The SCOTUS McCutcheon Ruling empowers the Koch Brothers and Plutocracy to Buy the Republic

"These five justices are working night and day to make the wealthy and powerful more wealthy and more powerful. The Supreme Court is paving the way toward an oligarchic form of society in which a handful of billionaires like the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson will control our political process." Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
The Supreme Court took another step in transforming the United States of America into a Neo-Feudal Oligarchy with the McCutcheon Ruling. The Roberts Court in a 5-4 ruling decided Elections can bought outright and cheaply, as they slowly build towards 2016: The Year the Plutocracy Rules.

As the Power of the Plutocrats has grown in the last 35 years of Neoliberal Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity Reaganomics, the 1% has grown more vocal. While most of their nefarious schemes remain hidden from the public via PACs and phony 501(c)(4) organizations they've felt more and more comfortable telling the 99% to look forward to Wage Slavery.

Just a day after Paul Ryan revealed the latest Republican Death to the Poor Budget, Charles Koch wrote an op-ed to explain his worldview. Of course, Charles Koch sees the problem as the plebeians daring to criticize him, Rather than try to understand my vision for a free society...

As always Mister Koch, we do understand "your vision for a free society" which is why Our Voices are getting louder and louder and why Plutocrats, such as yourself, are getting shriller and shriller.

Charles Koch and his despicable brethren know their Oppression is intolerable and making the 99% desperate, so the Plutocrats tell their Media Lap Dogs that Opposing the Will of Plutocracy equals Kristallnacht and then call those whom they Oppress, Nazis.

Peppered with language swiped from his father's John Birch Anti-Commie screeds, Charles Koch goes on to decry "Collectivists" and blame "The System", while invoking Arthur Schopenhauer and Saul Alinsky.

Of course, Charles Koch blames it all on Obama, The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you. This is the essence of big government and collectivism.

Like, all scoundrels, Charles Koch swaddles himself in the Bosom of America. Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of liberty is the American ideal.

This screed is the supersonic whine of a rich entitled plutocrat. What Charles Koch means by Liberty is the Freedom for him to rule a Section of the Nation as his own little Fiefdom as a Landgrave, accountable to no one who, along with his fellow Plutocrats, chooses the Government and ensures those chosen do nothing but, enforce the Will of the Rich.

Medicare? Don't need it. Social Security? Not necessary. Food Stamps? Collectivism! To Charles Koch and his ilk, Government exists only to quell domestic dissent and expand overseas business opportunities; everything else is "Unconstitutional". Charles Koch desires nothing less than a return to brutal Feudalism.

Now, Plutocrats however can't rule without a Guardian Class, empowered to attack the Enemies of Inequality and the Opponents of the 1%; Enter the Republican Party.

The Sole Purpose of the Republican Party is to ensure the 1% get Richer while the rest of us are ground into perpetual Wage Slavery and unending Corporate Bondage.

The day after Koch's Declaration of Neo-Feudalism, Republican Senator Jerry Moran took to the floor of the US Senate to genuflect before Charles Koch and read his op-ed into the Congressional Record.
"It seems to me the things that are outlined in Mr. Koch’s opinion piece are certainly within the wide mainstream of American thought..." and " I wanted to share one of Koch Industries owner’s beliefs about those values and his philosophy and how it affects Americans today,"
During CPAC 2014 in March, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann thanked god for David Koch and declared RICO laws should be used against those who speak out against the Koch Brothers,
"I just thank god that there’s a billionaire or two on our side. I hope we get a few more that are willing that come out but realize also this is an intimidation movement, I’m sure that the donors on our side don’t like to have their names vilified and that’s what this is about, intimidating people from giving money to our cause, that’s it. There’s something called the RICO statute, the racketeering law, that should be applied against them for doing this."
Meanwhile, other Republicans are engaged in a slander campaign of Senator Harry Reid. Not debating his viewpoint but insinuating that he has suffered a mental breakdown or is drunk or on drugs.

Republicans exist to guard and increase the Vast Wealth of the Rich at the expense of everyone else.

The odious Newt Gingrich, a viciously racist miserable political failure famous only for cheating on two wives while trying to impeach President Clinton for cheating on one, took to the Sunday Morning talk Circuit to bask in the beauty of the McCutcheon Ruling. Gingrich went further and declared,
"Candidates should be allowed to take unlimited amounts of money from anybody and you would overnight equalize the middle class and the rich."
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread. Anatole France, 1894. Sheldon Adelson can give a million dollars to Gingrich or Christ Christie and so can you!

Meanwhile, Republicans have adopted the Kochtopus approach of attacking the Working Class on multiple fronts to crush the 99% and enforce brutal Koch Feudalism. Republicans want to give Companies time to delay Union vote because Republicans use the Awesome Power of the Government to aid the Rich in crushing Labor.
Republican Congressman John Kline of Minnesota and Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee introduced legislation requiring the NLRB let 35 days pass after employees file a petition before they are allowed to vote on forming a union. 
Because Companies might need extra time to threaten workers against Unionizing, bring in Armed Forces to ensure the proper votes are cast and give Republicans time to interfere in the Free Market as Senator Bob Corker, Tennessee Governor Haslam and State Republicans did against workers trying unionize a VW factory.

Republicans don't care about the American People. They are solely in office to succor, defend and protect the Plutocracy. Medicaid eliminated, Medicare eviscerated, Social Security Swindled, Unions abolished, The Working Class impoverished, higher education made unaffordable, laws applied unequally, Plutocrats buying elections, Corporations telling you what you can spend your earnings on and what you can do with your free time, these are ancillary benefits of the Brutal Koch Feudalism, Republicans are pushing upon the Nation.

Charles Koch used a quote from Thomas Jefferson so shall I,
"I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it’s birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and to bid defiance to the laws of their country." Jefferson to George Logan Nov. 12, 1816.
Money is not Speech and Corporations are not People. MovetoAmend!

The Visions of Newtradamus and the Romneyan Brain-Washing Maneuver

In the Vision of Newtradamus and with the help of the Romneyan Brain-Washing Maneuver, some people are worth more than other people.

Newt Gingrich's tax plan is truly evil. It's even worse than what the Great Newtradamus originally proposed. Newtradamus declared a vision of prosperity came to him! All will profit if only we have No Capital Gains Taxes, a Corporate tax rate of 12.5%, and a 15% flat tax for everyone else!

Now, if you wish Newtradamus would allow you to keep the current tax structure, but I don't know if that means the average worker would still be able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or write off Mortgage interest. What the Great and Slimy Newt's plan does mean is the Super Wealthy who control and own the Republican Party would see their stolen loot skyrocket and Income Inequality would become irreversible.

Mr. Sheet Rock Layer who works 2500 hours (48 hours a week) and makes $50,000 would pay $7,500 in taxes if he took the flat 15% rate. But, the Thieves who call their Income deferred would really prosper. For instance, Willard Mitt's, The Romneyan, tax rate would plummet from his current 13.9% to 0.25% and he would pay a mere $56,000 in taxes on an Income of $21,600,000, a Quarter of One Percent.

It's a brilliant way of destroying the Social Safety Net and crippling the Government. It's not an accident. The goal of the Right-Wing has always been to shift the burden of the poor, injured, sick or downtrodden onto the hard-working middle class, while allowing the 1% to abscond with Trillions in tax dollars funneled to them via their Republicon Dogs.

Do you think Mr. 10 hour days is going to want any money going to the Moochers? Of course, not he's busting his ass! He's ruining his health, breaking his back and barely seeing his family. But, and this is the most important part of the Right-Wing Plan the Middle Class can never know who are the Real Moochers. The True Moochers and Welfare Recipients in this Nation are the Plutocrats of the 1%.

This is where the Romneyan Brain-Washing Maneuver comes into play.

Romney, like all the Vultures and Thieves with whom he congregates make No Contribution to Society. The Entire Financial Model of the 1% is, what they themselves call, Creative Destruction.

It's Creative all right, but it's not Creation, it's Destruction. Romney and his ilk make profits off of eliminating jobs, destroying American companies, polluting waterways destroying ecosystems and profiting off of the carnage they caused.

But, that's only the first part of the Romneyan Brain-Washing Maneuver. After destroying Americans lives, Mitt Romney moves hundreds of millions to off-shore accounts in Luxembourg or the Cayman Islands and then calls the rest of his earnings "Deferred Income" or "Capital Gains". Thus while making at least 400 times more than an average American, every year, Romney and the disgusting filth with whom he associates get to pay effective tax rates 1/2th or 1/3rd as much.

But, when this is pointed out, people get mad so the Romneyan Brain-Washing reaches it's conclusion, in which Willard Mitt and his fellow Thieves declare they actually pay 50% taxes. "All told it's really closer to 45% or 50%," Mitt Romney.

It's a lie of course, but Romney has supporters amongst the Actors over at Faux News who declare, "Who cares how much money he has???"

Everything the Plutocrats and their defenders tell you are lies. Corporations do not pay 35% taxes. Time and again it's shown Corporations don't pay anything in taxes
Seventy-eight of the 280 companies paid zero or less in federal income taxes in at least one year from 2008 to 2010. Thirty corporations paid less than nothing (Negative Tax Rates) in aggregate federal income taxes over the entire 2008-10 period.
Even more despicably these same Companies spent more on lobbyists and political donations,
Moreover, Public Campaign reports these companies spent about $476 million during the same period to lobby the U.S. Congress, as well as another $22 million on federal campaigns, while in some instances laying off employees and increasing executive compensation.
That is where Newtradamus and Romneyan prove most special. Regular Americans don't get fancy dinner dates and a $500,000 dollar line of credit from Tiffany's or a $25,000 dollar a month contract to "Not-Lobby" from Freddie Mac like Newtradamus.

We, the People don't have wealthy friends setting up an LLC or a PAC to funnel millions of dollars to our pockets as we've seen happen for both Newtradamus and The Romneyan. W Spann LLC, was formed in March 2011 by Cameron Casey a former comrade of Willard Mitt's at Bain Capital made a $1,000,000 dollar donation to Romney and dissolved in July 2011.

Sheldon Adelson, who literally makes his money off of gambling (remember no contribution to society) and his wife Dr. Miriam Adelson have each given a $5,000,000 million dollar donation to Newtradamus.

But, all of this can't distract the conservative rubes and dupes who slavishly slurp down all the filth the Republicans shovel to them during their nearly 20 debates. The right-wing dupes truly believe all they need to make millions of dollars like they're good friends Newtradamus and The Romneyan is lower taxes and getting those moochers off of Medicaid, foodstamps and welfare.

Meanwhile, the Vultures smile and Trillions flow to them.
