Joe the $250k Plumber

This fellow represents very well the average Republican voter in the red states. The average plumber nets $45k. The likelihood of guys like Joe EVER netting a taxable wage of $250,000 is astronomically slim. Even taking any future hyper-inflation into account.

Guys like Joe are sold on the Rush Limbaugh story of rags to riches. They believe the trickle down theory so much that they will continue to vote for regressive tax systems in that oh so slim chance they might someday hit the lottery.

Meanwhile the folks with serious wealth (those controlling hundreds of millions / billions) are making out like bandits under our current tax system.

Oh so manipulated Joe.

Money Masters

Like I've said, I'll be AMAZED if Obama being black could be elected in the US.

We are financially and intellectually a bankrupt country.

(And I'm not even voting for Obama - Go Ralph Nader!)

"If you are not at the table, you are on the menu"

Glen Beck is a shill for Bush, but somehow this financial reality even hits the most dense amongst us.

Trickle Down Economics

The major bankers and foreign investors as experiencing a financial boom from this latest round of Taxpayer handouts. The banks are going to use this money to secure hard assets (not dollar denominated).

Mark my words. The dollar is doomed. Hyperinflation is not far off.

$566 Billion - Cost of IRAQ "war" since 2003 (which includes major graft by Corporate America)

Neel Kashkari - VP of Goldman Sachs til October 2008
(US Treasury - Asst Secretary) - in charge of $700B handouts)

Henry Paulson - Chairman/CEO of Goldman Sachs til 2007
(US Treasury - Secretary)


Cost of keeping Paulson's old firm and fellow bankers afloat while the world develerages from Wall Street's scams? Trillions.

Wall Street pays their politicos dearly to manipulate the market through their legislative actions.

There is no end to the greed and graft of this administration to their corporate constituents.

Can you imagine what will happen when our outsized debt has to be financed with high interest rates to attract foreign investment?

Good Vid for Perspective

Video of World Trade Center #7 - Pretty Much Looks Like The Controlled Demolition Of Our Financial Markets.

You would think that this is a good opportunity to break the chains of the banking cartel's "Federal" Reserve....

Our congress (and President) are now obviously just figure heads. They have absolutely no meaningful independence.

The banking cartel purchased our country in 1913, and are now tightening their grip just like they have done to multitudes of countries around the world this last century.

FEMA Martial Law Document being passed around the Hill this week.

In the 30's, the flag waving Germans were really excited about their state cult and the coordination their corporate/military leaders gave them to get out of their financial mess. Get ready, the flags and personality cult are just beginning as well as use of the FEMA camps that have been built these past 5 years.

Our people are so mind numb from our diet and tv entertainment, that we don't have a chance.

The Mother of all Bank Runs

Nouriel Roubini, a professor at the Stern Business School at NYU and chairman of Roubini Global Economics, is a weekly columnist for Forbes.com.

If the US can't control an american hemisphere country's market, they will accuse you of drug traffic and try to seal you off.

Evo Morales, Pres - Bolivia


Problem is, the US is increasingly irrelevant to South Americans who long ago were burned by capitalist mercenaries. And now that the US is the one facing the destruction of their currency, these countries could care less what gimmicks the americans contrive to retain their influence

American manipulation of the international drug trade and financial currencies is waning fast.

Evo Morales, be brave and fight on.
