Here is a petition to rally with the effort to get President Obama to keep his campaign promise. If you agree we cannot afford to extend the tax cuts to the 2-3 percent of the hghest income earners, please sign. Thank you.
After the Invasion of Iraq, and now Obama openly attacking the Democratic Party, you might as well be pissing into the wind:
"Post Peak Oil, for many years to come, it will still be a question of the scarcity of necessities, which the political system will always try to drive ahead of the energy scarcity itself, vs. the winding down of luxuries. Political choices will largely dictate this. The elites will try to maintain their luxuries and impose total scarcity upon the people. The people should focus on winding down luxuries in favor of preserving as much material necessity as possible. The very existence of the elites is, of course, the most bloated, wasteful, parasitic, obscene luxury.
Permanent mass unemployment is now a structural imperative under the framework of continued neoliberalism. The political normalization of it has been the main political task of the Obama administration. As difficult as it will be for the system, this is the only way to minimize their political risks. Our task is to maximize their political risks.
