STUNNED!

Posted on Oct 3rd, 2008 by Gypster : Revolutionary Revolutionist Gypster
I am simply stunned about the injustice that was delivered to the American people today with the passage of this bill.

Instead of looting us from behind the scenes, they are now OVERTLY looting.

People, we are witnessing the painful and messy collapse of Vulture Capitalism. In the end, however, I am optimistic that a better system will be put in place, once all of these CROOKS are exposed.

A system that will work FOR the society, to provide an environment of opportunity instead of financial ruin. We must all work for that. The idea of Democracy needs to be SEPARATED from the poisonous idea that capitalism is PART of democracy.

Capitalism, if unchecked becomes a dictatorship or fascism, as we are seeing RIGHT now.

We are at a historical crossroads that, we now have the information age on our side. Things are coming to light as thoughts are put into the global consciousness in the matter of minutes (as I am doing right now), so change will happen sooner and maybe we can finally free ourselves of these jackals.

YES! With the American outrage, the truth will come out about corporate greed, and then the TRUTH about WTO, and the plight of the whole damn world. So, awakening the civil minds of the Americans and others in the “free” world is a good thing, now hopefully we can engage the HEART, which is most important.

Every April 15th the American people are openly looted.  On each paycheck's tax withholdings description a line should be added: Violent theft by elected officials. The idea of collective good is used to destroy individual welfare of every working man and woman in the United States on each paycheck and we are too blind to see it. 

The illusory good of welfare nanny state policies masks the magnitude of shear terrorism such tribute represents.  The ideas of the founding fathers have been undermined by self serving saviors serving up a false ideology of altruism that masks the carnage that such policies actually create. 

Lets make the tax rate 100 percent if we wish to understand this idea of collective betterment.  With zero take home pay it will be much easier to understand the impact of collectivist mentalities.  No one will then bother to work, economic activities will grind to a halt rather than limping along like a wounded duck being bled in a stated attempt to heal it. 

Whats a few hundred billion more?  We have been on the road of Donner Party politics for several decades with one important difference.  We eat our living to feed the dead.  The most productive members of society, the greatest contributors to mankind's welfare are harmed the most to support the least productive.  This bailout is more of the same.  It's throwing a doggy biscuit to the dog that craps on the carpet while kicking the dog that does tricks.  We reward failure.  Man being a rational animal learns quickly to fail for the reward. 

Just a thought why not have a taxpayer bailout?  We reward failure why not success? Let's borrow 1600 billion and give it to the people who didn't borrow beyond their means, to the banks that demanded adequate collateral, and the financial institutions that do not have problems.  And as an economic stimulus to get our country rolling let's repeal taxes for one year.  It seems only fitting that we reward success at least twice as well as failure.

Just a thought.

It's all just a thread in the woven cloth of their deceptions…
