McCain: Middle-Class Tax Cut is 'Welfare'

[SaadBell 0]

I think the late George Carlin says it best -

"The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ­ lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else."

"But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting ###### by a system that threw them overboard 30 ###### years ago.

"You know what they want? Obedient workers ­ people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your ###### retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this ###### place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."

"This country is finished."

This country will be finished if McCain takes office.

Does anyone here ever wonder why so many globalist elites, like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, are for Obama?

They are intelligent and understand some very fundamental truths such as the fact that their wealth does not and cannot exist in a vacuum. That's an easy to understand concept that quite obviously evades you and yours but it remains true whether you acknowledge or dismiss it. I suspect that it's not a co-incidence that those that actually worked for and build their wealth from nothing are more likely to be behind Obama while those that were born into wealth and have done nothing much to acquire it are lining up behind those that represent and worship the failed concept of the trickle-down economy which George H. W. Bush rightfully labeled voo-doo economics.

VW - you are wasting your time. Its easier to accept that some people just don't get it.

You are right, Britty. I know I'm wasting my time here. It is no accident that the educational system in this country turns out worker bees for the elite and that their mentality is geared toward being victims of "the system" who need saving by some omniscient leader.

Not only do they not get it, they actually believe that Obama will save them from what they see as their unwilling subjugation. Ha! He will change things alright, but he won't make it better for them. There is a distinct difference between the rich and those who serve them, and much of it is in their way of thinking. If you think like a victim, you will remain a prisoner of your thoughts.

Even socialism has upper classes. Does anyone here ever wonder why so many globalist elites, like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, are for Obama? They are the same people who introduced outsourcing and HB visas to exploit cheap labor at American's expense. I'll give you a hint, it's not because they want to be equalized with the unwashed masses . . .

####### are you on about?

Who knows? Does anyone really care? The only person VW cares about is - VW which is quite interesting when she is always accusing others of being hedonistic and self serving. I find it very funny.

What is especially funny with the 'rich and those who serve them' philosophy, is that she puts herself in the being served minority. You gotta laugh.
