Comment:  Yes, here is the ultimate theft of your hard-earned income in your IRA retirement accounts. The very fact that the Democrat-liberals in Congress are attempting to pass such a bill reveals once and for all that they are simply vicious socialist-fascist thieves who have utter contempt for your liberty and your right to keep the money you earned.

Solution:  Vote EVERY Democrat and liberal Republican in Congress out of office come November. Your future, your money, your children and grandchildren’s futures, and the liberties you now enjoy are under total attack by these liberal-fascists. Vote them into the unemployment lines, where they belong.

Comment:  I’m VERY glad the liberal-fascist Democrats are committing political suicide by pushing for the largest tax increase in history. Excellent move. Since they are digging their own political graves, I applaud their marxist-psychopathic hatred of “the rich”, who they maliciously envy, so want to punish with higher taxes.

Comment:  Here we go again with this Stark-raving socialist Congressman Stark who has obviously never read the Constitution he has sworn to uphold. His ignorance of the meaning of this fundamental document is startling, yet typical of most liberal-socialists in Congress. Stark hasn’t the faintest grasp of the fact that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are prohibitions AGAINST government actions that are tyrannical, and which violate our fundamental liberties. What truly scares me is how stupid his constituents must be to have continued to vote this liberal-socialist to Congress for 18 years! Are all his constituents on pot?

Solution:  Vote this character and ALL Democrats out of office come November. It’s an insult to our Founding Fathers and the Constitution itself that this man even sits in Congress.

President Obama recently said about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, “The Buck Stops With Me.”  President Bush said the same thing about the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that are bankrupting us. What on Earth did Obama and Bush mean when they said that the buck stops with them?  They are allegedly saying they take “full responsibility” for the consequences of an oil spill or ongoing wars. What do such statements really mean? What monetary damages do these Presidents suffer from their policies or incompetence? Are they fired from their job? No. Can millions of Americans whose lives or livelihood suffer from the actions or incompetence of our Presidents, file a class-action suit against them and sue them for millions of dollars in damages? No. Are criminal charges filed against them? No.

Louisiana fishermen and many other groups have already filed multi-million dollar lawsuits against British Petroleum for the harm the oil spill is doing to their lives and livelihood. BP will will be held fully accountable in our courts, as they should be, and they will be be paying multi-millions of dollars in damages and clean-up costs.

But politicians who claim they take “full responsibility”  or “the buck stops here” for an oil spill or ongoing wars,  just mouth empty, meaningless words. What we need is a way for American citizens to quickly fire or sue Presidents, state Governors, Senators, or government bureaucrats,  just like stockholders can fire or sue an incompetent Chairman of a corporation. Otherwise, statements like “The Buck Stops With Me,” are just political posturing.

Comment:   Of course Obama and his socialist colleagues in Congress don’t want to stop illegal immigration. If they had their way, they would invite half of Mexico into our country as illegal immigrants, then ‘legalize’ them, so tens of millions of new illegal-immigrant ‘citizens’ would then vote for the looter-Democrats in the elections, and keep the looter-Democrats in power. And Calderon likes millions of illegal immigrants, because the illegal immigrants send millions of dollars back home to their families in Mexico. As Gingrich noted, these millions from illegal immigrants are Mexico’s second-biggest source of foreign cash.

Comment: Bush, the “compassionate conservative” was the Hoover of his day. His imbecile socialist policy of artificially low interest rates and using government agencies like Fannie Mae to promote homeownership for everyone, even the tens of millions who couldn’t afford the mortgage payments, led directly to the housing bubble and our devastating recession. Like Hoover, who’s policies gave us the socialist Roosevelt, Bush’s government-created financial crisis paved the way for the radical-socialist Obama. Hope you’re enjoying your retirement, Mr. Bush, while tens of millions of Americans now lost their jobs because of your “compassionate conservatism.”  One question for you — compassionate to WHO?? Compassionate to the tens of millions now unemployed, compassionate to the thousands of businesses destroyed, compassionate to the millions of naive home buyers sucked into buying homes they couldn’t afford who’ve had their house foreclosed? Mr. Bush, thanks for giving us Obama, a “compassionate” radical socialist.

Comment:  I told you, didn’t I? First, the socialist-Democrats in Congress said no new taxes for those making under $250,000 a year. Now the income limit is going down to $200,000. Soon, it will be reduced to $150,000, then to $100,000. Then they will pass a VAT (national sales tax). Can you expect anything else from socialist-Democrats and liberal Republican looters in Congress who think they are Santa Claus, WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY?

Comment:  As Mike Huckabee shows, Obama’s “spread the wealth” vicious notion is nothing more than the typical socialist looter’s desire to steal from those who produce, excel, create jobs, show talent and perseverence, and then hand over this wealth, talent, and hard work to looters and losers who will gladly vote Obama and his socialist-Democrat colleagues in Congress back into office for giving them this free loot. In other words, Obama and the socialist-Democrats in Congress (and liberal Republicans) see government’s role as being a legalized mugger and fence for stolen property.

The Washington Tax Attack Marches On

“The worst thing I’ve seen recently, by far, is the Senate Budget Committee’s new mark-up to jack the dividend tax from 15 percent all the way up to 40 percent. What in the world are these people thinking?”

Comment:  Did you really think marxist Obama and his marxist-Democrat cronies in Congress told the truth that they would not jack up taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for the monstrous health-care welfare bill they just passed? If so, this article describes another major tax the marxist-Democrats in Congress are now proposing, a tax that will affect million of middle-class and retired Americans who depend on income from their stock dividends. The looter-Marxist Obama and his cronies in Congress now want to raise the tax rate on stock dividends from 15% to 40%!  And, it won’t stop there. These marxists want to punish and loot “the rich”, now defined as anyone making over $250,000 a year. Soon they will lower their definition of the “rich” to those making over $200,000, then to $150,000 so they can loot more taxes from more Americans.

Solution —Vote ALL  Democrats and liberal Republicans out of office in November. Then vote comrade Obama out of office in 2012, and give him a one-way ticket to Communist Cuba, where he will be right at home.

Are we SHOCKED that a new government report now shows the socialist-Democrats in Congress lied about the costs of Obamacare, didn’t give a damn, or were their usual incompetent selves? I’m reminded of the line in the movie “Casablanca”, where the police chief tells Rick, the club owner, “Rick, I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED that gambling is going on in your club!

You see, the big-government Democrats and liberal Republicans are so deep in their socialist la-la land, that they really don’t care about costs. Their REAL goal is power, power over your health care, power over every facet of your life, the power every looting, socialist needs to justify his existence on this Earth. These pathetic creatures are telling YOU how to spend your money? These incompetents are forcing YOU to pay for illegal immigrants’ health-care insurance, whether you like it or not.  These looters think they have the right to put their hands into YOUR pockets, to give away YOUR money to looting special interest groups and Wall-Street bankers? Do they?

Solution:  NEVER believe a word any socialist-Democrat or liberal Republican tells you. Vote EVERY Democrat and liberal Republican out of office come November.

NJ Governor Christie reveals in this video how the public-sector unions are bankrupting us, with the help of liberal-socialist politicians. Not just in NJ, but in California, NY, Texas, and every other state. The liberal-socialist state politicians and the public-sector unions love each other. The public-sector unions keep voting the liberal-socialist politicians back into office, then the politicians return the favor by jacking-up the public-sector workers’ pensions and benefits to astounding and bankrupting levels. Sweet deal, right? That’s why NJ has a $10 billion deficit, California has a $16 billion deficit, and most other states have huge deficits.

Then the public-sector workers whine that Gov. Christie is not being “fair” by “attacking” the outrageous benefits and pensions of these workers. “Fair” to who?? “Fair” to the taxpayers trying to keep their homes and jobs, but who have to pay escalating taxes for public-sector workers’ inflated pensions and benefits? These public-sector workers remind me of a mugger on the street who puts a gun to your head demanding every penny you have, and then whines when you only give him the $200 in your pocket instead of the $500 he was expecting.

Solution:  Shut down government-monopoly operation of public-transit systems, public schools, and most other functions that local and state governments now operate. Turn all these functions over to competing free-market businesses. Let fiercely-competitive free-market businesses own and operate “public” transit and all the “public” schools. Get local and state incompetent governments out of the transportation and education business. Then let the former public-sector workers compete for jobs with these businesses, who you can be sure will not be giving these workers the bankrupting benefits and pensions they now get.

Let’s point out a few facts about these alleged “robber-barrons.” The really “bad” robber-barrons were not free-market producers, but instead were in league with, and depended on government contracts and influence to get them special monopoly privileges to destroy their competition. The classic example was the Union Pacific Railroad, and the railroad that created a near-monopoly in California and other western states in the last half of the 19th century.

These corporations bribed Congress to get monopolies for their railroad lines. In league with corrupt state and Federal government regulators, they were able to EXCLUDE other railroads from competing with them. After they got their government-created monopoly set up, they then proceeded to gouge farmers on freight rates, hence gaining the hatred of farmers and small business owners, and earning the name of “robber barrons”.

However, there was a different brand of productive producer who never took a dime of government money, and never tried to exlude competition by using Government regulations and bribing government officials to give them monopolies over their competition. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad created a superlative railroad in the northwest states without any corrupting relationship with government regulators. He beat the competition with his competence and by giving farmers and other shippers a superb railroad at fair shipping prices. Moreover, he HAD to give farmers fair-market shipping prices, because he had fierce competition by other railroads. And that is the primary point here.

Most of the “robber-barrons” who earned that reputation were just like today’s corporations that get special privilages from government regulations that help to strangle their competition, which then allows them to gouge consumers with high prices for their products. A classic example are the thousands of local electric and gas utility companies that get monopoly privilages from the cities they operate in.

Let’s talk about one of the so-called “robber-barrons” and his “evil” accomplishments, John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller, due to his superb efficiency as a businessman and oil producer and refiner, managed to reduce the price of kerosene (used to light lamps at night before we had electric lights), from about $1.50 a gallon to less than 30 cents a gallon by the 1920’s. What Rockefeller accomplished was to give Americans the night back. The vast majority of Americans were now able to afford cheap kerosene to light their lamps at night, so they didn’t have to go to bed in the dark after the sun went down, or depend on candles, or (horror of horrors) whale oil, almost making whales an, hold on to your hat, endangered species.

It seems that besides Rockefeller giving most Americans the ability to read books and stay up to at night with cheap kerosene lighting, he also saved the whales (eco-freaks rejoice!). That’s besides literally creating the oil and refining industry that we have today that employs millions of Americans, lights their houses at the flick of a switch, and drives their cars, refrigerators, and iPods. If this is ‘evil,’ then we desperately need more men like Rockefeller to get us out of the hole that Obama is putting us in.

A more modern example of a true government-created “robber-barron” was the stranglehold monopoly on long-distance telephone service held for over 20 years by AT&T. WHY did they have such a monopoly where they could charge us $1.50 a minute for a long-distance calls? It was because Federal government regulators GAVE them that monopoly by legally forbidding other competitors. The same goes today for the US Post Office. They are a governement-created monopoly on 1st class mail service, and the Federal government has SHUT DOWN the few competitors over the years who tried to create competing first-class delivery service.

So liberal-socialists, who probably love their Blackberry or iPods created by the “evil” capitalists at Microsoft or Apple, unhappily continue to mouth their marxist college professors’ rhetoric, and attack this straw man of the free-market called “robber-barrons,” to ‘prove’ the “evil” of the unfettered free-market. But in fact, they don’t condemn an unfettered capitalism as it could and should be, but the mongrel “mixed” economy, the hybrid monster of government controls and government regulators in league with corrupt corporations who are eager to use government to crush their competition. This mongrel, quasi-socialist/fascist system we now have in America, is NOT free-market capitalism, but simply a half-way house to the final abyss of a socialist/fascist America.

A true free-market would have a constitutional Amendment that created a wall between government and the economy (similar to the separation of Church and State). Congress would be forbidden from making any laws or regulations that gave special monopoly privileges, subsidies, or handouts to any business, corporation, or special-interest group (such as unions). In a true free market, free from all government controls or interference, a business would only succeed because of their competence, and how well they beat their competitors in providing the highest quality and/or lowest-priced products or services for their customers.

Every day, our liberal/socialist/marxist friends benefit from that free-market they so blithly attack. Yet, let them turn on a switch, and they immediately gets light in their rooms. Let them go to a local gas station, and they easily get fuel to drive their cars. WHERE do liberal/socialists think they get these wonderful things that give them their high standard of living? WHO do they think brings them all these marvelous goods and services that makes their lives so easy — why, from the “evil” capitalists who they like to tax to death.

Have our fuzzy liberal/socialists ever seen recent videos of the streets and cars running around Havana today? Cuba looks like a time-warp from the 1950s. Not an ounce of progress, new buildings, new cars, or a better life for its citizens. It’s as if Castro’s socialist “paradise” stopped the clock of human progress in Cuba, as it has. Is this what fuzzy liberal-socialists want for themselves and THEIR children?

Besides going to Cuba to test out the socialized-medicine paradise there, perhaps fuzzy liberal/socialists should travel back in time a few hundred years before we HAD those “evil” free-market capitalists they call “robber barrons.” Let them risk dying at average age 47 instead of the average age of 79 that Americans die today, because the “evil” capitalists at our supermarket chains, pharmaceutical companies, and water-treatment corporations now give us fresh, abundant food, antibiotics, and sanitary drinking water. Let them live in a log cabin they have to light with candles or whale oil at night. Let them have to risk their lives hunting for their food, instead of so conveniently being able to go to their local supermarkets for milk and steaks. Let them ride their cows or horses a hundred miles to town, rather than getting in their shiny cars that take them to their shiny city restaurant in a few minutes.

Liberals like to deny that they are like those bad ’socialists’ we used to have in the Soviet Union or in communist Cuba today, and all liberal-socialists shout that they hate ‘fascists.’ Sorry to burst your bubble, liberals, but there’s very little difference between a liberal, socialist, or a fascist. Liberals, if they ever get around to reading recent history, might discover that the German NAZI party stood for “National SOCIALIST” party of Germany. Yes, horror of horrors, the Nazis were primarily socialists, with a national German twist. They were for complete government control of all industries. So are socialists. They were for heavy, progressive income taxes, the same as socialists and Communists. They claimed that the individual must sacrifice himself to the “Fatherland.” Socialists in Cuba and the Soviet Union claimed that the people must sacrifice themselves to “the people.” That’s simply the same vicious socialist-collectivist notion with a different name.

Both socialists and fascists believe government should either own or totally control the economic activity and political freedom of all its citizens, in effect making them slaves of the state. Socialism and fascism are simply two sides of the same vicious coin, brothers under the skin. They espouse the same philosophy that has been responsible for murdering and torturing over 100 million people in the 20th century (by Hitler, Stalin Mao, Castro, ad nauseum). Yet fuzzy liberal/socialists still desperately cling to their woolly beliefs in the “goodness” of socialism, vs. the “evil” of the free-market that has brought them a standard of living and health care that they couldn’t even dream of in a socialist-fascist ‘paradise’ like Cuba.

Fuzzy liberal-socialists likes to see themselves as a lovers of humanity. They, unlike ‘evil’ capitalists and Republicans, “care” about people. If that’s the case, why would they embrace a philosophy responsible for the murder and torture of over 100 million people in the 20th century, and which continues to murder, torture, and starve to death tens of millions of people in Cuba, soon Venezuala, China, and dozens of other socialist-fascist “paradises” in Africa, Burma, etc., etc.?

Fuzzy socialists claim they want to “help” others, but with WHOSE money? It’s so easy to be “noble” with other people’s money. It’s so easy to “help” others by robbing millions of Americans of their hard-earned money with taxes, to then “redistirbute” (Obama’s marxist term) this stolen money to other looters who keep voting the Obama’s of this world into office.

If fuzzy liberal-socialists want to truly ‘help’ others, why don’t they donate 95% of THEIR personal income and “redistribute” THEIR money to the starving masses of Africa, Cuba, and other socialist/fascist paradises around the world? After all, I’m sure most liberals make far more money than poor people forced to live under a socialist-fascist regime. If liberal-socialists truly want to help humanity, let them PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS ARE, rather than promoting a vicious socialist system that let’s government looters take the earnings from productive average Americans to “redistribute” to welfare mothers, millions of illegal aliens, and hundreds of other special-interest groups who never earned that handout money?

Most of our well-fed liberal-socialists don’t give away all THEIR money to the poor and downtrodden in Africa or Appalachia, do they? So where is their true love for humanity and those less fortunate than themselves? Or are they simply vicious hypocrites who presume they have the right to spend OTHER people’s money so they can boast that they are lovers of humanity?

The really “bad” robber-barrons of the late 19th century were the same as the corporations taking handouts and subsidies today. They were in league with, and depended on government contracts and handouts to gain them special monopoly privilages to destroy their competition. The classic example were the the railroads that created a near-monopoly in California and other western states in the last half of the 19th century.

These railroad corporations got Congress to give them monopolies for railroad freight and agricultural product freight. In league with corrupt state and Federal government regulators, they were able to EXCLUDE other railroads from competing with them. After they got their government-created monopolies set up, they then proceeded to gouge farmers on freight rates, hence gaining the hatred of farmers and small business owners, and earning the name of  ”robber barrons”.

He beat the competition with his competence and by giving farmers and other shippers a superb railroad with fair shipping prices. Moreover, he HAD to give farmers fair-market shipping prices, because he had fierce competition by other railroads. And that is the primary point here. Fierce free-market competition protects consumers. Government-created monopolies are the true “robber-barrons.”

Let’s talk about another so-called “robber-barron” and his “evil” accomplishments, John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller, due to his superb efficiency as a businessman and oil producer and refiner, managed to reduce the price of kerosene (used to light lamps at night before we had electric lights), from about $1.50 a gallon to less than 30 cents a gallon by the 1920′s.

The vast majority of Americans were now able to afford cheap kerosene to light their lamps at night, so they didn’t have to go to bed in the dark after the sun went down, or depend on candles, or (horror of horrors) whale oil, almost making whales an endangered species.

Gee, it seems that besides Rockefeller giving most Americans the ability to read books at night, work at night indoors, and stay up at night with cheap kerosene fuel, he also saved the whales (eco-freaks rejoice!). That’s really evil. That’s besides literally creating the oil and refining industry that we have today that employs millions of Americans, lights their houses at night, drives their cars, refrigerators, and iPods. Yes, what an evil “robber-barron” he was.

A more modern classic example of a true government-created “robber-barron” was the stranglehold monopoly on long-distance telephone service held by AT&T for over 20 years. WHY did AT&T have a monopoly where they could charge customers $1.50 a minute for long-distance calls, where now, after the AT&T monopoly was broken up, fierce competition has driven down the price of long-distance calls to less than 10 cents a minute? It was because Federal government regulators GAVE them that monopoly by legally forbidding other competitors.

The same goes today for the US Post Office. They are a government-created monopoly on 1st class mail service, and the Federal government has SHUT DOWN the few competitors over the years who tried to create cheaper, more efficient, competing first-class delivery service.

Yet fuzzy socialists out there, who probably every day use their Blackberry or iPods created by the “evil” capitalists at Microsoft or Apple, unhappily continue to mouth their Marxist college professors’ rhetoric, and attack this straw-man of the free-market called “robber-barrons” to prove the “evil” of the unfettered free-market.

But in fact, they condemn not unfettered capitalism as it could and should be, but the mongrel “mixed” socialist economy we have today in America, the hybrid monster of government corruption and government regulators in league with corrupt corporations who are eager for government subsidies, handouts (does the word TARP come to mind?), and “partnerships.”

This mongrel, quasi- socialist/fascist system we now have in America, is NOT free-market capitalism, but simply a half-way house to the final abyss of a socialist/fascist America, an America I don’t think that even fuzzy socialists will like, once we get there.

Fuzzy socialists are always slamming the free-market (meaning economic freedom), yet every day they personally benefit from this free-market they so blithly attack. Let them turn on a light switch, and they immediately get light in their living rooms. Let them go to a local gas station, and they easily get fuel to drive their  cars. WHERE do fuzzy socialists think they get these wonderful things that allow them to live with electric lights, rather than by candle light, and have the luxury and freedom of a car driven by gasoline taken from the Arabian desert and brought conveniently to their local gas station?

They get all these marvelous benefits of their easy life from the “evil” capitalists who bring them all these wonderful goods and services. Have fuzzy socialists ever seen videos of the streets, and cars running around Havana today? Cuba looks like a time-warp from the 1950s. Not an ounce of progress, new buildings, new cars, or a better life for its citizens. It’s as if Castro’s socialist “paradise” stopped the clock of human progress in Cuba, as it has. Is THIS what fuzzy Socialists truly want for themselves and THEIR families and children in America?

Besides going to Cuba to test out the socialized-medicine paradise there, perhaps fuzzy socialists should travel back in time a few hundred years before we HAD those “evil” free-market capitalists they call “robber barrons.” Let them risk dying at average age 47 instead of the average age of 79 that Americans die today, because the “evil” capitalists at our supermarket chains, pharmaceutical companies, and water-treatment corporations gave us fresh, abundant food, antibiotics, and sanitary drinking water.

Let them live in a log cabin that they light with candles or whale oil at night. Let them have to risk their lives to hunt for food, instead of so conveniently going to their local supermarkets for milk and bread. Let them ride their cows or horses a hundred miles to town, rather than getting in their shiny cars that take them to their shiny city restaurants in a few minutes.

I went to college many years ago, when our colleges were not so completely filled to the brim with Marxist college professors who kept repeating the scary bedtime story of “robber barrons” and “evil” capitalists. So luckily I managed to get an education without too much socialist propaganda.

In that education, and subsequently, I learned that there’s very little difference between a socialist and a fascist. If fuzzy Socialists ever learned true historical facts, they might find out that the NAZI party stood for “National SOCIALIST” party of Germany. Yes, horror of horrors, the Nazis were primarily socialists, with a national German twist. They were for complete government control of all industries. So are socialists. They were for heavy, progressive income taxes, the same as socialists and Communists. They claimed that the individual must sacrifice himself to the “Fatherland”.

They espouse the same anti-human philosophy that has been responsible for murdering over 100 million people in the 20th century (by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, ad nauseum). Yet fuzzy Socialists still cling to their woolly beliefs in the “goodness” of Socialism, vs. the “evil” of the free-market that has brought them a standard of living and health care they couldn’t even dream of in the socialist or socialist-fascist paradises in Cuba or North Korea today.

Fuzzy socialists claim they want to “help” others, but with WHOSE money (not theirs!)? It’s so easy to be “noble” with other people’s money. It’s so easy to “help” others by robbing millions of Americans of their hard-earned money with taxes, to then “redistirbute” (Obama’s marxist term) this stolen money to other fuzzy little looter-socialists who keep voting the Obama’s of this world into office.

If fuzzy socialists wants to truly help “others”, why don’t they donate 95% of THEIR personal income, and “redistribute” THEIR money to the poor starving masses of Africa, Cuba, and other socialist or socialist/fascist countries around the world? After all, I’m sure fuzzy socialists make far more money than these poor people forced to live under a socialist-fascist “paradise.”

If fuzzy socialists truly want to help humanity, let them PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTHS ARE, rather than promoting a vicious socialist system that lets government looters take the earnings from productive average Americans to “redistribute” to every lousy little looter/parasite who thinks the world owes them a living? Do I hear silence out there from our fuzzy socialists? Fuzzy socialists don’t want to give all THEIR money to the poor and downtrodden in Africa? Where is their true love for humanity?
