A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

Do you ever wonder that if I am only a critic or do I ever have any solutions? Yes, I do have solutions, but they all mean making sacrifices and changing our thoughts and they way that we live.

Sadly, that we live in a so called free country, variously defined as a democracy, or a republic depending on who does the defining, we are used to seeing things in a different light, and this obviously hides the truth. As we know that stores and the movies use different lighting techniques to make us look at things differently, it is about time that we grew up and realized that what we are being shown or being told is a farce. That we realize that the politicians are paid agents of various interests, democrats and republicans have no interest in the long term future of this country. Granted both sides pay lip service to how great this country is and how great the things are, and how soon all the problems will be solved, the truth is that if we totally followed the agenda of either party we will soon lose all our personal freedoms and we will work for food just like in any other third world country, with no possibility of breaking loose, lest you be named a rebel or worse a terrorist.

Why is it that the Democrats and the Republicans always end up promoting policies that hurt us, hurt our economy and our country? Why is it that they argue and argue and argue and in the end they always pass the bills that take away freedoms and always seem to help out the super rich? Why is it that the economic policies of the Republicans and the Democrats are always anti working class? It is simple, very simple, they use the television to keep you dumb and ignorant, while you watch the other people on the tube getting it, in reality it is you who is really getting it , get the point??? The big business is paying big bucks to the TV companies to keep you stupid, we have become a biggest community of phallicists in the history of mankind.

Let me paint you a picture, you hear the news from Myanmar where the government is refusing to help the poor victims of the cyclone Nargis, the military is stealing the food from the needy and others with means are hording food supplies, it is called a crime against humanity when you do things such as these.

Now we come back to the United States, we have a free country and market based economy. Back in February of two thousand seven I had predicted food shortages due to converting corn in to ethanol, I had predicted high fuel and food prices. I had also predicted the misery of the people on food stamps and social security. Now we are also in a situation where housing prices are falling and people are defaulting on their mortgages and credit cards in record numbers ( also predicted). As the food and the fuel costs rise it puts the people on the brink of defaults over the edge and exacerbates the problem of credit crisis. In the mean time our esteemed leaders, both Democrats and Republicans running around making excuses and not enacting any solutions. So let me spell it out for you my dear politicians, what is going on the this “free market economy” by your friends with big money (for political donations) and the speculators bidding up prices of crude and the commodities IS a crime against humanity, it is causing American poor and the elderly to possibly die of starvation or to for go their medicines or a trip to a doctor. The speculators of commodities are no different than the military rulers of Myanmar, only these don’t have to use guns they are using their money, the money you said they will use to create jobs.

Here is some things we can do to mitigate the problems.

Increase the margin requirements to fifty percent or more for traders trading in oil and food commodities that are necessary for people to survive.

Increase the capital gains taxes for the same commodities.

Once again stop the ethanol foolishness in its tracks and take away the ethanol subsidies.

Immediately impose a dollar a gallon gas tax to be increased by fifty cents every six months, to take away the speculative interest and to encourage conservation.

The tax money from the fuel taxes should be used strictly for development of public transportation and to provide transportation for the elderly as per need basis.

Any extra funds should be used to reduce the social security trust fund deficit or to provide for an increase in the benefits for the elderly at the bottom rungs of the social security ladder.

A rebate of a few hundred dollars a year for people living (permanently) in rural zip codes where a public transportation system is not feasible or available.

Use this tax money to provide for better insulation of homes for the poor and elderly, to upgrade air conditioning or water heating systems.

This will be a good start, of course the geniuses in Washington could always come up with better ideas, I am waiting.
