeared.

It's been 10 years since taxes were slashed and the 'Job Creators' still aren't creating jobs. Why?

Hey, middle class conservative. See that conclusion?
That's your taxes going UP while Mitt Romney's go DOWN

Because the reason Republicans cut taxes on the Wealthy was to crush the Middle Class and create the Neo-Feudalist State we are living in today. Income Inequality and the concentration of Wealth amongst the Richest 1% are at their worst levels in American History.

While, it's already been proven that Senator Mitch McConnell is a paid Guard Dog for the Plutocracy he apparently feels no compunction in showing he is so out-of-touch with what 99% of Americans are dealing with during this Republican Recession.

First Mitch expressed his anger at how the Poor have it so good and repeated the oft-quoted and refuted Republican lie about taxes, "Between 45 percent and 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax at all."

Then Mitch bowed to his Plutocratic Overlords and assured them what Republicans and President Mitt Romney will do is slash any Government program which aids the poor or Middle Class, "The issue of revenue, from our point of view, is tied to serious entitlement reform."

And President Mitt Romney has explicitly stated he will not only keep the current stratification going but will accelerate it. Mitt Romney's tax plan and the Paul Ryan Death to the Middle Class Budget are designed with the goal of making devastating cuts to Federal Programs designed to aid the poor and struggling Americans, while shifting those American Tax Dollars into the off-shore bank accounts of the Rich.

It's all out there to see, America. The Republican Party is telling you, now quite clearly, that they will cut your legs out from under you in service to the Rich.

And they know that if like colicky babies, they bitch, moan, pout and shout loud enough and long enough about President Obama enough Americans will give into their Temper Tantrum and allow themselves to give away their freedom for Corporate Bondage.

Federal Pay Freeze

I call that a bargain
The best I ever had - Bargain, The Who

I'm on board President Obama with a 2 year Federal Government pay freeze if the tax rate on the Rich goes back to the pre-Bush rates followed by an increase above that rate and Corporate Tax loop holes, which allow Exxon-Mobil and General Electric to get away with paying no US income tax, are filled. Despite the lies of Republican bureaucrats, Federal Employees are not lazy and overpaid but are hard working Middle Class people. And the House is gearing up to vote on continuing the specific tax break on the middle class and the less well off.

"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Warren Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it."

But, Republicans being natural liars and scum are opposed to any Tax changes or benefits which aid the majority of Americans. Republicans care only for their Feudal Lords, the Plutocrats. Republicans want the tax burden of running America to fall squarely on the Middle Class and Poor because they know profligate Republicans spending for War Profiteers coupled with bailouts for Wall Street Racketeers and apologies to BigOil polluters will grind 280 million americans into serfdom and poverty from whence they can be easily ruled and worked to death.

Election Game Plan

RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!! - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The Republican Game Plan for the 2010 elections is to simply run away and hide from all interviews and dodge reporters. It's understandable when a reporter actually confronts them on their ridiculous assertions, untenable ideologies and blatant conservative lies, misrepresentations and smears Republican candidates look foolish, ignorant or dangerous.



And this isn't limited to colossal dunderheads like Jan Brewer, Rand Paul, Sharron Angle and Michele Bachmann.

So the immediate question is if you can't stand up to Katie Couric and the Lame Stream Media how are you going to defeat Al Qaeda?

Republicans have no plan to govern the Nation. None. For the next two years Republicans are going to conduct investigations of President Obama asking him if he now is or has ever been a communist while they purposefully undercut and ignore any Governmental body which would hamper the Republican Plutocratic Corporate Controllers efforts to murder American workers, despoil the environment, and transfer billions to offshore and Swiss bank accounts. After 2 years of allowing Americans to suffer they then hope to Ride the Wave of Government Doesn't Work and the Free Market does Everything Better into full power in 2012.

Republicans then will continue their Plutocratic Tea Baggers plans by stealing social security, eliminating "Obamacare" and then Medicare, increasing the retirement age to 70 or beyond while pitting the worse off worker against the slightly better off one in order to enslave and shackle the American People as Cogs in the machines of Industry and War, paid little, with no benefits, no health coverage and no retirement.

Republicans want you to work hard in the flower of your Youth and then Die Quickly when you've gotten old or injured. (See Republican former Senator Alan Simpson and George W. Bush Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness David S. Chu bemoaning injured Veterans getting Health Care.)

And the ultimate goal of the Koch Brothers and the other Plutocratic Assholes who give Billions to the Republicans, is an American Feudal Despotic Oligarchy where the Poor are reduced to destitute serfs and the Middle Class are Poor.

He's a Liar. A Mark Kirk press conference goes thusly, "Lie, lie, lie, war hero lie, lie, lie, lie, child care lie, lie, lie, lie, war hero lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, teaching lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, BIG FINISH... LIE."

After the most egregious repeated lying about his Military service Kirk's latest apparent imbroglio concerns a story of Kirk almost drowning in Lake Michigan 34 years ago after his boat capsized. Kirk as a classic Republican must embellish and lie about the incident, he can't help himself he's a Republican and therefore a Liar.

But, while Mark Kirk, the Stolen Valor Champion uses classic Republican aesthetics Sharron Angle is a beyond Dada post modern Artist! She has deconstructed the No Comment Interview into it's base components by immediately tucking tail, taking no questions and running away.

The next two years are going to be hellish for the American People; Republicans have clearly stated their goals and intentions upon regaining power; The destruction of Social Security, the elimination of basic healthcare for the poor, the theft and transfer of billions to UBS and Cayman Accounts, the despoliation of the environment, the ramping up of Off-Shore and ANWR Drilling, the expansion of Overseas Wars and murder of American Servicemen, the lynching and murder of President Obama and the utter destruction of the Middle Class and reduction of the American People to Penury and Wage Slavery.

Republican Jokers

And now comes the part where I, relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your frail and useless lives. ~ BP Republican Joe Barton*

Joe Barton was right, he doesn't want to live in a country where a corporation that does something legitimately wrong are punished for it*. Republicans believe laws, responsibility for one's actions and repercussions are for the "little people" and they want to ensure Main Street Americans remain impoverished and enslaved.

Republicans at the behest of their Corporate Kleptocratic Masters have employed a Three-Pronged attack on American Labor and the Middle Class for the last 30 years.

By dismantling the industrial base of the Nation and lowering Tariffs the American Manufacturing sector was eliminated as jobs were shipped to Indonesia and other sweat shop countries where labor laws could be violated and "costs" (i.e. money to workers) could be keep down to one notch above complete slavery.

During this time an old tactic was revved up as more and more first generation immigrants came into the country to undercut and further depress wages of Americans born here while taking over segments of the labor market (landscaping, construction, carpentry, cooking, plumbing for instance) because the immigrant workers will work 14 hours with no benefits.

The other tactic which has served Punk Ass Bitch Republicans for decades is to play off the Middle Class and Poor against one another. Republicans reduce taxes on the wealthy and increase them on the Middle and Working Classes, thereby shifting the burden of aiding the poor onto those just above that poverty line. Republicans then go to those Middle Class people and blame their struggles and budget deficits on the poor and unemployed. To that end Republicans "defeated" the Jobs Bill in the Senate 41-57 by hyping up fears of abuse of unemployment benefits in the bill. The Republicans always blame the Poor and unemployed for every ill in America.

Republicans and the Oil-Soaked, Coal-Mining, Bank-Owning Kleptocrats they serve want to destroy the Middle Class so they can re-exert their control on the Political Power of America.

It has been the blood, sweat and tears of Labor and the Liberals push to expand the franchise and that smidgen of voting power in the hands of the formerly oppressed which has created the American Middle Class and caused the American 20th Century, the greatest expansion and flowering of creation, thought and freedom since the Renaissance.

Ultimately, the goal for The Plutocratic Class is to eliminate the Middle Class and force 95% of the American Workers to compete with a pool of worldwide virtual slave labor. Republican Henchmen act as the defenders and police for their Masters as they strive to return America to a state of Kleptocratic Feudalism.

High court reins in prosecutors' use of fraud law [Washington Post]

The Supreme Court on Thursday sharply curtailed prosecutors' use of an anti-fraud law that was central in convicting politicians and corporate executives in many of the nation's most prominent corruption cases.

What this means is if you're willing to commit fraud do it on a colossal corporate scale because the SCOTUS knows you're a Republican and will ensure you get away with it because crime = IOKIYAR.
