Illiquid Assets

“Our Illiquid Assets are freezing credit,” they say. “Nobody can get a loan, money just won’t move. We need more stimulus!”

When the corporate lizards say they have illiquid assets, that are freezing credit, what they really mean is they spent the money on themselves and it’s game over unless the public buys their debt with taxpayer money. They call that free money, “stimulus”.

They made a fortune “investing” but will lose it unless the public buys their “bad assets”. That’s how it works, by failing. It works for the investors but it fails for the taxpayers, every bailout.

The bad assets come in both illiquid and junk, but in the end it’s all the same. It’s a taxpayer extraction scam legislated as legal.

The taxpayer retroactively pays for the overcompensated corporate establishment lifestyle. The “system” then declares itself a success while it continues to fail in a “cycle” of over-leveraged credit and politically approved bailouts.

The corporate lizards say some funny things. Illiquid Asset is my personal favorite. The language describes an asset nobody wants.

The lizards call it an asset because it sounds like a better deal than a tax extraction scam, but it’s not. It’s the same thing.

Illiquid Assets are the byproduct of the extraction scam. The taxpayers are buying corporate lizard prosperity, called illiquid assets, or some similar linguistical derivitave intended to obfuscate the truth from the taxpaying public about what it is that they are actually buying.

Remote Voting

It’s not often the speaker comments on the future of democracy and technology. It’s a topic that rarely gets discussed.

Nancy knows there’s nothing in the constitution that prohibits remote voting. If there was she would have cited that, rather than her concerns about proxy voting.

You don’t need a committee to study the constitution to know remote voting is the future of democracy for the congress and the public.

Depriving the public of the technology to vote adequately is more likely to be unconstitutional than remote voting is. If the constitution was interpreted correctly Nancy would have to rewrite the house rules for compliance.

Where in the constitution does it allow for political parties?

If the public had a reasonable consensus system that worked as well as online banking, for instance, that would be a good start. There would be no voting lines and no horserace reporting.

Imagine if all the candidates had a constantly updated vote tally. The candidate with the most supporters on election day wins. Simple.

There is a lot of different ways to customize and simplify our voting experience. But we don’t.

“We haven’t got to it yet”, Nancy says as her webcam ironically malfunctions for a low quality moment.

An adequate electoral system that is accessible and verifiable, locally and nationally, could be achieved in short order. It’s possible. That’s what the public deserves. That’s what the government should prioritize.

The irony continues with Nancy mocking Zoom as a Chinese firm, even though Zoom is headquartered in San Diego. As if the United States can’t build our own communication system. We can’t trust China to provide our equipment so what are we supposed to do? She’s all out of ideas.

“This isn’t as easy as you might think” She says.

Wrong. It would be simple. It would be a citizenship network where everything is democratic and verifiable with no anonymous activity of any kind. The servers would be locally operated in each district to filter and tax commercial access to the community and validate poll results.

The citizens network would be able to facilitate voting but could also dispense funds in case of an emergency, like if we had a mass layoff due to a pandemic. The network could provide whatever functionality the public needs and can afford. And last I heard, money was no object.

And then Nancy asks, a little sarcastically, why the republicans would not want to fight waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s a rhetorical question that ignores the truth and deprives us of the answer, yet we all know what the answer is. It’s the money. What she calls waste they call profit.

“If it looks political to insist upon the truth, so be it.” – Nancy Pelosi

If Obama Cared

If Obama Cared was written in response to the Obamacare sellout to insurance companies. The Democrats controlled all three branches of government and that’s what they came up with, a private profit insurance “exchange” program, instead of universal guarantees and price controls. It was a monumental betrayal of what was possible in 2009.

Imagine now, if Joe Biden becomes president and the Democrats control congress in 2021. The same thing would happen. There would be no push for a “public option” to make basic health services free.

Notice how Dr Gupta, at 15:00, says, “It’s not fair to say free” and gets corrected by Michael Moore. It’s such a good point.

When you need medical care – cost should not be a concern. A public option could make health services free for everybody. Taxpayers save money by reducing costs, and simply by ending the extraction of profits by those investing in health insurance companies.

It’s the summer of 2012.

The Supreme Court has just ruled Obamacare is constitutional.

After listening to many of the opinions by the bewildered professional media punditry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Affordable Healthcare Act known as Obama-care, the most obvious conclusion is the so-called liberal media has moved further to the right than the Supreme Court.

Professional pundits, blinded by the partisan paradigm, can’t seem to understand that a Democratic President is fulfilling an old Republican agenda in order to prevent policies that would actually be more affordable and more appropriate for the public, like Single Payer Healthcare, which is long overdue.

Justice Roberts and President Obama have united to provide the biggest injection of socialistic subsidy ever imagined into private for-profit insurance that will guarantee their profitable for-profit status forevermore.

Instead of referencing the law, the confused media professionals all parse the language of government officials in an attempt to determine ‘the facts’. If Obama calls non-compliance fees a penalty and the Chief Justice calls it a tax, what is it? They all debate opposing viewpoints and reach no conclusions, as usual.

Yet, they all agree that Justice Roberts has betrayed his partisan political allegiances to serve Obama’s liberal ideals. Roberts changed his mind, they say, believing the judge is now either (1) actually concerned with interpreting the law correctly, or (2) a bipartisan hero.

The pundits are either naive or corporate shills, because;

(1) In light of his previous political rulings, the idea that Justice Roberts is concerned with the legitimate interpretation of the Constitution is not credible, especially because of his opinion on the constitutionality of this law is itself absurd. His legal opinions that the government can tax citizens because they don’t buy something, and that the Medicaid Expansion provision in the law is somehow coercive and not a legitimate federal function under the commerce clause, are both easily refuted as constitutional misinterpretations and blatantly political.

(2) Proclaiming Justice Roberts to be compromising with liberals because he approved a healthcare system envisioned by the Heritage Foundation, former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, and signed into law by former Republican Governor Mitt Romney, is now a liberal idea because President Obama has endorsed it, is less credible than Justice Robert’s legal interpretations.

If you’re looking for change you can believe in, try the definition of Liberal, because aside from his continuity of fulfilling the Republican Party agenda, President Obama shutdown the Single Payer Healthcare advocates faster than the police could arrest them for expressing their liberal opinions.

The new health plan as championed by the president is basically the same old plan we’ve had that already cost the public twice as much as other nations yet still deprives millions of the public from receiving any affordable healthcare services at all.

So the professional pundits should take note, the President and the Chief Justice are on the same side. They are on the side of the insurance companies and attorneys that are firmly planted between the doctors and their patients. The cost that will be incurred for the legal assistance required to navigate the labyrinth of technical jargon, legal ambiguity, and commercial nuance of the Affordable Care Act could easily pay for universal healthcare.

President Obama’s resistance to the term ‘tax’, which the court ultimately used to uphold the legality of this unconstitutional turd of a law, was the key to depriving the public of a public healthcare system, giving the public’s money instead to the insurance company middlemen and their shareholders who profit from depriving the public of healthcare and their attorneys who will profit from interpreting the legalese.

President Obama, speaking of the insurance industry, rightfully claimed that they have imposed spending caps to deny healthcare, denied coverage for preexisting conditions, dropped patient coverage, overpaid themselves for administrative costs and bonuses, and jacked up premiums to be more profitable resulting in the deprivation of healthcare for the insured to the point that the insurance companies must now pay rebates to patients for their unethical behavior. His list of grievances didn’t even mention the millions of people without any access to affordable healthcare, or those bankrupted for needing healthcare services.

The President’s solution to this list of unethical atrocities by the massively profitable insurance system is to give more money to the industry in the form of a captive consumer base afforded by more public debt. Rather than fixing the problem, the plan rewards the insurance companies with more public money in hopes that the continued denial of some of those in need of help will be remedied.

The President could have advocated allocating money to train doctors and build hospitals, adhering to the sound economic principals of supply and demand to lower cost and increase access to healthcare. He could have insisted on legislation that would allow for collective bargaining on behalf of the public for medicine, alleviating pain while reducing public debt.

If Obama cared, he could have allocated hundreds of billions of dollars in stimulus funds to create a healthcare infrastructure capable of accommodating patient demand but instead he gave tax breaks to ‘job creators’ who didn’t create any jobs.

Amongst all the confusing legal technicalities and varying opinions about Obama-care, a few things are for sure. If you are against healthcare for all, you already have healthcare. If you are against a non-profit healthcare system, you haven’t had to pay any outrageously expensive medical bills that ruined you financially.

And now, instead of paying emergency room claims for those who needed the care and couldn’t afford it, the government will be paying insurance companies to cover millions of people just in case they might need it, or some other nuanced distinction that will typically cost the taxpayers more.

Healthcare insurance is an unnecessary obstacle between healthcare services and consumers. It is too expensive for some because it’s too profitable for others.

The healthcare insurance industry makes more money for shareholders by keeping health services scarce and unaffordable, for the public, yet available and affordable for corporations and shareholders.

The practical effect of the ACA, including the State’s optional participation in the Medicaid Expansion provision, as legislated from the bench, will be the consolidation of insurance monopolies. The biggest customer of the insurance ‘exchanges’ will be the government paying for those in poverty and for the employees who were dropped by their employers because it’s cheaper for them to pay the penalty.

Passing a “federal tax” on uninsured citizens of all states and making state participation in the program optional is absurd, if not outright illegal. Then you add the fact that the insurance is paid for by the public, costing trillions of dollars and what you have is another too-big-to-fail ineffective and bureaucratic institution with a money funnel straight from the public treasury to the bank accounts of the insurance industry shareholders.

The list of problems with this law is too long to consider. The biggest problem with it is that depriving the public of a non-profit health system ensures that the private insurance companies will continue to donate to political campaigns with money legislated to them through this law. This type of quid pro quo is a conflict of interest and another example of why money must be removed from politics.

One law after the next will continue to be passed creating public debt with ulterior motives to fund political campaigns for private profits. That is why we’re getting Obamacare and not getting the more affordable, more sensible and humane, non-profit universal single payer healthcare for all plan, run by our government.

Bernie Concedes

The entire establishment was in lock step against Bernie’s campaign. He did a great job of selling some good ideas. He also had record numbers of supporters, and no doubt would have defeated Trump in the general election, but at the end of the day there was just no path to victory.

Bernie should start a new party. A party dedicated to updating the democratic process. It’s imperative to redefine the distinctions between parties if voters are to be represented properly.

If Joe Biden wins he is just going to row the boat gently down the stream and act like everything’s fine. Just like the previous Democratic presidents did. He’ll be all about looking forward while wondering how to get some money to the public without taxing those who have it, as democrats do.

The Coronavirus Bailout

As our society helplessly descends into an escalating pandemic nightmare, Trump’s reality TV show has suddenly become a real life disaster movie.

Trump is no longer the main villain in this story. The plot has twisted and the villain is now a germ, contagious and deadly, and we have no vaccine.

The Coronavirus might be a reaction by Mother Nature, attempting to defend the planet from climate change. Or, it might be just some random biological mishap due to unsanitary “wet market” conditions.

It could be a diabolical plot by an international cabal of criminals attempting to overthrow the local economies of nation states with germ warfare, in order to further corporatize profits for investors.

It could be. Ya never know. Or do we? We do know this virus will likely contaminate the future with paranoia, and a fear of getting sick and maybe dying from an airborne contagion, for some time to come.

Welcome to the new normal. Six feet away with a mask, please, you might be infected. It sounds bad but it could get much worse, for some, if history is any guide, and it is.

The worst part of the 911 terrorist attacks were our reaction to them. We prioritized an endless war economy for investor profit instead of prosecuting terrorist criminals in court. It was a horrible choice for humanity, by our government.

Our priority to attack “terrorists” then is the reason we are vulnerable to an attack by a virus now. Our economic priorities promote conflict, not health. Our priorities were then, as they are now, totally backwards.

Injecting taxpayer money into the “markets” for “disaster relief” motivates moral hazard. When disasters become profitable for investors, investors will be motivated to cause disasters, if they can, to profit from bailouts.

The firehoses of taxpayer money being shot at investors now could be used to build hospitals and train doctors and staff. Investors could invest in a healthcare system for profit, but no, it’s more profitable to invest in insurance companies who profit more by providing less.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, they say, as they profit from the broken system.

It’s reported that we are now being wiped out by an enemy we didn’t prepare for. This crisis took us by surprise, they say, like 911 did, and Pearl Harbor.

Being unprepared for a deadly virus is political negligence at best. At worst it could be anything. It could be nefarious malfeasance.

After three years of allegations against the president for colluding with our international and ideological adversaries, it seems prudent to err on the side of caution and consider contingencies for the worst case scenarios.

This virus could be an act of war by people, against people. We should begin investigations into the origins of this virus immediately and hold public hearings on our findings, asap.

The establishment is reacting to this crisis the same way they reacted to the 2008 financial crisis, by bailing out already profitable investors with money extracted from the perpetually indebted taxpaying public.

“This is not a financial crisis”, the self-proclaimed war president says, “This is a health crisis”. We need trillions of dollars from the taxpayers, again, to bailout investors.

Don’t worry if you lost your job, we’ll send you a check.

The public is 25 trillion or more in debt already, so the establishment will have to loan the taxpayers enough money for this emergency, with interest, of course, to combat the virus.

The establishment will then get bailed out with the money the public borrowed from them. They will inject the money into the markets, to calm investors and legislate slush funds to profit the swamp, like before.

The public might even borrow some money for themselves this time, they say, we’ll see. Actual results of “the relief package” may vary.

All reports from the front lines of this war are bleak.

Doctors and nurses are the soldiers in this war, and they are totally understaffed, under-equipped, and overwhelmed. The infections are spreading and the battlefield casualties are rising fast.

The Defense Production Act is being resisted.

Our fearless leader, the war president, says he is doing an amazing job, insisting that this crisis be managed by governors.

The people continue to plead for tests and vaccines. We need masks and ventilators. We need protective gear for medical workers. We need supplies everywhere for everybody, right now, to fight this war against the virus.

Military laboratories need to be working around the clock to find a vaccine but they are still without orders.

Trump’s government believes in free-market “capitalism”, as do the leaders from both political parties. It is a system that taxes the bottom to fund the top. They are dragging their ideological feet to protect and defend that system, their system, of “small” government, for the public.

Some corporations are stepping up, they say, in an attempt to prove they serve the public. They are working with desperate governors bidding against each other for scarce medical supplies. It’s a sad spectacle of free-market failure to adequately serve the public, during this emergency.

Most state governments have decreed a quarantine, shutting down businesses and telling people to stay home. They must now sacrifice their economies to minimize the exponentially increasing death from the virus. We must “flatten the curve”, they say “anyway we can”.

“Stay in your homes, and remember, we’re all in this together.”

Yet, the markets continue to hyperventilate money for Wall Street traders while the Main Street workers, the real taxpayers, go home and wait for public assistance. The result will be massive economic division.

Extreme Inequality is a military tactic intended to divide & conquer.

Intentional or not, the virus, and our reaction to it, is a battle between two economies, I will call it Wall Street versus Main Street.

Denial on Wall Street vs Devastation on Main Street

The local family businesses on Main Street who can’t afford to survive this shutdown will be replaced with shareholder franchises.

Main Street gets shutdown and withers away on welfare checks until Wall Street swoops in and replaces them with the money that they “made” from the taxpayer bailouts. Great plan!

Wall Street buys Main Street with taxpayer money.

The Coronavirus will be a death blow to Main Street, much like the digital revolution was and the rise of Amazon and Google. Wall Street and the electronic economy will continue to thrive as an untaxed lobby effort for themselves while Main Street dies.

Wall Street vs Main Street

The establishment is invested more in Wall Street than it is in Main Street. That’s the problem. The result is a government by corporate rule that rips off the taxpayers every chance they get.

Apparently, the Coronavirus will be no exception.

Bailing out investors in the same bill as Coronavirus relief is a cover story for the extraction scam. It’s business as usual on Wall Street, except now they get to work from the comforts of home.

Wall Street loses a few dollars on paper, temporarily.

Alternatively, mandating a Main Street shutdown could actually cause an economic catastrophe for workers and small businesses, who won’t recover, despite public assistance.

Destroying Main Street for Wall Street will allow global corporations to dictate public policy to desperate local governments who need money for their economies.

If the scam succeeds, and it already has, communities will be starved into compliance and extracted for investor profits, funneling local money to global pools of private capital.

The public needs that money to build a massive infrastructure for a better health industry. It should be funded as a priority to accommodate those who need it, now and into the future.

The ability of our government to handle this crisis, or not, will determine if their priorities have been correct, or not, and we already know they weren’t. So now we can see again that those who have been advocating smaller government, while extracting its wealth are, and have been, wrong.

The establishment continues to be wrong. They will borrow trillions of dollars more, or create it, in order to transact this crisis in a free-market, for-profit, manner while pretending taxes and socialism is what we should be afraid of, fear, and prevent.

And people believe them, apparently.

The government should temporarily but immediately nationalize every company necessary to combat this disaster as fast as possible. They should conscript all relevant talent and spend all the money necessary to provide disaster relief to everybody, and then send the invoice to Wall Street.

Market activities should be suspended for the duration of this crisis. Relief assistance should be given to healthcare workers, patients, hospitals, and states, and small business. It should not go to shareholders.

The markets should be recognized as the reason that governments were not prepared for this global pandemic in the first place. Markets deprive the public of money by corrupting elected officials to favor investors.

The predatory and extractive business model of Wall Street, and its influence over our government keeps the public broke and necessary political and economic reforms impossible.

Corporate government has no profit incentive to prepare for an emergency. That’s why we were not prepared. That’s why it’s important to have a government that serves the common good and not the money.

Now, we might have a depression and a deadly virus to to deal with at the same time, which would likely make both problems much worse for Main Street, but oddly enough, not for Wall Street.

Memo to The Street: We are not all in this together.

Despite a global pandemic, the taxpayer extraction scam will continue to profit Wall Street investors. It’s the golden goose that keeps on giving. The cycle of bailing out investor bubbles for fraudulent profits just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It must be protected at all costs, they believe.

The establishment will profit from $500 billion in “relief”, leveraged to $4.5 trillion, to secure their over-speculated investments. As a result, market indices are already rising faster than infection rates.

Comparatively, the $350 billion loan program for small business is stalled because, unlike the hi-tech Wall Street “system”, the underfunded Main Street “system” crashed. It can’t handle massive capital injections like the Wall Street system can. Surprise, surprise.

Our “system” was designed to prey on Main Street, not protect it. We are farming wealth from workers to profit investors. Our current economic division was caused by decades of reckless and irrational exuberance retroactively insured by the taxpayers, aka bailouts.

The Coronavirus was brought to you by globalism, under the banner of market capitalism, free trade, and corporate welfare. It is the corporate culture itself, and the religion of meritocracy and feudalistic royalty, that is to blame for this crisis.

Public vs Private

All of the industries of this system, that made the speed of this global pandemic possible, are to blame. And now they need more taxpayer money to survive, as usual. That’s how this “capitalist” system works.

For instance, despite facilitating this global pandemic, and causing climate change, the airlines industry now needs money to prevent their stocks from tanking. They need the taxpayers to insure their gains so they can afford to get back to vacation, which they will, just as soon as this quarantine is over.

And to condition corporate welfare bailouts on limiting stock buybacks and executive compensation is offensively benign. It’s like telling bank robbers the inspector will regulate how they spend the money that they keep stealing from the bank, aka the taxpayers.

Tell me how socializing investor losses helps combat a global pandemic and why it should be included in the coronavirus relief bill, if you can.

They call that pork, don’t they? The market rises on pork. Your capital gains come from taxpayer funded corporate welfare pork. aka socialism.

Everything is coming up socialism now. Because of the virus, everybody gets a bailout. The government can borrow an endless supply of money to pay interest on. What choice do they have?

The taxpayers can borrow as much money as they need to preserve capitalism, apparently, despite the debt services the uninvested taxpayers will have to pay to their investors, the lender class.

Just don’t raise their taxes, they say, and the public can borrow as much money as they want. There’s no debt ceiling and rates are so low.

Nobody can think of an alternative, apparently.

Bernie’s radical ideas of providing healthcare to everybody seem inescapably prudent at this point. We are quite likely to soon have a subculture of contagious dependents in constant need of assistance.

We need to train doctors and build hospitals for health’s sake, not for private profits but for public health. The time to transition to a health based economy has always been, right now.

It’s the lack of an adequate healthcare system that makes it necessary now for the military to provide emergency hospitals to defend the public from this invasion. That should be seen for what it is, a “system” failure.

Biden Wins the Nomination

The Democratic Party conceded defeat today by ‘electing’ Joe Biden as their nominee to take on President Trump in the November election. There’s a few more primaries to go, but, you know. It’s a funny process.

Our very democracy is at stake and the Democrats have chosen the ultimate party establishment insider, Joe Biden, to save it for us. right.

I have been a Joe Biden fan for a long time, but he’s no Bernie Sanders, and sorry, he’s no Donald Trump.

Even if Joe wins, he won’t be able to swing the political pendulum back to the sane side if he tried. We’re way beyond that now.

If the establishment wasn’t so busy comparing Bernie to socialist dictators his popularity would be much higher. The corporate media is part of the establishment that Bernie is running against, so of course they’re biased against him.

And we’re supposed to believe that Biden flipped all the Bernie districts this election. They didn’t vote for Hillary four years ago, they voted for Bernie, but Joe’s their man now. Sorry, that’s not credible.

Bernie is just too radical now, they supposedly think. Sorry, not credible. This was blatant election fraud on a massive scale, of, by, and for, the Democratic Party.

Bernie won’t call it out, but I will. The establishment totally robbed him.

None of the professional pundits ever question the results, they just marvel at them. “Isn’t that amazing?” Unbelievable! they might say, with complete faith in the system.

Our electoral system is antiquated, and privatized by the very establishment that Bernie is running against. Why should we believe the unbelievable results of this election? We shouldn’t.

Like most government systems, we should demand that the electoral system be changed to provide the appropriate capability for a credible democracy.

We all wish Bernie the best, but the movement will go on long after this election. The movement is not about people, it’s about ideas, and when the idea is so obvious, to prevent it is obstruction.

Bernie has got to be disappointed. This is the most historical defeat. It needs to be duly noted for its historical importance. This is the day the establishment came together to check-mate Bernie Sanders and his movement, and to preserve themselves for yet another term.

So much for the revolution, for now.

The Establishment

Who is the establishment? Who are, “They”?

The establishment is not only the billionaires and their corporate executives who write the big checks, like Bernie will tell you. The establishment also includes everybody who profits from the stock market. There is an inherent bias towards the markets by those who profit from them.

Our social security system has been betrayed, for the public, by the private profit interests corrupting our government, using the dark money they derived from the scam. They have privatized the public welfare and common good, to themselves, in a system I refer to as, the scam.

The result of the scam is increasing inequality by public policy that favors private interest profits. The government must borrow and invest in the scam, because it is ideologically against raising taxes on those that profit the most, from the scam.

Those who don’t profit from the markets are not the establishment. They are the uninvested taxpayers and the working class. The millions of investors who also work for a living must have faith that their retirement accounts are safe, despite being invested in a system whose profits are unsustainable without hyperinflation, or hyper-growth.

The conflict-based economy is a pyramid scheme playing musical chairs. When the music stops will your money still be there?

The majority of the public are not government subsidized like investors are. Workers work for their money, by spending their time, working.

Because money is representation, the establishment is bipartisan. Even if they don’t understand it, partisans are united in their investment strategies against their political opposition. Together they dominate the workers and uninvested taxpayers. They debate allowances of freedom for them. A minimum wage, for instance.

You don’t have to be a billionaire politician to be a part of the establishment. You just have to have a profit bias for the money that trickles down to you through the stock market. If you have an incentive to ‘vote your pocketbook’ to maintain the status quo of corporate subsidy, you are the establishment.

It doesn’t matter if you are a minority or not. If you think the government can’t afford healthcare for everybody, you are the establishment.

Corporations and political parties are the establishment. Joe Biden is the establishment. As are all presidents. An establishment is essential.

The Democrats seem hell bent on nominating Joe. It’s the old ‘lesser of two evils’ strategy. They would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie. Bernie represents the public. Joe represents the party. Party loyalty is the priority of both parties which proves that working people do not have adequate representation.

The Republicans fall in line to vote against taxes, the Democrats are a massively diverse party, from the homeless vet struggling to find a voting booth, to billionaires buying politicians. That is a rigged system that profits the establishment at the taxpayer’s expense.

You can blame the Corona Virus, or oil prices, or chaos, for the market crash, but the crash was inevitable, as it always is. The establishment calls it a correction. Too much money was speculated into profits from thin air and it’s time to cash in the chips again, and see how much taxpayer money the government will have to pony up to keep the scam going, for the establishment.

Corporate Lizards

The Corporate Lizards represent the part of the establishment that profits from taxpayer subsidized corporate welfare, but won’t acknowledge it.

Lizard prosperity is extracted from the taxpayers and transferred to shareholders through a massive industry of money administration.

Every dime made or spent in the investment industry is ultimately paid for by increasing costs on workers, consumers, and taxpayers.

There are more brick & mortar investment stores now days than there are fast food restaurants. As if everybody’s money makes so much money that an entire industry of money making money can be massively prosperous for so many. Not likely

That industry fails at every bailout. Inequality is the inevitable byproduct of the scam. The system is a scam and it should be reversed.

Republicans are religiously loyal to the scam, and should be taxed accordingly.

If a Democrat refers to themselves as a moderate, what they mean is, they’re progressive, but they still support the scam and the market prosperity it provides to their community.

Corporate lizards are not defined by race or sexual identity. They are defined by their dividends. If you make more in capital gains than you pay in taxes, then there’s a pretty good chance that you might be a corporate lizard.

Lizards pay no tax at all because the government favors their “publicly traded employment status” with taxpayer subsidies offsetting their tax burden onto small business and the uninvested taxpayers.

If the government can print money, and it can, then why are capital gains so high?

The question answers itself;

Capital gains are high because the government can print money.

The government extracts money from the taxpayers and transfers it to investors. That’s how this system works. It’s corporate welfare from taxpayer extraction. Money is extracted from Main Street workers to subsidize Wall Street investors.

With a representative government there would be no taxes on income or sales. Government revenue should come from investments and growth not taxpayer extraction. We should fund more public programs and stop subsidizing corporate lizards.

Political Hero #1

Jerry Brown gets the first Public Voter Award for Political Hero.

Before Bernie Sanders started his political revolution there was Jerry Brown. Jerry also tried to “wake people up” but Bill Clinton, representing the establishment, took the day. The corporations kept deregulating and the rest is history. It’s good to know your history.

It was before the internet. Toll free 800 numbers were cutting edge. It was an era of proud apathy for most of the public. Jerry gave it a hell of a try but not as many people paid attention back then.

For those who are paying attention now, here’s Jerry Brown speaking truth to power in 1992, running against Clinton, Bush & Quayle.

Jerry was the king of the stump speech and he should have become our president. Imagine how different things would be now if that election would have went to Jerry Brown and towards a government working for everybody instead of special interests.

Bernie Sanders represents another chance for the public to do the right thing and vote for the good guy. I hope they don’t blow it.
