Balance the U.S. budget on the backs of the wealthy who need to begin sacrificing for this nation. The Middle Class has sacrificed enough.
Suggestions for America
Make a truly democratic legislature in Washington. Forget the crap with ethnic this and ethnic that. Make all America one America. Direct democracy is difficult and time-consuming for Americans. They would not, on the whole, participate. Do the next best thing. Expand the size of the House of Representatives. The current formulas and the horse s*** of gerrymandering needs to go. Simply place one representative from each county (or parish in Louisiana) in the House of Representatives. Make the geographic boundaries the voter boundaries. People would understand it better. Return the control of the Senate to the governors of the states (as originally written in the Constitution) rather than what is happening today – people THINK they are voting for a senator, but in reality it’s the American Politburo – the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which has purchased these guys to sit in the Congress. If people don’t have a voice in the senator chosen, then at least place it back in the indirect hands of the people – an elected governor. But the House of Representatives should be based on a representative from each county.
Actually, the same should happen in the Florida State Senate and House. The Florida Senate: one representative from each county. The Florida House of Representatives should consist of one representative from each municipality. People don’t understand the numbering of all these different districts. No one is able to remember the district numbers. Make it easier for THE PEOPLE. Lawyers – the career politicians – understand it. The lobbyists understand it. The people don’t understand this horse s*** in Florida and America today.
The idea of districts, Electoral College, and all this other stuff is antiquated – established by people who did not have the telecommunications we have today. We need a change.
We need to also stuff the birds like Rick Scott and their wealthy greedy friends who steal from the people.
Solutions for America
Eliminate the Electoral College. Eliminate the presidential political conventions. A waste of money. Consolidate all presidential primaries into one national one the beginning of October, with an election day holiday for all. Hold the presidential election in November as always, but make election day a holiday for all. Replace the Electoral College with a third election holiday – a runoff election of the top two candidates for president. Open up the field for qualified candidates not tied to a political party. Let the people decide in a true democracy. Eliminate the money which now provides all the decisions. Sounds simplistic. It is. So let’s do it. Simplify the election process and throw away the lawyers and greedy Ayn Rand moneymakers who make it too complex.

Responsible people who faithfully pay their bills on time, have counted on long-term investments in Social Security and Medicare, have been model American citizens – all are being screwed by lousy American leadership with plenty of money. The lousy leadership sucks big time. Rick Scott has stolen from my long-term investments and then screws those of us who are trying to make it in Florida – despite the Bush shit which has caused my house to lose value.
Franklin D. Roosevelt knew what it was like to go without. Bush, Scott, Walker, the Koch brothers – they don’t know what it is like to be helpless and go without. For one momentary second when polio struck down FDR, he was lying on the ground, helpless. Is it any wonder he recognized that welfare in the form of bounty land grants (from the time of the American Revolution – the TEA PARTY – you fucking bastards – self-righteous know-it-alls) were no longer possible, but that Americans needed a safety net. The types of safety nets which have been developed have been abused and misused. But that does not mean they need to be eliminated entirely.
The tea party sucks. It is a lousy organization lacking humility to learn. Rick Scott sucks. And the more I say in this line, the more the screws are liable to be tightened on me and others who speak the truth.
We have solutions, but these solutions are being brushed aside by thieves who have illegally attained their money and wormed their way into public office. Rick Scott and others mock our institutions of government. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce – the American version of the old Soviet Politburo with the wealth concentrated in the hands of a few – honors thieves like Rick Scott and Scott Walker. They don’t know what they do. However, these bastards would oppose the collective control of a company by its employees (calling it communism), but then institute a centrally-planned economy similar to one which existed in the former Soviet Union (now exists in COMMUNIST CHINA) and think nothing of it. The communists are those thieves who have taken our money and galvanized wealthy people to screw us all. And then if we say there is better morale and teamwork in organizations in which the employees have a larger say in matters, these shitheads call THIS communism. Rick Scott and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, setting itself up like a centrally-planned communist politburo ARE THE COMMUNISTS! Allen West is a communist. Rick Scott is a communist. The Koch brothers are communists. Donahue at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a communist. Marco Rubio is a communist. Toomey of Pennsylvania is a communist. They impose communist-type top-down systems upon us – and tightening the screws on us – taking away our long-term investments.
Screw the American evil wealth and its love for money – which causes anarchy and the creation of animals, not human beings.

In an advertisement for Charles Schwab, we are led to believe Mr. Schwab made the following statement: “I make money the old-fashioned way – I earn it.”
I challenge Americans to find someone who lives up to this. Not to brag, but the abrasiveness I feel in today’s society might possibly be due to my attempt to live up to this core value which is lost to Ayn Rand horse shit of greed and selfishness.
Americans today look for the easy way out rather than considering how to earn money. Our society of Ayn Rand worshipers creates this environment and encourages it to perpetuate it. I think it is deplorable, it stinks, and it makes for a lousy life in America today. There are better solutions for ridding us of this, but no one is willing to listen. Why? Because everyone has become so “me, me, me…” … thinking only about how solutions will help each individual. Rick Scott only thinks about himself. The career politicians in Tallahassee and Washington only think about each self, not about our society. Fuck them all because they are leading America astray. They use propaganda in the media to encourage bad solutions which benefit only a few people. And meanwhile those of us here at the bottom are at each other’s throats when we should all be working together as a team of Americans, not individually. That sucks and I am stating my disgust over it in hopes SOMEONE will recognize how much it sucks and DO SOMETHING about it – change this fucking environment which I have come to despise.
I should be afraid of Rick Scott and other cowards who don’t know how to lead – just know how to invoke their stupid laws to bring down hard-working Floridians and NOT create new opportunities so we can EARN our keep, not go for handouts – as Rick Scott did with his corrupt practices in Medicare. I should be afraid of these cowards we have as leaders because I speak out and cowards would rather seek vengeance on a little guy like me – even use others who are around me in order to invoke fear, intimidation, and take away my ability to EARN rather than to seek a handout. Fuck Rick Scott and other cowards with money. THEY ARE NOT LEADERS, BUT THEY ARE COWARDS, so FUCK THEM. They don’t know what it means with regard to Charles Schwab’s alleged statement. In fact, my bet is that the company with Charles Schwab’s name on it conforms to the Ayn Rand rules of individualistic greed and selfishness – take from others before they take from you. YOU BASTARDS. YOU make human beings into animals rather than the higher order humans we are supposed to be.
These guys react this way because they are racists and bigots who disliked the Martin Luther King, Jr., movement to protect the rights of GROUPS of people, rather than the rights of individuals. The rights of individuals leads to anarchy and humans becoming a bunch of fucking beasts – animals – and I despise this and the leaders who do this. May they go to hell. I seek positive HUMAN solutions rather than those which lead us to anarchy.
As I have said, my hero is Teddy Roosevelt. He almost pulled off a third-party presidential win a century ago. ALMOST. There were several factors which I have discussed in this blog. Another factor was an assassin’s bullet. While giving a speech, an anarchist shot at TR. Fortunate for TR, he had protection in his pocket which did not allow the bullet to penetrate very far. But the ANARCHIST’S BULLET curtailed TR’s campaigning in 1912. Fuck anarchists – and Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Allen West, and others are anarchists. The Koch brothers are anarchists. Anyone who believes in Ayn Rand is an anarchist, so fuck you. GO to hell and the sooner the better.
Anarchists and fucking violence in America. Yet these bastards HATE the non-violent stuff of MLK, Jr. Fuck you, all of you, in your power to bring us all to being animals and at each other’s throats – you bastards.
Does this sound positive? No. But positive solutions are being brushed aside. Due to the cowards and anarchists in the Republican Party, those of us who have worked, tried to save, been responsible with our money, and attempted to make LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS are being screwed – in favor of the anarchists and the pervasive attitude in America to take from one another – and as Rick Scott did – TAKE FROM THE FUNDS WE AS AMERICANS HAVE INVESTED. I am angry at a man who took from the money I INVESTED IN MEDICARE. YOU BASTARD WHO NOW LEADS ME AND COULD SCREW ME BIG TIME. YOU BASTARD. WHY WOULD I NOT BE ANGRY AT SUCH A BASTARD. THAT IS MY MONEY, YOU FUCKING COWARD AND BASTARD.
Now, to solve the problem, stupid ignorant career politicians and a wimp in the White House, chooses to put Medicare and Social Security at risk so that many of us who have invested big time in it will not have the money WE INVESTED. YOU BASTARDS. WHY AM I ANGRY AT THIS?
Furthermore, these bastards support big insurance. Big insurance interferes with the patient-doctor relationship, not Medicare. Yet, my deduction for Medicare is LESS THAN THE DEDUCTION TO BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD FOR MY SON WHO HAS FAR LESS MEDICAL NEEDS THAN PEOPLE MY AGE. YOU GREEDY SOBs and BASTARDS. You refuse to implement regulations regarding CASH VALUE EARNED… EARNED… EARNED – you SOBs….. over time… EARNED … when we don’t make claims on auto, home, or whatever.
You cowards mock capitalism by CLAIMING no government interference, then you interfere on the side of the SUPPLY SIDE – the big greedy bastards who head the corporations. YOU BASTARDS. YOU COWARDS. YOU SOBs.
You pick on the little guys in unions and what not – the guys who work hard. Yet, I know many hard-working union guys all over this land. YOU COWARDS who call yourselves leaders.
Rather than get at the roots of problems, you deny hard-working Americans the ability to EARN and INVEST. You don’t do something about the waste in the FRS DROP program from those who double-dip. Instead, you deny the rest of us the ability to EARN money in the DROP system. YOU BASTARDS AND COWARDS. You refuse to look at those who take unemployment due to layoffs in seasonal jobs (in the North, in particular), while a union man in the North stood up and spoke out AGAINST such practices of waste in unemployment. You brush that little guy off – and one has to wonder why. The Mafia which encourages such horse shit? BTW. Teachers have seasonal jobs and NEVER have such an opportunity. But NON-UNION roofers are able to do this? YOU BASTARD COWARDS WHO CALL YOURSELVES LEADERS.
And much of this also begins with catering to immigrants who come here and take the money WE HAVE INVESTED LONG TERM IN SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. FUCK THE LEADERS WHO WON’T DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND CATER TO A FUCKING MAFIA AND THEIR “GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR POOR…” So, as Mafia from Europe and the Roman Catholic Church has done – SCREW AMERICANS, particularly WASPs. Americans, finding nothing, just participate in these charades which create handouts and slavery. Fuck this idea because this is NOT America, the beautiful. My AMERICA.

(Getting ahead of myself!)
I am disgusted with the fascist line of the Republican Party. I am disgusted with the wimpish reaction of President Obama and the Democrats to the fascist line of the Republican Party.
We don’t need tax cuts for the wealthy and an austerity budget in America today. This will only lead to disaster. Use your heads, America. It was the same type of Republican stonewalling that dug us deeper into the Great Depression.
Americans need a lesson in determining the difference between “a cup of vanilla ice cream and a cup of horse shit.” (borrowed from Lee Iacocca’s 2007 book, Where Have All the Leaders Gone?)
We have a bunch of career politician / lawyers in Congress who “don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground” (borrowed from my outspoken, now deceased, Republican mother). They live in a fantasy world of writing legislation. George Bush was an expert about beer kegs. It showed. Our current president is an apparent expert on compromising, compromising, compromising – until the ultra-conservatives WIN! It shows! Sad what the Ivy League is teaching people (Georgie at Yale and Obama at Harvard) these days.

We don’t need tax cuts for the wealthy and an austerity budget.
Ronald Reagan said, “facts are stupid.” Ronald Reagan was a stupid ass.
Facts: Bill Clinton balanced the Federal budget with higher taxes on the wealthy and tax deductions for the Middle Class. The Middle Class spent the money that the wealthy are NOT spending today. The Middle Class invests in America, but the wealthy class invests in horse shit. Thus, the Federal budget was balanced by the time George Bush (wrongfully) inherited it (the budget should have been Al Gore’s to manage, but thanks to unethical behavior by Scalia, we got Bush).
Facts: there were 10 times more jobs created when Clinton was president than when George Bush was president.

Recently, I spoke with a young man who had a good reasoning mind, but lacked wisdom. Yet, he stubbornly clings to his ideas and is unwilling to discuss matters which would allow him to gain some wisdom. This attitude is pervasive today, especially among those who have “found” the tea party as their “salvation.” They are wrong.
This man used philosophy to validate why our government should ban abortions. He used a philosophical approach to reason why it’s okay to send young men and women who have made it out of the womb off to get killed in war. I don’t buy it.
But the real kicker was his insistence that our federal government is here to oppose “evil.” He and I never got the chance to discuss this matter – only he mouthed his words and I never got a word in edgewise.
Here is his premise. To support his argument, this young man (lacking wisdom) quoted George Washington with a statement our first president made about our government. The young man claimed George Washington said the role of our government is to “fight evil.”
(Sounds to me like this man has watched too many cartoons and read too many super hero comic strips – and is living in a fantasy world).
Had this man given me a chance to speak (which I was not given that chance), I would have mentioned several things. First of all, “evil” is subjective. Sort of like: one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
With that in mind, let me address the issue of “evil.” Today, John Edwards (whom I am told studied at the Center for Creative Leadership in North Carolina – a group with whom I also studied), Tim Mahoney, and several other good men who could have been destined for leadership in this nation have been eliminated from that path because they are considered “evil.” These men maintained mistresses, so therefore are considered “evil.” Emotional female logic (an oxymoron) has determined that these guys are “evil.”
Wait a minute. Due to Martha’s inability to have children, George Washington regularly visited a mistress. In fact, there are those who claim descent from the sperm of George Washington meeting the egg of his mistress. (This is one of those little secrets maintained within the genealogical community?) In fact, a little newspaper in upstate New York, The Sun-Bulletin of Binghamton, NY (before corporate conglomerate Gannett purchased it and merged it with The Evening Press), ran a story about one such descendant.
So this young “whippersnapper” (as I remember being called when I was this guy’s age) is validating our government taking a “moral” stand and is basing this on a man who would be considered “immoral” by self-righteous and judgmental people today!
My grandmother repeatedly said, “judge not lest ye be judged.” In her younger age, she, too, was an emotional female jerk, supporting the “morality” stand of government by advocating in favor of Prohibition – along with other “ladies” in the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. By the time she reached her 70s, she recognized the fault in that movement – from the wisdom she gained over many years.
The leader of MADD, out of emotional distress over the loss of a child to a young drunk driver has used her emotions, not her wisdom, to impose upon our society a stupid drinking age – like an emotional witch. Yet, I recall growing up in a dry town in upstate NY and watching the carnage of drunken OLDER PEOPLE as they killed younger people while driving home – because stupid ignorant idiots refused to allow drinking in my home town.
But the wisdom I learned from my grandmother and the wisdom I have gained from my own experiences is being ignored – brushed aside.
My stand against fascist values may be considered, by some, to be negative. It is not – because it is a stand in favor of positive progressive ideas while defending myself in the process. Fascist ultra-conservatives are bullies. They insist on making their positions “normal” for society and therefore forcing many of us to conform to those ideas. If, through fear and intimidation, these bullies can make their ideas pervasive in society, then where will those of us more positive ones who lack hatred be able to point out the wisdom which is lacking in society today? If I seem negative because I take a defensive stand against those who would remove the peace and tranquility which could be a part of my life, then so be it.
Give millions of Americans like me the chance to seek “life, liberty, and happiness.” In New Hampshire, they say, “live free or die.” In colonial Virginia, Patrick Henry said, “give me liberty or give me death.” Self-righteous judgmental moralists are attempting to remove my liberty and freedom, so I am going to lash out. As it is positive in New Hampshire and it WAS positive in Virginia, what I say are positive things, not negative things.
“Judge not lest ye be judged.”

Fascist Michelle and Her Buddies
No one forces Michelle Bachman or others to have same-sex relationships. But people like the Bachmans disturb and deny people their rights to the pursuit of “life, liberty, and happiness” by judging and claiming they can “convert” and “change” gay people.
The only “choice” a gay person has is to remain in the closet or come out of it. When people like the Bachmans and the religious right use fear and intimidation – claiming their “love” for fellow human beings – they remove that choice from many people who just want to live in a free society and not bother other people. BTW. Holding hands and showing affection, as with heterosexual relationships, should not bother other people. No one forces those others to show such affections. In fact the only forcefulness for heterosexuals to feel compelled to show affection is to demonstrate, “we are not gay.” That is stupid and ignorant – of people who are stupid and ignorant and are unable to come to grips with themselves.
My life was one of being subliminally forced into heterosexual relationships – because that was what society of the 1960s and 1970s dictated. In reality, I may have had the ABILITY to choose, but societal pressures, such as those Bachman (the bitch) and others wish to impose on people in our society are sick. It is Bachman and others who are perverted and have perverted all sense of reasoning by trying to force people to return to those days when society “spoke softly but carried a big stick” when homosexuals got out of line and actually THOUGHT about something different than a heterosexual relationship.
It is ironic I would use the statement of my hero, Teddy Roosevelt, to make a point here. But the religious right have taken TR’s statement about carrying a big stick to high levels of negativity – to validate their position. In reality, TR was all about civil rights. He was booed in Georgia when he proposed the equality of white and black people. He was instrumental in creating some of the first child labor laws. He did positive things about human rights by “speaking softly and carrying a big stick.” The fascists today (which includes Bachman and most Republicans today) use TR’s statements in a negative way – against a mere 10% of the population. What a bunch of bullies and cowards.
Democracy is NOT about imposing the will of the majority in a negative manner upon a minority. TR recognized this, but today’s ignorant Americans refuse to recognize this. The GLBT community makes up about 10% of the population. Just because there might be a simple majority which wishes to remove the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from this small group,” does not make the measures of such fascists who mis-lead the population as being correct.
TR, with his native Georgian wife, tried to stop the woes of Jim Crow Laws in the South, but was booed. The GLBT community today stands up for its rights to have a life which allows these people to NOT conform to the closeted promiscuity, but rather to marry and to have children. But negative people such as Bachman, in their false judgmental attitudes, rally up ignorant Americans to follow her negative ways – along with other similar candidates. They mock the original roots of the Republican Party – as do the other Tea Party people. TR, too, saw this mockery and split the party in two pieces exactly 100 years ago.
The ones who REALLY need to be ashamed are the black folks who support such hatred and figure this is some kind of “personal opinion.” It was not an opinion when people imposed Jim Crow Laws on black people, no more than it is an opinion to impose fascist ideas against the GLBT community. Shame on any black American who supports this horse shit because they forget those white people like TR who attempted to remove the chains from the black folks in the early 20th century.

Some people think I will come out better if I just go along with the religious right and ultra conservatives. I have not come out better in the past, so why should I now? When the toombifier gang at my former employer (remember the words of Grayson) gave us this horse s*** about the layoffs being some kind of altruistic measure for “deregulation” and making it better for the consumer – and for the way electric utilities do business, I knew it was a bunch of horse s*** then. It is still a bunch of horse s***. But alas, for the sake of my family, I was FORCED to conform. Oh, yes. I had a choice: an offer I could not refuse (words from the movie, The Godfather).
The company shut down its administrative / management operations in St. Petersburg, forcing thousands of employees out of work and the industry never really became a more competitive one – as portrayed by the liars who earned millions as a result of those actions of the early 1990s. Instead, the company joined the ranks of the company “flipper”-type CEOs who lost sight of the goals and missions of companies and merely purchase them to “flip” them and make money that way. These people are lazy SOBs who don’t know how to EARN money – just take it from others. Rick Scott is one of them.
My bet is these guys in the early 1990s were pissed off at the election of Bill Clinton, which made George Bush, Sr., a one-term president. Most of them were of the younger baby boom generation who f***ed us older guys over – at the request of the greedy SOBs who were closer to my age and did have the money – quite possibly because they f***ed our government by not paying back student loans – as I had faithfully done, despite the lack of “profit” in my family unit. Oh, yeah, it’s called “disposable income” – something us “little guys” are not supposed to have because we are too stupid to know what to do with it.
These are the same guys who are TRYING to manipulate a one-term presidency out of Barack Obama. Why? Not out of altruism, but out of vindictiveness. We don’t need vindictive leaders, we need those who will get the job done – like Nancy Pelosi and a House of Representatives which accomplished more – perhaps things distasteful to these lazy bums with money – but more. Excuse me, but were these guys elected by the people or by lazy bums with money and only one motive? That motive (besides stubborn fascist ideology which nixes any form of reasoning or logic) is vindictiveness towards Bill Clinton and the Democrats.
These wealthy pigs mock democracy while repeating words like, “democracy,” “liberty,” “freedom.” The “Empire” is getting too big, so they feel compelled to destroy democracy, while giving the appearance we still have it.
“You hypocrites! You offspring of vipers! Your father is Satan the devil!”
Gee! Where did we hear these words before?
