I strongly agree. The left has mostly decided to denigrate and obstruct the rights of conservatives day after week after month after year. The whole narrative is about emotion. Not fact. And so much of it goes beyond hypocrisy to delusional or even insane. Two good examples of this are so called "feminists" embracing Islam, under whose beliefs and rule women have no rights or recourse and are de facto s***es, and paedophilia is part of the culture. Then we have planned parenthood and the push to allow "a******n" of full term infants. In my opinion millions have ALREADY died for this "l*****t spell" you reference.

Most people know of the great depression but few are aware of the great compression. In the 1930's as today, a key line of conservative defense against demands to do something about ine******y was the claim that nothing could be done---that is the claim-- that no policies can appreciably raise the share of national income going to families, without wrecking the economy yet somehow Franklin D Roosevelt and Harry Truman managed to preside over a dramatic downward redistribution of income and wealth that made Americans far more equal than before--and not only did not wreck the economy but set the stage for a generation long economic boom. In 1953 Time magazine, sent one of its contributing editors, Alvin Joseph, on a national tour. His mission was to get a sense of America. The portrait he painted bore little resemblance to the America of 1929. Where the America of the twenties had been a land of extreme's ,of vast wealth for a few but hard times for many, America of the 50's was all of a piece. Even in the smallest towns and most isolated areas the Time report began "the US is wearing a prosperous, middle class suit of clothes " People are not growing wealthy but more of them than ever are getting along. And where the America of the twenties had been a land of political polarization, of sharp divides between the dominant right and the embattled left.

America in the fifties was a place of political compromise " Republicans and Democrats have a surprising sameness of outlook and political thinking. " Unions had become staid establishment institutions. Farmers told the man from Time that if farm subsidies were socialism, then they were socialists. Poverty was no longer a majority condition. By the mid 50's the rich was significantly poorer than they had been in the twenties their incomes were 20 to 30 percent lower and the incomes of the really rich the top tenth of one percent --were less than half of that of the twenties. Meanwhile the real income of the median family had more or less doubled from 1929. And most families didn’t just have more income they had more security too. Employers offered health ins. retirement plans, and the federal government backed it up with unemployment ins. Social Security, and employees with formal education, like lawyers and engineers were paid less of a premium over manual laborers than they received in the twenties --or than they receive today. These statistics tell a human tale, that of a vast economic democratization of American society. By 1955 a majority of Americans owned a car and 70 % had a telephone. The rich might have had bigger houses but they could no longer afford to live in vast mansions and in particular, they couldn’t afford the servants necessary to maintain those mansions. The differences in dress had largely vanished, partly because ordinary workers could afford to wear good clean clothes, and partly because the rich could no longer afford to dress in a style that required legions of servants to help them to get in and out of their wardrobes. but how did that democratic society come into being??????????????

It did not happen by chance, This sudden decline in the fortunes of the wealthy can be explained in large part with just one word; taxes Where todays wealthy receive much of their income from employment (think CEOS and their stock options grants) in the twenties matters were simpler; The rich were rich because of the return on the capital they owned. The division of after tax income changed radically . In the twenties taxes had been a minor factor for the rich. The top rate was only 24 % and because the inheritance tax was only 20 % wealthy dynasties had little difficulty maintaining themselves but with the coming of the new deal the rich began to face taxes that were not only vastly higher than those of the twenties but high by today’s standards. The top rate rose to 63 % during FDRs first term 79 % in his second and during the cold war of the 50’s to 91 %. The average tax on corporate profits rose to more than 45 % by 1955. The top inheritance tax rose from 20 % to 45-60-70 and finally 77 % . While the rich were the biggest victims of the great compression, blue collar workers were the biggest beneficiaries.


Interestingly the economy did not collapse, and the wealthy did not substantially change their investing habits. The three decades from the mid 40’s to mid 70’s were the golden age of manual labor. In fact by the end of the 1950’s American men with a high school degree but no college were earning about as much, adjusted for inflation as workers with similar qualifications make to day. And their relative status was of course much higher. Blue collar workers with especially good jobs often made as much or more than many college-educated professionals. Why was this the case ? To some extent they were helped by the state of the world economy. US manufacturers could pay more because they faced little foreign competition. They were also helped by a scarcity of labor created by the severe immigration restrictions imposed by the Immigration Act of 1924. But if there was a single reason blue collar workers did so much better in the fifties than they had in the twenties it was the rise of unions. By the end of the twenties, American union movement was in retreat.

Major organizing attempts failed, partly because employers successfully broke strikes and partly because government consistently came down on the side of employers, arresting union organizers and deporting them if , as was often the case they were foreign born, by 1930 a bit more than 10 percent of workers were organized roughly the same share as public and private sector workers today. But under the new deal the Wagner Act was passed in 1935 and by 1947 more than a third of non farm workers were members of unions---and many others were paid wages that were, explicitly or implicitly, were set either to match union wages or to keep workers happy enough to forestall union organizers. Why did membership surge? Until the new deal the federal government was a reliable ally of o employers seeking to suppress union organizing or crush existing unions. Under FDR it became instead a protector of workers right to organize. Unions have two main effects relevant to the great compression. First unions raise average wages for their members and indirectly and to a lesser extent lift the wages of those that aren’t represented by unions as non union employers try to diminish the appeal of union drives by their employees to their workers. But still the full t***sformation needed WW-ll. For almost four years in the 1940’s important parts of the economy was more or less directly controlled by the government, as part of the war effort. And the government used its influence to produce a major equalization of income.



The war produced huge inflationary pressures, leading to government price controls on many key commodities, wages in many key industries were also placed under government controls.

Not surprisingly given FDR’s values the rules established by the NWLB tended to raise the wages of low paid workers more than those of highly paid employees. Following a directive by FDR that substandard wages should be raised. So during the brief period of time when the US government was in position to determine many workers wages more or less directly, it used that power to make America a more equal society. And the amazing thing is the change stuck. In 1948, the fear of change named Harry Truman the 33rd President of the United States. Americans had watched a Republican controlled Congress diminish the progress of the New Deal, and feared the outcome of a Republican White House. Political progress was at a standstill throughout the Long Gilded Age, but an increasingly privileged lower-economic class embraced liberal ideals. By the early 1950's, policies and programs associated with the New Deal were enduring and conventional.

I'm sure that you must have been thrilled when POUS Clinton, on his last day in office, pardoned Mark Rich, a white collar criminal on the FBI's 10 most wnted list who had contributed millions to the Clinton campaigns(coinsidence, of course).You were happy after 8m women died after they got the a******n pill, which POUS Clinton had the FDA pass without the reuired testing for safety. And when Obama set records for campaign contributions. The Democrats like to pretend to be the party of the poor and Middle Class. I doubt that poor and Middle Class people gave zobama the contributions of hundreds of millions of dollars.Wen't you so happy when SOS Clinton allowed the Russians to aquire 20% of US uranium, after Russia gave Clinton millions of dollars via the Clinton founation and speaking fees to Bill. Wasn't it thrilling when Hillary said that Sentor Robert Byrd was her mentor when she became a Senator. The sam Robert Byrd tht founded a KKK branch.

ARE Americans practicing C*******m?

Read the 10 Planks of The C*******t Manifesto to discover the t***h and learn how to know your enemy...

Karl Marx describes in his c*******t manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a c*******t socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of The C*******t Manifesto… The following brief presents the original ten planks within the C*******t Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart for each of the planks. From comparison it's clear MOST Americans have by myths, fraud and deception under the color of law by their own politicians in both the Republican and Democratic and parties, been t***sformed into C*******ts.

Another thing to remember, Karl Marx in creating the C*******t Manifesto designed these planks AS A TEST to determine whether a society has become c*******t or not. If they are all in effect and in force, then the people ARE practicing c*******ts.

C*******m, by any other name is still c*******m, and is VERY VERY destructive to the individual and to the society!!

The 10 PLANKS stated in the C*******t Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.

6. Centralization of the means of communications and t***sportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of T***sportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of T***sportation regulations.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and s***e labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. C*******t China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the C*******t maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.

Do changing words, change the end result? ... By using different words, is it all of a sudden OK to ignore or violate the provisions or intent of the Constitution of the united States of America?????

The people (politicians) who believe in the SOCIALISTIC and C*******TIC concepts, especially those who pass more and more laws implementing these s***ery ideas, are t*****rs to their oath of office and to the Constitution of the united States of America... KNOW YOUR ENEMY ...Remove the enemy from within and from among us.
