The Existentialist Cowboy: How K Street Pimps America »
Posted By Radiofreeeuropa 6 months, 3 weeks ago in Political NewsThe US government is increasingly answerable to foreign governments rather than to the American electorate. A previous EC article charged that Rupert Murdoch and his crooked Fox network 'shilled' Bush's war crime against Iraq and profited from it. However important its support of Bush, Fox is small potatoes compared to the growing influence exerted by foreign governments upon the government of the United States.
There are historical analogies. It was Didius Julianus who bought the Roman empire from the same praetorians who had assassinated Pertinax, his imperial predecessor. The Praetorian Guard 'pimped' an empire.
Wow,stumbled on this site looking for evidence to refute "Reagan created 21 million jobs Reaganomics destroyed the middle class.Are you familiar with the book"Agents of influence"? It's not well written but it highlighted the dangers of foreign lobbyists.
Reaganomics not only did not create jobs, it was the undoing of the middle class in the U.S.A.

FTA-"The Reagan/Bush Formula was simplistic and simple-minded: increase defense spending while cutting taxes for the rich. Reagan did not pioneer the formula. It had already been used to disastrous effect by the GOP cabal preceding the Great Depression. It did not work for Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover and it did not work for Ronald Reagan. Nor, more recently, did it work for Bush. The GOP has a learning problem. In some 100 years, they still don't get it! We would call a doctor an idiot if he told you just keep on doing whatever it is that's making you sick!"

I gave the idea of upwardly trickling funds some thought.

Seems to me that since the poor have no funds to trickle up it has basically had the most effect on the middle class.
You cannot gather blood from stones.
You cannot create more profit from people by giving them less wages unless your intent is to enslave them.
K Street is running America.
You are born Cradle to Grave in Debt in America today.
Did anybody really Vote for THAT? -

"GOP regimes slashed taxes and regulations; monopolies were winked at if not encouraged. It was an era characterized, as was Reagan's administration, by great inequalities in income and wealth. The US was on the Gold Standard and the Fed maintained a tight money policy. The Great Depression is still a great source of GOP embarrassment but apparently insufficient to inspire a change of policy. Sure enough, Reagan's tax cut of 1982 benefited only the very rich."
Blame that on the wanna be's. The ones who are dumb enough to believe that one day they will be wealthy, and it will benefit them.
They dream of wealth and power only to enslave their future to the very class of scoundrels they dream to aspire to become.
No thanks !! God gave me skills and talents to use. This country has taken away the work I did best.
A manufacturing inventory/production planning and scheduling manager.
Now I work in a warehouse, as a shift manager.
We used to produce things. Now we receive them, store, and ship them.
Purely a service industry that will be made obsolete by the robotics of the future.
We have had our futures sold out from under us.
