Selling Congressional Seats on Ebay
April 25, 2009No matter which way the wind blows, the United States Congress always profits financially. Why do “We the People”continue to pay salaries plus expenses to our “elected for life” public servants? Should not these little gods and godlings pay us for the privilege to enrich themselves while playacting at “public service?” Let’s auction off their mighty and powerful positions of Senator and Congressman to the highest bidder! Apparently, Governors already do it. Why shouldn’t we do it? After-all, we are still the “We” in “We the People,” aren’t we?
Pols Gone Wild!
The Congressional tentacles of our high and mighty “servants of the People,” our elected godlings, are tenaciously entwined into the shroud of our financial demise. The latest example is Senator Diane Feinstein who saw to it that her husband’s company was awarded the exclusive rights to sell the government’s foreclosed homes of “We the People.”Senator Feinstein saw to it that $25 billion of the American taxpayers’ bailout went to pay that nice little real estate commission to her own husband. Why not keep it all in the family? $25 Billion of the Bailout to the Feinsteins. After all, that’s what politicos have been trained to do – take care of “Number One.” And “Number One” ain’t no stinking “We the People,” you can bet. That’s okay – Senator Feinstein is not the only one to do it. Look at Congressman Barney Frank.
Congressman Barney Frank was willing to let the entire American financial system go down the tubes, see retirees lose their pensions, see millions of Americans lose their homes, so that he and his lover could live like the pompous godlings they really are. The Love Triangle the Destroyed a Nation’s Financial System.

Punishment by Taxation
March 19, 2009Forget Progressive Taxation! We Now Have Confiscatory Taxation to PUNISH!
Now “We the People” have turned our U.S. Tax code into a weapon to bludgeon those we dislike with egregious Confiscatory Taxes. Granted, that is not as evil as strangling those we dislike and their families with piano wire, as some outraged Americans have suggested. However, once this government’s revenge gets going strong, many will be wishing for “death by piano wire.” Those others may someday be you, yourself, when you finally do or say something your government does not like.
The United States Congress, in its villainous plan to fully implement their President’s “Dreams of His Father,” has gone far further than Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. ever dreamt. Obama wanted 100% taxation in order to “spread the wealth around.” The United States Congress today passed into law a bill to tax fellow Americans by 90% solely as revenge; soley to punish them. Why 90% and not 100%? That was merely a technicality, as Congress explained that the State and Local Taxes will take the other 10%, of course. The senior Obama, a Harvard-educated economist, wrote of his plans for Kenya:
“What is more important is to find means by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all. This is the government’s obligation. The “means” he had in mind were confiscatory taxes on a scale that redefines the term “progressive taxation.”
“Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.”
“I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development.”
“Certainly there is no limit to taxation if the benefits derived from public services by society measure up to the cost in taxation which they have to pay. It is a fallacy to say that there is this limit, and it is a fallacy to rely mainly on individual free enterprise to get the savings.”
Of course, we have all known about President’s Obama’s “Dreams of His Father” and Obama’s plans to implement them, as he wrote all about his father in two books. That’s where we find the above quotations. What we did not know is how eager our elected representatives would be to help Obama begin implementing the new Plan of Taxation. If you are counting on Republicans to come to the rescue and save us, forget it. Over half the Republicans in Congress voted to use the Tax Code as a weapon.

Virginia Gone Communist
November 12, 2008Welcome to the Commune of Virginia! As “beloved” Virginia Congressman Jim Moran said, his state of Virginia has proved that capitalism “doesn’t work in the long run.” Hear the words of Congressman Jim Moran, Fall 2008, as he condemns the workers of Virginia and the nation for their astonishingly high productivity these last eight years, because these productive workers were not willing to share the fruits of their labors, according to Moran. American workers have not been abiding by the guidelines of Marx and Engel’s “The Communist Manifesto,” so that is about to change, with the “Change Election.”
“We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in this simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth.” –Congressman Jim Moran, Democrat of Virginia. He continued with “It (capitalism) doesn’t work in the long run.”
Everyone knows that the Commonwealth of Virginia has turned into a Blue State, as it went strongly for Barack Obama in the Presidential Election. This statement by the Virginia solon is the proof that the Commonwealth of Virginia is now the Commune of Virginia – FIRST in the Nation. Virginia’s celebrated Congressman Jim Moran from the affluent and politically powerful suburb of Communist Northern Virginia has explained that his rich constituents are ready and raring to “spread their wealth around.” No, they are not GREEDY, as is that Joe the Plumber guy in Ohio. Congratulations Virginia! Lead the way.
Yes, we’re ALL communist/socialists now, Virginia.
“Capital is, therefore, not a personal, it is a social power. When, therefore, capital is converted into common property, into the property of all members of society, personal property is not thereby transformed into social property. It is only the social character of the property that is changed. It loses its class-character.” ~~Karl Marx, “The Communist Manifesto.”

Recoup Your Stock Market Losses
October 12, 2008Restore your stock portfolio in 21 days! I have a plan to make your investment portfolio what it was before this horrendous stock market slide of the past few weeks.
I have had a few quid invested in the stock market for many years and I, like all of you, have been devastated by the sudden financial meltdown. I even invested thousands of dollars in “safe and secure” Fannie Mae stock for my eldest granddaughter’s college fund. Thanks to the Congressional Democrats like Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd and Chuck Schumer, my granddaughter has $50.00 left in her account, while the CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines (now Obama’s economic advisor), was sent off by our glorious Congress with a multi-million dollar parachute strapped to his back. Fannie Mae stock is probably destroyed forever, thank you Barney, Maxine and Franklin, however, there is hope for our many other Wall Street investments. (Congressional Investigation of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae)
I have been watching Wall Street and this political race over these past few weeks, and one thing is perfectly clear by now. The stock market has been going up and down with the political polls. These last few days it has been dropping like a rock and so have John McCain’s poll numbers. The stock market forecasts the future, and it is now seeing a future that includes President Barack Obama and his socialist agenda. So … down, down, down it goes, and where it stops, nobody knows.
We taxpayers have already been charged $700 billion by our government to try and bail out the banking, insurance and mortgage industries that our Congress looted and mismanaged. What we have left in the stock market we should try and recoup.
My name is T. Boone Kerfuffles. I’ve been a blogger all my life, but this is one emergency we can’t blog our way out of. I have a plan that uses American innovation and all the energy we can muster to restore ALL of our stock portfolios to what they were three weeks ago-–and it can be done in 21 days.
It will take more than just a plan to make it happen. It will take real leadership. And it will take ALL of us working together to undo some of the damage that has been done to our financial well-being by the Congressional Democrats and their socialistic vote-buying with our money.
This is our crisis, and we can solve it. I have a plan. This is it:
When the pollsters call upon you, regardless for whom you really plan to vote, tell them you are voting for John McCain and the Republicans. Then sit back and watch the stock market reverse itself. Up, up, up it will go! With all of us doing our part we can have our portfolios restored at least by November 3rd. Sometime between Halloween and November 4th, Election Day, CASH OUT. Sell everything. Take your money and run to your mattress. Do not spend a dime.
Come Election Day, go to the polls and vote for Barack Obama. Go home, sit back with a smug look upon your face and feel proud as you watch the stock market dive into the abyss. We will have outwitted the pollsters, given those greedy Wall Street manipulators their just desserts, given the Republicans the comeuppance they so richly deserve, and given ourselves a “Brave New World.”
Pay your increased Obama taxes out of the money in the mattress. When it runs out, have no fear, as we will ALL be sharing and kind Socialists with the world as our oyster. And if anyone is so “lucky” to find the pearl in that oyster, just remember it will belong to our socialist state; it will belong to all the people.

We Are All Socialists Now
October 8, 2008How Do We Know? We know because our banks are being nationalized!
Whoever wins the American presidency, Barack Obama or John McCain, our status as a socialist nation will not change. Last night during the debate, McCain attempted to out-socialize Barack Obama with his government buyout of home mortgages plan. We are now fully fledged socialistic weaklings who think we know how to run an economy better than capitalism and market forces. Henceforth, our technological advancement will be carefully planned, if it is allowed to occur, and the concept of individuality will be squelched. The socialist communal values of equality and brotherhood will be tauted and turn us into community organizers like Barack Obama and A.C.O.R.N. Productive capitalists will be the outcasts of society and shunned and condemned for their individual strivings and achievements as the unnatural orthodoxy of socialism ascends.
We crave socialism. Why else would we be choosing to elect a member of Congress to the Presidency? It is the Congress who has led us astray. It is the Congress that has turned us into a socialist nation. We are being told that the consequences of not socializing our financial system would have been catastrophic. However, any thinking American has a gut feeling that the consequences of the Land of the Free becoming a Land of Socialists is undoubtedly catastrophic, too. We know from world history that the socialist experiment results in unhappy people who feel victimized by a government that gambles their money in the market (like throwing $40 BILLION “more” taxpayer funds to insurance giant AIG today), instead of using that taxpayer money for socially necessary health care, education, pensions, security and national defence. We know that socialism results in equal poverty for all. We know that the only escape from socialism is revolution, and that does not happen until the misery and anger of the people becomes unbearable.
Ayn Rand wrote that the difference between a welfare state and a totalitarian state is but a matter of time.

AWOL Senators
September 25, 2008Here is one more reason why United States Senators should go to work and do their jobs, just like other Americans feel an obligation to do. Instead, we have three of those members of the Senate running about the country trying to get elected President of these same United States.
While they are running wild, not doing their jobs, the country falls apart financially. Way to go guys! $700 Billion is demanded from the taxpayers to “TRY” and fix it. It’s a good thing that most voters don’t pay taxes on the money they earn (income tax), or none of these guys would ever be elected to anything above the rank of dogcatcher.
INCREDIBLY, when one of those AWOL Senators decides to go back to work and do his job that the American government is paying him to do, to help solve the national emergency, he is condemned for not being able to multi-task.
With national leaders like we are seeing in the United States Congress, is there any wonder that there was no oversight of the financial markets? Is there any wonder the country is in this crisis? The voters elected a Democrat Congress to get the country out of war. Did the Congress do that, as they promised? NO! And they did even more damage to the national economy.

Silence of the Dems
September 19, 2008“It looks to me like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — the twin $1 trillion disasters — were the creation of congressional Democrats and a Democrat White House. So where are the Democrats? Why no news conferences explaining themselves?” ~~John Gibson
Well – John, two of them are running for the United States Presidency.
