Screw The Rich (Here’s How)

Tax the rich. Those bastards.
I get why people who aren’t rich hate those that are. No one really cares what they have, they only care what they have relative to others. When there is inequality, and there always is, even the hyper intelligent call for a redistribution of wealth. It’s an enduring longing for us as a species, and no evidence to the contrary will convince people it just doesn’t work in any large group.
What I really didn’t understand until recently though is why so many rich Americans seem to loathe their richness as much as everyone else does. Many in Silicon Valley want to tax the rich into the middle class and let government spend and spend and spend. The super rich ...
ADL Tightens 'Domestic Terrorist' Noose Around Christians
Post Date: 2011-08-15 17:09:33 by Brian S

In attempting to end free speech and criminalize Christians, the Anti-Defamation League (architect of hate laws worldwide) is promoting two contradictory agendas. First, it warns Congress that Islam is highly vulnerable to extreme interpretation by Muslim terrorists. At the same time it derides “Islamophobe” Christians for fearing Islam and Sharia law! ADL characterizes anti-Jihadist evangelicals (even if they are staunchly pro-Israel) as “haters,” whose inflammatory criticism of Islam inspires anti-Islamic terrorists like Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik. Why ADL's conceptual schizophrenia?To pass Christian-persecuting “anti-terrorist” laws, ...
Americans Don't Realize Just How Badly We're Getting Screwed by the Top 0.1 Percent Hoarding the Country's Wealth

With an unprecedented sum of wealth, tens of trillions of dollars, held within the top one-tenth of one percent of the US population, we now have the most severe inequality of wealth in US history. Not even the robber barons of the Gilded Age were as greedy as the modern-day economic elite. As American philosopher John Dewey said, “There is no such thing as the liberty or effective power of an individual, group, or class, except in relation to the liberties, the effective powers, of other individuals, groups or classes.”In my report, The Economic Elite vs. the People, I reported on the strategic withholding of wealth from 99 percent of the US population over ...
Bachmann-Perry Overdrive

The fight for the Republican Presidential nomination is finally getting underway in earnest, with Texas Governor Rick Perry bull-riding his way into the race and Michele Bachmann winning Saturday's straw poll in Iowa. Both events show how unsettled the GOP contest still is, as voters search for a candidate who can beat a vulnerable President Obama. Mrs. Bachmann, the Minnesota Congresswoman, has emerged from cable-TV land in recent months to be a viable competitor. She is telegenic, a hard worker, and has planted herself at the front of the tea party parade in hostility to all things Washington. This posture matches the current public mood and helps to explain why she surpassed fellow ...
Why "business needs certainty" is destructive

If you read the business and even the political press, you've doubtless encountered the claim that the economy is a mess because the threat to reregulate in the wake of a global-economy-wrecking financial crisis is creating "uncertainty." That is touted as the reason why corporations are sitting on their hands and not doing much in the way of hiring and investing. This is propaganda that needs to be laughed out of the room. I approach this issue as as a business practitioner. I have spent decades advising major financial institutions, private equity and hedge funds, and very wealthy individuals (Forbes 400 level) on enterprises they own. I've run a profit center in a ...
America's Debt is Not Its Biggest Problem
Post Date: 2011-08-15 00:02:46 by go65

The debt crisis as it crests ultimately gives way to these growth-inhibiting, spending-contractionary secular forces. Having run up our credit card to keep on spending, we have reached market-enforced limits that force deleveraging. It is not the debt, however, but the lack of global aggregate demand that is at the heart of the crisis. As the entire world strives to put its own people to work before other nations do, policymakers constructively lower interest rates and delay sovereign, corporate and household defaults to provide breathing room. Fiscally, however, an anti-Keynesian, budget-balancing immediacy imparts a constrictive noose around whatever demand remains alive and kicking. ...
Once A Fringe Candidate, Paul Shaping 2012 Race
Post Date: 2011-08-14 18:33:02 by Brian S

Ron Paul, once seen as a fringe candidate and a nuisance to the establishment, is shaping the 2012 Republican primary by giving voice to the party's libertarian wing and reflecting frustration with the United States' international entanglements. The Texas congressman placed second in a key early test vote Saturday in Ames, coming within 152 votes of winning the first significant balloting of the Republican nominating contest. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota won the nonbinding Iowa straw poll, but Paul's organizational strength and a retooled focus on social issues set him up to be a serious player in the campaign. "I believe in a very limited role for government. But ...

Israel is experiencing a protest movement for “social justice” as are other countries in the Middle East and Europe. But the Israeli version seeks a more equitable society for Jewish citizens while sidestepping the plight of Palestinians, what Lawrence Davidson sees as the result of intense anti-Arab indoctrination. By Lawrence Davidson Over the last ten years, there have been periodic outbursts of rage over the alleged anti-Semitic nature of Palestinian textbooks. Most of these episodes have been instigated by an Israeli-based organization called the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (aka, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School ...

Technically, the margin of victory for Michele Bachmann at Saturday's Iowa straw poll was slight, with second-place finisher Ron Paul falling just 152 votes (or 0.9 percentage points) short of her tally. But everyone knows that Paul is a niche candidate. The 27.65 percent that he earned on Saturday is impressive, in that it speaks to the sizable and devoted following he has built, but it's also probably the same share he would have received if there'd only been two candidates on the ballot, instead of nine. Bachmann's real competition was Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor who had poured massive time and energy into the straw poll, hoping to post a ...

They Who Live by the Race Card Die by the Race Card By Lloyd Marcus Due to Obama's declining poll numbers, Democrat tongues loosened by cocktails at parties are quietly suggesting, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could primary Obama out with Hillary? Darn it, we can't because Obama is black!" I say, "Hallelujah -- a perfect example of divine justice." They who live by the race card die by the race card. Almost three years ago, the Democrats offered their equivalent of a Trojan Horse to America in the form of a shiny, new, extremely well-crafted, beautiful black man. Its mega-internal speakers broadcast a hypnotic message, heavily reverbed to create a ...
German Example Shows Way Out of Debt Crisis; Why the US Should Raise Taxes

A Commentary by Peter Bofinger AFP A collapsed bridge in Minneapolis (2007 photo): The US already spends less than average on infrastructure. Almost all the industrialized economies are struggling under the weight of enormous debt levels. The problem is their government revenues are too low. Debt-ridden countries like the United States, Ireland and Japan need to raise their taxes to a similar level to Germany. The global economic and financial crisis has led to a dramatic increase in government debt in recent years. Within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), member countries' average debt ratio -- i.e., public debt relative to economic output -- ...
Tea Party Terrorists? No -- Worse

I have to agree with the tea party advocate who wrote complaining that his movement, and sometimes the Republicans in general, have been recently linked to the word "terrorist" ("Why the name calling?" Aug. 10). I know from personal experience this is wildly inaccurate. As a resident of New York City on 9/11, I watched in horror as real terrorists attacked my own city and killed nearly 3,000 of my neighbors, including the father of one of my youngest daughter's 10th grade classmates. Despite that horror, as a city, we picked ourselves up and stood up unbeaten and unbowed by the worst terrorists can do. Because the truth is simple terrorists will never stop ...
Wisconsin's Warning to Union Busters

Five months after Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin pushed through a law stripping public unions of their bargaining rights, the Republican Party has paid a price. Two of the state senators who backed the law were thrown out of office by voters on Tuesday and replaced with Democrats. Mr. Walker’s opponents did not succeed in turning over the Senate, but it was still an impressive response to the governor’s arrogant overreach. Related News Analysis: In Wisconsin, a Big Recall Push Comes Up Short (August 11, 2011) Recall elections are extremely difficult to win; only two had succeeded in the state in the last 80 years.

The Case for Republican Economic Sabotage

With a few exceptions, tea party events have always appeared less like protest rallies and more like Sunday evening lawn concerts, with attendees lounging in lawn chairs waving tiny flags -- not unlike a Lee Greenwood "unplugged" festival at the local Yickadoo Amphitheater and Flea Market. But with tea party attendance declining, the leisurely, almost bucolic atmosphere of the tea party gatherings has become increasingly lackadaisical. Until, that is, the other day when one of the Tea Party Express performers mentioned that the Standard & Poor's credit downgrade was being blamed on the tea party wing of the Republican Party. The crowd loved it. Perhaps they simply ...

Towards the beginning of the original Terminator film, Kyle Reese, who has come back to the past to save Sarah Connor - whose spawn will save mankind - lets her know what she's facing in her new cybernetic stalker. "Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Substitute "Tea Party" for "Terminator" and "U.S. Government" for "you," and with the exception of "fear" (which I'd argue is what drives them), this pretty much sums up the story of the 60 ...
Can Bachmann Count?

Will Iowa voters challenge Michele Bachmann to clarify her incoherent fiscal views? On the one hand, she adamantly opposed raising the debt ceiling and is now demanding a balanced budget this year. On the other hand, she voted for the Ryan Budget. That plan proposed running big budget deficits for decades (even under the rosiest economic assumptions – like 2.8% unemployment rate). Its implementation would require a total increase of the debt ceiling at least several times greater than the one that just passed (against strong opposition from Bachmann). Can these two positions be reconciled? Inquiring minds want to know.

Among the legion of problems facing the U.S., two stand out: Unemployment remains appallingly high, and the public works undergirding our economy are in alarmingly bad shape. Creating a national infrastructure bank presents a harmonized solution to these two problems that should be feasible even in austere times. Airports and transportation networks, levees and dams, water and energy systems are deteriorating. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that 25 percent of our bridges are deficient, 7 billion gallons of clean water are wasted each day because of leaking pipes, and a third of our major roads are in poor or mediocre condition. The costs of all this to U.S. businesses -- ...
Republicans’ No-Tax Stand Unsupported by History or Facts: View

Whatever one thinks of the validity of Standard & Poor’s decision to downgrade U.S. debt, it contained an admonition that we should take seriously: Spending cuts alone won’t be sufficient to place the debt, and by extension, the economy, on a sustainable path. In a memo to his Republican colleagues, Cantor warned that S&P’s analysis put the party under “pressure to compromise on tax increases” on the ground that there is “no other way forward.” His response: “I respectfully disagree.” As always, the Republican leaders justified their intransigence by invoking the demons of job-killing taxes that would suppress the dynamism of overtaxed ...
Republicans Retain Majority in Wisconsin Recall Election:Bad News for Obama and Dems as Unions Fail on All Fronts

Union thugs pummeled the Wisconsin State House as the newly elected Governor and Republican majorities worked to balance the Wisconsin state budget. The unions were upset that they were being asked to accept small concessions like paying a portion of their benefits –like private business employees are asked to do –and bring the Wisconsin union’s collective bargaining in line with federal unions. When the people rose up and elected Republicans last fall,they issued a mandate to the lawmakers to fix the broken and bloated state budget. What had happened in Wisconsin and other states over the years is that the State Worker’s Unions had found that Democrats were willing to ...

There are certain topics about which I write that inevitably trigger predictable responses. If I write, say, a defense of Israel, I know I will be called one of three or four obscenities by anti-Semites. If I write a piece bemoaning the fact that 80 percent of Jewish Americans invariably vote for left-wingers, I can expect to be vilified, not as a conservative, but as a self-hating Jew. If I write disparagingly about Obama, a certain number of readers, taking their lead from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, will condemn me as a racist, and if I write anything in opposition to same-sex marriages, I'm pilloried as a homophobe. So, naturally, when I wrote and posted "Gays and grays," it ...
Where's all the loudmouthed Obama liberals since his last massive failure?

Remember the days when Obama was elected by felons, druggies, drunks and long dead corpses? Ah, those were the days. Thanks ACORN! "Change!" was in the air, although it smelled a lot like hog manure. But one failure after another has seen the luster of Obama turn to the mold of Jimmy Carter. With those failures, the liberal contingent is jumping the sinking Obama ship faster than negroes cashing a welfare check. The Obama failure was predicted, but liberals would have none of it. "He's The One!" they roared. The liberal media obliged and joined in the attack. But things aren't looking so good for the great teleprompter these days. An empty suit can't stand ...

The NAACP's Betrayal of Blacks By Lloyd Marcus Are you folks as sick of reading my articles on this topic as I am of writing them? Just as Ronald Reagan said to Jimmy Carter during the 1980 debate, I say to the NAACP, "Well, there you go again" -- more distortions, lies, and tired old "we shall overcome" 1950s rhetoric. Tragically, this once-great organization has been hijacked by far-left, radical, America-hating socialists. Thus, the NAACP is relentless in its efforts to portray American race relations as having progressed very little since the 1950s -- ignoring obvious evidence to the contrary, like a black first family occupying the White House.

The real danger of an Obama presidency By Neal Boortz A listener reminded me about this quote that we had on Boortz.com some time ago. The origin of the quote is a bit sketchy .. it apparently first appeared in a Czech newspaper .. but regardless of who wrote or where it came from, its message rings true now, more than ever. The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more ...
Ratings Agency Hypocrites
Post Date: 2011-08-07 13:44:36 by Brian S

Can’t say rating agencies don’t have a sense of humor. Last weekend, the painfully embarrassing bipartisan political drama to raise the U.S. debt ceiling centered around doing whatever it took to avoid losing our sacrosanct AAA credit rating. This weekend, under cover of a Friday night, with markets safely closed and global traders gone for the weekend, the best-known rating agency, Standard and Poor’s, basically mooned U.S. economic policy. On one main score, S&P’s downgrade rationale is right: Washington policy-making is decidedly "dysfunctional.” In fact, that’s a seismic understatement. But that would also be a fair description of S&P’s ...
Socialism’s God—Karl Marx: Was He Stupid, Insane…or Possessed?
Post Date: 2011-08-07 12:06:25 by We The People

Karl Marx lived from 1818-1883. The question addressed today is whether Marx accidentally created the most inefficient and murderous set of beliefs in history, or if something more dreadful was at work in his mind and heart. The crux is whether Marx simply gave up belief in God, or more darkly—decided to cast his lot with Satan against Yahweh, in spite of the implications? Surprisingly, Marx made a large number of statements seemingly in support of the Devil, judgment and hell. But the reader can decide themselves the question of this essay—whether Marx was stupid, crazed or diabolical. Considering Karl Marx’s character, in Paul Johnson’s illuminating book ...
