Tax The Rich = Communism

[mudwhistle]

I am absolutely certain that you and I are on the SAME side of the barricades. The only thing I strongly object to is the use of the term "socialism" or "socialist" in reference to democrats and globalists.

You're not going to insist that the billionaires and millionaires in the leadership of the Democratic Party are "socialists" or "communists", are you?

Socialism or Communism does not allow for human exploitation and private property for profit.

I know that the term "socialism" is presented the way Mr. Trump and you use it, because that is how you were taught it. But you have been deceived.

And my focus on the "negative" in our society only says that I am a Citizen and I care about what is going on in this country.

I know Americans don't like to be reminded of the genocide of 100 million Native Americans, but it is a bloody stain on our history

I absolutely believe that Americans have no moral right to condemn other countries and regimes after the bloodiest Civil, Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars. And after all that is going in our country right now. We have left a terrible field of tens of millions of graves and hundreds of millions maimed in those countries...

After all, thоse unfortunate were killed and mutilated by our globalist government because it considered them "inferior"...

You're preaching to the choir on some things....America has a history. Every country does.
The problem we have is Democrats in our country are totally ignoring the horrific actions of other countries...choosing instead to teach our kids that America is the worst most abusive country on the planet. We both know that's absolute Bull Shit!!! This is the first country I know of that intentionally shoots itself in the foot at every turn....and it's all because of the weirdos in the Democrat Party.

And Democrats aren't Socialist yet....because their policies haven't been fully enforced.....but their goals are socialist and their tactics are communist. Obama himself was raised by communists all of his life. He never should have been allowed to step one foot in the Oval Office. These people will all be gone when communism hits this country like a sledgehammer.

Yes, you and I have serious differences about how we should perceive ourselves in the world around us.

But what binds us together is that both you and I are CIVIL CITIZENS of this country who are extremely concerned about what is happening in our country. Objectively, this is a nazi-fascist coup d'etat, conspired by Democrats.

As for Obama, his mother, a white Jew, was never a socialist.

We need to work more with ordinary people, including people who were not born in this country. But my words, alas, are not listened to.

Mexicans, Dominicans, Koreans, Vietnamese - they all live in their own neighborhoods, doing business or working, and they have absolutely no interest in the fate of our country.

Obama's Grandparents were communists. His parents met at the University of Hawaii in a class on Russian. He spent much of his childhood living in Indonesia. The homosexual communist who spent time raising him in Hawaii was Frank Marshal Davis, who was on the FBI watch list. He most likely did a Macaulay Culkin on the kid.
Imagine this screwed up person occupying the Oval Office. His father was a bigamist who had abandoned his pregnant wife in Kenya and ultimately abandoned Barry and his mother as well. Far as I've read....Ann Dunham wasn't Jewish. Obama Sr later married a Jewish woman Ruth Baker but that ended in divorce as well. Obama's father was your typical African Male...jumping from flower to flower knocking them up and leaving them in the lurch.
Another thing....bringing people here who have absolutely no interest in the fate of our country is a big mistake. That's one of the requirements to come here, but it appears somebody decided to turn America into another Rome. Filling this country with people who only came here to send money back to another country is only going to cause damage to our economy. 30% of Mexico's GDP is money sent from Mexicans back into their home country.

Obama claimed America was a racist country....even though he lived in a much more racist country. Indonesia was undergoing *ethnic cleansing during Obama's presidency......*a nice way to label race-based genocide. Obama didn't say a word about it. Blaming the US for racism....considering the fact that most other countries are much more systemically racist than we are....by far. Maybe he'd like to bring the same ethnic-cleansing to America....and call it the Transformation of America.

It's on the CPUSA website....it's the first headline on their site....'TAX THE RICH'

LMAO!!!!

Save the nation! Tax corporations! Tax the rich!

Download the PDF for distribution “We’re going broke… We can’t afford it.” That’s the line from deficit hawks determined to destroy Social Security and Medicare and slash every federal, state, and local program that benefits working people.

www.cpusa.org

Yeah, an article from 10 years ago.
They were right.

June 25,2011
Republicans held hostage an extension of jobless benefits for two million workers in order to extort an extension of $750 billion in Bush-era tax cuts for millionaires.

Now, in the name of “deficit reduction,” they are ramrodding a federal budget that slashes education, privatizes Medicare and cuts Social Security. Tax cuts for wealthy individuals, banks and corporations are preserved adding trillions to the deficits. Also virtually untouched is the trillion dollars per year for Pentagon spending and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage started off the decade at about 7.3 percent in 1971, according to Freddie Mac. By the end of 1979, in a time of heightening inflation, that rate rose to 12.9 percent. While inflation doesn't directly influence mortgage rates, if it rises too fast and wages don’t keep up, borrowers have less purchasing power overall.



October of 1981 saw the highest 30-year fixed mortgage rate in history. The rate was around 18.63%. That's 14.13% higher than the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate today. (Source: Historical Mortgage Rates)

So 20% wasn't the stretch you say it is

It's called rounding

Rounding 13% would have been closer to 10%.
Rounding 18% would have been closer to 20%.

13% was when Carter was president.
18% was when Reagan was president.

Rightwinger commented before Reagan was president.
