Obama Requests Release of Bailout Sums

While browsing the internet and getting my news fix of the day for the ludicrous manner in which this country's federal government has lost it's way and the two parties become more and more out of touch with the government the founder's created, I came across an article with respect to the junior senator from Arizona, John Kyl, on President Obama's request for the release of some of the bailout sums in order to assist homeowners who are now losing their homes. Regardless of the fact that this is another example of Washington throwing money at the problem without curing the actual negligence and the self serving political actions of past Congresses which lead to this situation, his position of course is that of the neocon Republican wing which has become more and more radical in it's misconceptions and beliefs. That using those sums in order to assist homeowners is nothing more than "welfare." Although, of course, Mr. Kyl voted for the TARP Act to begin with (as did Obama) giving those large major banks repayment of those loans made to Congress for their election campaigns and then turning around and billing it to the American people. Citizen welfare is bad, corporate welfare in the form of outrageous profits at the American' people's expense for private debt somehow is not. Those on the Hill from both parties at this point need to seek medical attention immediately because we have obviously nutjobs in charge of the asylum.

Within the article itself, he was quoted as saying that welfare recipients do not pay taxes. How clueless can you get? They pay a lot more in taxes than the illegal immigrants that Mr. Kyl betrayed his fellow Arizonans in order to support after McCain withdrew from the illegal immigrant amnesty bill promulgated by Geoge Bush - and who have and continue to take those welfare recipients jobs right and left (and even the returning Iraqi war veterans construction jobs), the reason a good many of them are on welfare to begin with. Although a lawyer also, it appears that Mr. Kyl also is unfamiliar with American history, the founding fathers and our Constitution. At the genesis of our nation's history, it was only the wealthy that did pay taxes - the large landowners and citizens that were the recipients of most of the trade agreements in their belief that to whom much is given in the form of freedoms denied in their former homelands, much is expected. Corporations only pay taxes on their profits. And the lies that continue with respect to the wealthy paying the bulk of the taxes in this country is apparent for the lie it is. The wealthy shelter their income, and protect it through legal or illegal means if necessary. The middle class and poor do not have those options and as such while they may pay less in federal taxes, although I even dispute that assertion in the corporate and wealthy privileges and immunities which have been given under the U.S. tax code, they pay far more in state and local taxes for which those "deductions" have been all but removed with the exception of state income taxes in the majority of the states which also engage in this "double jeopardy" taxation.

The comments and positions are quite insane on both sides of the aisle. Remove the 16th Amendment that created this mess to begin with in the federal government's access to any monies of the citizen's without accountability and which were merely meant for it's enumerated powers and duties, and reinstitute protectionism once again in taxing insourcing and outsourcing of foreign labor and products and especially those corporate entitities that have moved off shore in order to avoid taxation on any level as the "property" that they are to begin with and not 'citizens' in any manner whatsoever, and institute flat rate sales and use taxes once again for property purchases. And sufficiently regulate the large global and national corporations at the federal and state level as the "public" corporations most of them are when they go public and are publicly financed and supported through the stock exchange and public's purchase of their products, and you will see American industry and industriousness once again when those corporate entities use legal means to reduce their bottom line profits by reinvesting in their own companies and those the worker bees that are the backbone of those industries, not the corporate hierachy that has been raping these corporations and then whine about their "excessive" tax burdens in the process. The rest and any "social" programs whatsoever, or care for those who's circumstances are truly not of their own making should have been left to the state governments and citizens to address according to need and number, and civic and religious groups that have historically been the "boots on the ground" in these core missions.

Only a lawyer could use such skewered logic as Kyl's - while supporting then illegal immigration amnesty which has placed a good many of those welfare recipients in their present circumstances for corporate gain and his own benefit, apparently. When the chips were down, Kyl turned his back on Arizonans in favor of the current administrations preference for foreigner's rights in this country over those of the tax paying and lawful citizenry. And I guess Mr. Kyl, being in the hallowed halls of Congress, doesn't realize that a great many of those welfare recipients are also paying for their own incarcerations in Arizona's jails even prior to trials or entry of pleas. And that his salary and benefits are being paid for by the lawful citizens, and not the unlawful ones. Or that taxing the fruits of people's labor is the antithesis of what the founder's fought and died for, and has created a great deal of the homelessness and joblessness in his stated positions on other issues is not conservative at all, and has put them on the government dole. Or that unlike corporations, citizen's can and do find themselves sick and disabled through circumstances beyond their control, while corporations and the rich prey upon those very same individuals as what is occurring in the real estate theft and fraud now going on in his home state of Arizona in it's socialized housing scam.

At this point, the talking points and positions for those in Washington at the present time are just too incredible to believe. And I guess the final observation is, in promoting such insanity it appears the mindset is that bad publicity, even at the state's expense as a representative of it, is better than no publicity at all insofar as the sway of name recognition now holds with so many of the clueless electorate who have been so mind controlled at this point by the mainstream media propaganda for their own ratings grabbers for advertising revenue that "celebrity" even when negative, is better than "integrity" when you are running for political office, at least to have that small notation of recognition made eventually on the obituary notice. When Jefferson's tomb has no such reference, at his insistence, whatsoever other than as founder of the University of Virginia, and reference to his Bill of Rights contribution on the removal of "nationalization" of a stated religion in favor of independent practice and choice. A gentleman farmer who took little from this country or it's people, but gave so much more in return, including a good deal of his own personal wealth to support those who had not been so blessed.

And Kyl, obviously, in his stated positions another mislabled "Republican" and "Conservative," but rather "globalist" in his stated positions of protecting those who are making their wealth and protecting it in offshore accounts and other methods, at the general citizenry's expense. And who supports, obviously, such methods and practices without calling them for what they are, tax avoidance and political appeasement for personal gain at the American citizens and their posterity's future security expense, both economically and physically.
