Since 2008 and the onset of the Great Bush Depression, we have seen some of the most remarkable and inane economic theories ever proposed and some of the greatest revisions in economic history ever put upon the American People. For example, with 15 million people out of work and Europe on its back, many conservative [...]

In 1946, in the shadow of the carillon tower on the campus of the University of Chicago, an economist by the name of Milton Friedman began teaching economics to some of the brightest students in the country. His particular approach to economics was by and large what might be called neo-classical liberalism. It is a [...]

Why We Need Unions
December 19th, 2012 · Comments Off · ALEC, Corporations and Industry, Labor, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
There are a lot of people today who do not understand the history and the purpose of unions. And that is very important. Very important. The reason is as the old saying goes…”Just because I am paranoid does not mean that there are not people out to get me.” And what does that mean? It [...]

How Conservatism Becomes Fascism
June 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments · ALEC, Democracy, Fascism, Human Rights, jobs, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes
In 1946, in one of the great cosmopolitan cities of Europe, ancient and yet contemporary, with a tradition of culture, music, popular culture and modern art, an old woman, dressed in a ragged coat, with an old woolen bandana wrapped around her head dragged a small cart down the street. The formerly popular neighborhood was [...]

ALEC and the Corporate Takeover of America
May 14th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Fascism, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
Our government at local, state and national levels is being confiscated by huge corporations. It is happening every day in state legislatures all over the country. Our major corporations belong to a Right Wing organization called the American Legislative Exchange Council, more commonly known as ALEC. Their job is to advance their goals at the [...]

Newt Gingrich’s Laughable Run for President
March 1st, 2012 · 3 Comments · Capitalism, Health Care, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes
Newt Gingrich is actually a pretty smart guy. He has a little bit of Reagan in him. He likes to entrance you with a story. But then you find out the story was just that…a story…fiction…unreality. His moderate intelligence is wistfully scattered like dandelion spores in the Autumn breeze among his confused and competing thoughts. [...]

The Son-in-law Senator from Wisconsin
February 23rd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget
The nice thing about “stupid” is that you don’t have to make anything up or manipulate anything or try to exaggerate anything…stupid is as stupid does. Rarely, however, do public men who are so stupid that you wonder how they can tie their shoes allow their stupidity to show up in the clear, bright glare [...]

The Planned Koch Brothers’ Political Takeover
February 8th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Human Rights, Politics, Populism
You must understand one thing. A vote for a Republican is a vote for Neo-Fascist group whose only ultimate political strategy is to put the opposition…who will be in enormous numbers…into concentration camps. Before you scoff and cry conspiracy nut, look at it logically. Citizens United makes it possible…it has already happened…for billionaires to elect [...]

Romney Lies about the President
February 5th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, wars and militarism
There is a point beyond which credulity will not go. You can lie to some of the people, as Lincoln said, all of the time, or all of the people some of the time. But over a longer period, people will discover the truth. As an aside, this is what happened in 2010. The people [...]

Here Comes the Election Year Propaganda
January 27th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, jobs, Labor, Politics, Populism, taxes
If you think you have been lied to before…you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. It’s an election year and therefore the amount and the degree of inaccuracy of Republican statements will increase, and already have increased, exponentially. Here are just a few examples. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have blamed Barack Obama for the lack [...]

The Parable of the Thieves
January 22nd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
When reason fails, people fall back on superstition. The American society has long operated under the basic principle that hard work creates abundance and abundance may solve all our earthly ills. When that logic, which has always been one of our foundations, along with “fair play” and “brotherhood” among citizens…although a creaky stair-climb with many [...]

Lies My Republican Candidates Told Me.
October 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics, Populism, The Budget, Wall Street
The Republican candidates are out on the Old Washington Trail. It leads from Iowa to New Hampshire to the Carolinas, with stops in Nevada and other similarly insignificant places along the way. The costumes are atrocious, the tricks are many and the treats are, well, few and far between. But the missatements of fact…well…they are [...]

OCCUPY AMERICA!

The last big show of Populist sentiment in this country was when the people of Wisconsin stood up against an oppressive Governor and a neo-Fascist Republican legislature who wanted to dismantle the state government, give away tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks to wealthy business owners, and pit one average middle class family [...]

Returning the Great American Middle Class
October 21st, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, Populism
This is about returning government to the People. This is about returning the Middle Class to America. If you read this and you are not a Republican, you will understand it immediately. When you do, you should send it to everyone you know and tell them to send it to everyone they know. Now they [...]

Jobs and the Current American Economic Disaster
October 13th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, jobs, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
Since the Fall of 2008, the U.S. economy a dynamic enterprise of about $15 trillion dollars, as measured in employment, has fallen by about 8 million people. There were already about 7 million people unemployed, or 7% by the end of 2007, a roller coaster ride up and down after the Clinton Administration when unemployment [...]
