You Made a Million Bucks --Don't Want to Pay More Income Tax?

Your income --salary -Your bonus -investments -interest -real estate -buying/selling this and that will bring in more than $1 million this year? That puts You: in top 2% of Americans --among the wealthiest.

Ten years ago
Law written: tax on Income --highest amount, reduced to 35% --until this New Year's Eve, then tax on Personal Income goes back to: 39%. There aren't any higher brackets --on say $500 Million or a Billion bucks, or more --don't pay higher tax.

But now --You --don't want to pay more on Your Personal income? That puts You: among the greediest.

The amount of money held by the 2%: equals ALL the money held by the OTHER 98%.

Even though there are more Democrats in the US, the so-called Independents plus the Poorly-informed -easily-manipulated Tea Party people voted: more Republicans into House of Representatives, the people's House, in November election.

For decades Republicans: represent the rich --Take their orders -create carve-outs -write special laws -get 'special' breaks for big donors -for wealthiest Americans -for corporations.

If You Don't want to pay --more tax on Your Personal income, on wealth You accumulated this year: You're with those people --anti-Americans.

Anti-Americans?
The Republicans, Elephants, tip-toe down to the basement late night to put their marks on bills already approved --take from everyone's pot, quietly without transparency -accounting -vote --'special' deals for pals.

They thought it would be macho -pal-helpful: to start war --in two countries --at the same time --on money borrowed from other countries to pay for it. War engorges pals, corporations that supply stuff to Penta-goons, militants gung-ho to spend America's money to fight today, with last war's weapons, strategies, thinking --indifferent to Cost.

--Wiley Penta-goons: they put a base -weapon-maker -or major parts supplier in Every state to 'nail down' any shift in Congress -political wind, that would stop their spending --us into bankruptcy.

When the squatters --The Thug and The Dick got into the White House --not by vote, but via no-longer supreme court, they saw: Treasury surplus --hard-earned by Democrats, and set about Spending. After they blew through Our savings: they binged some more --borrowed, every week, like a 12-year old girl with Daddy's credit card; enriched pals --from every sector. --You said what?

The Elephants: take care of their "base" --those who always vote, senior adults. They gave them: big -Big -really big gift/'plan' for drugs, which also just happened to help more pals --unlocked Treasury vault. --Our money: flew out --big drug-makers, hospitals, insurance muggers scooped it all up.

Thanks to arrogant ignorant, self-serving 'conservatives' --like just-convicted Tom Delay: oopsy, blew Really big hole in nation's Treasury --increased our debt. To help --their pals, They made Sure prices of those drugs would stay high --higher than anywhere else in the world --no negotiating THAT for VA, seniors --NO more trips to Canada to get SAME drugs at half cost.

Now?
The Thug & The Dick left us --we the people, with un-paid bills --DEBT, massive. Ah, those "conservative" Elephants, can really blow things up, big.

How Much?
How much do we owe? So much money it hurts the brain to take in. To pay what we owe other countries --working poor --homeless --druggies --middle-class --middle-Americans --all those making Less than $45,000 a year, Every American: would have to send a check to Treasury for $44,000 --today.

Next year: that amount won't cover the Interest on our Debt.

You?
--got yours, too bad for everybody else? You're So Tight --Small: you Don't want to Help keep the country Functioning --you'd Rather have America go, head down, palm up --get the money from the Chinese --the Brits --the krauts? --Screw everybody's children who WILL have to pay off the debt?

Even though You Have More --You don't want to Pay more
--WE should Borrow to make up for YOU? Then: You should get less --for which the 98% have to pay.

Okay, then to Keep us daVine
Stay OFF trains --AMTRAK and commuter. Keep OFF streets -roads -freeways. Don't even think about flying, stay OUT of the airport --employees WE pay out of Our taxes do maintenance -track repair -pot hole filling -passenger screening, air traffic controlling.

DON'T whine --when you can't find people to hire who can form a proper sentence -follow orders -even understand you. The un-educated, with lousy/no proper teachers, will flood the marketplace.

California ranks: 49th in education, only students in Louisiana worse. America sinking compared to rest of the world in science -math -reading -technology -higher education.

Hold onto your books --buy more, libraries will be closed 7 days a week.

Beach? --DO NOT look for advance notice --posted signs --treatment --"all clear" --after sewage goes directly straight into ocean --on another treatment plant failure.

--Tainted fish -produce -poultry -nuts -dairy: don't look for blame --or any FDA Inspectors, they don't work for free.

Lab techs -anybody at CDC works IF paid-- so keep good supply --those all-purpose face-masks handy, for Unknown disease outbreaks.

When --burglars in --fire fighters out --house in flames: don't bother to call --after states copy the town in Colorado turns off street lights at 8 pm --fired all the police, don't have any but volunteer fire fighters. --Do Not complain --to any government person who still has a phone.

--Your driver gets a ticket --You won't mind the $10 --$15,000 fine, right? Somebody has to pay to keep the traffic lights on, the boat harbor maintained, the anarchy -riot noise in check.

--Water main --bursts in front of your estate, ya, so? You don't want all that water? Put a plumber on speed-dial.

You --don't give a fig, you aren't doing any walking among the 98% --so what do You care, no sidewalks or city trees --won't bother You.

--When Your House crashes around you during storm -flood -earthquake: make your own Escape Plan, pal --nobody will be doing Rescue the Millionaire programs.

--Heart attack --freeway pile-up? That pricey cell phone with all the gizmos: will do What for You? --Paramedics will show up cuz You're wealthy? Nope, laid-off off flipping burgers -or hospital patients, the ones who can afford medical insurance.

--Mountain road impeded by boulders --bridge, rusty bolts --overpass, crumbling concrete: no biggie --if You go over the side? Good, then don't look for Search & Rescue, they Ain't gonna be doin' it, any more.

--Rigged Stock Market, rigged for certain insiders, crimps Your portfolio --unregulated -uncaught, no money for Regulators --Won't bother You?

Wild West --all over the country, everyone looking out --for themselves, that's what You 'bought' into. Glenn Becky, sniveling incoherent addled mangled history mixed with sobbing like a girl-tears, will be so happy --and looking out for himself, don't call HIM.

When OUR Tax money goes --to pay interest on loans borrowed to give --to You: isn't that, uh, socialism?

Oh, You can add gates --even a moat, but when You want to go Out --passed the cars full of Sleeping people --protesters marching through neighborhood, where will You go --what will You do --that Matters?

So, Elephant man/woman: Your mouth-pieces, prostitutes in Congress, played Let's Get the Black guy --hardball --blackmail --and emerged 'victorious' on the rich getting richer --for now.

Pop the champagne, shoot an animal -do a little dance --celebrate your "victory" --at least until the Working Poor -the Middle-class -the 98% can't buy home, pay child's tuition, get a job --no savings -pension --dignity -groceries -freedom and come for Your hide.

When the Elephants gut the funding --to National Science Foundation --Public Television --Medi-Care --universities, every helpful institution; scientists -researchers -technologists -teachers -engineers laid un-employed; when earth is hot --very hot, crowded with unwanted babies --all competing for food: how will You get new/any fuel to run that limo --a/c, computer, Plasma --empire, Americans not educated enough to 'dig' You -America out of the Hole?

How will You stockpile: breathable air?
Hey, maybe The Dick will let you bunk in with him. --He cut very "special" deals with his pals --on nation's assets --at everyone's expense. So since he said "Deficits don't matter" and he has to live on this planet, he must have vast piles of air -water stored in 'unknown location' --well at least enough for himself. Give him a call, he probably won't mind --sharing.

When US joins Third World do not weep. You chose: to Go with the Ignorant --the Self-serving --the lip-service patriots --the Sarah Palin quitters who want "common" sense, not Reality -Rational -Accountable Sense --more money to go to You. YOU chose: SELF-interest, to hell with the country.

Everyone pulled against the middle --against Common Good, You followed.

But IF, tomorrow morning, Every Program -agency -department -employee of entire federal government de-funded --Dropped: the 'savings' would NOT equal the Amount: America owes. Got that?

We cannot: slash & burn our way to solvency, America owes far More than that. We have Debt --WE need Revenue -INcome, Not OUTgo, to those who Already Have Plenty.

While You're chowing down on that extinct bird's nest soup: has it occurred, yet, IF giving 2% of Americans More --over the past ten Years --has "worked" --Where are the Jobs?

--Congress increased YOUR wealth --thereby increased productivity -jobs -economy? uh, Nope. --IF the Few have even More money, now, Why is America in Deeper debt? That merely: increased the Wealth of the already wealthy, nothing Else. You/They put the money: own pocket, nobody else's.

Been There, Done That
Giving the rich MORE Didn't IMPROVE America -Americans, so we're going to do it Again??? This Time: we will get Different result???

You: part of TWO-tier America, the Haves, the Have NOTS.

When you die, Elephant: "Republican" in your obit --AMERICANS will know You weren't. --You one of ‘Those.’ Your 4% --what more did you eat --wear --DO was worth the grief You inflicted on Rest of Americans, for generations?

How AMERICA --Better --a DEBTOR nation --weak --beholden --the Chinese, the Indians, the Koreans creditors --dictating what we can/cannot afford, Thanks to You --HOW?

What difference --hanging on to 4% more Do for you --despised, reviled, respected by: None. Your "legacy": America a crumbling ghetto, coast to coast...?

While you still CAN: call your pals in Congress --tell them NOT to start any More wars. We ain't got the scratch to PAY the military to do any more fighting. When they--whoever--comes for America: we will have to let them roll over us, bullets ain't gonna be in the budget.

"The top 1 percent of families hold half of all non-home wealth. The richest 10 percent of families own about 85 percent of all outstanding stocks. They own about 85 percent of all financial securities, 90 percent of all business assets. These financial assets and business equity are even more concentrated than total wealth.

...The average African-American family has about 60 percent of the income as the average white family. But the disparity of wealth is a lot greater. The average African-American family has only 18 percent of the wealth of the average white family."
--The Wealth Divide
The Growing Gap in the United States
Between the Rich and the Rest

You: ain't daVine. You: the cause --force the 98% to go beg Other countries --to LOAN us $4 TRILLION bucks --pile it on to debt we already got on our books --so You -Your arrogant kind can --do what? Force 98% to work for even less --You: longer limo -bigger diamonds --more art -clothes -boats -servants -power?

All that dough
You're so Depraved/Desperate to Have: How Many --J-O-B-S You will create --hire How Many?

Where do You imagine --You can go
--underground garage... local theater, bakery... boat-slip... for Chinese, hot new 4-star... helicopter pad --public bathroom --won't be cursed -spat on, perceived and actual threat to health -well-being of Americans -of America? Or live with Your money: like Howard Hughes....

When Saudis
--Russians --French --Swiss give us "Nyet" --"Non" to buying our bonds/more loans, uh, say, What do we do? Just announce 'Bankruptcy' --sell off our Landmarks -bridges -town squares --go back to scratching out a living from the earth --live on Your estate lawn --on landfills --in the street? Should we ask Afghans --now, to teach us How to Build mud hut?

--When countries ask us --help with food -medicine -technology --protection from drug
monsters -terrorists -bullies that threaten Pakistan, Israel -struggling and small countries: we should give them your name, number --say we Already saved --You?

--uh, When terrorists -North Korea -Iran threaten the world --us?

Luck to you, explaining --when you get to The Gates. Hey, there is a Tiny chance: G-d will forgive, even when History --98% curse, despise, long after You're dead.

But --Wait: Heard An Obese Gentlewoman --Yet? How to keep us --US daVine?
--ONE caved, but It Ain't Over. He doesn't have a vote --spine --balls. I spent the morning calling, though the line was busy:
-Sen. Feinstein
-Sen. Boxer
-Rep. Becera
-Rep. Watson
--when I got through, asked to hold there were so many calls. Each staffer I asked:
'all our lines are ringing; nearly all calls: about the tax for the rich; we give the Tally to DC office end of each day.’ YOU can phone --the number --local & DC: SEE Sidebar --->
'Local Govt' ===>
--Don't call?
Don't Tell anybody: you Hope for daVine neighborhood -community -America, America as we know it will be gone with the wind --Debt -Division -deplorable Two-tiered life... back to Dark Ages.

... Buckle up, things are going to get bumpy... Griffith Park... could get cramped.

How about save the trees:

Hey, Millionaire: What NOW?

HOW Did We Get Here --Biggest Debtor in History?
When our money was backed --by gold, no weasel, no President, no Fed head, no Ben Bernanke could just print more money. Prices --stable --low-cost houses -cars -tuition --inflation minor. e.g., Rent: a single in 'hot' part of San Francisco: $125, circa 1973

--EVERY dollar grounded --until Tricky Dick Nixon, Republican, President, took the US OFF Gold Standard --our paper money no longer imprinted: "redeemable for gold -silver”
--Americans passive. 'Benefit'? --Legally allowed to OWN gold --then Price of every thing swung wildly --not matched by salaries. Gold in 1973? $35 per ounce. --Now: gold dealers will pay anyone about $20 --per GRAM; gold: over $1,400 per ounce on fear, rejection of paper assets.

Why did he do it? --Real reason? Maybe: long deep research would reveal Real answer, maybe. But since it was Tricky Dick: I'll stick with my instincts, suspicion it was a conspiracy, of a few, to benefit Them --until another credible explanation turns up.

Tricky Dick's criminal acts --and suitcases full of millions: begat Ford, not elected VP, but hand-plucked by Tricky from Congress --plucked this, that -a nowhere man after Tricky quit --walked himself out, a millionaire, assumed Presidency

--his disgusting outrageous Excuse/Pardon--long-suspected as Deal for getting VP position--of Tricky's crimes, so offensive begat outrage --booted immediately for

--an obscure, inept, stubborn peanut farmer --President; further mis-managed. Prime rate: 23% + 10%--yes, really--oil 'shortage' & gas station lines and lectures and arrogance --begat hostility, Recession --Outrage

--so much: nearly All Americans voted Against Carter --which begat misinterpretation --and passive-aggressive Ronald Reagan, President. He: trickled on Americans.

Environment -workplace --hazardous; pensions -rights -water -land -justice -minerals --stolen? oh well. He refused to appoint people: No watchdogs --no over-sight = No enforcement. Start-up: Stupid government, two-tier America.

When he went IN:
-248,000 people worked for federal government
-Nancy: spent $2,000 bucks per plate on new dishes; unknown $: astrology readings on policies
-Ronnie: cut tax on rich, took 'conservative' credit, naps

When Elephants' fav moved OUT:
-Penta-goons: bloated with weapons -jets -contractors -budget --bigger than any other country
-fed payroll: 475,000 --NOBODY (but me?) remembers that
-The Rich: grew...
-Americans got: Less and less and $1 TRILLION bucks of debt
Reagan's trickle trickle: expanded government, INCREASED debt. FACT.

The Rich --ain't like you & me, They Whine
Ever More... People with millions -Billions say "No" to More? --Practice: 'To those whom Much is given, Much is owed'? --Hire --Share? Then Why: Salvation Army, public pantries, charities and shelters begging for donation?

When Republican Eisenhower was President: what was the top tax rate, after WW II --how much did the rich pay? Their income taxed at eighty-seven percent. 87%

--HOW did WE get Here --rate cut --less than half rate it was???
The Thug & The Dick: blew on the economy, for eight years --on aggressive --on secret deals --on aide to a religion --jobs shipped Off-shore --tax evasion on energy -millionaires -billionaires -corporations --handed off Billions --bailed out Incompetent devious banksters, Wall Street weasels --finished off working Americans --blew and blew till they blew town.

"Deficits don't matter" --to The Dick: as President of Vice went in WH front door his last employer, Haliburton, sent over a check for $34 million. Who knows how much They left with --he and The Thug didn't stick around to put Back -create jobs HERE --Clean Up the mess, They got theirs --left us with a parting gift: $14 Trillion bucks in the hole.

Right-wing TV, radio rabble: rabidly trying to pin it all on the next guy in the door.

1980 - 2008, 28 years - ONLY the Democrat, in the middle, Clinton, Did the math --created a surplus --generated jobs-- Three Republicans President --but the billionaires don't play - pay fair --$1 Trillion debt increased to $14 Trillion

NOW: Deficits Matter --Notice Eerie Silence?
Oily boys, like BP Louisiana dumper: drill OUR oil --don't pay $35 Billion --tax 'break'; mining --'special' tax deals for toxic carbon-producers; ore -water -minerals -asset rights of nation's park assets --pals Profit, at $1. a year, when they remember to pay. But The Dick: now ain't got nothn' to say --all those deals arranged his way... getting a cut each day?

We've heard from: Bill Gates and Warren Buffet --#1 and #2 wealthiest Americans. They: Don't want their taxes reduced.

Where is Oprah?
Winfrey has become a Billionaire pandering to the public --on our air waves --violated Fairness Doctrine, during California election; talks every day, makes Moral Pronouncement about Others --but: Zip to say on lower tax on highest income?

Advertisers pay her millions to run ads. Others do the actual work, She ISN'T digging ditches -running construction --she's sitting for an hour, talking, except summers -holidays. If Winfrey peeled 4% more off her annual Personal income: how long would it take to replace --a month -ten days -two hours?

Wall Street weasels: bailed out by taxpayers, paid themselves millions in "bonus" --CEO Goldman Sachs -Moody's -Merrill Lynch Bank of America Citi Wells Fargo AIG Chase --all the others chasing us, our money --where is their PR statement --rejection of More?

Hedge Fund Managers --can't manage to put back --some???

Chamber of horrors commerce Karl Rove --sly FOX "news" owner Rupert Murdoch --Koch brothers, election smear ads funders --the others? Not a peep outta any on Public Good--they want All the money?

What the Huck --Mike Huckabee, Republican, ex governor of Arkansas, claims to be a preacher -'conservative' --has a 'pulpit' he shows up on sly FOX weekly --says What on Wealthiest Keeping More -NOT contributing to greater good? So far: nothing. --Lip-service 'patriot' --Not smart enough to get it --"religious" in name only? --uh, Something somewhere... rich people -eye of needles....

Steve Forbes --magazine and multi-millions owner --he's "got" to keep it all --while he whines about taxes?

Hell, Where is elephant: Meg Whitman, ex candidate for governor? She clogged our air waves --hourly, for seven months, NOW she's got Nothn' to say --about Keeping more --about fairness --about putting back?

Squatter in California governor office: got there using Oprah, Leno -our air waves -donor mega-millions to screw California out of $11 Billion to help donor --now using seniors -disabled to 'balance' state's books, he The Reason ONLY state denies Food Stamps to seniors, disabled --Where is his Contribution -Refusal to accept cut of his personal income???

Hey, Mike Milken, ex-con junk bond king --secret 'admirer'/backer of Squatter: you and Ken Lay got him to say plenty to get him shoved into Governor seat, shove California into cliff-edge bankruptcy --Lay is dead, where's Your statement refusing to Keep More?

Say, Richard Riordan, ex Mayor of LA --that 24-hour special oh-so-special $15 million 'loan' --worked out OK, for you --now You're going to --Contribute to the pot hole?

Jay Leno: doesn't 'mind' using our air waves to make multi-millions --pimp Republicans --their ghostly books --violate Fairness Doctrine during elections --but publicity -peep on getting Personal tax boost??? --Hiding in closet, again?

LOWER Tax --for Wealthiest? --dumb de de dumb
Truly Ignorant sipping 'tea' claim to want debt reduced --won't give up THEIR benefits, can't do Simple math, don't understand whom they elected -will do them harm

--Emboldened Republicans, so they: blackmailed President Obama?

President 'traded':
-estates under $5 million: tax from 50% down to 35% --Why is that on the table
-wealthiest --won't change back up -pay 4% more on PERSONAL income as per ten-year old law
For:
-newly-unemployed --insurance extended 13 months
-tax on earnings to $250,000: reduced
-the millions without job 99 weeks: get nothing
On:
-Those about to loose home: Nada
-Banks screwing homeowners -denying small-business loans: silence
