We need to change the language of the political debate and call out the Extremists
Posted on 13:46 by Unknown
The extremists are those that seek to systematically dismantle the natural civil rights that are enshrined within the Bill of Rights - not much is now left.
The extremists are those that run the government for the benefit of crony Corporations and financial elites.
The extremists are those that take the lobbyist bribes to further enrich the wealthy and which continue to wreck the economy and impoverish America.
The extremists are those that pass a budget deal that further enriches a few thousand wealthy people and further impoverishes over 300 million Americans.
The extremists are those that pass measures which further accelerate the growing and now extreme income inequality in America.
When the top 0.1% did not completely own the government, there was growing prosperity for all.
Now that they do, there is poverty.
The moderates are those who advocate the principles upon which America was founded and which made her great.
The Bill of Rights
Small government
Very low taxes
The moderates advocate policies that encourage a thriving and prosperous middle class.
The extremists are wiping the middle class out.
The moderates are NOT right wing.
Nothing is further right wing than Fascism and Corporatism, which are the policies now advocated by the current leaders of both the GOP and the Dems.
It is about time we stopped calling the people who advocate a strong and prosperous America right wing nut jobs.
It is about time that we started calling the people who advocate Corporatism and Fascism extremists.
The latest Budget "Deal"
Senator Patty Murray and Rep. Paul Ryan cut a deal on behalf of government cronies in the top 0.1%.
The only people that will benefit from this deal are crony Corporations, financial speculators and
banksters.
A few thousand people will benefit from the budget deal.
Over 300 million Americans will be worse off.
The House has approved a budget that :-
Increases spending by $60bn a year, keeping all of the over $1.3tn of annual crony Corporate welfare.
Keeps the massive $200bn a year tax hike on the poor and middle class from the disastrous fiscal cliff deal.
Raises taxes via fees.
Fees actually increase the proportion and burden of taxation that fall on the poor and middle class, they hardly affect the rich at all.
Increasing taxes on the middle class and the poor will lower future GDP growth and increase future unemployment.
If the government takes more from people who are already on the breadline or who are struggling to cope, they won't have that money to spend on other things and the overall economy will suffer as a result.
Cuts Veteran's pensions.
Does nothing to improve future economic growth.
Does nothing to resolve the looming fiscal deficit - by 2023:-
Spending will be around $6tn
The deficit will be well over $3tn
The National Debt will be over $40tn
The budget that SHOULD be on the table
Immediate cuts of $1.3tn to annual crony Corporate Welfare
Lower taxes on middle earners and below -
an immediate increase in the income tax thresh hold to $45,000 a year (from $8,500)
Reverse the $108bn payroll tax hike
Help for small and medium sized businesses which are the true job and wealth creators in America.
Remove all the tax loopholes and subsidies to the crony Corporations and use that money to cut Corporation Tax to 25% for EVERYONE.
Make the first $100,000 of profits tax free, like Singapore does.
The measures above will get bottom up spending and recruitment going again.
What do you want to do with the rest of the over $600bn a year we have just saved?
There are reasons as to why Singapore remains in the top 5 wealthiest countries, while America has slipped from 1st to 17th and still falling.
The Singapore government helps the little guy to thrive, while the American government now grinds the little guy into the dust in return for campaign donations from wealthy crony Corporate elites.
The details of the budget deal that should be on the table

The detailed list of items of crony Corporate Welfare that add up to over $1.3tn a year

U.S. Corporation Tax rates for 2013
Note that successful small and medium sized businesses are the most heavily taxed of all.
They pay 39% Corporation Tax on profits between $100,000 and $335,000.
http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/businesstaxes/a/corptaxrate.htm
So as soon as a young business starts becoming really successful and is making taxable profits of over $100,000 a year, the U.S. government thinks it is best to start taxing them to death.
No wonder that the number of new business start ups and the number of people employed in those new start ups, is rapidly declining.

The list of RINO's and extremists that voted for this disastrous budget deal
Every single one needs to be removed from office.

It's about time we took this country back from the extremists

This budget deal will make the already dire economic situation even worse.
November jobs report without the hype - only 41,500 new jobs, REAL unemployment has gone UP

What 30 years of increasingly extremist Corporatist policies have done to America in a series of economic charts and how to fix things.

The reality is that Obama's "recovery" is just a financial asset bubble which will end very badly - just like Bush's "recovery" was and did

Paul RINO needs to be KICKED OUT of the GOP. His "budget plan" is an absolute JOKE
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/03/paul-ryan-need-to-be-kicked-out-of-gop.html
Current CBO projections are based on ludicrous assumptions and not based on current economic conditions
The CBO will have to massively revise down their estimates of future growth rates.
They are already massively out for 2013 GDP growth.
