Psychological warfare disguised as economic reform. |
It is my opinion American fascists who control society are doing so through
economic manipulation. By shifting the money to the top of the economy they
control the power to push propaganda, buy political influence and control
society through economic strangulation. The key to political freedom is
economic freedom.
This may seem radical to some who haven't closely studied politics from 1980
on, but keep in mind that the rightwing in the U.S. political establishment
actively recruited Nazi/fascist psychological warfare specialists at the end
of WWII. It is obvious they have a long term plan to consolidate their power
by draining money from the bottom of the economic ladder and hoarding it at
the top thus depriving average citizens of the resources to live an
independent life which would include readily available inexpensive
healthcare and education.
The U.S. economic system at the present holds its citizens hostage to those
controlling the money and this economic servitude has dramatically worsened
under the Bush cabal. One has only to remember the loss of jobs through
outsourcing, corporate mergers and downsizing. These economic policies DON'T
benefit workers or the economy because most if not all of the money is
absorbed by the upper management and ultra rich.

Richest Are Leaving Even the Rich Far Behind
by David Cay Johnston
-snip-
Under the Bush tax cuts, the 400 taxpayers with the highest incomes - a
minimum of $87 million in 2000, the last year for which the government will
release such data - now pay income, Medicare and Social Security taxes
amounting to virtually the same percentage of their incomes as people making
$50,000 to $75,000.
Those earning more than $10 million a year now pay a lesser share of their
income in these taxes than those making $100,000 to $200,000.
The alternative minimum tax, created 36 years ago to make sure the very
richest paid taxes, takes back a growing share of the tax cuts over time
from the majority of families earning $75,000 to $1 million - thousands and
even tens of thousands of dollars annually. Far fewer of the very wealthiest
will be affected by this tax.

They're NOT democratic when the rich and corporations own the politicians
and news media!!
Republicans own the companies building and programming the voting machines
and resist giving paper receipts.
Democracy in the U.S. is an illusion based on patriotic propaganda. The
rightwing has been and is in the process of deregulating systems that need
regulation to keep them fair, effective and democratic. Until politicians
once again serve their constituents without the outside influence of wealthy
contributors there will be no democracy.

"Those seeking profits," Jefferson wrote, "were they given total freedom,
would not be the ones to trust to keep government pure and our rights
secure. Indeed, it has always been those seeking wealth who were the source
of corruption in government. No other depositories of power have ever yet
been found, which did not end in converting to their own profit the earnings
of those committed to their charge."

During the last election cycle, while Frist headed the NRSC, the health care
industry increased its contributions to Republican candidates to just under
$ 4 million and became the largest industry contributor to the party.
“If you look at the money involved, it would be easy to say the medical
industry has bought itself a Senator and, now, a Senate,” says Harleigh.

Would you agree to a system where politicians
can only accept contributions from individuals,
and no more than $1000 from any one individual
within a calendar year?

The number of uninsured Americans increased by 5 million over the past four
years and the government announced last month that Medicare premiums will
increase in January by a record amount in dollar terms of $11.60 per month.

I believe this would put the Democrats at
a distinct disadvantage.

How is this to be enacted by the system you say is no
democracy? If this -can- be enacted then why need it ?

The people did not object, apparently. They went along with
the (Jew Controlled) mass-media version, like lemmings led to the
Armageddon Slaughter. These events were driven by "peak oil"
problems, and are explained in the film _The_End_of_Suburbia_.
Anxiety over preservation of suburbia led to election machinations.
Yet, nevertheless, that -is- what the people wanted. If you were to
arrange for counter-revolutionary activity, then a central committee
for insurrectionary terrorism might also apply "democratic" procedures.

Don't the wealthy contributors deserve to have their voice heard?
After all, wealthy contributors pay most of their party's contributions.
