Its time to ask again, When is Enough, Enough, and when will the people realize they are Strong

[Drew Richards]

How in this day and age could Politicians blatantly ignore the real Sources and Solutions to the Financial Crisis in our Nation, and then Declare War on their own People?

How could 90% of all News Sources seem to be in concert and collusion with this dismantling of the Middle Class?

How could WE allow our elected officials strip us of most of our Constitutional Rights and Privileges and then elect more of these Megalomaniacs who's grand Ideals are to finish off our Economy and force us all to live with NO Rights, Privileges or Minimum Wage?

Make no Mistake, THIS is their ultimate goal...Absolute Rule, To Rule us as an Oligarchy with Absolute Control over Policy, Rights and Wages...For All Time.

Where are the Champions of the Constitution and of WE THE PEOPLE?

Once you start looking at the Historical Progression of the "New" Republican Party and the Third Way Democrats it's not to hard to see...

Of the 10 commandments and 7 deadly Sins none is worse than Covet ness or GREED.

It is said (First Epistle to Timothy in the New Testament 1 Timothy 6:10)
The Love of Money is the Root of All Forms of Evil. I now believe that it's true.

Robert Reich recently pointed this out in rather stark terms:
"Republicans would rather go after Teachers and other Public Employees than have us look at the pay and taxes of Large Corporations, Wall Street Traders, Private-Equity Managers, and Heads of Hedge Funds -- many of whom wouldn't have their jobs today were it not for the giant Taxpayer-supported bailout".
"The deficit primarily has been caused by two unfunded Wars, Financial Deregulation, huge tax breaks to people who don't need it, the Wall Street bailout and an Insurance-company-written Medicare Part D prescription drug program".

"This year 2011 Exxon Mobil, the most profitable corporation in the history of the world, is not paying a nickel in federal income taxes, despite having made $19 billion last year".

"And they are not alone, General Electric, Bank of America and Citigroup to name a few; and many other major Corporations are enjoying TAX FREE profits...
In 2005, one-quarter of Corporation -- large Corporations in America making Trillion's in revenue didn't pay a NICKEL in taxes."

In 2011 it is one-third of Corporations at an estimated tax revenue loss of 4-11 Trillion Per Year depending on whose estimate numbers you use.

2012 12-34 Trillion...again depending on who's numbers you use.

And still Republicans want to reduce the Tax even more on Large Corporations...

And still Wall Street gives out Bonuses with Our Bailout Money...

But Services for the Poor must be cut and Workers Salaries and Rights must be stripped?

It's now 2013 and the looting of the Nation is still going on with no consequences from our government or the people at large.

WHERE WERE YOU?

The Conservatives (of both parties) will tell you that all the country's problems would be solved if only working people of the USA would accept a Lower Standard of Living! they claim that it is UNREALISTIC, for we the American People, to enjoy the Standard of Living we have created over the past 200 years while the rest of the world maintains a lower standard of living...

Strip away all the rhetoric and theory and that's what their arguments really come down to.

I say that is Bull Pucky.

The Country's problems will be solved when we get rid of Tax Loopholes, actually Arrest and Seize Violators (and their assets) of our Financial and Constitutional laws and change Corporate Regulations to demand that all Corporations and the Wealthy pay a equitable amount in State and Federal Taxes.

This evil Oligarchy is attempting to strip the American Citizens Current Standard of Living, Rights of Free Speech, and Rights to Due Process and Collective Bargaining...They are trying to tell you the Financial Collapse is YOUR fault and you must suffer and pay with your Individual Rights, Wealth and Lives.

When will we say Enough?

Migration of 80% of the Wealth is still being flushed to the top 2% of the Populous.

Conservative Congress has again stripped all incentives for Alternative Fuel Sources.

Oil, Gas and Coal still receiving massive Financial Government Subsidies...

Repeated Harassment, Physical Attacks and Murders of Abortion Doctors with no apparent Law Enforcement Protection or Investigations...

Corruption and Collapse of Securities and Mortgage Markets. Boom!

Corporate Birch Society, Republicanism, third way Democrats and Dominionism create allegedly rumored Domestic Socio-Economic Divisions and Diversions.

Attacks on segments of Society. Illegal's and the Poor (Secure our boarders cry) To make people forget the war, its Expense and Domestic Insolvency.

The blatant stacking of the Justice System with unqualified Bush jr. appointees. (why didn't we get rid of them all in 2008?)

Lack of any Prosecution of Individuals for illegal War Justification and Torture.

Lack of Prosecution for Rape and Theft in a Battle Zone.

Attacks on Middle Class, Class Warfare.

Verbal Attacks, Salary and Benefit cuts on Working Class Employees and their Collective Bargaining Rights.

Threats of the use of Police to arrest our own Citizens legally protesting.

Threats of the use of Military force against our own Citizens legally protesting.

Union Busting.

Reclassifying Rape

Reclassification of Pregnancy Miscarriage as Murder.

Stripping of Citizens Constitutional Protections.

Attempt to STEAL, Gut and End our Unemployment Insurance.

Elevation of Corporations Rights OVER the Rights of Individual Citizens (Citizens United Decision)

Removal of the Fairness Doctrine in Broadcasting.

Potential Total Control, Consolidation and Manipulation of the Media.

BLOCKED AND DEFUNDING OF:
Unemployment Insurance Fund
Worker's Compensation Insurance Fund
Universal Medical Care
Public Option
Medicare for poor
Medicaid for poor
Planned Parenthood
NEA
SEC
EPA
FCC
USDA
FDA
CFPB
DOI
DOL

All these Services and Agencies Mandates are to keep us safe and to lend a helping hand from Poverty...

Threats of Forced Shutdown of Our Government if Conservatives don't get their way...

EVIL is not one large entity but a collection of countless small depravities foisted on your persons and dignity by greedy, selfish, frightened little Men.

Living under the Hyper-Religious, Corporate, Republican Dominionist, Third Way Democrat's Order of Greed... you have traded the enrichment of vision and innovation for the gray fog of mediocrity and obedient subservience, the fertile inspiration of striving and growth, for the mindless stagnation and slow decay of your Rights and Freedoms.

You have traded your Rights and Freedom not even for a place to sleep for you and your family but worse, you have traded your Rights and Freedom for the spoken empty feelings and words of this Oligarchy that you deserve a place, but only if you bow to their God of GREED and are deemed worthy of their regard...otherwise... hurry up and die to reduce the Surplus Population.

No Society can be more important than the Individuals that compose that Society or else you ascribe Supreme Importance, not to Man, but to the Large Corporations, the Wealthy or the Fanatically Religious, to execute any notion that strikes their fancy or whim, at a never ending cost of your lives.

REASON and REALITY are the only means to just laws; Covet ness, GREED, Mindless Wishes or Blind Religious Faith, if given Sovereignty, become Deadly Masters of us All.

Surrendering your ability to REASON and RATIONALIZE to Blind Faith, Religious Indoctrination, Conservatism, Republicanism, Corporatism, Dominionism or in trust to these selfish arrogant MEN to govern us wisely, sanctions their use of force to Enslave you, Degrade you and Murder you.

You ALL have the power to decide how you will live your lives and to determine the path of your future.
This is your life and the lives of your fellow Citizens to live as you choose, or be subjugated to nothing but degradation and death as slaves to the Ruling Class.

This is what the Oligarchy of Conservatives, Republicans, Third Way Democrats, Blue Dogs, the Religious Right, the Wealthy and Large Corporations are taking away from you LIFE...

And this is what the Oligarchy offers all of you...DEATH.

These actions stretch back nearly 30 years, The New Republicans, the New Religious Right, Third way Democrats, Large Corporations and the Wealthy bury them from your consciousness allegedly through misdirection and propaganda, and it stays buried until you yourselves dig it up. They fear our collective knowledge of the atrocities perpetrated in their name or in the name of their God against their own People.

And they have a right to Fear,

Because there is a Whole Nation of People that Believe in Mankind's ability to Reason and Rationalize and still have Faith in their God, the Constitution, and the Founding of our Government on a Self-Ruled Citizen Government... rather than being ruled by a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy of the Religious and Wealthy.

This Oligarchy of Dominionism, Republicanism, Conservatism and Corporatism are doing their best to kill the Planet, Themselves and to Enslave Us.

This Oligarchy doesn't care about Life, so WE must,

We have to be better than they are in our Regard for One Another, the Planet and even our Regard for Those Who Oppose Us.

We have to be better at securing the Vote and maintaining the control of our Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of Government away from these petty greedy little Men; so that Rational Laws and Reason are always of Ultimate Importance in Governing the Nation as a Whole.

So that they know that REASON and RATIONALITY Rule our lives and our Nation...not Greed, Wealth, Power by Force of Arms or Religious Pedantry.

We MUST reclaim our Country and Reaffirm that the Constitution is the Supremacy of the Law for our Country and ALL it's Peoples.

We must choose Life.

1. While I do not consider that I am intelligent enough to respond to this thread,

it is about to slip off the first page without any response and that would be if not criminal at least negligent.

I fully intend to copy your thread so that I may re-read it often in the hopes that the points contained will imprint and not be forgotten (sadly a fact of my life).

It is my hope that you will post more often. And thank you for this one.

2. By design the people are kept divided and at war with each other

The lies of the media that we can all become rich, the lies that justice is an American virtue and the basis of out identity, the lies that the government is yours of you and for you..These are pushed daily in the news in music at the movies and even in the magazines and newspapers we read.

We as the people have been set to fight among each other , to quibble for the scraps from the Corporations and the MICs table. And told that we are only getting the just rewards of our own sloth and lack of drive to "make it". Gordon Gecko is the one true God and we apostates that reject his notions are misguided and idealistic dreamers and deserving of our plight.

3. I'm just waitin on the day they finally admit their God is the Wall Street Bronze Bull (Golden Calf)
