Eat the Rich & Wash Them Down With Kool Aid...




(Note: Yeah, I once railed against the profits of certain large corporations myself, and while I do think some companies make obscene profits by overcharging for their goods & services, I firmly believe in capitalism and a free market economy)

So Warren Buffet says we don't tax him enough, huh? So then freely donate your entire net worth to the federal deficit, moron. That's your right & your choice; don't make everyone give up theirs just because you have too much.



Y'know....you're worth like what, 45 BILLION? That's not your income yearly though. You're an old geezer and it took decades to amass that fortune. You probably only rake in a few hundred mill a year now. So when the IRS taxes you they'll tax you on your income, not what you have tucked away in assets and accounts and what not. So sure, it still doesn't hurt you all that badly if they tax you a hundred mill you still have lots of hidden secured wealth at hand so as not to hamper you privileged lifestyle.

And then there's Michael Moore....who in the past sued Harvey and Bob Weinstein, accusing the brothers of “Hollywood accounting tricks” and “financial deception” that cheated him out of at least $2.7 million in profits from the hit documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
Moore’s entire career has centered around excoriating and crucifying capitalism and profits. One of Moore’s most strongly held convictions is that, as he declared on the CNN program Crossfire in 2002, “Capitalism is a sin. This is an evil system.” And yet that turd bitched about profits that he may or may not have been due. And he thinks we should just bully the guys at the S&P and put them on trial as criminals because they had the balls to do what they said they were going to do and Obama wouldn't listen. Instead, he just kept spending.
The next time that bloated sack of protoplasm or some other scumbag commie liberal opens their suck-hole and demands that we tax the rich to death, or confiscate the profits of corporations, and give it all to the poor huddled non-working lagabout masses sucking the Government Tit, please I beg of you, feed them this. It was written a few months ago for the Iowahawk website. It is effing genius.


Seems like these days I hear a lot of whiney whiners whining about "out of control government spending" and "insane deficits" and such, trying to make hay out of a bunch of pointy-head boring finance hooey. Sure, $3.7 trillion of spending sounds like a big number. "Oh, boo-hoo, how are we going to get $3.7 trillion dollars? We're broke, boo-hoo-hoo," whine the whiners. What these skinflint crybabies fail to realize is that $3.7 trillion is for an entire year - which translates into only a measly $10 billion per day!

Mister, I call that a bargain. Especially since it pays for all of us - you and me, the whole American family. Like all families, we Americas have to pay for things - health, food, safety, uncle Dave America with his drinking problem. And when little Billy America wants that new quad runner they promised, do Mom and Dad America deny him? No, they get a second job at Circle K, because they know little Billy might have one of his episodes and burn down the house.

So let's all sit down together as an American family with a calendar and make a yearly budget. First, let's lock in the $3.7 trillion of critical family spending priorities; now let's get to work on collecting the pay-as-we-go $10 billion daily cash flow we need.

12:01 AM, January 1
Let's start the year out right by going after some evil corporations and their obscene profits. And who is more evil than those twin spawns of Lucifer himself, Exxon Mobil and Walmart? Together these two largest American industrial behemoths raked in, between them, $34 billion in 2010 global profits. Let's teach 'em both a lesson and confiscate it for the public good. This will get us through...

9:52 AM January 4
Okay, maybe I underestimated our take. But we shouldn't let Exxon and Walmart distract us from all those other corporate profiteers out there worth shaking down. In fact, why don't we grab every cent of 2010 profit made by the other 498 members of the Fortune 500? That will net us another, let's see, $357 billion! Enough to get us to...

2:00 AM February 9
So we're running out of corporate cash, but look - it's Super Bowl time! As we all know, the game has become a crass disgusting festival of commercialism. So let's take all the TV ad money spent on stupid Super Bowl ads, and apply that to government needs. That would be $250 million, enough to fund us for, let's see... 36 minutes. The half time show, at least. But why stop there? Let's take every cent of ad money spent on all 45 Super Bowls, a cool $5 billion, which would cover us until...

2:00 PM February 9
Speaking of sports, why should the players be immune to our pressing public needs? Lord knows professional athletes make obscene salaries for playing a dumb game. So let's take the combined salaries of all players in the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA, and the NHL. Hey, they've got endorsement deals, they'll hardly miss it. Throw in the total winnings of everybody on the PGA tour and NASCAR, and we get $9.4 billion, enough to get us through until...

1:00 PM February 10
Okay, it's time to stop messing around. Athletes aren't the only ones greedily raking it in. What about America's rich - those fancy pants fat cats living the high life in the above-$250,000 income bracket? According to IRS statistics, these 1.93% of US households are hogging 25% of US income. And why do they need it? For crying out loud, they probably stole it anyway. I say let's take 100% of every penny they make above $250,000. They can use the rest to pay their state and local taxes. Now we're talking big bucks, brother. How much? Let's see...


A: Number of US households: 116,000,000
B: Average US household income: $68,000 (median = $52,000)
C: Total US household income (A * B): $7.89 trillion
D: Percent of households above $250k income: 1.93%
E: Number of households above $250k income (A*D): 2,238,800
F: Percent of national income earned by households making $250k or more = 25%
G: Total income of households making $250k or more (C*F): $1.97 trillion
H: Total income of households in excess of $250k (G - E*$250,000) = $1.412 trillion


Alright! Take that, fat cats! Our $1.412 trillion windfall has us covered for the next 141 days, or until...

6:00 PM July 2
Well, I guess maybe there are a few items we can cut from the budget. Those quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, for example. Why don't we end all funding for those wars, and bring our troops home to march in the Fourth of July parade? That would save us $105 billion Afghanistan and $159 billion in Iraq, a total of $264 billion - enough savings to cover us until...

4:00 AM July 29
Summer blockbuster season! And of course the biggest blockbuster of all time was Star Wars. To punish George Lucas for those stupid sequels, let's confiscate every penny of revenue generated by the Star Wars franchise since 1977 - movies, TV rights, books, toys, action figures, everything - which nets us $25 billion. Enough to keep the lights on until...

4:00 PM August 1
Well, there's plenty more money in Hollywood to go after. So, for the national good, let's evict everyone in Beverly Hills and sell their homes at current market value. 15,000 homes at $2 million per gets us another $30 billion, paying the bills through...

4:00 PM August 4
The kids will be going back to school soon, so we're gonna have to bring out the big guns and really go after those moneybag plutocrats like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Between 'em, those two bastards have amassed a combined fortune of $100 billion. What kind of jerk needs that kind of money? The worst thing is they're shielding it from the public treasury using the oldest trick in the billionaire playbook - by continuing to live. Once they kick the bucket, and after we close the estate tax loopholes, the American public will get the 50% of their ill-gotten loot we so richly deserve. So let's say we arrange a couple of unfortunate "accidents" for Mssrs. Gates and Buffett. Now we've got another $50 billion for the US coffers, enough to get us to...

4:00 PM August 9
Aw, screw it. There are plenty more American billionaires to go after - 398 more to be precise, according to the latest Forbes 400, with a combined total net worth of $1.29 trillion. 398 more "accidents," 398 more estates taxed at 50%, and we've got another $650 billion to tide us through...

4:00 PM October 13
Crap. Okay, let's just kill all the billionaires and take all their money. Add in another 100 or so of the almost-billionaires, and that buys us an additional 73 days until...

4:00 PM December 25
Merry Christmas! Just one more week to go. In the spirit of the season, let's give the surviving conservative wingnuts a few of the budget cuts they've been bitching for, like getting rid of foreign aid. This saves $50 billion - getting us to...

4:00 PM December 30
Only 32 hours to go! To cover the remaining $12.5 billion vital federal program tab, let's pass the cash bucket and demand every surviving American man, woman and child to kick in another another $40 bucks. I'm pretty sure they will, after all those previous "accidents."

12:00 AM January 1
Happy New Year!

See? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Time to do it all again, except this time we'll need to come up with $11 billion per day. I'm sure we'll figure it out somehow.
Do you know where we can get some more plutocrats?

PS---Eff you, Moore. You hack.

Obama: Islam has always been part of America


The other day, Sultan Obama held his annual Iftar feast to celebrate Ramadan. This isn't really new, since GW Bush did it too. However, I think this guy, unlike his predecessor, not only understands these Islamic holidays, he embraces them.

Well, during his TelePrompter Wordfest (what Presidents used to call a speech), Imam Obama broke loose with the following:

"And tonight, we are reminded that Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity. And Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been a part of America. The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan —- making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago. (Applause.) "

Well....could it be that Jefferson never thought they were giving an "Iftar dinner" but simply having a dinner, at a time convenient for this envoy (yeah, an envoy, not an ambassador to an embassy), accommodating him because he represented a backwater on the coast of North Africa that was one of several Ottoman Muslim states attacking American shipping and seizing American ships and seamen. Pharaoh Obama's attempt to rewrite history here is typical.

Jefferson was outraged and appalled by the demands of ransom for sailors captured from American vessels and the Barbary states’ expectation and demands of annual tribute to be paid as insurance against future seizures. He took an uncharacteristically hawkish position against the prevailing thought that it was cheaper to pay tribute than maintain a navy to protect shipping from piracy. Hell, the Muslims had been attacking American shipping since the Revolutionary War...

From 1801 to 1805 Jefferson fought against the Barbary pirates, attacking their strongholds in Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria. President Madison had to further deal with more crap from them in 1815 after the conclusion of the War of 1812. (Hey, how about those Marines and the shores of Tripoli, huh? Try looking up Stephen Decatur and the term "leatherneck").

So yeah...you were rigt in a roundabout way; we've had to deal with Islamic violence from the very beginnings of our nation. And we're still dealing with it, even from your beloved Muslim Americans like Nidal Hasan and Naser Jason Abdo...






Sunday Comics for 8-14-2011


But the Tea Party people are racists? Yeah, okay...sure. Whatever...






























He's back! Time to declare Teahad!


Okay, okay..... I was slack. I took a break. I got insanely busy with work, because unlike far too many Americans, I still have a job and it keeps me pretty busy. That, and I kinda got distracted by a new creative outlet for my energies, one that I will soon share with all of you.

In the meanwhile, during my absence, the economy was further flogged by the antics of the Left, with a wretched excuse for a Debt Ceiling Compromise foisted upon us by idiots, buffoons, Rinos, and Socialists. A workable plan to reduce the debt and give a balanced budget a mandate in the Constitution was trashed and crapped on and replaced by a farce.

And who got the blame? The TEA PARTY. Of course....we should have all seen this coming. We're called terrorists akin to Islamofascists wrapped in bomb belts ready to blow up all who stand in our way. We're blamed for the S&P downgrade of America's credit status; in fact none other than filthy-rich Leftist swine John Kerry said it was "a Tea Party Downgrade"..... excuse me, Senator Scumbag, sir, but *YOU* have been in office mucking things up for 26 years and the Tea Party has been around perhaps two years. The Left has been blaming the previous administration for so long that no one believes the BS anymore, so instead you start blaming the people who banded together because of your chicanery.

So if I am to be labeled a terrorist and reviled for my beliefs, then I'll give you what you want. I hereby issue a Bagwa (named for tea bags) against the Left. I hereby call for the Left to be thwarted at every opportunity, to bring back smaller government, more fiscally-responsible government, to strengthen our economy, protect our borders, to whittle down these ridiculously bloated entitlement programs, to bring us back to the forefront of the world stage without being the laughingstock of that same stage. I call for Teahad to be waged.

Stick to your Conservative values. Spread the truth to counter the lies. Support strong Conservative candidates and kick out both the Leftists and the jellyback RINOs who ruined the country we grew up in. We can take back our country and right the ship of state the Left thought to scuttle. We can rebuild from our economic rubble & ruin. I'm no neophyte neocon. I'm hard-core. And I'm back.
