"trickledown" economics

You might remember the GOP expression of economic stupidity: “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

True … when the tide rises it lifts the boats … from the bottom.  NOT! from pouring water on the decks and into the holds.

Economically, the GOP takes money from the poorest – those who spend the money locally, rather than for trips to foreign nations and on expensive imported toys.  The GOP cuts social Security – so the majority of the nation has less to spend.

True, the majority is not (yet) on Social Security, but sufficient baby-boomers are.  If you shortchange them, their children divert money to compensate, and that takes even more out of the economy ... that $100 or $200 tossed to mom or dad can cause a major loss in consumerism.  Consider… that new TV is $1500, but mom needed $200 … so there’s $1300 available for the $1500 TV … and mom will need another $200 next month … because the GOP cut her Social Security to give a millionaire a tax break … and the millionaire used that break to create jobs – by outsourcing to a Third World Nation.

Tax the companies that product products sold here which are made elsewhere, and the manufacturers will bring the production facilities here  … increasing employment and taxes.

But no!  the GOP pours water (money) into the ships holds and then wonders why the waterlogged ships capsize.

As pointed out by the Huiffington Post [Evidence Is In -- Again -- GOP 'Trickledown' Economics a Failure Posted: 07/24/2013 10:24 am]: “Now the GOP is at it again -- threatening to throw America into default if the Democrats don't agree to inflict more economic pain on their fellow citizens with even more draconian cuts, when the debt ceiling must be increased again this fall.”

Adding: “The lesson is simple. The evidence is in. If you believe the Republican notion that economic growth happens from the top down, I have some great swampland to sell you.”

Fortunately, our is a society that promotes

THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE 

So look for a new economic collapse whenever the GOP either stops progress or again comes to power.  We are a nation devoted to the commission of suicide – we are the Western al-Qaeda Jihadist who, rather than to show wisdom, kills themselves and any innocents they can.  The GOP approach to "trickledown" economics is their form of suicide bomb.

FORWARD – moving backward in history

A few days ago, I just commented on Real Non-Violence Doesn't Look Like This – Forward Thinking – Forward.com

The article, March 18, 2013, 8:52am Real Non-Violence Doesn't Look Like This By Jane Eisner

Carpet Bomb the Palestinians who promote throwing rocks & if the Arab OPEC nations complain and when they cease to exist, take over their oil fields -- the Forward editors are so repulsed by the idea that they shut me out.  Reality -- Ain't never going to happen.  But that is what the rock throwers recognize.  If it were accepted as a possibility, they would think twice about picking up even the smallest pebble.  Reality -- toss a rock and any response appears excessive.  So the bad publicity goes against the defender ... the one who wishes not to have their head cracked open.

Another reality:  The rock throwing will continue, as will the suicide bombers.  Why?  Because Israel and the Western Nations are powerless against them – and they know it.

We are powerless because they can spin any response to be an excessive response.

However, I you broadcast that your only planned response is, by definition, excessive, any response that is not the planned one becomes a sign of moderation and is beyond the scope of their media spin-doctors.

If the discussion involves a primary response that focuses on carpet bombing, then rubber bullets, or real bullets are moderate responses.  They can,. of course, be denounced – but the answer remains that they were a sign of restraint applied to those who would exterminate the aggressors … who are the ones with the rocks, and the ones sending in suicide bombers.

As a child I learned when dealing with bullies … smash them squarely in the nose with everything you have … and keep smashing until they bleed.  Funny thing about that, you need only do it once, and they leave you – and your friends – alone.

The key is, a bully cannot escalate things to the point where they do bodily harm for which they will be held accountable – the Palestinians cannot launch a military aggression against Israel … they cannot come off as an army, a recognized and defined aggressive structure, one with governmental backing, against which military defensive force is always justified (and it is justified to attack their allies).

But the FORWARD does not understand that – they want the people of Israel to go quietly into the Gas Chambers.  They want another Shoah … they would be happy with another Holocaust … it would allow them to sing their hands and moan …

Think about IRAN and their Atomic Bomb:  When they have one that works, they could use it as a first strike weapon.  But that would make them the aggressor and the world would turn on them.  But, if Israel were to move against them – as it has once before – they could use it … they would invoke the logic that the United States used to end the war with Japan … detonation of the bomb over a small, but violent, nation would save lives.  The bomb prevents a protracted war in which many innocent people would die…. granted, it would destroy Israel … a mile over Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv, a nuclear blast would be devastating and put an end to the government.

Israel would be destroyed.

But the Arabs know that Israel must make the first violent move – and rock throwing, or terrorist suicide bombers, do not constitute violent actions on the part of a nation.

But, again, THE FORWARSD editors are far to stupid to understand reality … they would rather the nation quietly walk into the “Showers”  …

Give it time, you’ll see I’m right. 

Anti-Allah … Anti-Mohammed

In Nigeria we find the typical anti-Allah, anti-Islam, organization.  It is called Boko Haram, and claims to represent Islam  … but represents militants who are immoral and deliberately violate the Koran.

Recently, they organized a suicidal Church bombing.  But attacks on Christians are only authorized AFTER Isa returns.  And then, only against evil Christians.

Suicide is forbidden… self-sacrifice is acceptable.  the difference is basic, in suicide you knowingly go into a situation with the intent to die.  You also, as in the Nigeria instance, or the attack on the World Trade Center, seek to murder innocents – which is also forbidden.

Evil leaders, priests, who are supposed to enforce the Koran’s teachings show their anti-Islam posture by making up rhetorical justifications for violations.

As we see in SAINT PAUL’S JOKE, Rome is due to be destroyed, within the next generation.  The Book of Revelation – some translations – identify the Church of Rome as the Church of Satan.  An Irish Monk, 1000 years ago, predicted all the Popes, including the next & last one – Petros – who will oversee Rome’s demise in a period of tribulation.  Will he finally be wrong?

If he is not, then it follows that the Islamic prophecy is to be fulfilled then – without the aid of these evil people, who will fall with the rest of the evil ones … and that their families and supporters with them.

Of course, those who do not believe in religion – like the Islamic Militants who has dem9onstrated their disdain for the Koran – shall ignore the warning.  It is, in the end, SAINT PAUL’S JOKE.  What is written vs what is practiced in the name of that which was never written, or intended.

The Church dies, the militants die, they all fail the final judgment.  Or, there is no judgment and they are doing what is allowed – because there is no deity to set the rules.  So, there is no reason for us.
