A few thoughts about how progressives have shaped and changed our American Culture


A couple thoughts...

Thought No. 1: 


The things that Obama says about conducting studies to determine why energy prices are so high can really only be described as a farce.

The fact that Obama succeeded in getting the masses to vote for him in his first presidential election is a clear evidence of why Democracy does not work.  The masses are often misguided into voting for something that they do not understand.

Obama's supposed caring for our pain at obtaining energy to run our businesses and move our families around town, rings pretty hollow when you consider that within the last few months, after closing down off shore oil drilling to companies that provide energy to America, he granted several $Billion dollars to Brazil to help pay for their off shore oil exploration and extraction.  After which he made a public declaration that "America wanted to be Brazil's best customer!"  All the while not doing a thing to facilitate the access of the vast amount of energy reserves under the surface of America. There is more energy reserves under the north slope of Alaska, under Utah, and under Colorado and Wyoming to last America for another 500 years! 

And we have the technology to extract our energy reserves without doing damage to the environment, so that argument does not work any more. We do not have to be  dependent on OPEC Nations that we are now subject too, who would just as well kill us if they could. 

Obama's commenting about conducting a study to find out w
hy gasoline prices are so high is really nothing more than re-election rhetoric.  It is an attempt to get people to think he cares and that he is doing something, so that they will
be more inclined to vote for him in 2012. 

On top of all that, there is the fact that George Soros, the multi billionaire tycoon who has personally, successfully collapsed the economies of other countries, has major stock and interest in the Brazilian oil industry.  So these billions of dollars Obama gave to Brazil are directly benefitting George Soros.  You may recall Mr. Soros made blantant announcements that he intends to collapse the American economy as well.  George Soros is definitely in league with Progressives, if he is not their actual leader in chief. 

So tell me again how much Obama really cares about finding out why gasoline prices are so high for American consumers? 

The truth of the matter is that Obama and his Progressive cronies are deliberately doing everything they can to collapse our economic system, so that the doorway can be opened up to dissolving our current Republic, and installing an oligarchy that leads to a world government.

If Obama and his cronies did any of the things he needs to do
to get us off foreign oil dependence, etc. and keep prices
affordable for the average American consumer, that would fly
contrary to the progressive agenda, which is primarily to
collapse our country, by first collapsing our economic system.

This can all be verified in the writings of Saul Alinsky, and
Cloward & Piven, which are blue prints for the deliberate
process the progressives are following to destroy our
freedom... our liberty and rights.

So for the suggestion to be made that Obama is doing things
wrong... as if he is just a democrat with bad policy, is not really an accurate assessment.  Obama is doing things exactly and deliberately as he intends, for collapsing our economy and destroying our republic. Indeed there are many progressives who are upset with Obama because they think he is not moving fast enough to collapse our government!  Obama is an enemy to the Constitution and a traitor to our Republic.  I would suggest that he certainly qualifies to be dispatched back to the spirit world for quiet solitude and meditation.  


Thought No. 2:


I understand the idea and thought about needing to create
more jobs for our economy.  Politicians have talked about the
need to create more jobs for as long as I have been kicking
around on this little blue planet of ours.


In my business, what I do is help other people create their
own business, by using and then reselling an automatic
budgeting software program.

Part of that program includes a special tool that automatically
calculates tax write offs for the self employed.  There are many,
tax deductions and write offs available to those who are self employed and many self employed people do not know about all of them.  The software program I teach people how to promote
helps to identify those available deductions and saves the average self employed person as much as $200 a month in legitimate, IRS endorsed, tax write offs. 


Here is the rub... the average employee does not get even close to the amount of tax reduction benefits that a self employed individual qualifies to receive.  I find it interesting to note that before the 1900's most people made their living by being in business for self.  Indeed for the first 150 years of this American nation, our country was built on the backs of entrepreneurs.


In the early years of the 1900's, we started to shift away from being entrepreneurs and settling for being employees, as progressives
started to make their moves to destroy the greatness of America. They took over the national education system and started teaching kids to be good employees instead of entrepreneurs.  As a result, our culture today is filled with the constant political rhetoric about how much everyone needs a job and how the government is supposed to "do more" to create jobs.  Why?  Why does every one need to have a job?  Why are we not encouraging and teaching people to start their own businesses, instead of looking for a job?  Certainly those who are paying attention recognize that there is no more security in having a job today. 


I am going to suggest a couple reasons that can be observed from
paying attention to our history over the last 100 years... 


One reason is to keep people paying more taxes. You see, the government collects much more taxes from employees who have their taxes deducted out of their paychecks before they get paid. 
I would suggest that if the majority of people had to pay their taxes after they got paid, instead of before, we would have had another revolution by now.
 
On the other hand, the self employed entrepreneur does not
have someone else deduct their taxes out of their pay checks. 
They have to pay their taxes on their own at some period of time
in the future after they earn their money.  If self employed people do their research and know what they are doing, they pay less tax
than the average employee does.  So it stands to reason that
our corrupt government is more interested in talking about and
promoting "Jobs" because the government can collect much
more from employees than from the self employed entrepreneurs.
And at the same time they promote class envy, to convince the "jobbers" that the so called "rich" are not paying their fair share of the tax burden. 

It is so much easier to control employees who have so many of their day to day decisions made for them by a boss or larger corporate executive leadership, which can be and often is, in league with progressive leadership.  Controlling entrepreneurs who design and shape their own destiny is certainly much more challenging.  Hence you see why there is so much government regulation on entrepreneurialism.  

You can also start to understand why there is so much desire by progressives to raise taxes on the supposed "rich" people of America.  Who are the rich?  Progressives never seem to qualify what the criteria is for being rich, but I can assure you that it  includes everyone who is self employed.  It is the so called "Rich" people who own businesses and employ people with "jobs." 

So what is going to happen if rich entrepreneurs are forced to pay more taxes? Many of them are going to go out of business.  What happens then? All their employees lose their jobs.  What happens then?  Many of those employees, when they are unable to find other jobs, may very well end up on Government Welfare, unemployement checks.  What happens when the government has more people on Welfare than producing tax paying income?  The economic system collapses and the Republic is dissolved and an oligarchy government is set up in it's place, moving us towards one world government. 

Are you starting to see a deliberate process here?  Remember Saul Alinsky and Cloward & Piven?  It is all in their writings.  Don't take my word for it. Go find out for yourself!


The other reason is because of the adulteration of Capitalism. 
The whole concept of Capitalism has been perverted over the
last century.  True Capitalism is about people using resources
to be in business, creating products or services that they sell
for more than it cost them to make the product, or provide a  service, thus manufacturing a profit, and thereby make their living. 


Unfortunately, Capitalism has been exploited by Corporations
where the owners or board of directors have grown greedy,
and have built their companies into huge Corporations with so
many millions or billions of dollars behind them, that there is
no way for small time entrepreneurs to compete.
 
One example out of many like this, is Monsato.  Monsato has literally forced hundreds of small time farmers out of business with their genetic mutations of seeds that they have patents on. Those genetically mutated patented seeds end up blown by the wind into the fields of small time farmers, who are then constrained to pay fees to Monsato.  If they do not pay, they are then sued for having the Monsato seed in their crops.


As a result, Monsato is a multi billion dollar corporation that has
thousands of employees, who are paying lots of taxes to the
government, and Monsato owns a huge share of all farming in
the USA.  And wouldn't you know it, they happen to be in league
with progressive politicians making legislation that favors their
big corporations and disfavors small time entrepreneurs. 


What better way for progressives to control the masses of
people, than to have the masses forced to work as employee
minions of giant corporations who are mostly out for power
and greed.


Now, in fairness, I must say that not all big corporations are out
to control the masses and deliberately put small business
competitors out of business. But much of big business does use their
huge amounts of capital to maintain power and control over
people in many ways, too numerous to expand on right here,
right now.


I would suggest that Capitalism as it is practiced today by big
power hungry corporations should really be called Corporatism. 
Capitalism is a good thing.  Giant corporations that control
people's lives and put small time entrepreneurs out of business
is not a good thing.  Capitalism is good. Corporatism is not good.
In fact I would be so bold as to say Corporatism is out-n-out evil!


Progressives in the media, the Universities and the Halls of
Government love to talk about the evils of Capitalism. Which is
ironic, since it was Progressives who set up the very circumstances that have lead to how perverted Capitalism has become.


It was the early 1900's when Progressives under Teddy
Roosevelt and later on, more so under Woodrow Wilson,
started to create all kinds of bureaucratic controls on
business, making regulation tighter and tougher for the average
person to be an entrepreneur.  Eventually it got to a point that
mostly big corporations that had plenty of capital to deal with
the regulations, or to even find ways to get around the regulation,
continued to grow and dominate and be motivated by power
and greed, making capitalism look really bad. 


But as I said before, Capitalism, as it was originally intended to be, is a good thing, and we as a nation would be better off if we were
to go back to a truly capitalistic society where people work as
small time entrepreneurs, instead of all this focus on creating
more jobs for people to be able to pay more taxes and have
less freedom and control over their own lives as they are 
controlled by the big corporations and big progressive
government.


Definitely some things to think about and take some action on.


Would love to have your thoughts and feedback.

Is the end of our Nation as we now know it on the horizon?

It has been said by honest and well intentioned people within my hearing that there are those who believe that we need to return to constitutionally responsible government.  That government should be prevented from borrowing money and that the outrageous debt that looms over our liberty and freedom, should be paid down to lower the principal and interest.  Pay the interest on the Federal debt, and some on the principal.  Bring all of our troops home and close our boarders.  Do not allow borrowing, as the government should operate on current revenue only. 
  
My counsel and support would be to do what was suggested above insofar as bringing our troops home and securing our boarders.  But I don't feel the same about paying down the principle and interest on the national debt.  What has the Trillions of dollars that make up the debt gone for?  Where is the accountability for all that money?  I have not seen one penny of it.  Have you?  Has anyone?  Do we have government of the people, by the people and for the people, or don't we?  If we do, as we are supposed to, I know I certainly did not authorize the spending of all that money. I know that my state representative in Congress did not authorize it.  I cannot say the same for our representatives in the Senate, how ever.  I am very  glad to have Bob Bennett out of the Senate, and look forward to seeing Orrin Hatch go home to spend more time with his family as well. 

But, I have not seen any accounting for what that Trillions of dollars has been used for.  The Federal Reserve has issued worthless money, that the Federal government has done, who- knows-what with, and we and our children's, children's, children, are expected to be slaves to work for the rest of our lives to pay back the principal and interest on that worthless money? 
I don't think so!  I say we make up a large coin made out of pot ash waste metal, that reads $14 Trillion on the side of the coin, or whatever the debt amount is up to when the time comes, and we pay back the debt with that.  It will have about as much value as the worthless currency they give us.

I think a better and wiser strategy is to abolish the Federal Reserve completely, altogether, which is not a government agency to begin with.

If we must have a national banking system, then there should be a national bank headquarters, with assigned branches in each State.  One percent of the interest the bank collects from borrowers, should be sufficient to pay for operating costs of the bank, and the remainder of the profits from interest on loans should be turned over to a general national fund to eliminate or at least cut way down on the need for taxes by the National government.  In the same manner,   any State banks would be allowed to use their profits to eliminate or cut way back on State taxes.


What say ye?  Am I engaged in wishful thinking?  I think not.  It may not come to pass any time soon, but I believe that it will come to pass before the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. America will be cleansed of the wicked who have perverted the right ways of God, and destroyed our constitutionally limited government, which was inspired and instituted by the God of this land, Himself.  In centuries past, such cleansing of the wicked has most often happened through pestilence or war.  I believe that this time, the cleansing of America will happen by pestilence.  Most likely a serious plague like desease similar to the bubonic plague of the 13th century in Europe.  After the cleansing, a new government that uses our same Old Glory American Flag, and follows our current Constitution as it was written in 1787, and models the governing system implemented by Moses with the children of Israel will be set up.  And some time after that, the Great and terrible day of the Lord will occur, and then it won't matter any more.  :-)
