The tea party is attempting to turn people against our Constitutional-based democratic-based country, attempting to destroy our U.S. Constitution which is described by former Israeli prime minister, Menachim Begin, as one of the greatest documents ever written. The Constitution begins with “We the people…” The tea party wishes to change it to, “We the corporate monopolists…” I refuse to accept that this nation is a “republic,” as die-hard Republicans try to claim. It is NOT a republic, it is a democracy of “We the people…” as stated in the first line of the U.S. Constitution.
Attempting to tear apart “We the people…” is a method of “divide and conquer” so as to tear apart all the accomplishments of Teddy Roosevelt and his “trust-busting” which resulted in one of the greatest nations on earth. These tea party people and the Republicans who support them suck. The suckers are those who accept without thinking this attitude to tear apart our government. This U.S. government has proved successful over many years and needs to be bolstered.
The white racist suckers who take sides with the treasonous tea party are also divisive, playing into the hands of a fascist group of people who promote greed, love of money, and anarchy. They are wrong.
To be positive, I have positive solutions not based on ideology. But first, this is the damage being done by the treasonous tea party and their billionaire / millionaire friends (Koch brothers, Rove, Limbaugh, Scott, Walker, Armey, Cheney, Bush family … and others).
1. Removal of the long-term investments in real estate, due to de-regulation of banking and other financial institutions (by Reagan, Bush, and others). This once provided opportunities for the Middle class, rather than the caste system imposed by these wealthy pigs who are supported by dumb ignorant Middle Class people who have no wisdom. A home in 1988 could go up only 1% in 8 years. That was good because one had to wait for the long-term. But layoffs by greedy tea party type pigs resulted in losing a long-term investment. Then, the de-regulation of banks encouraged a fiasco in finance between 2002 and 2006 – four years. The price of real estate became a short-term investment, rising 125%. Yet, people who lost out STILL will vote Republican. What dumb jerks, because it was the Republicans who CAUSED it – de-regulation – and did nothing about it when the market moved to slum lords who could “flip” houses.
2. CEOs began pilfering the nest eggs of Americans, claiming “there is no money for pensions.” That is the talk of hoodlums and goons and pigs. There IS money for pensions, but these pensions were used to increase the gap between CEOs and the lowest paid employees by more than 1000% between 1974 and today. There IS money for pensions, but the CEOs have become a bunch of deceptive liars – and CREEPS. They forced the average worker into 401(K) plans – NOT DESIGNED FOR RETIREMENT PLANS. They forced the average worker into a risky market while the CEOs sat by in comfort of their HUGE bonuses which were stolen from employee pensions, even when the BASTARD CEOs failed at their business. And the boards of directors of these perverted corporate leaders went right along. Just read Ellen Schultz’s book, RETIREMENT HEIST.
3. George Bush, traitor as resident of the White House, trashed parts of Medicare and AARP went along. The man quotes from Nazi propaganda minister, Goebbels, twisting information and mocking and scoffing at those who expose the truth – like a good Hitler propaganda master, with whom Bush’s grandad HELPED to attain power in Germany. FASCIST dictators, not men of the people.
4. With Medicare gutted, people have less for retirement. People laid off after 55 pay the highest for health insurance, but are unable to secure jobs – as the CEO pigs scrap their pension plans. And now the tea party assholes wish to remove the pools which COULD reduce the cost of insurance to people in this age group whom they have screwed (unless they are brats with lots of money). Nice opportunity which only Ebeneezer Scrooge could agree. These bastards attempt to turn the fiction of Charles Dickens and Ayn Rand, too, into reality. Go f*** off, you bastards. Someone go for their deep pockets, please! Bastard snots who don’t even recognize who or what (the government) helped them ACHIEVE what they did. Bastards. Low life scum with lots of money. Even a fiery hell is too good for them.
5. Tea party attempts to scrap Medicare, Social Security, and Obamacare. This after removing all capitalist market abilities (pensions and long-term investments in real estate) for the Middle Class to seek opportunities. These people are attempting to carve a caste system in America into stone. And what do so many people do? They go along blindly, rather than object.
6. A former jerk of a Republican senator advertises the biggest screwing Americans can receive – to replace long-term investments in real estate. The “Reverse Mortgage” is designed and embraced by tea party brats and snots to put people in their places in old age, never allowing children to receive a return on the investment their parents made in a long-term investment. The banks own those homes in “Reverse Mortgage,” so therefore this also makes it more difficult for young people to obtain housing. These homes are passed to slum lords with the ability to monopolize and control the prices of homes and RENT. F*** them. Screw them. Someone file a class-action lawsuit against all these people, please!
And to the Democrats. Stop with this stupidity of “American Dream.” STOP IT. Get down to the brass tacks of what is really happening. Speak to the American people who are enterprising people, you dumb jerks in the Democratic Party leadership. Speak to the ones who are like Congressman Patrick Murphy. The DREAM makes it sound like people are “ENTITLED” to this. Dead wrong. Nobody is entitled to these things unless they INVEST and receive a RETURN on the investments. Get down to the brass tacks of talking about INVESTMENTS and RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. A major financial enterprise (Charles Schwab?) once ran advertisements about gaining money “the old fashioned way; we earn it!” The tea party has REMOVED these things from the “common human,” within the capitalist system and this is wrong. They pit people against a government which COULD protect them in this capitalist economy. People are stupid jerks who follow the line of reasoning of a bunch of scoundrels called “tea party.” Democrats do NOTHING to challenge these notions. Just continue with “the American Dream.” F*** the American dream and do something different with your approach, you jerks.
The man who defined capitalism (not socialism), following an 18th-Century Scottish banking crisis about on par with the Bush one in 2008 (created by the Republican de-regulation of a decade or so earlier) was a Christian man expecting business people to “naturally” regulate themselves. But after this banking crisis, Adam Smith changed his mind. He noticed so many of these Christians were actually hypocrites and determined there should be some regulation. The tea party quotes this man in claiming no regulation. They are wrong. They are dead wrong.
And to the dumb ones who follow Karl Marx. Karl Marx was a jerk, too. He blamed capitalism when it was monarchical monopolism which he SHOULD have blamed. So the tea party twists this to their favor, while re-establishing a type of monarchical monopolism, but indeed this system today, given a blessing by a stupid Supreme Court led by a stupid man named Scalia, is a corporatist system no different from monarchical monopolism. It’s also no different from the Soviet and Chinese forms of communism and the hierarchical top-down arrangement of the Roman Catholic Church – from Vatican City.
Democracy takes thinking people who understand civics, not politics. Who understand how a democratic government works. This takes work on the part of the masses. We once had masses who were NOT lazy and would embrace this system. Too many lazy people have poked fun at this system, particularly among my own age group. They are disgusting people and allow the tea party to rape all of us up the ass.
Scalia believes in the Roman republic and has no idea what the American democracy is about. Scalia and his fascist friends endorse the idea of slavery, including the corporatist movement to re-make education in order to create slaves, rather than thinking people who understand a broad array of topics from science, math, engineering, technology, social sciences, to physical education, humanities, arts, and yes, the CIVICS of democracy. These are what education is all about, not the slavery endorsed by colleges with the name, “CAREER.” Education was designed with a pedagogy which prepared for careers AND lifelong learning. Just because a bunch of lazy loudmouth Baby Boomers have decided on their own that education has parts which are irrelevant – this is irrelevant to the design of education. I say to all these jerky SOBs – LAZY ones – to go take a hike and institute their ideas in some third world developing nation, rather than create a lazy one here. Everyone has the slave attitude of being “entitled” to things slaves receive.
Even BS loudmouth artist, Limbaugh, once said, “slaves have it good because they work and someone takes care of them.” The SOB “troll” snotty Limbaugh misses the point of the human spirit. We wish to advance ourselves, no just take care of others. The Chinese COMMUNISTS impose a system whereby, rather than working towards retirement investment – LONG TERM – the young people are told to get a career (as a slave) and take care of their parents. What about the AMERICAN WAY, you dumb bastard, Limbaugh, where we are NOT always dependent on children or others. That we can achieve an independent security. YOU BASTARDS of the FOURTH REICH. GO TO HELL. You bastard remove all abilities for humans in America to achieve a financial independent security and GIVE IT ALL – INDEPENDENT SECURITY – to the top-level snots who worship money. YOU BASTARDS. You destroy something which made America a successful nation – in the name of your stupid f***ing ideology. Screw you.
I have used some language to suggest solutions. But are these rejected due to the language? I never abused the 10 Commandments, but I proposed and supported the ideas of Jesus Christ as he violently demonstrated his anger at deceptive wealthy business people. To summarize my SOLUTIONS (in case you missed them or were not able to pull them out of what I wrote), here I go.
1. Rather than reduce Medicare, cut some of the military budget and provide Medicare from cradle to grave. Put our tax dollars to work for the LIVING, not creating the dead. People in territories like Puerto Rico need to pay into it, or declare independence from the USA.
2. Stop scrapping Social Security and bolster it. Keep it at the same age levels. Force people in territories like Puerto Rico to pay FICA (if they don’t already). If Puerto Rico does not pay it’s fair share, shove them off in their own independent nation.
3. FIle lawsuits against the billionaires who are scrapping our government. Whether that be a class action suit or lawsuits by the government. File a series of lawsuits against Stop the “personal injury” lawsuits which pit the common man and woman against the common man and woman, and direct this dirt against those with deep pockets. Instead of hurting ourselves, hurt those who are truly hurting us.
4. Stop the corporatization of education and health care. These are NOT commodities, they are necessities.
5. Give all stock holders of public-traded companies equal votes, not just the ones at the top with the most money, as we watch those bastard pigs take away from those who invest their money in the company – and they don’t have any conscience what so ever. If they were truly being rewarded due to the same “merit” systems these pigs wish to impose on a new slave class, then this would not be necessary. But these guys have no morals what so ever, figuring they can do anything they wish, like the kings of Europe who felt their power was “heaven sent.” That was BS then and it’s BS now. There is not “divine rights,” you bastards at high levels.
6. Regulate the banking and real estate industries to allow moderate long-term growth in housing prices. This is not a dream. This is not an “entitlement,” either. It is just plain common sense for creating opportunities, rather than the type of lopsided top control like that of Haiti and many banana republics, as well as many developing nations. Corrupt money-worshiping people control these governments – permeated by evil people who perpetuate this crap.
7. Create a system of retirement security for hard-working people to achieve and I guarantee it would cost LESS than the one which has been created with bonuses and golden parachutes for myriad corporate money-sucking pigs and money worshipers. I don’t care how this happens, but the best system would be a national pension system bolstered by 401(K) or 403(B) plans – as originally intended.
8. Stop giving away money in the Social Security system to those who have not contributed or abuse the system with their “disabilities.” Create another fund for these people. Primarily, I speak about immigrants who never contribute. If I go to other nations, I am treated this way. I suggest a United Nations regulation of this aspect (not an international pooled fund). It is not right for some people to come to America’s shores and be given money they have come to believe they are entitled to, but me and others recognize we ARE entitled to this money (because we helped fund it) and also recognize we are NOT entitled to funds in Canada or Britain or other Western nations. Go f***, you people who think you are entitle do our American money. F*** those who abuse it through corruption. Strong words? I resent America being turned into a third world nation, as we accept third world nation people. Perhaps the corrupt leaders in Haiti and other nations need to take care of their own and stop the corruption. NIgeria – stop your f***Ing corruption. Stop it now.
9. Stop blindly funding wars around the globe which the American people and our government DO NOT have the funds to do so. Stop listening to an AWOL jerk like George Bush as he flagrantly spent money which he did not have to spend on wars, funding his friend, Dick Cheney (Halliburton), and other munitions companies with OUR (“We the people…”) funds. STOP IT NOW. I support President Obama’s diplomacy and think he makes a strong leader. F*** those who think he is weak because their opinions are BS.
10. Create an energy-independent America and shed our relations with pigs like Saudi Arabian sheiks. PERIOD. Without our military might, the Saudis would be NOTHING. So make them pay. The Saudi pigs take advantage of this nation, using traitors like the Bush family and Dick Cheney. Stop this BS NOW. Charge Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and other nations with wealthy sheiks for every dollar we lose due to wars in the Middle East. If they don’t pay, withdraw our military support. Make this EVIDENT to the American people, despite a f***Ing media which refuses to expose the truth – supported by the [false] divine right corporatists and Scalia.

Stop the Wealthy Ones of America Who Think only the Little People Pay Taxes – PLUS MORE ISSUES
Dear Editors:
A documentary told us how a small wealthy nation did not have a regressive income tax. Instead, they use a value-added tax (VAT) and property taxes. I was tarnished because I identified, incorrectly, the name of the nation and where it was located. The point about of my writing was about how this nation did not HAVE as many “little people” as the USA does, so it prefers a VAT and property taxes. In other words, this nation is unable to play around with tax deductions and tax credits because it would do them little good. So, this nation uses a VAT instead. Notice that the wealthy in the USA who don’t wish to pay ANY taxes because they have us “little people” in which they can shove taxes down our throats, while getting away with “murder” of not paying taxes at all, as they invest their money elsewhere, probably in this little nation with the VAT.
This needs to stop and a VAT here in the USA, replacing sales taxes AND income taxes, is an answer, because the tax is on anything the producer price index (PPI) addresses, not what the CONSUMER price index (CPI) and income of CONSUMERS (the “little people”) are forced to do, after the union busting of these wealthy people have increased the income gap between wealthy and the rest of us astronomically – more than 1000% increase for those controlling the corporations since the 1970s. (See article in 23 April 2022 Business section of The [Scranton] Times-Tribune , “A widening wealth gap,” for more information about what I am saying).
as for criticism about having the wrong nation, it loses the impact about the point I am trying to make. Perhaps some might say I deserve it because I promote accuracy, truth, and lack of hatred in what the media puts out. On the other side, I can say this. With the destruction of librarian jobs in the media, as I viewed happening over the past 20 years or so, then the problem is not me, the librarian, but the lack of people checking for accuracy. Thus, I view a documentary and attempt to recall the name of the nation, and get immersed in the lack of librarians to check the facts about such a documentary.
For me, too, as a librarian, I find it more difficult to use a reference to video documentaries. With newspapers and magazines, it is in print. Therefore, had I read this information in a print copy like a newspaper or magazine, I am able to go back and confirm what was printed. With this video documentary, I am not able to do this. With technological advances, it is more difficult to do so with digital copies of newspapers, too. Google has become a lousy search engine which goes far from what information / library scientists at Syracuse University and Cornell University developed for natural language searching in the 1970s and 1980s. Google is lousy and most search engines are lousy. Much easier to clip or copy a print copy of a periodical article. Go ahead. Shoot holes in what I say, based on a love of ME, ME, ME – and “it works for ME, ME, ME.” I have given examples with an overview, not just ME, ME, ME. I have experience with digital searching and how lousy I have seen it become today, so it is not about only ME, ME, ME. But about Katzer and Salton of upstate New York and the development of such systems.
The wealthy ones of America have embraced this digital shit, destroyed local control of media, destroyed the jobs of those who research accuracy, truth and lack of hatred. We end up with such wealthy folks going against the very things which developed this nation when my maternal 5th great-grandfather (and many other wealthy folks), during the time of the American Revolution, gave money to the Federal government when it had nothing, “…in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence [defense], promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
Meanwhile, the wealthy of America, with the goons of union-busting, the destruction of the once-sensitive leadership of corporations (i.e., George F. Johnson and Thomas J. Watson) have denied living wages to the “little people” of the USA and work to preserve this by supporting social dissonance with wedge issues and purchasing of votes when there are those who are not gay, black, Latino, Jew. Therefore these folks are ME, ME, ME oriented and don’t wish to support human equality and human justice with “liberty for all.” In other words, these “little people” say, “I’m not gay, black, Latino, Jew, so why should I care?” Wedge issue and wealthy money behind it, in the Republican “Nationalist” group. (Nationalist = Nazi).
The next time you read that some part of what I say, having nothing to do with my main point, has an inaccuracy, THINK, THINK, THINK… about the overall point of what I write. Don’t shoot holes when the main point is important to consider. THINK… about the destruction of librarian and library research jobs. You certainly would not consider removing jobs of number crunchers and lawyers, would you? The Nazis of Germany were given a slap of sarcasm by the song, “Money Makes the World Go Around” – written by a gay man. The wealthy pigs of America take the song seriously, along with the “Nationalist” Nazis of America.
These wealthy fat pigs won’t do the elimination of a regressive income tax in which they play games with deductions and credits, for the salvation of SOME groups of people. They won’t eliminate such taxes, plus sales taxes on the CPI which require profit margins to be cut into by hiring number crunchers and lawyers. It’s okay to eliminate jobs of librarians and educators, but not the number crunchers and stupid law people with their personal injury lawsuits and workman’s’ comp lawsuits. They don’t want to use a VAT because they believe in the Nazi view about “money making the world go around.”
The Canadians do not have such abysmal things as frivolous lawsuits and workman’s comp crap with the fakes who push them. They pay one-quarter of the cost of healthcare than Americans pay in this “private” system tailored to the wealthy and the career lawyers and wealthy business people who sit in and control Congress with PACs and lobbyists, including those of the military-industrial complex which Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us about this complex being bad. Lawyers and number crunchers stand strong while the people just complain about government and we “little people” not only pay the taxes, but also pay four times as much as Canadians for healthcare, while Canadians have increased the average longevity of human beings in Canada. Only a person in France can be the oldest person in the world, at the age of 118. But not in America. GODDAMN the fat pigs of America who lead us into the future with “little people” and others being “dashed on the stones” and no one to do something about this situation.
My point about this discussed nation, whether island nation or peninsula, is that when there are no “little folk” around for the wealthy fat pigs to amass huge amounts of money and then invest in offshore accounts (island nations), while doing NOTHING for the people of America.
Andrew Carnegie, a person who provided money from his wealth, for libraries and education, said that the success of a society is not due to individuals, but due to the society. Wealthy man, Bill Gates, said that people would save money by using a library to read books, not to purchase books for their own individual library. Yet, the “Nationalist” Republicans reduce educators and librarians by way of elimination of local coverage of newspapers and then claiming “no one reads newspapers,” with a hidden agenda to increase the use of digital technology – for the sake of wealthy ME, ME, ME folks who don’t give one damn about WE THE PEOPLE. These wealthy fat pigs dictate to those companies which support social progression by acknowledging sexual identity (i.e., sexual identity is more than just about gay folks, but teaching young kids, whether male or female, to be more confident about themselves than to submit to a lousy freaking male teacher in upstate New York who had sex with young girls). These wealthy fat pigs don’t like local media reporters who report the unethical and corrupt behavior at the local level. So, they push to eliminate this aspect of the news, claiming, “no one reads newspapers so do it by digital.” I have numerous examples in Florida in which corrupt and unethical behaviors were once uncovered at the local level. It took local reporters AND librarians to do it. These freaking lousy wealthy ones have destroyed us in this field, while supporting lawyers and number crunchers, as if they are deity because, as the Nazis said, “money makes the world go around.” Not true and we have many examples in history in which money DOES NOT make the world go around, but if it did, it was done for the good of WE THE PEOPLE, not the fat goons of union busters and corrupt, immoral, unethical individuals in society. Scot Andrew Carnegie, Scot 18th-Century theologian/economist/philosopher, Adam Smith, and many others are examples. And any inaccuracies in media could be stopped with references on PRINT copies. But if it is said in a video or on digital technology, who the hell can find such inaccuracies to consider what was said? Simplicity comes with the PRINT copies.
