Orwellian in nature is the only way to describe Barry
Obama's taxation thought process. I just finished reading the linked article and was visibly jaw droppingly stunned at the end result of Barry HO's thought in regards to taxation and the American economy.
My synopsis:
- The American economy is too fragile to rescind the Bush tax cuts.
- If the economy is slipping into recession, the Bush tax cuts must be left in place to allow the economy to (presumably) heal itself.
- Rescinding the Bush tax cuts would harm the economy.
I must have slipped into a doppleganger universe somehow this morning. In examining the B HO's statements, they don't make sense at all!
The American economy is too fragile to rescind the Bush tax cuts.
OK, that would mean the economy will be harmed by removing the Bush tax cuts, so instead of removing the Bush tax cuts right away and harming the economy soon, NObama is going to wait until the tax cuts expire on their own, and allow the economy to be harmed later.
I agree harmed later is better than harmed sooner, but why damage the American economy at all Barry?
If the economy is slipping into recession, the Bush tax cuts must be left in place to allow the economy to (presumably) heal itself.
In this case, the Bush tax cuts are going to heal a economy which is need of healing. Fine so far, but, if the Bush tax cuts are capable of healing the economy now, what is wrong with allowing the Bush tax cuts to become permanent to produce a stronger and more robust economy later? For those who are going to work to keep the Socialist Security program funded.
That would be our kids and grandkids who will attempt to staunch the flow of Socialist Security money from those who pay into the account to those who don't pay into the account. Illegal Alien Economic Invaders, various neer do-wells who refuse to work because they are "afflicted" with alcoholism, drug abuse, obesity, lack of obesity, couldn't finish High School due to being distracted by having seven children in a row by seven different fathers or fathering seven children with seven different mothers and all of the other "ills" which qualify a person to live at the very edge of destitution for the rest of their lives. - (As an aside - A common monthly payment for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is $841. Which is the typical Yuppie or GenX budget at Starbucks every month.)
Also note that there are new "disabilities" added to the list on an annual basis, to produce more nonpaying recipients of Socialist Security.
- Rescinding the Bush tax cuts would harm the economy.
Duh.... Let me think about that for a nanosecond. OK. If rescinding the Bush tax cut is going to harm the economy - Why do it at all???
The final conclusion I came up with is the old Bush Derangment Syndrome, Bush is bad, Bush is evil, Bush is stupid.... maybe on that one...
Bush is lies, Bush is Anti-Christ, Bush is the person who killed Martin Luther king Jr., Bush killed Elvis, Bush personally set the bombs in the World Trade Center, ad nauseum extremis.
It won't matter to Barry the HO if the economy is harmed temporarily or permanently by eliminating the Bush tax cuts which have shown themseves to shore up a failing system.
The harm to te American economy is secondary to removing the legacy of W, slight as it is for holding the American Economy together after 9/11.
In George Orwells book "1984" is a character whose name is
Emmanuel Goldstein, a person who was instrumental in founding "The Party" but was later reviled and the subject of a daily "two minute hate" for everyone in Oceania. Bush is that guy, every Liberal on the planet nowdays does a daily "two minute hate" with W being the subject of that hate.
The correlations betwen Orwells 1984 and the state of the current Liberal population is chilling.
The Daily Kos, HuffPost, the Democrat Party and the rest of the UberlIberals are in the position of the Thought Police for the Liberal Establisnment.
If that seems far fetched, join a Liberal Blog, then try to dissent from the safe and secure talking points and BDS. You will as I have, find yourself out on your keester, blocked from posting or simply have your account deleted for Thought Crimes against the Liberal Angst Machine Blather (LAMB)
The American economy has in the past been the economioc engine of the planet, we were and still are, capable of paying our own way in the world. But we are now aslo saddled with a CONgress which sees my paycheck and the income from my business as nothing but a money pool to use for Planetary Welfare.
It must stop before we are truly bankrupt. We are nearly there now, but we could fight our way back out of debt if only CONgress would stop writing checks to every socieatal ill why percieve as needing to be fixed with the tax dollars of the American People.
I have an idea which may catch on some day, if nation X is in trouble because their people live within three feet of sea level and it floods every time a big ship goes by. Maybe they should live somewhere else? (Bangladesh)
If nation Y is having a problem because the past and current Socialist Dictator absorbed 80% of the GDP and put it in a Swiss bank account, maybe they should ask the Swiss to give it back? (North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Mexico, most of the African nations, + + + )
And if nation Z is being threatened by their neighbors, lets figure out a payment plan they can live with before a single American Soldier stubs his or her toe outside the Continental US of A... Got Oil?? We can help quick, Got sand? So do we.
I don't believe the US needs to be an isolationist nation, but we must decide how we are going to finance the wars we go to before we go to them, it's called pre-planning. It's what I do at work and in my business, and it works.
Wandering aimlessly looking for a fight will not work, reacting to external stimuli with no thought of consequences doesn't work either.
Humpty Dumpty could have done some pre-planning and fared much better.
Are we as a nation as smart as Humpty Dumpty? Seems so at this point, as I continue to listen to Barry the HO talk.
Can we be smarter than Humpty Dumpty?
