Republican vs. American Values - The Record

 Let's review what Republican Party Policies gave to us from 2000 - 2008:

• Cut taxes for most citizens ended up starving government of adequate funding.
• Deregulated investment banking to bring unfettered free market principles back to business, created greedy investment banks that defrauded depositors by borrowing large sums of money from the Federal Reserve at extremely low interest rates, gambled on exotic financial instruments earning large fees and high interest rates for management while Federal Government Regulations protect depositors (FDIC Insurance) holding our government hostage to bail out these shysters.
• Created unbalanced Government Budgets which did not account for all actual government outlays (GOP never budgeted for off balance sheet expenditures like Middle East Wars) widening deficits.
•  Allow corporations to damage the environment and our financial system then prevent subpoena power to congressional oversight committees entrusted by our constitution to protect the people from such acts.
• Now, today call for further tax cuts and tax cut extensions due to the depressed economy brought upon the nation by the very same policies they call to action today.
• Create larger and larger government deficits with full knowledge that our citizens are aging will be cashing in on the insurance programs they paid for during their entire working life. GOP failed to properly budget for and fund these promises for an entire decade and today want the average citizen to believe we can't afford what the republican's purposefully created with deficit spending.

In short the activities which caused our problem today were imprudent tax cuts made by those who always talk about our job creators (Republicans, where are the jobs?). And when our government officials ought to have been planning to secure the benefits citizens paid for their entire working life rather they were offering corporate socialism to the job creators (no jobs) and fighting unpaid for wars. The campaign slogan of the Romney/Ryan ticket is "Bring America Back".

For 10 years Republican Policies were catering to the wealthiest of our nation taking the middle class in America to its knees; sending millions of ordinary citizens into bankruptcy, family's onto food stamps and into the welfare and medicaid social safety net systems. When President Barack Obama took over in 2009, the worst had not yet peaked. His policy shifts were good, have had the effect of ending the carnage.

3 years is insufficient time to dig America out of the "largest Republican hole" every created in the modern era, Especially when the Republican controlled House of Representatives never negotiated in good faith. When the Republican Senate minority used the cloture or  filibuster rules in every way possible to be sure AMERICA and therefore Barack Obama "never received a win". The Republican party's number one priority was to see that Barack Obama was a one term President.

The policies presented today by the Republican Party are a heavier dose of what were were provided during the years 200-2008. The Republicans want you to believe the correct course for America is to offering more tax cuts and deregulation (and to have average people sacrifice the benefits citizens have already paid for their entire life knowing the security they will need in their retirement years.


MEDICARE/MEDICAID:
Taxes Paid Years in Advance for Services Rendered at Retirement.

• 30 year old paid these taxes for at least 10 years
• 35 year old paid these taxes for at least 15 years
• 40 year old paid these taxes for at least 20 years
• 45 year old paid these taxes for at least 25 years
• 50 year old paid these taxes for at least 30 years
• 55 year old paid these taxes for at least 35 years
• 60 year old paid these taxes for at least 40 years
• 65 year old paid these taxes for at least 45 years

Tell the entire Republican party that their words which twist the truth are unacceptable. Tell then that you know when the GOP uses euphemisms to distort the truth. Tell them that the standard marketing done with Frank Lutz which tells the GOP which words to use to mislead average American citizens won't work this time around. The tax cuts for job creators did not create jobs, the deregulation lead to shenanigans and skulduggery all which hurt millions of people and created enormous debt.  

Tell the Republican party they will never get away with their budget proposals on Medicare, Social Security and their attempts to erase the American standards set for America's social safety net are a recipe for failure.


Tell your elected official the Republican Parties solution for our countries economic problems are unacceptable to you as a citizen of the United States of America.

Who Can Negotiate Health Care Costs?

You, your family, your doctor, your hospital, or is it the government and/or an insurance company.

Today received a bill for diagnostics (Standard Blood Work Tests) a routine set of tests for any citizen going to a physician for an annual check-up.

The Lab standard charges were $766.85.
The Insurance Company Health care Plan Negotiated Costs Approved at $96.25.

An uninsured person in in my locale pays almost $800 and an insured person pays almost $100.

You can not negotiate, your family can't negotiate, your doctor has no ability to negotiate (he signs insurance company agreement or is not an in-network healthcare provider choice in the network he did not agree with) so that leaves the private for profit insurance company and/or the government negotiating for you.

So who has your best interests at heart, a not-for profit government program like Medicare or your private for profit insurance company?

Citizens either pay full fare (uninsured) citizens pay private Insurance company negotiated rate (they differ) or citizens pay the government not for profit rate that every insured pays.

Imagine, the Republican party does not want to have the Medicare, Veterans Healthcare Services or Government Insurance Pools competing against the Healthcare Insurance Industry negotiating pricing with healthcare providers.

Further, the Republican party wishes tens of thousands of citizens to remain uninsured, do you now understand why?

Support a single payer system, one negotiation with payment of fair price to healthcare providers so healthcare professionals earn a healthy living, allowing every citizen health care coverage at the same cost.

Job Creation - Corporate Income Taxes & Reality

Taxing the wealthiest Americans a 35% rate vs. a 28% rate on every extra $1,000,000 of investment income if every other deduction for their business remains the same means this:

The former tax rate of 28% cost $280,000 in tax revenue leaving $780,000 of net income after taxes.

The revised tax rate of 35% cost $350,000 in tax revenue leaving $650,000 of net income revenue.

Any Republican Party official who says to you that a job creator will stop investing in existing businesses, create new businesses or the continued use of existing or new investment vehicles all of which sustain or create jobs are “full of beans”

Business owners are NOT going to stop investing because their investment only produces $650,000 rather than the $780,000 they earned in the years America gave them the gift of the George W. Bush Temporary Tax Cuts.

 

The job creators will continue to invest in products and services that people of the world will buy. Our government can pay down some of this unnecessary debt. And can assist our fellow citizen in need of food and healthcare for their family allowing them to buy products and services made by our job creators.

And it is about time we expand the investments in our countries infrastructure allowing our job creators to create better products and services and deliver it through out the world. We are a consumption economy, we need people buying products and services for greater job creation; we need a an increased revenue stream demonstrating government officials can balance income with expenses; NOT more tax cuts.

  

There are no smart business people who actually pay the standard tax rate. Every person who owns and operates a business uses deductions, depreciation's and other tax loop holes to reduce the actual tax rate that the job creator pays.


It is tiring keeping track of all the nonsense the Republican party tells to our citizens.


Sadly, many are incapable of knowing how badly they are being deceived.

#GOP Lunatics Confused About Who Creates Jobs

Big business and small business alike will not add jobs until demand for their products and or services increases.

The uncertainty of tax our structure, increase or decrease is not relevant. The increase or decrease of government regulation is not relevant. All good business men/women easily create a 1, 3 or 5 year business plan which includes all fixed costs, including taxes. Business owners will not create new jobs until demand for their products and or services increases above their present capacity.

Does it matter if there is a Republican or a Democrat in federal office? Yes it does, their tendency to use euphemisms, psychological mirroring, and out right lies to average American citizen suggest that their time has come; end republican control of congress.

The time has come to send Republicans home from congress during our 2012 Federal Elections. The fact is that REAL job creators are NOT wealthiest among us as the Republican Party says over and over and over again. And no, job creators are not the top ten percent of wage earners among us since the wealthiest among us have a tendency to bank extra disposable income rather than spend this money buying unnecessary goods or services. So what the GOP says about job creators is wrong, job creators are not solely business owners, or small business owners.

The job creators in America are the whole lot of us (the bottom 90 percent), calling us the greater middle class.

JOB CREATORS ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS!

Job creators demand goods and services that business men and women meet with the products and services that they create. Unmet demand makes new production lines or allows a new business entity to compete.

Job creators are the collective citizenry spending their hard earned money to buy products and services that businesses owners produce. And when demand for products and services out weighs the supply of products and services (more buyers than people employed can make) business owners hire more people.

Small business people and risk takers deploy capital to satisfy unmet demand by supplying a product or service.

Job creation has little to do with, as the Republican Party says, " Job killing regulations" or "tax uncertainty", these Republican ideas are fantasy, about as real as the story line of the "The Wizard of Oz".


Business will not create jobs until demand outweighs supply.


And Americas Job Creators are not the wealthy in America or in the world; it's the consumers of products and services; consumers are the worlds only job creators.
