Let’s Get This Party Started
Monday, April 6th, 2009There are some no-brainer ways to get this economy percolating, yet we steadfastly do not do them. Why ever could that BE? Hmmm, lemme think. /frowns in concentration/
Okay, SINCE WASHINGTON ONLY KNOWS HOW TO THROW MONEY AND REGULATIONS AT A PROBLEM, I’ll hazard a theory.
The problem is two-fold.
1.) Rank-and-file think we can pull this off without some serious belt-tightening.
2.) Ruling Elite thinks it can remain intact.
Barack Obama’s designs for redistributing wealth are economically unsound. Barack Obama himself, The Product, is economically unsound. Longest campaign in history. Spendingest campaign in history. Ten inaugural balls. How do you keep topping that?
Spend MORE, of course.
It is not sustainable. Barack Obama is another bubble.
Let us PLEASE get serious. There are ACTUAL HUMANS who are at the heartless heart of this debacle. Let us roll up our sleeves, and let us do what needs to be done. There are some high-flyin’ quick-talkin’ executives who need to go to federal penitentiaries, right after their ill-gotten assets have been seized, and their families have been tossed into the street. And there are plenty of slick, insincere middle nouveau riche management whizzes — real estate agents, appraisers, loan officers and such — who need to have their licenses yanked. Or I declare that licensing is meaningless, and suggest that up-and-comers should save themselves the rigors AND FEES of securing them.
It is the PERFECT time for wholesale firings of corrupt, lackadaisical, inept and/or inefficient Middle Management AND Federal Employees. We’ve got TRAIN LOADS of Quality Unemployed, Made In America.
Sic the IRS on THEM rather than us. In fact, outlaw the the “career” of Tax Attorney, and oblige all those guys to do some “volunteering” at the IRS. Everyone’s taxes done, for free, by the same people operating with the same rules, period.
I’ll be gettin’ round to the SANITY, LOGIC, REASON AND JUSTICE of a Flat Tax, as anyone who has had to endure my rantings already knows.
Anyone who is ANYONE knows that there are powers behind the throne. Those shadowy kingpins of the ages can relax and call off the dogs, mainly. No one really wants capital-C Change (except the poor countries, who are all for our handing over the lifestyle that we earned with blood, sweat and tears), no one really wants to upset the apple cart (except our OWN freeloaders who, like other downtrodden peoples, stand to benefit mightily from the largesse of Barack Hussein Obama (who now jetsets with the Swells who are above the fray) — it couldn’t be more clear that the American people have no stomach for war when it’s on their OWN turf.
But things done got outta hand. Money is one more addiction in a Nation of Addicts. Those who looked the other way while Bad Guys, real Stinkers, sold America down the river are gonna have to give some of those Bad Boys up. Some people HAVE to take the hit. Some people HAVE to go down.
Look only to the banking scandal of the Eighties to know there is no other way.
I’m makin’ a business out of Dragon Slaying, and I’d appreciate some moral and financial support.
Skyscraper of Liberty
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Among the architectural and engineering wonders of the world, only one is quintessentially American.
Castles, bridges, dams, arches, cathedrals, temples, post offices, museums, senates, coliseums, towers, obelisks, theaters, opera houses, hotels, pyramids, even banks . . . we invented none of ‘em.
But the SKYSCRAPER has American ingenuity written ALL over it. We NAILED the concepts of ambition, efficiency, innovation and style with the Skyscraper. An unabashedly phallic symbol, it’s reach-for-the-stars gusto leaves nothing to chance and everything to the imagination.
Not that anyone asked, but I don’t like the name One World Trade Center. It’s anemic and obsequious.
I like Skyscraper of Liberty. It makes for a nice set.
