Hiya, Russ!
So... buddy... ONE-PERCENTER... (*WINK*) (If not one
percent... then close, right; definitely within the top 2% - right?) You noted
awhile back that you do read the blog. I appreciate that!
Am I getting through? Facts... reason... effective tools
to sway you or do you find yourself impervious to them?
(*SMILE*)
Hey... am I gonna see ya on Friday...?!?! (I hope so!)
Anyway... this was gonna be just another newsbite, but I
figured... what the heck... why not give ol' Rich a poke.
(*WINK*)
Ya know I love ya, Big Guy! You... and... (*PAUSE*)... "HE
WHOSE NAME DARE NOT BE MENTIONED!"

* GUESS WHO SAID:
If Republicans win control of both the House and Senate,
“the interests of billionaires will come before the needs of the middle class.”
* GIVE UP?
President Barack Obama said at a $32,500-a-plate
fundraiser...
...at the $16 million Greenwich, Connecticut, estate of a
billionaire named (I’m not making this up)...
...Rich Richman.
(*GUFFAW*)
You can’t top that remark for hypocrisy or the setting
for irony. It isn’t the middle class who write $32,500 checks.
The Obama administration “protected Wall Street, not
families who were losing their homes, not people who lost their jobs. And it
happened over and over and over,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., told the
liberal webzine Salon.
* AND SHE SPOKE THE TRUTH!
Ms. Fauxcahontas isn’t right about much, but she is about
that.
(*NOD*)
Administration policies have rewarded Wall Streeters
whose reckless lending magnified the sub-prime mortgage crisis. “You’ve got Wall
Street criminals walking free, sipping tea at the White House,” said left-wing
academic Cornel West.
(*ANOTHER NOD*)
Supplying bupkes for most Americans, the $787 billion
stimulus bill produced bonanzas for the politically connected. A disaster for
consumers and taxpayers, ObamaCare fattened the bottom line of insurance
companies.
Billionaire Tom Steyer? He figures to profit from Mr.
Obama’s foot-dragging on the Keystone XL pipeline!
The top group of fundraisers for Mr. Obama raised
$457,834 for his 2008 campaign – and were approved for federal grants and loans
of $11.4 billion, according to the Government Accountability Institute.
Selling access to the federal treasury has been a great
way for Democrats to raise campaign funds. Since 1989, according to an analysis
by Gateway Pundit, big donors have provided $416 million more in direct
contributions to Democrats than Republicans.
* FOLKS... RE-READ THAT - PLEASE! (HERE...)
Since 1989, according to an analysis by Gateway Pundit,
big donors have provided $416 million more in direct contributions to Democrats
than Republicans.
(*SILENCE*)
Seven of the 10 wealthiest counties voted to re-elect the
president.
Democrats represent eight of the 10 wealthiest
congressional districts.
There are more Democrats than Republicans among the 268
millionaires in Congress.
* HOW CAN PEOPLE STILL... NOT... GET... IT...?!?!
There were 9.63 million households last year with a net
worth of $1 million or more, up from 6.7 million in 2008. The wealthiest 1%
received 22.46% of the national income in 2012, up from 18.12% in 2009,
calculated economist Emmanuel Saez.
* UNDER OBAMA THE RICH HAVE GOTTEN RICHER...
The income of the bottom 99% shrank 0.4%, Mr. Saez said.
Adjusted for inflation, median household income was 8%
lower in 2013 than before the Great Recession began.
* AND WE ALL KNOW THE GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY UNDERSTATES
INFLATION BY REFUSING TO FACTOR IN FOOD AND FUEL! (MEANING IT'S WORSE - MUCH
WORSE - THAN 8%!)
The middle class (those who earn between the 30th and
70th percentiles) accounted for 53% of the national income in 1970, just 45% in
2012, according to demographer Joel Kotkin, who says “the biggest issue facing
the American economy, and our political system, is the gradual descent of the
middle class into proletarian status.”
(*PURSED LIPS*)
The average compensation of federal employees last year
was 74% higher than for workers in the private sector.
* ONE... MORE... TIME...
The average compensation of federal employees last year
was 74% higher than for workers in the private sector.
Few would begrudge government workers higher pay and
benefits if they earn it. But from the Centers for Disease Control to the
Veterans Administration, incompetence, neglect and corruption seem more the
rule than the exception. Little wonder, when the chief consequences for
malfeasance are a lengthy paid vacation or retirement with generous benefits.
By shielding bureaucrats from accountability, Democrats have made “public
servant” an oxymoron.
(*NOD*)
The middle class is shrinking because policies designed
to benefit those who feed at the public trough clobber economic growth. The
chief difference between the New Oligarchs and the robber barons of yesteryear
is that the robber barons had an interest in a vibrant middle class, Mr. Kotkin
says in his new book, “The New Class Conflict.” “Gentry liberals” don’t.
* EXACTLY RIGHT!
In the past, Democrats “recognized broad-based economic
growth was a necessary precursor to upward mobility and social justice,” Mr.
Kotkin wrote. Now they adopt policies that restrict growth.
