The States Right to go Broke

The Fat Cat agenda to starve the government is now in full swing. They want to cut 100 billion dollars across the board. The only exceptions would be defense and social security. Instead of the rich paying their fair share of taxes they want everyone else to suffer. These greed mongers just voted to extend tax cuts for the one percent of wealthiest Americans. It is incredible to think that school children will have to suffer so rich Fat Cats can buy some more useless trinkets. These robber barons don't provide jobs with their extra cash, they just buy new foreign sports cars so their kids can drive to private school in style. They want the states to pick up the slack in revenue. My state Ohio just voted in an anti-union, anti-poor, governor whose main way to get money is to rape the environment with hydrolic fracturing. Ohio has been so mismanaged by Republicans screaming privatize everything that we will never make a comeback. This is all due to a easily led stupid voting public.

The Origin of the Specials

What makes the rich Fat Cat so special? Money, obviously. What is money? A means to an end. Does it matter how the money was acquired? No. Everyman is mesmerized by the lure of vast amounts of money. Just look at casino's and state lotto's. The odds of winning big at these follies are astronomical. Everyman still dumps his money into these pits, in hopes of instant wealth. The acquisition of wealth brings with it the false premise, that he or she who is wealthy must be special. In the rare instance where an Everyman wins millions in some state lotto, he or she becomes instantly special. Especially with long lost relatives. Does instant wealth make you a better person? If you are an alcoholic spouse abuser and you win millions you just become an alcoholic spousal abuser who can afford a liver transplant.

Money does not endow a person with a more compassionate sense of duty to humanity. In the world of the mega-rich, the pursuit of more money is the only sense of duty. What do the mega-Fat Cats do with their overabundance of wealth? Create jobs? They buy gold infused shower curtains, spend millions on parties, yachts, more cars than they can possibly drive in a lifetime, own multiple houses and jewels. I say tax them at the same rate they were taxed when Dwight Eisenhower was president. They say, give us more tax breaks. Come on, we're special.

Monsters Among Us

One of the consequences of living a self centered technology driven society, is that we distance ourselves from the reality that monsters walk among us. There are always two sides to everything. Instant communication is great and saves lives. Constant mean spirited drivel does not. There is a perpetual chaotic informational hum all around us. We encase ourselves in our own little electronic worlds at the risk of losing parts of our humanity. It is comforting for all of us to seek out like-minded ideas and the people that supposedly think like we do. Sometimes people will allow this search for intellectual companionship to lead them to disaster. The need to feel accepted is universal. Someone who is constantly rejected will still seek acceptance even if it just a cold electronic hum. In a free society, such as ours, access to ideas is there for everyone. Saints and monsters use the same internet. The well balanced as well as the skewed and tilted can find intellectual soul mates. In light of the recent tragedy in Arizona, there will be much hand-wringing but the real truth is the genie will never return to the bottle.

Trojan Cats

Just what is a Trojan Fat Cat?

Why it is a Republican congressman pretending to work for the common man when in reality he is only working for the rich.

During the recent tax battle did you notice how dying Fire-Fighters compensation had to be paid for but tax cuts for the super wealthy did not? Un-employment extensions during the holidays were bartered about while the Fat Cats salivated over the cut in estate taxes. A Fat Cat Republican dressed up as a Tea Bagger everyman is still a Fat Cat Republican. According to these compassionate Benedict Arnolds, we can't afford fairness in health care because it would cost the insurance companies too much money. Why is everyman so stupid?

Republicans just play to your fears and prejudices and you throw wide the gages and let the Trojan Cats in Congress. Republicans scream about job loss and job creation the whole time they are sending your job to China. The Republican party has misdirected the American everyman they should change their log from an elephant to a magicians rabbit. Next time you get ready to vote ask your Republican candidate how many jobs his business contributers sent to China.
