POLITICIANS MISLEADING VOTERS WITH NUMBERS

Presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton yesterday told an election gathering in New Hampshire that there are 47,000,000 "uninsured" Americans.

This is like saying I saw Mrs. Clinton talking to several pairs of legs. And if I make such a statement the audience would not only laugh at me but also think that either I am crazy or under the influence of some illegal substance. But if I explained that all those pairs of legs were attached to bodies with hands and heads then you would recognize that the audience were people and while talking about people I only noticed their legs.

So what Clinton said is only a part of the "health-care in America facts."

HERE IS THE TRUTH. THESE "ESTIMATED-47" MILLION PEOPLE ARE NOT SICK, THEY DO NOT HAVE "HEALTH INSURANCE." AND MANY OF THEM CHOSE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT GET SICK EVERY YEAR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY.

Candidates for politicsl offices never tell you the truth about anything, but rather would arouse your emotions to such an extent that you would want to lynch their opponents immediately, even without a trial.

The most important fact about the availability of essential health-care is that in almost every state in the country hospitals cannot deny care for the sick. So here are some truths about health-care and "the uninsured:"

(1) According the Census Bureau, as of this moment - 6.10 p.m. on January 6, 2008 - the population of the United States is 303,183,756 and that means there are 256,283,756 people who are insured. That is 85% of the population and that is good news.

(2) Such is the arousal and desire for promise of "freebies" and inability to distinguish between facts and fiction among many Americans at these emotionally-charged political events that even if Clinton told the audience that there are 470,000,000 uninsured Americans most of them wouldn't even figure out that it might take another 10 years or more for the country to have a population of 470 million!

(3) The most important feature about death in America is that we seldom hear about people dying for lack of health insurance. But thousands die every day from auto accidents and hundreds die at the hands of criminals unleashed into the streets by our criminal industry. Mrs. Clinton seems to have no concern about real death of "the American people."

The real number that scares those who pay taxes is 23-million which is the total number of bureaucrats - all those working for different forms of governments - and the number 3-4 TRILLION which is the amount of dollars every year we Americans spend to pay and care for these "fully-insured" privileged Americans.

If we really want to solve most of our problems which require government solution, we have to recognize that we have an excess four million bureaucrats in America, and if we can eliminate this number by attrition and reducing the size of government we should be able to pay for health-insurance for those who really need it.So I want all you political candidates with scary-statistics to promise to trim the size of obese governments throughout America and then ask for our votes.Get a grip on facts and figures and TELL US THE TRUTH.

BILLY GRAHAM WON'T RUNN FOR CONGRESS

If what Americans hear in the radio and watch on TV are true 2006 elections are over, even though there is still a month left, and The New York Times, CBS Evening News and their partners have overwhelmingly elected democrats to both houses of Congress.

And Christian conservatives, according "produced News" and "un-audited, outcome-based opinion polls" have allowed the democrats to take the country on "A NEW DIRECTION" - R E V E R S E !

The first priority of the new "democrats-controlled Congress" will be to REVERSE THE 2000 ELECTION of George W. Bush. If anybody forgot, this was the election in which the Florida ballots were counted again and again by everyone, not only those interested in the political process but also by those who want to influence it and benefit from it. And that includes the New York Times and partners promoting and advocating the "failed soviet, socialist" policies in America. And every time the votes were counted Bush won. Reversal of the 2000 election can be achieved only by impeaching President George W. Bush. America, for Paul Wellstone's sake, say YES!

The second priority, of course, will be to reverse THE TAX CUT. This would include an act of Congress to take back every penny Americans, including those who make less than 25,000 dollars a year, who benefited from the cut in their income tax. For most Americans, their income is just the paycheck they get every two weeks or so and a tax cut is a pay increase. So, America, for Paul Wellstone's sake say YES to tax increase!

The democrats' third priority will be to reverse the economic progress we had in the last five years. The Dow Jones average has reached all-time high, unemployment is at record low levels and inflation is minimal, and if any, it is only caused by excessive property taxes and government spending in state and local levels. So, to create economic stagnation, high unemployment, higher inflation and high taxes, FOR PAUL WELLSTONE'S SAKE, SAY YES!

The mainstream press in America always promote the notion that it is "the independents" who can sway the elections in one way or the other. In politics, there is no "independent." People vote for condidate who protect their interests. But the truth is that elections are decided by America's largest voting block - Conservatives and Christians - by their decision to vote or stay home because the last guy they voted for did not act like BILLY GRAHAM or somebody that has the admiration of almost every American. To those voters, I say Billy Graham is not running for Congress. America will never get a candidate that has not sinned.

To those Conservatives and Christian voters, I have one advise. For the last fifty years I have been a student of American politics, our government and our social behavior. I am just an ordinary American with an extra-ordinary love for America. The eternal truth in America is that politics dominate many aspects of your lives, whether you like it or not. And politics has only two purposes - to protect what you have and to take what others have! If you really want to protect what you have, you have no business in choosing A NEW DIRECTION - REVERSE!

So, on this November 7th, go to the polls, early and often, cast your votes TO PROTECT WHAT YOU HAVE for your children's sake, and send a message to New York Times and all those forces on the left who work so hard every day to keep you home because you can't find a Billy Graham to vote for.

LIBERALISM - INTELLECTUAL FRAUD PROMOTED AS VIRTUE

American "liberalism" is a movement, a corrupt scheme and an intellectual fraud to get around free market economic system which requires hard work and risk-taking, to create secure, effortless, rich life-style by stealing others' wealth and promoting the scheme as VIRTUE.

What a great idea, even though it is intellectual fraud and a shameful deviation from the realities of life on planet earth! Only in America, one would find a market for such a scheme. Here is how they do it:

• By destroying religion and existing moral standards and replacing it with a synthetic religion - let us call it "UNIMORALISM" for universal morality in which everything is a grey area and moral standards keeps changing according to the given situation, to suit their purpose.
• By demonizing and tarnishing the image of those who promote traditional values and free market economic principles. Remember Newt Gingrich, it took only 24 hours after the 1994 election, for TIME and Newsweek to destroy the reputation he made in 25 years and turn GINGRICH into GRINCH!
• By presenting themselves as Mother Teresa, full of compassion for the poor. That is a scheme to steal billions of dollars from the federal treasury and promote their own selfish interests. According to some studies, only 20% of the money for poverty programs actually goes to the poor. That is why we still have millions of "statistically poor" people.
• By transforming government into a formidable force with almost complete control and authority over a free people.
• By confiscating wealth, disguised as taxation, transferring it to the federal treasury and creating thousands of jobs to count the money for re-distribution.
• By using "poverty" (actually "statistical poverty") "childhood" and "old age" as a cause to sustain millions of synthetic, life-time-guaranteed jobs created in "government"

This is twenty-first century SNAKE OIL, and those of us in the free market sector of the economy should stop buying it. The time for revising and stabilizing our tax system so that the burden will fall on all able-bodied citizens is long overdue.

STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS 2006 - democrats' DESPICABLE ACT OF DEFIANCE, ARROGANCE AND SCORN FOR SOCIAL SECURITY TAX PAYERS IS AN INSULT FOR ALL AMERICANS.

DEMOCRATS, IT IS NOT PRESIDENT BUSH WHO WANTS SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM SO BAD, IT IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO DEMANDS SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM AS SHOWN IN THE POLL BELOW, TAKEN BY A REPUTABLE NEWS ORGANIZATION IN MARCH 2005:


Most Americans do not understand the real meaning of the word " S A V I N G " when democrats say they are "saving" social security. What they really are saying is that they are "saving social security" just as we save Christmas ornaments year after year for future use. Democrats "save" social security election after election to buy votes.

During the State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, the President reminded members of the Congress that his request for social security reform was not addressed yet, and the democrat members jumbed to their feet in jubilation as if they have just won the world series.

These are the biggest L I E R S in the country because every time they say social security is the greatest invention since penicillin, they are lying through their teeth and they know they are telling a lie.

Whenever a politician, democrat or republican, utter "social security trust fund" he/she is L Y I N G, because social security is a tax on one generation to support the previous generation. No money is "invested" anywhere, it is just spent away.

Last year these lying politicians collected 130 billion dollars more than what was needed to pay the current retires AND THEY LAVISHLY SPENT all that money, to buy votes and stay in power.

They are L Y I N G, again, when they say "BUSH WANTS TO PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY." What they don't say is that it is the American taxpayers that want at least a portion - 2 or 3% of the current 13% social security tax - to be invested in secure stocks and bonds, just as the government and other employees do.

Social Security is a pyramid scheme and the primary reason for the survival of democrats as a political party. They do not have any faith in it as a retirement source and that is why they created separate, secure retirement system for themselves and their buddies in the bureaucacy.

Since its inception several reforms and tax increases took place, but social security will be in serious trouble in ten years.

Social Security Reform is a top priority for 100 million American workers in the private sector. For many Americans, social security is the only "pension" they are counting on, and we cannot allow the politicians to use it as secure vehicle for re-election. At least 3% of the current social security tax collection should be set aside for real investment which, in long term, would yield twice the current social security "repayment" which is based on future tax collection.

The proposed plan assures continuity of payments to current retires and those above 50 years of age when they retire. This gives time for those under 50 years to have an alternative source for retirement without becoming homeless.

If any politician refuse to reform social security with a portion of the tax invested in stocks and bonds in individual accounts, he/she must be defeated, so that our children would not be crushed under the weight of unfunded mandates.

"BUSH LIED" ? CLINTON LIED, KENNEDY LIED. AND SO DID AND SO DOES EVERY BODY ! !

Today's BRILLIANT THOUGHT BITE is the repeat phrase we read in New York Times and other print media and hear on ABCNNBCBS (that is ABC+CNN+NBC+CBS, the network quadruplet) "Bush lied." Listening to, analyzing and interpretting news has been my hobby and my preoccupation for the last thirty-two years. That is from October 1st 1973 to the present day.

New York Times whose motto is "all the news that's fit to print" is not what they practice. Actually what they market is "ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIXED TO PRINT." to protect their buddies, to destroy their enemies, help promote socialist agenda and to make a profit. Read their headlines any day and decide for yourself.

So New York Times lies - every day.

Listen to CBS evening news regularly and soon you will realize that CBS is a lot of "B.S."
When CBS or New York Times or any news outlet talks or prints about SOCIAL SECURITY "TRUST FUND" they are lying. There is no trust fund. It is just their hope to tax future taxpayers to pay retires. There is no guarantee how many taxpayers will be there, or how much they will be able to pay. Some people say Social Security is a pyramid scheme, may be it is an upside-down pyramid?

So does every elected politician in America who says there is a social security trust fund, he knows there is not, and he/she is lying.

Let us stop HATRED, let us work together and solve America's problems created by the politicians, the press, television industry, special interest groups, the rich, the poor and every body else - that is us, AMERICANS. You thought you have no part in it? No kidding?

AMERICA'S AGENDA

The 20th century has witnessed massive social changes in America. The most notable among them are the decline in traditional moral values, creation and growth of synthetic rights and privileges invented in Hollywood and legislated into law by the legal industry, the division of Americans into special interest groups, the transformation of the mainstream press into a subsidiary of the democrat party for promoting social causes and the complete loss of political power by individuals.

The most far reaching change of all is the cancerous growth of government and its bureaucracies into an eighteen-million-strong occupational army which is now wrecking the lives of average Americans through excessive taxation, reckless spending and wasted dollars measured in billions.

But we cannot blame the politicians and the social engineers solely for what America is today. The entertainment industry has done a superb job in keeping millions of Americans off balance, glued to TV, thereby enabling them to escape the real world where actions take place and decisions affecting their economic future are made. Many people totally tune off politics and do not participate in the political process allowing crooks, thugs and thieves to take over.
Today, many Americans, especially those under thirty years, decide what is good or bad, or right or wrong based on what they saw on TV. We have political and social institutions which thrive on what should be called “stolen money” but they have been recognized as divine organizations legitimized by legislation.

While many traditional, well-paying jobs are getting extinct or exported to other countries for cheap labor, organized labor unions have taken over government as a source of great wealth. They bribed the politicians, expanded government beyond its legitimate purpose and transformed it into a monster that eats away tax dollars at the rate of almost 10 billion dollars a day. As Reader’s Digest March 1996 issue described, government employees have become the new class of wealthy in America. This tax-financed, privileged class has become the greatest threat to America’s middle-class.

As private sector workers struggle to make a living, they are taxed savagely to accommodate the life-style of “the bureau class.” According to the Census Bureau, the average hourly pay in state and local government is $ 28.33 but in the private sector it is only $17.05. At the federal level it is even higher - $32.83 per hour. And on top of that government employees are paid another 30% tax-free benefits. While their paychecks are heavily taxed to support the current social security retires, private sector employees see their savings siphoned away by the teachers’ unions, thanks to the school tax system.

Meanwhile, with the supreme court’s reckless Kelo decision in June 2005, many Americans are now afraid that money-hungry politicians at local governments might even take away their homes, under the guise of eminent domain, and auction them off to the highest bidding developer. Is making money life’s primary goal? Haven’t our politicians and social engineers learned any lesson from the collapse of the Soviet Union where government was in complete control of people‘s lives? Is America going insane?

While all these things, which will have far-reaching consequences in the lives of all Americans, are taking place what does THE PRESS do? They absolutely have no interest in reporting the truth. They play to the emotions, divide Americans and make them hate each other so that they can make money. Have you ever seen a report on the front page of New York Times or a lead news item on NBC stating that “SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND IS JUST AN ILLUSION” or “ONE-FOURTH OF ALL GOVERNMENT SPENDING IS UNNECESSARY OR WASTE?” All they are interested in is how to destroy Republicans and help Democrats get back in power.
This is the context in which we should re-evaluate the role of government in a free society in the 21st century. We must take a good look at our current excesses and set an agenda to make America, a civilized, fair and decent nation for all Americans, not just the wealthy and the 18 million strong bureau-class. Here is what needs to be done:

1. CHANGE THE MIND-SET OF A “SOCIALIST AMERICA” : Almost half of all Americans seems to have adopted that imported, European, soviet, socialist idea that government is the supreme authority, with power to give or take life, decide what is good and bad for people, and that people should surrender their freedom to government for freebies and an easy life with no personal responsibilities. This dangerous notion which has destroyed the Soviet Union is largely responsible for our moral decay and crimes. Unless we part company with this false notion and try to appreciate the greatness of the legacy that our founding fathers left for America - freedom, free institutions and a an affordable government - we are a doomed nation.

2. NORMALSIZE GOVERNMENT: Our politicians from both parties have been supersizing government for the past fifty years, requiring massive amounts of tax dollars to run its operations. The rich does not feel the agony of excessive taxation because, at least, they can afford it. The poor does not know the devastation caused by over taxation because they are shielded from most taxes and even the social security taxes they pay are offset by a “refund” called “earned income tax credit.“ The politicians and social engineers have carefully crafted a tax system to minimize the chances of a tax revolt. The most pressing need for America’s middle class private sector workers earning between $40,000 and $100,000 before tax assault is “normalsizing” governments at all levels. When government is cut to affordable level taxes will come down.
In order to make governments affordable to those who pay taxes, three important reforms are needed. First, recognizing the fact that in a free society government’s role is limited. Government should not engage in running individual families, personal care and other similar activities simply to create thousands of government jobs to help labor unions collect easy money and live happily ever after. Second, there should be a ratio of not more than 400 government workers to every 10,000 population. Currently it is 500 or more in many states. Third, no government employees shall be paid more than the average pay for similar jobs in private sector. Currently the average wages in private sector, state and local governments and federal government are $17.05, $28.33 and $32.83 respectively. Government cannot be used as a gold mine.

3. PRIVATE WORKFORCE TO GOVERNMENT JOB RATIO: Another measure of a manageable size of government is a ratio of private workforce to government workforce, which currently is 87:13 and it is grossly out of balance. An affordable ratio, in a highly developed, free society like ours is 10:1 and no more. And when the private sector workforce dwindle by outsourcing, lay-off and closing of businesses, a proportionate reduction should take place in government. The union-manufactured, unrealistic, self-serving practice of transferring the additional burden to existing taxpayers when one source of tax dies is totally unacceptable. In stead, the government should cut the size of its workforce to a new level and keep the same 10:1 ratio.

4. UNIVERSAL PARTICIPATION IN TAXATION: There is absolutely no justification for any able-bodied American to be excluded from taxation. As you may know, 97% of the federal income tax is paid by the top half of all taxpayers. The other half pays just 3% and then in most cases they get several times that amount in some form of refund, which is money taken from other people who badly needs it. We need to change the American mindset of government care and adopt the principle of One man/woman, one vote and ONE TAX.

5. RECOGNIZE FUNDAMENTAL, NATURAL TRUTH: There is nothing that comes free. If you got something free that means somebody else paid the price. All men, and that goes for women too, are created equal which means they all have 24 hours of time every day. It is by utilizing this non-renewable resource that people earn a living and make wealth. In a free society it is the duty of every man and woman to take charge of their lives. Running your life is not “the government’s” responsibility. After all government is you, me and the other people!

It will be hard to change America within a short space of time, since millions of people addicted to free money and a life without responsibility will vehemently oppose any change. But this is a medicine Americans have to take, otherwise America will cease to exist within the next decade.

NBC Nightly News Engages in NEWS LAUNDERING : Jan: 24, 2006


It takes a shrewd news watcher to analyze, classify and name the subliminal messages and distortions contained in the evening news. Today's nightly news had two incidents which I classify as "NEWS LAUNDERING." It is something like money laundering. In news, what they do is report a problem, hide the main cause to protect their buddies and present a "decoy" to divert people's attention to a different less relevant cause.

The first one today was Ann Thompson's report on Ford Motor Company's decision to lay off thirty thousand people by 2008. She talked about the loss of market share for American car manufacturers because of foreign competition.

NBC ignored the "greed factor" - $42 per hour for a UAW worker turning a screw on the assembly line or the $3000 healthcare and pension cost in every American car- perhaps the greatest blow to the auto industry from United Auto Workers Union which has made Amrican cars too expensive. At the same, from a news report a few years ago, GM workers in a non-union Saturn plant did a better job at $28.00 and they were happy. The average American pay in the private sector, according to Census.gov is $17.05.

HOW CAN AN AMERICAN MAKING $17.05 AFFORD A FORD MADE BY A UAW WORKER DEMANDING $42.00? Shame on NBC for half-truth.

The second incident was Rehima Ellis' report on baby boomers "caught in between." She was reporting Americans at the prime of their working life having to take care of their parents while paying for college for their children. While Ellis quoted financial planners and "experts" on how to save and spend less, she protected the SOURCE for the biggest loss of income to all Americans - THE OBSCENE TAXATION BY FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. It is excessive taxes, more than anything else, killing Americans working in private sector.

When Americans cut the size of bureaucracy, here again spoilt by UNIONS, from 18 million to not more than 12 million and stop all government waste and duplication, every family will be able to pay for their needs.

Neither NBC, nor any other mainstream media criticises bureaucrats and government waste to the extent that they should. If one-tenth of one percent of the time they spend to quote and repeat who all said "Bush lied" they could educate Americans about our obese governments and how it steal a major chunk of our income. This is NEWS LAUNDERING!
