Obama Is About To Give A Huge Class Warfare Speech

December 5, 2011

If this speech plays out the way this article suggests I have two words for the President; FAIR (Flat) TAX!

I don’t want to get into a spitting match with the President.  Also, I don’t want to go there with any of the other possible candidates to the 2012 election.  As I’m sure that most of us are tired of trying to parse any of the politicians words I want to see action toward specific goals.  Not band aids for broken discourse.

A proper Fair/Flat Tax would eliminate many advantages the privileged class have had during the last century.  When you hear something that tries to move us American Citizens away from that goal you are listening to political gamesmanship and class warfare.  We should no more accept this from any of our leaders than from any enemy of democracy.  Divide and conquer is still alive and well in the rhetoric the

 

President Barack Obama will travel to Osawatomie, Kansas on Tuesday to emphasize the need for Americans to pay their “fair share.”
It’s an argument that many in the Republican party reject as class warfare, but Obama will draw on a Republican president — Theodore Roosevelt — to justify his message.

Obama Outlines Regulations Overhaul to Save Businesses About $10 Billion – Bloomberg

I’m a little miffed about this article.  No, not the fact that it was written nor what was written but that we’ve heard the same thing before from the “Hope and Change” President.  Then why this article from Bloomberg and why now?

This post may not make many friends with those I call ostiches but it’s an op-ed piece.  I don’t believe I can wake the dead anyhow.

Here is a good example of “bait and switch”.  This is how it works.

  1. Listen to the concerns of the opposing parties’ complaints.
  2. Offer a dog-and-pony show to show that you hear the complaints and that you are going to do something about it.
  3. Place blame on others as to how we got here.
  4. Vilify the action of anyone speaking out as to really say, “We will really listen, and then ignore you because you are just really parroting the villains in this situation.
  5. Do more of the same.
  6. Move on.  [.org?]  

Change we can believe in?

QE3: Bernanke and the Potemkin Economy | MND

August 7, 2011

One more article that might make good reading:

The Soviet communists duped foreign visitors into thinking that communism was a viable and prosperous system by steering them to sham factories, stores, villages, etc. that appeared productive, bustling, and attractive. In reality, Potemkin villages were like movie sets, built to disguise the widespread poverty and backwardness that characterized life in the “workers’ paradise.”
