Bribing POTUS Bush … Jeb wants in

A few years back, after Bush 41 had left office, and after he had broken his word to Saddam Hussein (when Bush promised no American interference with the Iraq border action over Kuwait stealing Iraqi petroleum through slant drilling) and, at the behest of the Saudis leadership who supported the oil theft, initiated Desert Storm … the effect of which was to destabilize the region and empower the Bin Laden  family.

As stated, after Bush 41 had left office, the Saudis,  through a Canadian owned firm, the Saudis paid Bush millions as a reward for his use of American military and American lives to further their control of OPEC and the weakening of Hussein.

As we know, Bush 43  was NOT surprised by 9/11.  The CIA report Bush 43 reviewed  had stated the attack would happen – specifics were unknown, but the attacks were known and expected.  Thus, the attacks occurred and invoked no surprise or other reaction from Bush – as the world saw, because he was being filmed when he received the news.

Bush then declare Bin Laden “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bin Laden had stated he wanted Hussein Dead – Congress grants Bush power to act, and Bush 43 immediately declares Bin Laden “irrelevant to the war on terror” and turns his attention away from the forces who inflicted over 3,000 9/11 deaths, and destroyed the WTC; he immediately lies to the public and Congress, blames Hussein – even though we have film of Bin Laden boasting of the attack and it being more damaging than he expected; Bush 43 then lies, and his vice president lies, about Iraq WMD’s; Bush then proceeds to achieve the stated al Qaeda goal of killing Hussein.

Are there any reports of the bribes Bush 43 received?  Has anyone done a comprehensive examination of the Bush finances?

Of course NOT!

Those who should and would investigate are in the process of undermining the American economy and achieving another Bin Laden / al Qaeda goal … a goal; they almost achieved with the Great Recession of 2007/8.

Now we have Jeb Bush and his history of milking the public funds:

1.   Bush made early investment a sports team -- the Jaguars -- the city of Jacksonville then spent $121 million renovating stadium in which the newly formed football team would play.  Naturally Bush’s people smiled on the city and Bush pocketed his money.

2. Under the Bush 41 administration, Jeb was retained to help sell pumps built by a firm called Moving Water Industries; they expanded in  Nigeria, using $74 million loan which guaranteed by FEDERAL Export-Import Bank resources.  Helps when dad is POTUS.

3.  Tax breaks on yachts, rental properties, lavish business lunches and other living expense for the well connected dipping into  Federal Pockets are accompanied by those which allow the very rich to “save money for retirement” and do so by making it exempt from taxation; thus allowing them to invest tax free while the middle class covers the costs and provides reimbursement when the fly-by-night schemes blow-up, whenever the “Bubble Bursts” and the Ponzi Scheme is exposed.

In 1986, because he was able to deduct everything he earned that year, Bush reported no taxable income.  Phrased another way, The Federal and State taxpayers underwrote Bush’s living expenses – in the same when they underwrite the living expenses of ALL the wealthy.

The tax laws were written by the wealthy to serve the wealthy (and anyone who wants to structure their lives around the ‘letter of the law’).  A grand lifestyle is the the gift to the dishonest.

Not a problem – go to college, study accounting, and you will be taught – as Donald Trump was – how to get the most bang for your butt and, as one of my professors stated “How to keep your ill-gotten gains out of the hands of the tax collector.”

The Bush family simply takes it a step further.

Republicans HATE Families

It’s been decades since the Tax Code Marriage Penalty was identified, yet the Republicans have done nothing to alleviate it – in fact they have made it worse.

The fewest children, the smallest families, are found among the top 1% of earners – the very people given the greatest tax breaks.

These people do not support local business – the mom & pop stores and supermarkets – they spend their money on luxury items that are generally manufactured overseas and are sold by high end retailers.

It is estimated that it costs $250,000 to raise a child –- or about $12,500 a year.  That $12,500 is the amount which should be available as income tax deduction, but it isn’t.  Instead the full burden of supporting the government is shifted to those who have this child based liability.  NOTE that the same people who impose this burden on those who want children, also seek to impose that burden upon those who find themselves with an unwanted and undesired pregnancy -- because the condom broke, diaphragm  shifted, vasectomy didn’t take or pill failed … events that happen at least 10% of the time.

In addition, they seek to deny the medical insurance which would cover the cost of the pregnancy.

All of these things combine to be an attack on the poor and on families.  The “Defense of Marriage Act“ was intended to attack the one group in society that actually still values marriage.

As pointed out in "SAINT PAUL'S JOKE: 'The Punch Line's A Killer'", Christian scripture mandates marriage for both gays and straights.  Hebrew scripture condemns, for medical reasons related to STD transfer, bi-sexual males and the women who facilitate that behavior.  But Christians are forbidden to impose or adopt any part of the Law – unless they adopt all 613 Laws.  When was the last time you came across a Kosher Evangelical?

Republicans stand for THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE and promote fiscal irresponsibility – a fact established by the $605 BILLION dollar military budget which, by their own assertions with regards to immigrants and the Mexican border, cannot even achieve the first obligation of a Military … to secure the national domestic borders.

Even on immigration, the Republicans reveal they are anti-family.  They have devoted their efforts on immigration, not to the prosecution of REAL Criminals who create harm to citizens and their property … NO they reward the criminals by insisting resources be devoted to breaking up the families of American Citizens, and deporting one, or both, parents.  Why, not because the parents did anything wrong – but rather because of a backlog in the INS which has delayed issuance of authorized documents.

The INS is, because Republicans have refused to properly fund it, a decade behind in the issuance of the annual allotment of Green Cards and other documents.

The Republicans HATE FAMILIES, so the tax them beyond their means, seek to disrupt them, seek to force upon the costs due to product failures, and want to stop those who seek marriage from being married.
