Unemployment Map January 2007 – May 2010

The democrats took control of both the House  of Representatives and the Senate in January, 2007 and the White House in January 2009.  click on the map below to see what their liberal, progressive policies have done to create jobs between January 2007 and May 2010.

It is a sad day when my local newspaper creates a story on one of the most  important issues, in OUR TIME,  that have no basis in fact, that are promoted by progressive  ideologues  that have no idea what they are talking about other than their environmental focused agenda.    http://www.marinij.com/sanrafael/ci_15535497

The  Saturday, July 17, 2010 publication of the Marin Independent Journal headlined its “TOP STORY”  on page one:  “Coping with doom, gloom”,  written by Richard Halstead,  the IJ writer for business, health care and politics.  Mr. Halstead’s writing is about   Andre Angelantoni who has a company called “Post Peak Living” who “sees a future where”:

  • “global warming”
  • “dwindling oil supplies”

will result in:

  • “spiraling unemployment”
  • “food shortages” and
  • “rising poverty”
  • the beginning of the decline of our civilization
  • our national unhealthiness, as medical accessibility declines, will create a huge humanitarian crisis. 
  • People having to have to get used to people dying of things they used to die of in the past”
  • decline in  oil production  re-arranging our society much faster than climate change, while I (Angelantoni) was focused for years on global warming.
  • All the oil that can be extracted from tar sands and oil shale, at a higher price, will not be ramped up fast enough to compensate
  • unemployment reaching depression levels and continue past that
  • oil price shocks and climate change which will result in less  food production worldwide in a big way this decade
  • “fewer people seeking higher education because there will be no jobs”. “Once this contraction begins, you don’t need all these educated people.”

Another crisis monger is Raven Gray, President of  TRANSITION  US, who is based in Sebastopol, just up the road from Angelantoni.

________________________________________________________________

I would like to educate them as to the basic foundation of their beliefs:

  • GLOBAL WARMING:  The worlds leading scientists have told the worlds public the science of global warming has been affirmed by the scientific community.  This is simply not true.  Scientific data was manipulated by scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research  Unit in Norwich, England to make sure the final conclusion was to prove that global warming was a fact. 
  • The reality is that The “global warming'”    hoax  has  been perpetrated by the progressives as a means to purposely cause a shortage of energy and oil supplies.
  •  https://america-wake-up.com/2009/12/22/climategate-science-is-dying/
  • The “dwindling    oil   supplies”  you refer to is false.  The progressive liberal energy programs (or lack of a program) are causing dwindling energy supplies in the US.   A current example is Obama shutting down 100% of all new drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.  All 33 rigs will shortly be moved elsewhere, tens of thousands of permanent jobs and tens of  millions of barrels of oil  production will be lost;   caused by OBAMA,  ON PURPOSE!!    Within the domestic United States  there are  more than 10  times the oil and natural gas supplies than  in the middle east alone.  These facts are documented and are not debateable. 

_________________________________________________________

Thus, because the PREMISE is false and has no basis in reality;  all the future projections (ABOVE)  of Mr. Angelantoni and Gray are scare tactics that they hope will provide them an audience so they can make a living off this nonsense.

 ________________________________________________________

Angelantoni, Gray & Halstead, & Halstead’s employer, the Marin Independent  Journal,  are obviously big supporters of    the environmental movement.  The environmentalists and the progressives don’t give a hoot about the environment and  are destroying capitalism in America.  

https://america-wake-up.com/2010/06/16/environmentalists-politicians-do-not-care-about-the-environment-but-about-power-here-is-the-proof/          

  https://america-wake-up.com/2009/10/30/environmentals-are-destroying-america/

I will say that if the progressives, liberals, left and environmentalists are successful in their efforts to:

  1. Continue spreading the false myth of global warming
  2. curtail drilling for oil and natural gas on and off shore
  3. curtail coal  & nuclear sources as the best  low-cost sources of electricity
  4. prevent a continuation of the Bush tax cuts
  5. violate the US Constitution every day
  6. increase government spending programs
  7. increase taxes
  8. pass a cap and trade tax bill
  9. prevent a 100% reversal of the Obama 2300 page health care bill
  10. prevent a 100% reversal of the Obama 2300 pg financial reform bill
  11. keep control of the House of Representatives & Senate in November
  12. divert water resources to the fish rather than the farmers

Many of Mr. Angelantoni’s will in fact happen and the US will quickly be on the road to total disaster. 

The irony here is that all these progressive policies which will cause all these terrible things to happen are promoted by Angelantoni, Gray,  most at The Independent Journal, the democratic congress  and the Obama administration.  These people are ideologues and are economic illiterates. 

ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE TO QUICKLY  TURN AROUND THE ECONOMY, INCREASE JOBS AND BECOME 100% ENERGY INDEPENDENT IS TO DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE  OF ITEMS 1 THROUGH 12 ABOVE.   The defeat of the progressives in the House and Senate on November 2, 2010 should be the first step to reverse all this Angelantoni & Gray doom and gloom.   the permanent solution can then occur in November 2012.

So, Mr Angelantoni and Gray,  if you want the nightmare you say is coming to really happen, continue voting for the progressives.  If you want energy independence, prosperity for America, jobs for everyone who wants one, less poverty, no food shortages,  a resurgence of America (“not the beginning of our decline”),  vote the progressives out,  encourage conservative values  and put sanity back in Washington DC.

European Versus US Taxes

Take a look at the current European tax rates below which range from 59.6% to 83%.  The European VAT tax (Government Sales Tax) ranges from 16% to 25%.  The US has no VAT tax, but the States have their sales tax or their own VAT tax. 

Don’t think this European tax nightmare can happen in the US?  It already is.

With the current Obama and liberal congress spending binge in process,  the only way to pay for this increased spending and federal debt will be to instigate a National VAT tax. 

What we propose is the 100%  elimination of the income tax and the implementation of a national flat tax or VAT tax of approximately 16% to 17% which would completely replace the income tax. 

  • The cost to maintain this would be nil
  • The Internal Revenue Service could be eliminated
  • Billions spent on computation of income tax returns would be completely eliminated
  • The elimination of the income tax would stimulate enormous economic development and job creation
  • The tax system would finally be fair.  The lower the consumer spending the lower the tax.  The higher the consume spending, the higher the tax. 
  • The rich would consume more and pay more taxes.  Those less well off would consume less and pay a lower tax.
  • The promotion of class warfare by the progressives would be reduced if not eliminated.
  • Everyone would pay some tax.   Currently 47% of the people pay zero tax and actually receive money from the government; and the top 10% of earners pay 71% of the taxes; and the top 25% of earners pay 87% of federal taxes.
  • Is it any wonder there are not jobs.  Those that create economic growth and jobs have no money left over after paying taxes to create new jobs.  Did anyone ever get hired by a poor person?
  • This would make EVERYONE concerned about keeping government spending in check so their taxes would not go up.

Current European tax rates: 

United Kingdom                                                                         

Income Tax:  50%                                                                                 
VAT:  17.5%   TOTAL:  67.5%

Germany
Income Tax:  45%

VAT:  19%      TOTAL:  64%

France
Income Tax:  40%
VAT:  19.6%   TOTAL:  59.6%

Greece
Income Tax:  40%
VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  65%

Spain
Income Tax:  45%
VAT:  16%      TOTAL:  61%

Portugal
Income Tax:  42%
VAT:  20%      TOTAL:  62%

Sweden
Income Tax:  55%
VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  80%

Norway
Income Tax:  54.3%
VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  79.3%

Netherlands
Income Tax:  52%
VAT:  19%      TOTAL:  71%

Denmark
Income Tax:  58%
VAT:  25%      TOTAL:  83%

Finland
Income Tax:  53%
VAT:  22%      TOTAL:  75%

If you’ve started to wonder what the real costs of “socialism” are going to be, once the full program in these United States hits your wallet, take a look at the table.  As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively from tax revenues!  They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions.   Greece has reached the point where its debt is so huge it is in imminent danger of defaulting.  That is the reason the European economic community has intervened to bail them out.  If you’re following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece .

The United States is now heading right down the same path.  The “VAT” tax in the table is the national sales tax Europeans pay.  Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the administration proposing after the fall elections.  The initial percentage in the United States isn’t going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe.  Guess what, the current outrageous numbers in Europe didn’t start out as outrageous either.  They started out as miniscule—right around the 1% or 2% where they will start out in the United States.  Magically however, they ran up over the years to where they are now.  Expect the same thing here. 

It’s time to rethink the ‘American Dream’ idea:  It is the notion that with hard work and perseverance, anybody can get ahead economically here.  Do you think that can ever happen with tax rates between 60% and 80%?  Think again.  With the government taking that percentage of your money, your life will be exactly like life in Europe .  You will never be able to buy a home.  You will never buy a car.  You will never send your children to college.  Let’s not shuffle the battle cry of the socialists under the rug either.  It’s always the same cry.  “Equalize” income.  “Spread the wealth” to the “poor” (whoever they are).  “Level” the economic playing field.  Accomplish that and everything will be rosy.

It’s time to take a really hard look at reality.   Greece is a perfect example.  Despite the “socialism” system that has ruled this country for decades, with a 65% tax rate, they are drowning in public debt, would have defaulted without hundreds of billions in bailout money, and still… 20% of their population lives in “poverty.”  What has all that “socialism” money bought, besides ultimate power for the politicians running the show?  Do you think these people are “free”?  They’re not.  They are slaves to their economic “system.”

People, we are at a tipping point in America .  We all know it.  Turn this around right now or your grandchildren will be massing in the streets of this once-great country, just as the people of Greece now are.  Economic slavery is slavery, just the same.  Carefully and deeply consider what it takes to throw off the yoke of slavery, once it takes hold and settles over your neck.

This is Your Lucky Day

Is this your Lucky day?

http://www.flixxy.com/lucky-day.htm

The Democratic Party has become the party of Marxist Tyranny.  The Rule of Law and the Constitution mean nothing to them.

Elena Kagan, a nominees for the Supreme Court, can not answer the question:  “Does the Congress of the United States have the power to tell United States citizens what to eat every day?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSoWGlyugTo&feature=player_embedded#!

And when, Soto Mayor, who was appointed to the Supreme Court a year ago can not answer the question:  “Does a U S citizen have the right to personal self defense?”

https://america-wake-up.com/2009/08/24/24/

We definitely have a crisis in FULL BLOOM when those ON or ABOUT TO BE   on the Supreme Court can not even answer a simple question, the obvious answer, which is guaranteed by our rights under the United States Constitution.

Who Am I? Does History Repeat?

Try and guess who I am.

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country.  I was not his only child.  He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.  Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.  It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30’s then with help behind the scenes; I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40’s.  They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.  That reinforced my conceit.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy.   I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence was my views on the country’s economy.  I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.  It was the free market, banks & corporations.   I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine “A People’s Campaign” and that sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people ‘hope’, together we could change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, and ignorant to include “persecuted minorities” like the Jews.   My true views were not widely known and I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.

I’m glad they didn’t. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

WHO AM I?

I am Adolf Hitler

Who were you thinking of?

Scary isn’t it?

Obama Columbia Classmate Speaks Out

 

 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system

Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

— Universal health care.   The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

— Cap and trade.   Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”

— Make Puerto Rico a state.    Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

— Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants.     Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

— Stimulus and bailouts.    Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.

— Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators.    Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.
