The Truth About the Economy

Obama is running around giving optimistic speeches about the economy while ordinary Americans know the truth that our economy has fallen apart.  We don't need a jerk in the White House that's too stupid to understand that American workers can't compete against Chinese workers that earn $145 a month.  Obama should resign and let someone with some brains and balls take over.

There are two types of businessmen in America- there's the local small business owners that have to be responsible and honest because they have to see their customers face to face.  Then there's the businessmen that run major corporations and only associate with other executives of their ilk- they live to line their own pockets and con investors into buying their shares even though the markets have gone nowhere in the last ten years.  Ordinary Americans aren't making money on their 401 (k)'s but they have no real alternative to save for their retirement because the corporate bosses have used their Republicon whores in Washington to 'rig the game'.  Remember shitbag Reagan with his 'supply-side' economics?  We'll since Ratgun, the game has been rigged to make the supply-side richer and richer while driving down the wages of the 'demand-side'.  They've done this so well that they have completely broken the supply-demand balance of the American economy.

Politicians Against Trade Protectionism - Vote them OUT!

Whenever anyone manages to bring up the subject of the millions of American jobs that have been exported to Asia, most politicians immediately say, "I'm against protectionism" and I find myself wondering why would I vote for a politician that isn't going to try to protect American jobs and American companies from unfair foreign competition?  If the bastards aren't working to protect America, what do we need them for?  We should kick them out and elect political representatives that ARE loyal to the American People.  

Oppose the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has gone from being an advocate for the business community to a supporter of big corporations that are ripping off the American People and our Treasury and shipping American jobs offshore.  Whatever the Chamber supports, you should support the opposite. 

They are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on advertizing campaigns dedicated to corrupting our judicial system so that big corporations can market dangerous products and not be held accountable when they hurt consumers. 

They are running ads opposing regulations that would prevent Wall Street Banks from wrecking the global economy and destroying millions of jobs and the life savings of ordinary people.

They want us to tell our political representatives to oppose a Consumer Financial Products Agency that would protect the public from being ripped off by Banks and other financial organizations.  In other words, they want to continue letting these thieves steal from consumers and make sure that they are not held accountable for their crimes.

They support Free Trade that has destroyed our economy, driven 25 million jobs offshore and bankrupted more than 200,000 American companies.  They have wrecked our Labor Unions so that there is very little opposition to the ability of big corporations to drive down the wages of Americans and their ability to support the demand-side of our economy.

Tom Donohue, the head of the Chamber is a street thug from New York that should be in jail, not at the head of an organization that can influence the world economy and corrupt our government and legal system.  If you want to find the person most responsible for the economic collapse, Donohue is it.  He is as close to the anti-Christ as anyone on Earth.

Whatever the Chamber wants, support the opposite. 

Free Trade Breaks the Supply / Demand Balance

The most fundamental rule of any economy is the need for a balance between supply and demand.  Free Trade has broken that balance.  The supply-side has been making war on the demand-side for 40 years and now our economic system has completely broken down.  They used Free Trade to undermine American workers and drive down their wages.  More and more wealth has piled up on the supply side and workers on the demand-side no longer have money to consume the products and services offered by the supply-side.  All over the world, consumers aren't buying, small business owners aren't investing (because they have no customers) and global corporations are paying such lousy wages in third world countries that workers there have no money for anything beyond their basic survival.  This isn't a just a Recession- it's a 'race to the bottom' that is hurting everyone.  And it has to be stopped!
