American workers have been kicked around by industry for about 30 solid years now. Unions have been crushed, jobs sent to India and China despite the fact that American workers are more educated, have moved to find jobs as often as possible. In the meantime, health insurance companies have left 47 million mostly middle and [...]

The Astonishing, Incomprehensible Mind of the of the American Neocon-Fascist
July 22nd, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, jobs, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, taxes
Only today, only in the most recent polls are we beginning to see the larger group of Americans turning around at some of the comments by the Tea Party and the other Neoconservative Republicans and saying: “What did he say? Did I hear that correctly?” Only now are the vast majority of normal Americans beginning [...]

Republicans and “Tea Party” Billionaires Attack Social Security

One of the attacks on the Middle Class being undertaken skillfully by the Koch Brothers and the Phil Anschutzes and the Rush Limbaughs and the Rupert Murdochs of the world and carried out by their lackeys, Eric Cantor and Mitch McCullough is on Social Security. So let’s take a look at how this organized process [...]

Neocon Lies About Taxes and Austerity
July 10th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget, Wall Street
We have to stay on point, stay focused. The time has passed when the average American family can be civil and or laid back about what is happening in society. The Neoconservatives are blindly working for big capitalism to drive down wages, reduce the average equity or net worth of Americans, and control all of [...]

Scott Brown and the Neocons: Feed the Rich; Starve the Poor
July 4th, 2011 · 1 Comment · jobs, Labor, Politics, Populism, taxes
Today in America, you are rich if you make $250,000 and you are poor if you have no income at all. And that is the case for over 2 million Americans. So, although at one time making $250,000 was not necessarily being rich, now it is. It’s pretty simple isn’t it? If you make not [...]

Tax the Rich and Balance the Budget.
June 25th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, jobs, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
The very wealthy on Wall Street and their political arm, the Neoconservative Republican Party got us into this horrific Recession. Teachers didn’t do it. Nurses didn’t do it. The poor who wanted to own homes and were sold fake mortgages by unscrupulous real estate mortgage brokers didn’t do it. Wall Street, with the active participation [...]

Tax the Rich and Save the Country
June 20th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
It is time that we stopped thinking about fairness, goodness, and justice. Fairness went out the window with Reagan. There never was enough goodness to go around. And justice…well, we’ve got five Right Wing Corporate Lawyers serving on the Supreme Court. How do you like your justice now? So let’s stop worrying about whether our [...]

The Neocon Republican Candidates—A Rogues Gallery
June 15th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, jobs, Lobbying, Politics, taxes, Wall Street
What a bunch of losers we saw in the first Republican debate. It was shallow, obfuscating and ignored reality. We’ll start off by saying that we can’t even add Herman Cain and Ron Paul to a serious discussion. Cain is a total zero and Paul, as we know from what he has said in the [...]

The Trouble with the Trouble with the Economy

We’ve got trouble. Right here in Washington City. And that starts with a “T” and that rhymes with a “G” and that stands for GOP! The Neocon Party is out to use the economy to cause massive trouble for American citizens. The Republicans want to slash spending because…they say…we are going over the cliff. If [...]

Obamacare is the Answer, Ryancare the Disaster
May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, taxes
There were people who thought Paul Ryan was a genius. Then Democrats and Independents and Seniors began to analyze his plan. He quickly became a dunce. The Republicans had no other budget plan. So they voted on it. They passed it in the House. The Democrats, who could not believe their good fortune, quickly pounced [...]

Who Is Scaring All Those Seniors…and Why?

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood…a beautiful day for a neighbor..would you be mine…could you be mine….” Oh, yeah. Mister Rogers had nothing on the way the political parties are trying to attract Independent voters and Senior citizens. But the fact is that there is a significant difference. It is a difference that is [...]

Phony baloney. Just like Walker in Wisconsin, the talk about “austerity” is a bunch of rich white men talking bull shit about what needs to be done. We don’t need austerity. Not the kind the Republicans are talking about. We need prosperity. You see, the problem with the United States right now is that we [...]

On Raising Taxes and Restoring the Dream
April 22nd, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Politics, taxes, Wall Street
We have all benefited from lower taxes in the years since 1980. So we can’t simply say that the rich have benefited. We all have lower taxes than we otherwise would. Of course, the more money you make, the more you are taxed. So the rich, even at these lower rates, pay more by far [...]
