Remember... Remember
That day in November...It is almost surreal...the theater about this election...
Two diametrically different men running against each other to be the next President of the United State of America…and different just does not even compute...
We know the incumbent...
We know that skinny man with a funny name…we get used to see his face last four years frequently on our TV for good or bad...we get angry on him for the things he said and more for the things he didn't say... we went bezerk for the things he do...but most of all...what really bake our noodle was the things he didn't do...
Christmas come early this year in America...the frenzy and the wishful thinking, the season of hope and dreams. Main Street and Wall Street...everyone pop up last few months with a list of regrets…
President Obama give as the hard truth...we are on the road to recovery, but we are not there yet...
Romney, the contender, cleverly pick up every single roll of complain and he address them all...he told us what we wanted to hear...
I think there isn't a single constituency in America that the challenger Romney did not please and promise fix even he does not remember what he said when he said it but he definitely stand for what he said...in a nutshell...that man turn us all into National mash potato!
How on Earth anyone can argue with a man who agrees with everything today and who will tomorrow deny everything he said yesterday… especially when we live in this digital age of video recorded statements? Think about it...He deny recorded statements so bluntly as he wake up every morning with a wipe out recollection and expect that we go along with him...
Horrendous...and that man is running for President and he has a whole political Party behind...
It’s hard to comprehend, but if he wins, he will turn the political landscape upside down not just here but all over the world...
New political principle will arise from our mist...it does not matter what one say yesterday...it’s only NOW that count...everything go...
Romney reinvent himself affront of our eyes every few days by presenting a man who has a plan...plan without presenting any detail, without any valid verification...plan that numb and neuter us all...Media pundit keep praising his glorious turnaround plan, much like in that children fable: "Emperor without the clothes" while he run around politically naked....
How on Earth can such a man get political traction in one Nation?
Guess people wanna believe that someone can turn the economy around because people are nostalgic...because
people remember how well it was "Once upon a time in America" and
they can't perceive where the change comes from! So many of us can’t grasp the
ugly reality:
We live in a Society that promote
and worship human version of Darwin's survival of the fittest! It's not America that is changed as much as the whole World economic stage is changed...
We no longer compete with each other on local but global stage: and our leadership leave us toothless and claw-less in the jungle for so many generations...
We become easy prey to our corporate predators that decade after decade, election after election meticulously propagate the urban legend that only if you work hard and play by the rule just being in America it’s a guarantee of getting ahead...
No one like the bad news…People like to flock to the new prophet who promises to take them safely into the holy land...
The reality is, people are so tired of scraping by...People just want this crises to be over!
People don’t want to hear about Romney record that has nothing in common with job creation...they don't want to hear that! All they want to hear is someone saying:
- I know how to do it...I know how to fix the economy...
So many of us just cover our ears
and sing "La, la, la..." - they don't want to hear that he is nothing but corporate raider! Modern day
pirate!
- No...-they say...- I only want to hear good
news...
Do we really?Do we honestly are so beaten up with this crises that we just want to forget what happen last time Republicans hold the White House and control the Congress...and the time before that...
How short is our memory?
Maybe there was a Republican Grand Old Party that used to have some sound principles...but today they have nothing to offer to us, but the same old policies that did not work in the past and there isn't a single indication that they will ever work...
Today we face GOP partisanship who make pledges not to our Nation but to obsolete ideas!
Economy is just a start...GOP subscribe to idea in every walk of our Society that are not a step forward but the opposite...they lead us years backwards...
Should be no brainer...after all technology went so much ahead...but not for GOP...Listening to Akin, Murdock, West, Backman, Santorum...and Romney fish like flip flopping for political air...to name few example that GOP serve us as their best and brightest are leaving us speechless...all I can say is that on the doorstep of 21 Century to deny Science is automatically sanity issues...
Who are those people? How did they rise to prominence in one Party?
No matter how frightening those Questions are, the worse is yet to come...
- Who are the people who support them?
- What is wrong with their ability to proses facts and to search for the Truth...
- To be ignorant in this digital edge is not religious excuse...its character flaw!
If we separate the smokescreen, if we get to the bottom of GOP plans, the reality is very simple...
Winning matter to GOP…Matter more than the Truth…Matter more than the any historical facts…
Its growth they are after as they always are...Growth due to another wave of tax cuts…
Growth...growth...It was too much uncontrollable economic growth that blew up in our faces during the Bush administration...one more house and we could have landed on the moon...that's how high our economy grew...and now, we are once again pulled into the "growth agenda."
Let me break some ugly truth to all of you who dare to read my blog...
America can’t afford another tax cuts...not for wealthy and not for the middle class either...
America already has flat rate tax...it's called effective tax rate... What we actually pay in taxes no matter what tax percentage is set in the tax code!
Corporate America pay same contribution in taxes from our GDP as they did before the Great depression...some pay nothing at all while ranking record profits, swimming in cash and colecting our taxpayers money in various subsidies and chanels of Federal support...true welfare queens...
On the other hand we have our poor Government grasping for a straw underwater in the sea of public debt...
Yeah...Clever is in it...
Only in America people who lose a job blame Government and not the corporate power...
We cant get out of the crises using old ideas that may work long ago, but are outdated today...
If we want change, we need to understand the hard reality...
All the layoffs happen to protect Corporate bottom lines...Not a single Corporation lost on operations...they never do...they lost on Wall Street...they lost on stocks...they throw you on the street to go and beg on Government door and you lost your house and you run to the ground your decades of saving and you get cancer out of stress and your kids lost all their friends moving around just so Corporations will keep their portfolio looking good...not because you didn't work hard...so get that GOP dogma out of your head: working hard got nothing to do with your fortune or misfortune...none!
Corporate America has their spokesman in GOP and they planted this dogma of personal unfitness to mask the reality…
Don’t blame yourself, you did work hard...and you did play by the rules... and don't blame the Government for going on borrowing and spending binge…
- Your Government spending is
nothing but the effort to do the best they can to hold the fabric of our Society
together... Government spending is just attempt to patch problems that occur
and where created elsewhere…
Don’t hate your Government for
giving food stamps to some people, while you get nothing...and no, those people
on food stamps are not all black, lazy and addicted to dependency...and no,
they aren’t illegals either…they are just worse off then you are! Wretched
poor...that's who they are...And their numbers keep rising…working poor who do work but can’t even meet the bills…some work two jobs to get out of that poverty pit…
Working poor…the 47% of us…
Don't be like that woman who see her
family jobless for years, who see her house foreclosed and still go to Romney
rally and ask him for help! By now we should all know it was someone like him
who lay her husband off and push her family into poverty!
Don't be those workers who lost
their job cause their factory get shot down, but they still go to Romney rally
and are so proud to chant "USA, USA"...By now, we should all know
that it was someone like Romney who outsourced their jobs…and as times go by,
anyones jobs could be next…The only jobs who will not be outsourced will be
retail and service jobs…Everything else is on their way out…Take a look at
Sensata…Don't be that small business owner who work 14 hours a day, who never get a break but still go to Romney rally to pledge his tax plan...That plan is made just for the big Corporations...
Don't be those elders who depend on Medicare and still go to Romney rally just because they are afraid what legacy of debt they will leave to their grandchildren... You did not build that debt...and your Voucher Care will not help either!
Romney and careless people like him build our debt with their relentless pursuit of tax cuts and more tax cuts...sending our good jobs oversea... cutting every way they can on worker compensation by killing Unions...by paying lobbyist to deliver deduction and exception and modify our tax code... by being proud to give tithe to their Church and deduct them as charity from their tax return...and after all the breaks they put into Laws…and after every loopholes they exhausted, when even that wasn’t good enough, they send their money in tax haven shelters…all the tax evading scams in Cayman Island, dirty Bermuda business investments or Swiss Bank accounts...
Romney and people like Romney build our debt and skip on any public investment in our Nation Physical and Human Capital by paying less and less in taxes...no wonder we fall behind on Education and our Infrastructure is barely standard of 20 Century...
Romney and people as Romney rob us blind all those years and now they want to enter the White House and get the final nail in our Safety net...last thing left for them to steal from us...
Because they never got enough...
Yet they go around and they dare to blame:
- It’s the debt stupid…it’s the debt all right, the debt they create and
don’t want to pay for it…
Don’t be the person to open the door
for them to the White House again…Vultures…that’s what they are… Human pack of wolfs…
Romney is the same wolf as Bush was talking how Compassionate Christian he was...
Once in White House…only compassion GOP is able to feel is toward their own bank accounts that they nourish with tax cuts and deregulation every time they win...and true Christians will never start a War…period!
Romney is the same GOP...Wolf may change its color in winter, but it’s the same wolf from the summer...just hungry and cunning for a hunt...
GOP is after more blood...more tax cuts...don't let them in...
Tax cuts will not make us better off as a Nation...that train left the Station long before Reagan left the office...Its time to upgrade our Society with 21 Century ideas that incorporate well being of all of us, not just few...its time to face the challenges of the ever changing world...its time to outgrow GOP...
Its that simple...
Democrats may be wrong on many issues, but they got few damn right...
Poverty is not acceptable in 21 Century...
Woman have a right to choose...
Universal Health Care is perk of our civilization development ...
Standard of living is the next civil right...
Climate change is happening and we need to acknowledge that as World priority...
Many will find touch by those issues even they consider themselves Republicans...and that is OK...and that is Normal...cause Humanity don't dwell in colors of political divide...
Humanity dwell in every one of us...its that fiber that make our soul and warm our heart in the hours of great despair...
Its that feeling of Hope that is greater then the coldness of Fear...
Its that feeling of Hope that will take us forward into a New arising World Consciousness that cant accept the old dogma of yesterday...
Election is just start...
The seed of change is like a mustard seed that grow in the heart of all of us...
Remember...Remember that day in November...
No matter what you do...
Go vote ...
