WEEKLY WARNING WORDS
February 16, 2005 - Week 74 - Flatheads
BY DR. BRUNO J. KEITH
Not the Flatheads who are my American native friends but the re-Publicans whose heads have very peculiar shapes. God only knows why those freaks continue to plane the way to a social & economic Armageddon for their workslaves & all those who can't take care of their families' basic needs. These Bush partisans continue to call crisis situations whenever they want to reduce to misery the workingmen's struggle for survival.
When the Gingrich Publicans talked simplification of their complicated taxation, they meant Congressman Armey's flat tax code, a cleverly-stupid system of loading on the ones they impoverish an ever-increasing sales tax. Bush II simplified the simple code word to the extreme: He forgave several times just taxes on the haves-everything but kept the burden on those who couldn't buy their daily bread.
Now he lies outrageously by saying that the tax relief for all capable of paying their taxes stimulated his economy. How could that be possible since these parasites buy only their 2nd, 3rd & 4th house as long as interest on mortgages is kept low for them. They may also purchase their 2nd yacht because undue pressures forced Congress to abolish the fair tax on their sales at home. Their huge tax relief goes abroad & ruins our most ruinous & precarious survivability. Just look at our monthly negative trade balance of way beyond 60 billions. That runs into 7 trillion a year & ever more in favor of China & a dozen other profiteers of our unpatriotic economic treacheries. Our noble swindlers rule US with strongarm methods since they control all (arms and weapons) branches of this reputed democracy. They outdo our worst enemy-terrorists & threaten our national survival.
It is true though that our wartime economy uses our trillions of budgeted blood money to favor without bidding their commercial - industrial - military complex.
As our handicapped soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan need to replace shoddy weaponry (like inoperative tanks, trucks, airplanes & helicopters) by potentially improved & more expensive problems, our rulers shower their favorite corporations with loose trillions. Thus they must employ a hundred thousand previously unemployed munitioneers who now think they have to spread wealth to fat eating & drinking oases all around. Of course, the ever-increasing hatred & insecurity requires a million more employees who, however, receive their wages at the lowest end of any payscale. It actually varies the Lincoln application of not ousting a warhorse president midstream of guts & blood.
Since this Nation's polls keep stating that our plutocratic dictators are most trusted as security shields, they provide ever more enemies & risks to our freedom & liberties. Now they scream their distress calls with the inclusion of our best government insurance, Social Security, which alone gives some calm, safety & support to the aged, the sick & their families. This F.D.R. heritage would also prevent the reoccurrence of a Hoover Depression
The Bush-produced "crisis of S.S." is too manic, too hypocritical, too untrue at least for some 2 decades. But the apocalyptic Beast intends to destroy the entire & good safety-net system by throwing a few more trillions to the broker-racketeers for daily gambling with our security. Mr. President, for once in your life you can try to be fair, just & democratic. Like so: The legislation which only charges those earning up to $90,000 with S.S. Taxes is undemocratic & legally a "bill of attainder" & therefore unconstitutional.
If the poor guys whose income is "only" $90,000 a year must pay the percentage of S.S. Taxes laid on the humblest worker, let the ones who earn their millions & billions contribute the same rate of contribution to our national safety net. They can afford it & can profit from it as only they know it & thus fix all problems the aging hippies, "baby boomers", will cause to this decent retirement system. Mr. Bush, Mr. Frist, Mr. Republican, be for once patriotic, gentlemanly, decent & persons of true religion. Stop the privateering. Stash some of your wealth in a commonwealth treasury. It is time to confess your sins of greed, avarice, selfishness & culpable ingathering of our national assets in your too-deep pockets. If all pay S.S. Taxes at the rate of the poorest workers, our USA can become the true Paradise on earth. If then the earners of over $100,000 a year declare themselves true religionists with a heart, they will earn even more from the enormous buying spree of every red-or-cold blooded American to repay a hundredfold what the super rich dedicate to the communality without expecting any additional nesteggs for their old age.
