The Art of the BIG Lie

The Big Lie
 
The best thing you can do is vote with your social income class.  For 90% of America that is vote for anyone but the GOP.  The GOP has gotten the big lie to an art form.  Propaganda in its purest form.  http://news.yahoo.com/romney-interview-says-tax-rate-fair-033140287.html  Mitt thinks his tax rate is fair, but it should be lower.  http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-does-romney-want-start-another-war-middle-014855301--election.html  Mitt would like to start another war?  The Iraq War didn’t make things better, now Iran is moving its influence into Iraq now.  http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000116529&play=1

Global Warming isn’t not real.  http://news.yahoo.com/ice-free-arctic-summers-bring-100100621.html  “Drill Baby Drill” the battle cry.  Millions for the über-rich and oil companies, billions in losses for the masses with weather damages with weather and sea level changes.  Thousands dead. 

Rich people create jobs.  http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/big-lie-rich-people-create-jobs-210637141.html What actually creates jobs, is the economic ecosystem, a strong healthy middle class and customer demand.  The economy is struggling because the middle-class has been gutted by the GOP. Hanauer in the article says we need to  

first, cut taxes for the middle-class and raise taxes on high-income earners.  Plus pay middle-class workers more.  Neither option did you hear in the Mitt Romney fundraiser video, he believes we need to cut American workers wages and cut taxes on the über-rich (himself and his group of friends).

Cut social programs we can’t afford them.  http://247wallst.com/2012/05/22/the-happiest-countries-in-the-world-2/  The happiest people have safety nets. 

Deregulation is important to the consumer and economy.  http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/why-phone-cable-internet-bills-cost-much-130914030.html  No deregulation and privatizing is only good for the über-rich.  It isn’t good for the consumer.  The example is our phone system duopoly in the article. 

Competition will lower prices for the consumer.  In American today with have duopolies like the phone companies you have to choose from.  Monopolies like Microsoft.  And, oligopolies like our health insurance industry.  A is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers, each oligopolist is likely to be aware of the actions of the others. Oligopolists tend to get together (especially if unregulated by a central government GOP) and price fix.  Romney and the GOP are experts at this http://business.time.com/2012/09/13/bain-capital-private-equity-firms-accused-of-price-fixing-in-lawsuit/  Bain dabbled in some price fixing under Romney. 

47% of Americans don’t pay income taxes.  Who are they?  Let’s see they are in the military.  They are elderly, soldiers and college students.  People who have children who make under 30k a year.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyyG9g_F4Kg  The GOP has started a hate campaign directed at old people, military personal and children, who all actually pay taxes in SSN, Medicare, Property, and Sales Taxes.  The GOP is misrepresenting who pays taxes and who doesn’t, and who these people they want us to hate are.  The GOP is also misrepresenting the nature of the problem with social security and taxes.  The nature of the problem is with revenue is that people don’t have a job, we don’t have enough people working, not that the poor are not paying enough taxes.  We can solve the social security problem for our young people if we just taxes social security the same for everyone removing the caps on SSN and Medicare taxes.  CEO’s are paid more than their companies pay in Federal Income Taxes, Apple the most profitable company in America pays 3% in California State Income Tax.  The GOP has given us The Big Lie.  I don’t think old people, college students, children and military personal are the problem!
