Government Corruption and Treason

On Taxes, Both Republicans and Democrats Doing the Bidding of Globalist Gangsters

December 13, 2010

Infowars.com - On Sunday, New York Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler accused establishment Republicans of acting like gangsters on taxes.

“The Republican block is saying, like a bunch of gangsters, it’s a nice middle class tax cut — a pity something would happen to it,” Nadler told CBS News on Sunday. “Unless you give the millionaires and billionaires a long-term tax cut, we’re not going to permit the middle class to continue its tax cut.”

The late Leona Helmsley was spot on when she said:

“We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.”

Billionaires don’t pay taxes. They hide their money in charitable and philanthropic foundations and avoid Uncle Sam.

As noted by Bloomberg News, a large percentage of the people Democrats call “ultra rich” are not rich. Most do not even approach earning a million dollars a year. Democrats believe the “ultra rich” make somewhere between $200,000 and $500,000 a year.

“Only 608,000 taxpayers earn between $500,000 and $1 million a year. That leaves a grand total of 315,000 individuals or families that earn more than $1 million a year,” writes Matt Towery.

The tax class under the gun are predominately small business owners, doctors, and small retail and manufacturing entrepreneurs who collectively employ nearly half of the nation’s workforce. Democrats are determined to rob them blind with their taxation and wealth redistribution scheme.

Nadler told CBS the productive class will be looted in order to pay off an astronomical debt created by the government and owed to foreigners and offshore banksters. Nadler said that

“Millionaires’ and billionaires’ tax cut will cost $700 billion added to the deficit over the next ten years, which we can’t afford.”

Nadler accused Republicans of deliberately trying to blow up the national debt so they can later argue that popular entitlement programs — long a target for conservatives — need to be cut in order to prevent a fiscal catastrophe, according to Sahil Kapur, writing for Raw Story.

In order to make this argument, history needs to be sent to the trash dumpster. Republicans have accrued three times the debt of Democrats.

“This demonstrates that the self-applied rubric of ‘fiscal conservative’ is not true for Republican Administration’s unless we invert the accepted meaning of these words,” writes George Giles.

He provides charts showing the profligate ways of establishment Republicans who claim the Democrats are the tax and spenders.

Republicans like stealing your money as much as Democrats do. They are determined to lock your children and grand children into debt slavery for decades to come.

Republicans controlled the House from 1995 until the Democrats took over and Obama ascended to the golden teleprompter. Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation asked some pertinent questions about the Republicans in 2006.

“How many departments were abolished when Republicans controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress? How many agencies? How many spending bills were vetoed? How many pork-barrel projects were jettisoned? How much was federal spending reduced?” writes Laurence M. Vance.

Establishment Republicans like to pretend they oppose Obamacare and will repeal it now that they control the House and have gained seats in the Senate. Due to the fact Americans have poor memory, they were able to use this ruse to win election victories in November.

“The fact that they didn’t repeal anything after they gained control of the Congress in the 1994 election is a long-forgotten thing to most Americans,” Vance notes. “The simple truth is that once in power Republicans not only never reverse the legislative damage done by Democrats, they add to it.”

As the historian of the shadow government, Carroll Quigley, pointed out in his tome, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time:

The “argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy,” including the bankster scheme to imprison the American people in endless debt slavery.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler knows this — and if he doesn’t, he is a blithering idiot. Fact of the matter is that both Republicans and Democrats are hirelings for globalist gangsters. Nadler’s comment is merely more babbling nonsense and is part and parcel of a false right left paradigm designed to distract the sheeple and defuse any meaningful political activism.

Unions: Democrat’s Own Extremists Taking the Local Parties Over?

September 27, 2010

Publius' Forum - Michael Barone, one of media’s sharpest observers of America’s political scene, has noted an interesting trend in Democrat politics: unions are knocking out regular liberal Democrats in America’s big cities. Barone calls it a civil war raging in the Democrat Party.

He points to several big city campaigns in which unions rose up to defeat the “gentry liberals,” as Barone calls them, and have replaced them in primaries with union backed, ultra liberals. For proof Barone points to several races in New York, Maryland, and Washington D.C.

In each there was a split between the public employee unions that do so much to finance Democratic campaigns and the gentry liberals who provide Democratic votes in places like Manhattan, the Montgomery County suburbs of Maryland, and Northwest Washington, D.C. And in each case the public employee unions won.

The most disastrous election result, at least for school children, is the loss of Mayor Adrian Fenty, whose hiring of school chief Michelle Rhee gained accolades from school reformers across the nation and an equal amount of opprobrium from unions. Fenty lost to ultra lib Vincent Gray — a wholly bought union hack — who has promised to dump reformer Rhee and kowtow to all teacher’s union demands.

“Gentry liberals and public employee unions were allies in the Obama campaign in 2008. But now they’re in a civil war in city and state politics,” says Barone.

What is most interesting in all this is the idea of “extremists” in politics. The left is consumed with attacking the Tea Party movement as the right’s extremists taking over the GOP. Yet here we have the exact same thing in reverse happening in the Democrat Party. The Democrat’s most extreme members are gaining power and preparing to push politics in some of our largest cities and our most blue states even further to the extreme left.

The socialists really are killing off the moderate Democrat, not just in Congress as Nancy Pelosi kills the Blue-dogs, but in local politics as unions kill of the conventional liberals and replacing them with their own, bought and paid for candidates.

In a day when nearly every state budget is deeply in the red due to the unearned, overly generous union salaries, benefits, and pensions of their public employees unions, we see these cities doubling down on the failed policies that put them in this position in the first place.

Amusingly, unions seem to think that conventional liberals aren’t attentive enough to union demands. After all these years of Democrats bending over backwards for unions, union demands have grown so extreme that no reform at all will be allowed.

So, while the left may claim that the right is being taken over by its “extremists,” it is the left, rather, that is being taken over by its own worst parts: unions and socialists (one and the same, of course).

Of course, this political direction will drive America’s cities further into despair and poverty as union greed and corruption further empties the treasury into the pockets of thugs and thieves.

The big question is this: how long will Democrats be able to hold onto the cities at this rate? Even as they are gaining power in the big cities, many unions are shying away from criticizing Democrats up for federal elections as reported last week.
