Well the multi-million dollar propagandists have achieved in assuring that every multi-billionaire can afford a new Mercedes Benz in the coming year.  So what is next on their agenda?  They are now expounding like evangelist preachers that the hands of the rich are being tied by that nasty old minimum wage.

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.  A typical family of four with both adults working 40 hours per week at minimum wage is $30,160 in a year.  After state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and health care expenses are figured into the equation, the average family of four with both parents working is living at or below the poverty level.  This being said it should seem absolutely reasonable to all concerned that they should settle for less.

Arkansas’ Ex-Governor Mike Huckabee, commenting on Fox News, addressed the issue of the long term unemployed.  He put forth the same rhetoric designed at demonizing the 99ers that has become a mainstay of the mainstream propagandists.  They always say the word 99er before stating that the existence of unemployment deters the unemployed from looking for work, confusing the issue in indicating that the 99ers will not find work because they are receiving unemployment.  This is a propagandist con man trick.  Every time one of these scum bags tries to use it we must immediately counter with the undeniable fact that 99ers are receiving no unemployment.

The midnight Congress overwhelmingly passed the Bush era tax cuts extensions for the top 2%.  The so called conservative Republicans are calling the passage a victory for the American people.  But what does the passage of the bill really equate to?  Well this is what happened.  Our so called representatives were given a choice.  Let the Bush era tax cuts sunset, which was a part of the original bill, or borrow billions of dollars to continue paying taxes for the rich.  They chose the latter.

So now the taxes of the top 2% will be paid by our grandchildren.  By the time the smallest among them reaches maturity they will be $500,000 in debt.  The children of the rich are assured a life of prosperity and being served by the children of the poor. The rich have been careful to throw enough scraps to the middle class to keep them complacent for a couple more years while they whittle away at its lower tiers.

Demopublicans and Republicrats became as one to pass the tax cuts extensions for the top 2% at the eleventh hour.  They had played the game as long as they possibly could, though they have saved enough time to push through the legislation that is truly important to their commie arses, and that is, “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”  They should all make it home in time to open their elaborate Christmas presents from the filthy rich.

Of course the 99ers are told once again, “Eat snow.”  The fact is the Demorats could have passed tax cut legislation excluding the top 2% back when they had their super-majority. Continue reading “99er Unemployed, the Top 2% get theirs, 99ers Left to Rot in a Hole in the Ground”

Could a Tier 5 realistically be passed at this late date?  The answer is yes.  The House at present has the Bush tax cuts extension legislation at a standstill.  There is talk among the Democrats of making alterations to the legislation and sending it back to the Senate.  The changes they are considering are to the estate tax.  They want to lower the rate exempt and increase the rate on that which is not exempt.

But what if on top of that change they also add a Tier 5 unemployment extension for six months.  When the legislation went back to the Senate it would have to be voted on and those votes would be recorded.  There is no doubt that a proposed Tier 5 extension being added would be all over the mainstream news.  And every voting 99er would be watching.  If the Senate dared vote the legislation down, the 99ers would make sure that those responsible would not be reelected to office in 2012.

Millions of Americans are busy completing their Christmas shopping.  We 99ers are not among them.  This will be the first year that I will not be able to afford to buy a single present for my children and grandchildren.  Am I disheartened?  No I am not, I’m mad as hell.

There is $8 billion in pork barrel spending contained in the budget legislation which I assure you will be passed by the lame duck congress.  Some of the items that are more important than American citizens starving to death in the cold are studying peanuts in Georgia, studying arthropod damage in Nevada, an $8 million Institute for the U.S. Senate in the name of Edward M. Kennedy, and roundabouts in Mississippi.

Stuart Varney of Fox Business News expounded his British tenacity to new heights yesterday when he stated that the extension of the Bush era tax cuts are “A done deal” and “I told you the Democrats would not commit political suicide in trying to stop them.”

Who the hell does this Tory think he is?  The fact is at the time Varney was making these statements the tax cuts legislation had not even made it through the Senate, let alone the House.  This multi-million dollar propagandist thinks he can manipulate our Congress by pretending to be a news man and reporting hypotheticals as facts.

Upscale homes in Cape Cod, Massachusetts are being targeted by arsonist(s) who it is speculated may be waging an anarchist type war against the rich.  There is also the possibility that the arson is being perpetrated for other reasons and the signatures left by the arsonist(s) are designed to throw authorities off their trail.  The arsonist(s) reportedly spray painted “F*@% the Rich” on the side of one of the houses that was attacked.

Some are speculating that if this is a form of class warfare it is being fueled by comments being made in Washington DC by lawmakers like Bernie Sanders who frequently mentions class warfare. Continue reading “99ers Unemployed Class Warfare?”

Alexandra Jarrin, a 53 year old 99er from Vermont has started a letter writing campaign directed at Senator Bernie Sanders of her state.  Apparently she wants 99ers to send letters to her depicting their deplorable plight, after which she prints them and delivers them to Bernie Sanders’ office.

Wow, what an idea.  Why couldn’t I have thought of that?  I mean, all we really have to do is print all those letters that we have been sending to their emails and bam, they are going to say, “This is real.  We have to help them.  They took the time to actually print the letters and deliver them to our office.”

Apparently there is a new jobs plan out there which would extend unemployment benefits through a low interest loan.  This is one of the more logical and constitutional remedies I have heard.  The only problem is if the loan was distributed in weekly checks I doubt it would help the average 99er become employed.

In third world countries banks are giving micro loans to entrepreneurs to start small businesses.  And the program is working.  Of the course the people of third world countries do not have the barrier of a credit score to make them ineligible for any kind of loan.

Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent Senator from Vermont, staged a filibuster in the House of Representatives yesterday.  Actually it was not a real filibuster but a show put on for the media.  I took the time to listen to some of Mr. Sanders’ rantings.  I heard a lot about the inequality represented by extending the tax cuts for the top 2% of earners in America.  He also read letters from back home from working poor people who were slowly seeing their worlds collapse.  What I did not hear him mention was the deplorable state the 99ers find themselves in.

Still, advocating for the poor against the rich would seem to be an admirable pursuit.  That is until I looked into whom Mr. Sanders is a little closer.  Continue reading “Tier 5 Unemployed Say No to Socialism”

Well the million dollar Fox News propagandists were front and center in jumping to the defense of their number one advocate, Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro.  This little scenario should go a long way in proving the reality of the false left-right paradigm.  When the rubber meets the road and the international corporate mafia’s money is on the line, the two party system ceases to exist.

The Republicrats, on the other hand, who swore they were going to stop the pork barrel spending, are now pushing for $144 billion in earmarks.  Let’s see, that is four, almost five tiers of unemployment extensions, but hey, who’s counting?

The 99ers have disappeared from the radar screen again.  It is indeed funny how we can exist one moment and not the next.  I think our mention in the mainstream news should be considered a proper gage as to how under control they believe they have us.  When we start beating the war drums we appear on every station.  The problem is once they’ve mentioned us we shut up, sit back, and start waiting for results.  I’m afraid that’s not how it works.

All 99ers need to realize that we are under a constant pressure that is pushing us down.  When we push ourselves up the smallest fraction, we are then relaxing and allowing ourselves to be pushed down even further.  Hell, I’ve been hearing talk of relieving us of our right to vote.  If this were to happen, we would truly be disenfranchised and dispossessed.

Yesterday morning it seemed the 99ers had been swept under the rug.  The propagandists on Fox Business looked like a group of seven year olds on Christmas morning.  One reporter expounded that she had woke up in the middle of the night, laughing hysterically, with satisfaction for the victory of the top 2% over the rest of America.

Meanwhile, 99ers and opponents of the top 2% tax cuts extensions were inundating the computers and phones of their so called representatives asserting their opposition.  Continue reading “99ers Unemployed Still in the Fight”

CNN and Fox News are both reporting on the issue of the 99ers and the fact that we are being excluded in the unemployment extension legislation.

I just called my so called representatives and literally screamed at them.  I have to believe many of you are doing the same as it took forever to get through to the Capital switchboard.  Double your efforts as time grows short.

It was revealed yesterday that President Barack Obama, hollowed be his name, actually told a lie. No, he didn’t chop down a cherry tree, but he did agree to extend tax cuts to the top 2%. The lie is being sold as a compromise for unemployment extensions for those at risk of losing their benefits. Well 99ers, looks like we are screwed.

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, stated that 40% of the unemployed have been so for more than six months. He further stated that it could be five years or more before we can expect to see unemployment reduced to 5 or 6%. Sounds pretty grim but I believe it is worse.

Yesterday morning I finally heard a real story about a real 99er on the mainstream news.  The lady’s name is Rhonda Taylor from Rhode Island.  She stated that she has been without income for eight months now.  I believe she has three kids; one of which suffers from disabilities.  Evidently the disability is not bad enough to receive any help.  She said she had to cash in her 401K, empty her bank account, and sell everything she owned.  She went on to say that she is facing eviction.  When asked what she would do about her children if evicted, she tearfully stated that she would have to turn them over to foster care.

This lady was clearly suffering the deepest apathy and it enraged me to my soul.  The propagandist put forth the notion that unemployment benefits give the unemployed an incentive not to look for work.  Continue reading “99er Unemployed Fighting Words”

Flash:  Two versions for extensions of the Bush tax cuts were voted down yesterday.  The first extended the tax cuts only for those making $250,000 and under.  The second extended the cuts for all those making a million dollars or less.  Apparently the House Republicans and enough House Democrats to make the difference have decided that those making over a million dollars per year cannot feel secure in their future unless the tax cuts are extended to the top 2%.

Is there anybody out there among the middle class and working poor that believes that a million dollars in personal income per year is not enough?  Also, is there anybody out there among the middle class and working poor who believes that a majority of the American citizens do not want a single piece of legislation to pass through the Senate until the top 2% are guaranteed their extra $100,000 per year?  Note: Half of what the top 2% receive in tax cuts per year, $50,000, would put the average family of four above the poverty level.

The White House is proposing a one year extension of unemployment benefits.  Apparently a raise of two tenths of a percent in the unemployment rate has made the issue extremely important once again.  Of course if those who have run out of unemployment were reflected in that figure, the number would be closer to 15%.  In fact, if all the unemployed who are desperately looking for a job were counted the number would be 20% or more.

This scenario just goes to emphasize the fact that the government uses the manipulation of the true numbers to justify their inaction.  The details of the proposed one year extension are sketchy so it is hard to tell how we 99ers might be affected.  Continue reading “The Tier 5 Unemployment Extension May Yet be a Possibility”
