Americans have always depended on the media to be their eyes and ears to monitor events transpiring around the country. Indeed, the Fourth Estate is allegedly a non-partisan watchdog that protects the innocent by exposing malfeasance in politics and in a greater sense, keeping tabs on undue influence by wealthy industrialists and corporations on the government tasked to conduct the people’s business. The Fourth Estate has transformed itself into the First Mistake.

Particularly, the lack of reporting on the Occupy movement that is protesting the influence wealthy industrialists, Wall Street, and corporate banking interests has on the government demonstrates the corporate-owned media’s complicit involvement in helping conservatives destroy the poor and middle class. Nearly every media outlet has failed miserably to report on and investigate the motivations and goals of demonstrators across the nation because they are controlled by the Republican Party who are in turn controlled by the wealthy and the corporations they own.

The outrageous assaults on peaceful protestors in Oakland are but just one example of the media’s refusal to report the police brutality and unconstitutional breaking up of American citizens who are exercising their 1^st Amendment “right to peaceably assemble to petition for a governmental redress of grievances.” One may wonder why a violent attack on the protestors in Oakland, California was omitted from newspapers in a city 70 miles from where riot police fired plastic bullets and tear gas at demonstrators who were assemble peaceably. The simple answer is the McClatchy Company owned chain of newspapers is a shill for conservatives and little more than an extension of the RNC. The newspapers are the epitome of hypocrisy for omitting reports about the Occupy movement when during the teabagger’s assemblies and disruptions of town hall meeting during the healthcare reform debates, readers received a daily dose of Republican rhetoric about the abject hatred the American people had toward President Obama and Democrats for attempting to help 30-40 million Americans get affordable health insurance coverage.

The media also failed miserably to report on citizens across the nation who spoke out against Republican efforts to push the Heritage Foundation’s Medicare privatization scam on poor, retired Americans. It is becoming painfully obvious to even the most ignorant American that the media in this country is controlled exclusively by Republicans and their front groups the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, and the Koch-owned Americans for Progress. It is also worth asking if the editorial boards of newspapers around the country have to run their choice of stories by Karl Rove and the RNC.

The Occupy movement will continue growing despite the willful omission of reporting by the media. As the movement grows and more Americans learn the protestors share their belief that corporate control of the government is unacceptable, anger and retribution at the media for their complicity in Republican, Wall Street banks, and wealthy industrialists’ takeover of the government will spell doom for the nation’s corporate media. Americans deserve better from Republicans and their sycophants in main stream media outlets and as the last newspaper is forced to shut down their presses, they will have no-one to blame but themselves for acquiescing to conservative and Republican’s corporate-fueled devastation of individual freedoms and economic malfeasance.

Republicans are traditionally against any tax increases so it seems natural they would embrace the president’s proposal, but they have, as usual, gone in the opposite direction and said it is important to raise taxes on the working poor to help get the deficit under control. So are Republicans making any moves to let the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans expire? Of course not; Republicans will always protect the rich even if it means going against their mantra of never raising taxes. The Republican chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee and member of the House and Senate super-committee, Representative David Camp (R-Mich), said that tax reductions, “no matter how well-intended” will increase the deficit making the panel’s work that much harder.

The payroll tax cut for the working poor is 2% and applies to every American who works and makes under $106,800 per year. The median annual income for America is $49,500 for an entire family, so only the lower middle-class and working poor are going to be affected by the Republicans’ tax increases. The Bush-era tax cuts amounted to 3% on the richest Americans and if the Republicans didn’t hate the poor, they would let the wealthy’s tax cuts expire so all Americans could shoulder the burden of helping get the deficit reduced, but the GOP will never take away the wealthy’s entitlements.

The move by Republicans is nothing more than class warfare and they have aligned themselves with the rich against the poor. Republicans have no concept of shared sacrifice unless it means the poor share the sacrifice to benefit the rich. With more Americans living in poverty every day, President Obama’s proposal to keep the payroll tax holiday will help 90% of America. Republicans have displayed the plutocratic tendencies that only benefit the rich and corporations by forcing working families to give more of their income to the rich. It is too bad that Republicans do not remember that historically, when a country’s population is kept in dire poverty to benefit the wealthy, bad things happen. The French Revolution is an example of what happens when a population is starving and barely subsists from day to day while the wealthy live in opulence.

When the tens of millions in the peasant class in America realize the Republicans are going to take more of their income to feed the filthy rich, it doesn’t bode well for America. When peasants do rise up and take back their money, the wealthy have no-one to blame but Republicans who felt it was better to raise taxes on the poor to enrich the ultra-rich. Republicans have shown the level of contempt and hatred they have for working Americans and the amount of love and devotion they have for the rich, and Americans should be outraged that Republicans are raising taxes on the poor when the rich continue getting tax cuts. Their tax cuts are paid for by the people who built this country and it shows just how exceptional the wealthy are to Republicans that are slowly starving hard-working Americans to death.

Sarah Palin embarked on a tour of the Northeastern United States and at each venue has twisted the facts to fit her flawed historical understanding of the most basic American history. Either Palin never went to school in America, or she really is a moron of epic standing. Regarding her standing in the political landscape, it is worth mentioning that Palin holds no office and serves no function in our government. Her role of teabagger queen garners her attention, but she has become an embarrassment to the group that prides itself for their early American gravitas although their intellectual philosophy itself is flawed when concerning the Founding Fathers’ original intent.

Palin’s description of Paul Revere’s ride to warn early Americans is another case of revisionist history gone awry. Palin claimed that Paul Revere’s famous ride was not to raise the alarm for Americans that the British were on the march toward colonists, but that he was riding to warn the British that Americans were armed and ready for them. Oops! Every 6^th grade student in America must have choked when they heard the Wasilla teabagger dispute their history lessons, but if they follow Palin and her distorted historical knowledge, they just shrugged and thought, “What an idiot.” Saturday, Palin defend her remarks as liars are wont to do when their misspeaks are exposed.

Earlier in the week, Palin claimed the “STATUTE of Liberty” was a gift from Europeans to warn Americans not to make the same mistake they made. IT is incomprehensible that a grown woman who allegedly has a college degree could be so uninformed; and just stupid. The sad part is that Palin had her young daughter in tow and the child had to experience her mother’s moronic explanation to the news media that the Statue of Liberty was a warning.  It is sad for the child that her mother is embarrassing. However, Palin is not embarrassed because if anyone in the media calls her lies into question, she brings out the victim card and will claim she is being entrapped with gotcha questions.

Today on the phony news network, Fox News, Palin defended her fallacious history lesson saying, “I didn’t mess up about Paul Revere, his ride was to warn the British, I know my American history.” Palin may know her history, but she does not know American History, or immigration history, or historical landmark history. Earlier in the week Palin commented on the Dream Act and said that immigrants used to stand in line and go through the paperwork and process to enter America at Ellis Island, and that the Dream Act eliminates that process. Unfortunately for the historically challenged Palin, she is also stupid about the Dream Act. Her description of the Ellis Island process mirrors the Dream Acts’ requirements of getting in line, going through the paperwork, pay fines if necessary and learns English. Early immigrants were not required to learn English, but Palin would not have known that because she depends on the voices in her head instead of reading or studying the Dream Act.

Sarah Palin’s problems are her stupidity and her arrogance that just because she makes a statement, it is true and everyone else is wrong. That is the problem of all charlatans and liars. Palin feels she can make up her own facts and when questioned, she ramps up the victim level and lies more to engender sympathy and support from her teabagging minions. The only benefit of having Sarah Palin touring the country and running her mouth is that there is some entertainment value. Around the country people who finished the 6^th grade are regaling in the knowledge that they are at least smarter than Sarah Palin. However, it is no mark of distinction to be smarter than Sarah Palin who cannot even get the name of the Statue of Liberty correct much less the moronic notion that it was a warning. A warning like Paul Revered gave to the British. There should be a warning on Sarah Palin’s lying mouth to alert listeners that whatever utters from this woman’s mouth is absurd and fallacious; just like Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin, the winking epitome of stupid parrots her own reliable buzz-words that although “dumber than dirt,” are her customary response to any issue that pops into her pea-sized brain. She couldn’t resist wading into the Newt Gingrich controversy a couple of weeks ago over his comment that Paul Ryan’s Pathway to Prosperity was radical for eliminating Medicare in favor of a voucher scam that  privatizes the wildly popular healthcare system. As usual, Palin’s advice and counsel to Gingrich, and indeed, all GOP presidential hopefuls was limited to her tired canard that drives intelligent people crazy for its fallaciousness and absurdity.

Palin was on Fox News coaching GOP presidential hopefuls to beware of the “leftist, lame-stream media” and their propensity of laying traps for Republicans with “gotcha” questions. It is telling that the most brilliant minds the right has to offer need coaching from the likes of Sarah Palin. Palin referred to a simple question Gingrich answered about the plan to eliminate Medicare.

Newt gave what is arguably an honest appraisal of Ryan’s plan, and has taken heat from the robotic Republicans for not praising Ryan for trying to kill seniors by eliminating their access decent healthcare. Gingrich back-peddled as fast as he could for saying the privatization scam was radical, and apologized to Ryan. He also asserted that video tape of his comment was a distortion; but Gingrich knows tape does not lie.

Palin took advantage of the incident to give sage advice to Newt and other Republican presidential hopefuls by telling them to beware of gotcha’ questions from the evil “lame-stream-media” meant to trip them up. Palin is still smarting over Katie Couric’s question during the 2008 presidential campaign about which newspapers and magazines she read. On its face, it seemed to be an easy question with no possible wrong answer, but instead of being truthful and telling Couric that she couldn’t read, Palin stammered and stumbled in a moment of severe brain-fade, and couldn’t come up with an answer and has never forgotten the gotcha moment.

Palin’s defect is that if the media doesn’t kiss her ass, she reverts to victim mode and claims the media is out to trick her, but the truth is, any question can trick a brainless moron.  If the dim-wit from Wasilla was stumped trying to remember what newspaper she read, then any question is going to be a gotcha moment, and the lame-stream media will have a field day questioning the teabagging bimbo. In the spirit of goodwill, there are some gotcha questions that hapless Palin can research and practice ahead of time so she can overcome the lame-stream media and befuddle them for a change. It’s not that anyone wants to help poor pitiful Palin; we’re just sick of hearing her say “lame-stream media” and “gotcha questions.”

On offer are questions Palin can bone-up on so the next interviewer doesn’t entrap her with gotcha questions. She can do research, find the answer, and get her brilliant husband and family to drill her in advance so her replies are second nature. Because Palin is a moron, we’ll start with a simple question first; “Ms. Palin, what is your name?” Should be reasonable and not intimidating right? How about, “Sarah, what gender are you?” She may stumble on that one, what with being a macho-hunter type and the tendency of standing up to urinate. But if all else fails, she can have Todd set up a webcam to record her tamponing herself…unless she goes old-school and just lets it flow.

The gotcha question Palin will really have to bone-up (wink, wink) on, is when did she realize she was pregnant with Trig. There’s the whole immaculate-conception thing, don’t ya know. She’ll have problems explaining how she went from no fetus to being in late third-trimester overnight, but being Sarah and having black-magic witchdoctors on staff doing their thing should help jog her feeble memory. If all else fails, she can just do a DNA test to prove she really was pregnant. But it seems like she’s must remember carrying some being in her uterus; what with being a bear-dog-mama creature and that whole bestiality thing. Either way, if she does her homework, practices answering those questions, she can avoid the lame-stream media’s gotcha moments and turn the tables on some poor deviant interviewer.

Intelligent folks are willing to go to any lengths to avoid ever hearing the Alaska-anaerobe say gotcha or lamestream media again, but hiding in a cave without outside communication is unacceptable. The “lame –stream-media can do one or two things to save the rest of America from ever hearing Palin speak again. They can stop covering the fool, or start questioning her like an adult. If she is going to behave like a spoiled moron, start asking her serious questions so all of America can see what a brainless petulance she really is. Shutting up Palin would be a patriotic endeavor and the media needs to start being patriotic; and intelligent.

Palin Deflecting Gotcha Question

Of special interest is Michele Bachmann’s fascination with the Constitution as she sees it, and her insane ideology that the Founders fought to end slavery and promote the idea that a violent, bloody revolution is a regular occurrence makes her the prime idiot of all things Constitutional. Bachmann’s insistence on teaching the Constitution to freshman legislators with the help of associate Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, shows her basic misunderstanding of the Constitution. Scalia and Bachmann are owned and operated by Dick Armey and the Koch Brothers who are making a play at becoming the first dictators in American history. Bachmann is a stupid half-wit who wants America to return to the 1790s and follow the original Constitution without any of the amendments that were added as the country progressed into the 19^th and 20^th Century.

Bachmann is joined by the ex-governor of Alaska in the push to return to the 1790s, and therein lies the ultimate expression of stupidity. Palin is a nothing in the political arena or the governing process because she holds no political office, and couldn’t even fulfill her obligation to finish her term as Alaska’s governor; plus she demonstrates her abject stupidity every time she opens her vile mouth. Palin likes to portray herself as a folksy, all-American who deserves to set policy and correct the real politicians with Facebook entries and Twitter comments that show the depth of her stupidity. Sarah Palin’s biggest scam is convincing her followers’ that she is relevant in American government.

Here is a news flash for Sarah Palin; you serve in no capacity of governance in America. Your are a sideshow oddity that intelligent people laugh at. At least Bachmann is a member of Congress and votes on legislation. Palin has no voice in Congress, any state house, or the White House. During the Egyptian protests and demonstrations, Palin questioned President Obama’s handling of information coming out of Egypt. The stupid maggot had the audacity to challenge the President to release the information he had regarding the protestor’s motives and backing. That in itself was ridiculous, but for Palin to demand to be briefed by the president’s national security policy advisors shows the level of arrogance and outright stupidity.

Both Palin and Bachmann display the ignorance and lack of cognition that typifies the teabagger culture. The fact that they want to return to the 1790s is the ultimate display of stupidity. Neither Bachmann nor Palin understand that women could not vote, serve on a jury, or own property in the Founder’s days. In fact, they don’t understand the Constitution they demand America return to treated women as second-class citizens. Palin and Bachmann would only be allowed to clean the urine and feces out of their husbands’ chamber pots in the Founders’ days.

If the teabaggers want to be taken seriously, they must find candidates and spokespersons with a rudimentary knowledge of the Constitution and history. If Palin is an expert on Russia because she can see it from her front porch, and Bachmann thinks the Founders ended slavery, they don’t deserve the right to vote or to open their filthy stupid mouths. America is slowly sinking to the level of third world nation status and it is in part because Americans are following the lead of stupid teabagger proponents like Bachmann and Palin. Bachmann is an embarrassment to Americans and is guilty of sedition and treason, and Palin is just a shameful whore who will say or do anything for publicity.

Teabaggers cannot be as stupid as their two female cheerleaders, but if they keep supporting stupidity, their relevance will sink to the level of Palin and Bachmann’s intelligence. Palin and Bachmann embarrass themselves when they open their mouths, but they are starting to embarrass America. The pity is that they really don’t know they typify abject stupidity. However, Americans are catching on and it is about time because the country cannot afford to suffer through one more day of the teabaggers or their stupid little cheerleaders.

As Sun Tzu wrote centuries ago, all warfare is based on deception. The American far right is poised to win back their ‘America” by winning back the US House of Representatives on November 2nd. Did 4 years of Liberal rule in America shift the American center-Right Paradigm balance of Power? Probably not, but after 20 years of Republican control of the Presidency and Supply Side economics since 1980 (67% of this period), the US national debt has increased 63% under 3 Republican Presidents. W Bush 43 added 27% to the US National debt according the CBO and 15% by Bush 41 and 21% under Reagan for a total of 63% or $8 trillion in crippling debt.

The Raison D’être for the Tea Party rise has been the unmitigated spike in US Budget Spending, and how the American political elites and MSM conglomerates responded to this crisis. They of course have championed the seven fledgling ad-hoc Tea Party groups advocating 50% reduction in govt. spending, abolition of Departments of education and privatizing of Social Security. To deflect the ongoing anger in “Middle” America and in the White male political quagmire known as hate radio, the Democratic Party, Obama Admin & the sinister shadowy specter of Keynesian economics have been targeted as the primary culprits in the roots of the debt crisis. How the Tea Party can tackle America’s Budget debt of $13.67 Trillion, and total US Govt Federal, State and Municipal debt at an astonishing $54.7 Trillion, or total unfunded liabilities $110 Trillion in 2010 leaves an observer incredulous.

The mere fact that the MSM has ignored the Republican role of taking a peace time economy budget surplus that reached a peak of $237 billion in 2000 & in 2001 with a federal budget surplus of $127 billion from the Democratic Clinton Admin and turned it into a nearly $1.3 Trillion yearly budget deficit by 2008-09 should be regarded as the most over-looked fact in modern US politics. The silence of the MSM in this regard allowed the GOP to create the narrative that the Democrats were tax and spending record deficits just as the Obama Admin coped with the regressive Bush decade of real household income declines, record household debts, mortgage defaults and toxic Republican approved bundled mortgage derivatives.

The Tea Partiers are merely props by ‘What’s the Matter With Kansas” Republican elites and are buying the vitriol memes of the Beck and Rush Limbaugh hate merchants, who have become multi-millionaires selling over-priced merchandise shirts, pawned gold, books and gimmicks to a class of white blue collar voters who could ill afford them. Red Meat for the populist masses of angry white males have turned America into a Nation of French Revolution era Jacobins who want revolution and chaos more than good and responsible government.

So what now after the GOP wins the House back? Will structural deficits suddenly vanish, even as US tax rates are at their lowest since 1950? Of course not, the cycle will simply start over again. Debt and deficits will grow, and tax revenues will continue to shrink. The enthusiastic Tea friendly Independent voter will then turn on the far right in the next cycle but at what cost for American civil liberties, education and health-care rights? The era of shut down government will return, and impeachment of Obama will be a certainty for the extremist far right leaning House elected in 2010.

No one in the media is pointing to how under 3 GOP Administrations, the US Chamber and their Republican allies have exported US industrial plants to Mexico, China, and to the Philippines and created the massive influx of angry white working voters in the Rust belt. Instead of promoting the Obama Admin’s green tech plans to reinvent US industry, the GOP and the US Chamber advise the S&P 500 largest US corporations to sit on $1.8 Trillion in cash and or near-cash reserves. Better to have the Obama Admin fail then have America prosper once again under a centrist Democratic President.

The era of right wing media memes has arrived, as seen by the hiring of Fox News and hate radio style GOP party sycophants on CNN, and on ABC News. Revisionist economic analysis on how America somehow prospered under GOP “Voodoo” economics is beyond any modern comprehension. We are however being told to sit down, shut up and learn from these modern economic Austrian School of Economics miracle workers. Opportunities multiply as they are seized wrote Sun Tzu, and we are at that defining moment that Obama forewarned us back in 2008.

There are myriad problems in America, and Angle chooses to pick on undocumented workers for the sole purpose of scaring white voters.  Angle’s campaign has exposed her as a shallow candidate with absolutely no clue to the problems America is facing. Her polarizing comments are meant to be divisive, and using race shows the depth of her contempt for decency.

Angle’s position on every issue pits good white people against disadvantaged citizens, and in the process, shows her disregard for the people she would represent. She labeled retired people as welfare recipients who cost America valuable resources despite the fact that to receive Social Security benefits, a worker had to pay in to the system.

Nevadans must realize that  Angle does not have their best interests in mind when she supports dumping nuclear waste in the state, wants to privatize the Veteran’s Administration and Social Security, and considers “second amendment remedies” a solution for changing leadership in Washington.

She also advocates forcing victims of rape and incest to have the babies and opposes aid for everything. There is nothing in Angle’s policy positions for the people of Nevada, and now she has doubled down on the hateful racial-divide card.

Angle is working hard to inflame the racist element in Nevada into giving her votes, and instead of offering solutions, she blamed Canada, Mexico, and Harry Reid for an immigration system that is in need of an overhaul. It is disturbing, though, that she characterizes all Latinos as criminals.

There aren’t many people who point to Angle’s intelligence as a reason to vote for her, and attacking Latinos is sure to cost her plenty of votes. Latinos should feel insulted by Angle’s characterization of them as criminals and drug smugglers. Demonizing any group will always have its benefits with bigots and racists, but the long-term results are dangerous.

Taking Aim At Latinos

America is filled with hate-filled bigots who don’t need encouraging, but Angle is giving credence to the idea of a race war.

Sharron Angle does not belong in the United States Senate for many reasons. The last attempt to paint all Latinos as criminals shows Angle has no conceptual understanding of America. Demonizing immigrants is part of our history, and every era has proven that immigrants are an asset regardless of the fear and loathing from bigots like Angle.

Using race as a divisive tool may work in the short term, but as America becomes more racially homogenized, candidates like Angle will rue the day they played the race card.  The Constitution makes no laws regarding race just like it makes no laws regarding religion. But then again, Angle has no understanding of the Constitution making her unqualified to be a Senator. The only thing Angle understands is hate. She hates retired people, poor and unemployed people, education, veterans, minorities and democracy. America doesn’t need any more hate and it doesn’t need Sharron Angle; not as a Senator, or as a citizen.

The attack yesterday on a Move On activist by Rand Paul’s supporters is the latest violence, and it is a natural progression that will only get worse. The teabaggers began the violent rhetoric by claiming their freedoms are being taken away, and they had to live under tyranny of the Obama Administration. The teabagger rallies are rife with posters touting guns and god, and they carry the revolutionary flag that says, “Don’t tread on me” as if their liberty is in jeopardy.

The reason the teabaggers feel their liberties are being taken away is a black man is sitting in the Oval Office. Conservative groups seized on the racial fear, and candidates like Sharron Angle suggest a “second amendment remedy” if Obama doesn’t relent and follow the conservative white man’s orders.

A Texas preacher running for Congress, Steven Broden, says that violent revolution is on the table if leadership isn’t changed in Washington. Michelle Bachmann announced that she wants Minnesota residents to be “armed and dangerous” in case the Federal Government enforces Federal laws.

In Florida, a campaign worker was harassed by a motorcycle group who felt it was appropriate to use intimidation to sway voters. Now, Rand Paul’s people attack a female protester, throw her to the ground, and stomp on her head.

These Nazi tactics are not the way Democracy used to work in America, and is only being used by right-wing extremist groups. The violence used by these groups has caused the death of an abortion doctor, and the murderer shows no regret. The sad aspect is that the murderer has widespread support from Christians for murdering a doctor during a church service.

America is heading down a dark path, and for a country that is allegedly a Christian nation, the Christian Dominionists support violence if they believe it helps their cause. There has been no outcry from Christians or Republicans because they think it is to their benefit to silently approve of any means necessary to steer America toward a Corporate Theocracy.

It is high time the Federal government step in and begin prosecuting the violence and intimidation from the right. Conservatives make no secret that they will use any means to get control of the country for the corporate world and Christian bigots.

America is a nation of laws, and the law works for all sides. Violence and intimidation are against the law and until the Nazi teabaggers are prosecuted, they will continue making threats against liberty; and America.

Lower taxes is a mantra Republicans have chanted for years, and they continue with wanting to make the Bush era tax cuts permanent. The have even connected the Bush tax cuts to middle-class tax cuts that 95% of American people got from President Obama. The teabaggers protest and complain that they are “Taxed Enough Already,” when in truth, their taxes were cut and teabaggers on Social Security paid no taxes whatsoever.

But teabaggers believe Fox News pundits and corporate liars when they tell them they are paying too much in taxes, and the poor corporations and filthy rich people are suffering because the Bush tax cuts are expiring. Now, the propaganda is that America needs to cut corporate taxes so American companies can compete.

The pertinent question is: how much lower than 0% can corporate tax rates go?  According to Forbes, corporate giants like Bank of America, Citibank, GE, and many others paid exactly zero net taxes, and it’s not because they didn’t make profits, because they did.  The tax code gives corporations loopholes to avoid paying the same taxes most Americans do.

Maybe the corporations and their shills in the Republican Party expect working class Americans to pay their taxes for them. But wait, we do pay taxes for them every year, and still it’s not enough to satisfy the greedy rich people.

In order for corporations to pay less than 0.0%, Americans will have to start paying them and since working class Americans are paying taxes, we are effectively paying corporations to do business.

Republicans claim that Americans should reduce corporate tax rates, and in turn, they get campaign contributions from the corporations.  Republican candidates say American corporations suffer the highest tax rate in the world, and cite other countries that pay 18% corporate taxes. Most of us working class Americans are not mathematical geniuses, but we can decipher that 00.00% is less that 18%. It must be the Republican candidate’s “new math” that allows them to figure something less than 0.0% for the corporations.

Of course, many of the candidates that stump for lower corporate tax rates are failed corporate executives like Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman, and Linda McMahon. Then the idiot teabagger candidates like Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and moron extraordinaire, Sarah Palin, repeat the corporate tax lies that contributors tell them.

President Obama gave a tax cut to 95% of Americans, but teabaggers complain they need a tax cut and protest the richest 2% getting a tax increase. There is something wrong in America, and it boils down to stupid people being manipulated by rich people. When people vote against their own self-interest, there is little anyone can do except shake their heads in disbelief and mourn for America. Our country is giving away the farm to corporations, and ignorant people are buying into the lies Republicans are spreading. One solution is for President Obama to give a speech informing voters about their tax cuts and show that corporations are getting every advantage possible at the expense of working families.

Unfortunately, Fox News and its corporate shills will continue lying to its audience and indoctrinating the stupid segment of the public into thinking that corporations are hurting. There is not much hope for America, and when 95% of Americans are living in poverty while corporations reap obscene profits, perhaps things will change. But for now, Americans are just too stupid to see reality and America will fall into worse disrepair.

The reason the Chamber is able to take foreign money is because of the Supreme Court’s decision that corporations are individuals with the right of free speech. The Chamber of Commerce is just doing what the SCOTUS has given them permission to do.

However, the audacity of the Chamber of Commerce president, Tom Donahue, in saying over and over again that outsourcing is good for business shows where his loyalties are. For the record, it is obviously good for corporations to move jobs to a country where a dollar a day is a good wage. No argument there.

But is it good for American workers? Of course it isn’t; but the mood in the corporate world is workers be damned, and as long as corporations are successful, any means are justified. The question arises though; what happens when Americans are too destitute to buy the cheap, Chinese made products? Will that be good for business?

Because corporations only care about the short term bottom line, whatever they can profit from today justifies killing the middle-class. Republicans are indignant when they are questioned on the wisdom of moving jobs out of the country as if it is un-American to question corporations.

It is ridiculous that Republicans blocked legislation that would strip tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas, and even worse that they attacked the bill as un-American. The real truth is that Republicans consider corporations as America. They have forgotten that American people are America and their voting records bear that out.

It is good for business to outsource jobs, and in that respect, Donahue was not lying.  But he reveals a mindset that corporations are America, and although commerce is crucial to America’s fiscal health, it should not be at the expense of the poor and middle class.

It is sad that Americans vote for Republican policies that are against their own self interest, but Americans aren’t getting any smarter and that’s the way Republicans like it. When Americans are so poor they can’t buy any products, what will the corporate world do? But that’s looking to the future, and corporations are only interested in the current  quarter’s profits. It’s time for American people to reject corporate favoritism, but they’re not smart enough for that, and when they do realize their plight, they’ll be too poor to do anything about it.
