Progressive Politics: Tea Parties, Protests and Riots

We are heading in a natural progression caused by fiscally irresponsible congressional spending starting with Bush and being expanded by Barry by quantum leaps. A pendulum that swings in the upper quadrant of lack of fiscal responsibilty. And we call this pendulum swing in the upper political quadrant Progressive Politics.

The progression started tea parties, followed by protests which soon will lead to worse things like riots and strikes. Note the quick progression. February, civil tea parties. March, protests aimed at AIG. It is well-known there are going to be more tea parties in April and maybe this time, not so civil. So its easy to anticipate riots and strikes are to follow soon. So Barry better hurry up and arm the Brown shirts and Gestapo. Barry's getting ready.

Only the novice fails to understand that someone has to pay for all this stimulus nonsense by increases in lots of taxes And naturally, who derived the most benefit--corporate America and big government. And who is going to have to pay for it-the middle class.

Today, the health reform group formed by Barry released their alleged and gigged pro-Abomination health care status report. Heavily favoring forced health insurance for all-a deceptive lead-in to nationalization of health care. And their consensus to pay for this subsidy-tax health insurance benefits. Meaning middle class America pays for it.

During 2005 while campaigning, I heard loud and clear that middle class America rightfully was the most upset of any political economic group. They understood the rich and corporate America was not paying their fair share of proportional taxes. They did understand if you tax corporate America, generally going to only result in higher prices as a pass thru tax. Nor were they happy they as the working class had to subsidize the burden of the lower classes either.

So the middle class is mad getting squeezed by both economic groups. An opinion I concur with. But being an advocate for the poor and those on fixed incomes, I did my best to argue who the true enemy of the middle class is and remains that way-big government and big corporates. In fact, big corporates are really more in charge of the federal government than any other special interest group having bought so many politicans. And it remains that way as evidenced by all these bailouts to corporate America that you the middle class has to pay for. As well as your future generations.

Basically, there remains three special interest enemies still squeezing the middle class--the greedy corporates, their bribed politicans and big and ever-expanding big governments over the entire political spectrum from the federal clear to the municipal government level. So, one suggestion is stop re-electing these free-spending politicans that always have an excuse ready that your reduced standard of living is always somebody else's fault. But not theirs. I was glad to see an increase in middle class America voting in 2006 and expect that trend to continue.

There was no mention in the health care forum about reigning in the costs of health care greed. Merely ideas on how to maintain and improve health care profits. So, if you go to tea parties, start protesting and that leads to riots and strikes. I get it.

As a matter of fact, I wonder what took you so long. Be careful out there. I would never advocate for violent or unlawful behavior. Keep your rightful and justified anger in check, lawful and civil. And don't expect someone else will rectify your middle class problems for you. It is your responsiblilty. You voted these yahoos into office and its your responsibility to get rid of them.
