Post 319 A: Idiocracy, part 3.
I had neglected to mention in Post 318 A:, 'Imagine yourself a P.O.S.T. Certified Law Enforcement Officer, using mace.'
I'm sure you all must have noticed the United States sinks deeper into debt with China while the keepers of the flame (Congress and the Senate) pull up there pants.
The Republican want to cut Social Security claiming falsely that "it's those old people taking to much money out of the system." Yet they will almost chew off their own arm than to raise taxes on the wealthy. The wealth have gotten a lot wealthier in the last fifteen years, mostly by cutting jobs in the U.S.A. and sending them to China. Yet the Republicans shield them.
Let's face it, a $400,000 a year income is not middle class. I would have liked to have seen taxes go up on anyone making above $150,000 a year. Instead what we got was a 2% tax hike on everybody with the elimination of the payroll tax holiday. I'm sure loopholes have been put in place to allow those making above $400,000 a year to get out of it without paying a dime more. Thus screwing the rest of us, which was what the Fiscal cliff charade was truly all about. The middle class pays. The Wealthy do not pay. Congress and the Senate lies to the middle class. The United States sinks deeper into debt with China. China provides large sums of money to the Wealthy, Congress and the Senate.
I have kind of worked out a scenario.
Imagine that you represent the middle class. You girl friend/ boy friend is the American Industrial Complex. Congress and the Senate are the superintendant and the apartment manager of your building.
Your girl friend leaves you, telling you she has found somebody else, China. The ex-girl friend and her new boy friend bribe the super not to change the locks on your door (elimination of taxes and tariffs on foreign goods). He splits the money with the apartment manager. Every day when you come home you find not a speck of food in your apartment. You complain to the super and the manager. They blame each other, and nothing gets done. You get so used to this you stop by the grocery store to buy food every day you leave work. Every day when you come home, the same thing, not a speck of food to be found.
This is where the middle class in the United States finds itself at present. Everyone knows the problem is China, India and South Korea. Everyone should know by now that the super wealth have run off with all the money, leaving little to nothing for anybody else. It's obvious the super wealth do not believe in sharing. Our useless Congress and Senate are going to make sure they don't have to.
