War On The Middle Class

         Almost a year ago something inexplicable happened on Pittsburgh's radio waves. Hugely popular talk show host Jim Quinn and his broadcast partner Rose Somma's employment ended. It made no sense...these people who run the radio stations do want listeners right? Anyway I binked that radio station and really had no where to go but longtime Pittsburgh radio station KDKA. So I'm listening in today on the way to work and one of the hosts tells me to stay tuned "You won't believe who are best friends now!" I was pulling into our parking lot but wanted to hear who these two friends were. It turned out to be former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. They are buddy-buddy. Barbara Bush gushed that she "loves" Bill Clinton and thinks that Bill looks to George (I'm not sure which one) as a father figure...the father that he never had. And this surprises someone? I just shook my head. These people (Democrats...Republican elites....Masters of the Universe....the ruling class in general) are family. The following is from a past post..."We live in a new era concerning the economies of the world. Two books caught my attention on this issue. In the first book SUPERCLASS The Global Power Elite and the World They are Making by David Rothkopf, the author is making the point that this elite that has developed are bonded together, almost as family. Their connectedness is such that they often act in unison because they are part of each other's social lives. They live in a world of finance above the realm we live in. Most disturbingly, we can see this economic force transcending even governments in dictating the direction the economies will go
        It was reported yesterday that Facebook is now worth $200 billion dollars. I've given my opinion on Facebook often in these posts. It is a primary feeder for the narcissism that is destroying America. I remind our son of this often, probably somewhat to his chagrin. Anyway there is a piece on Breitbart.com right now titled. "Facebook Millionaire calls Jeff Sessions 'clinically insane' for support of U. S. Workers'." Senator Jeff Sessions had named Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a speech on the Senate floor. Quoting the  Breitbart article "Sessions singled out Zuckerberg's FWD.us, largely because the pro-amnesty lobby has spent millions of dollars trying to ram through a comprehensive amnesty bill that would give the tech lobby massive increases in guest-worker visas at a time when there is a surplus of American high-tech workers and a record number of Americans out of work."
         Breitbart also carried (that's the same Breitbart the IRS recently decided to audit) an article on Howard University professor of public policy Dr. Ron Hira titled "IT Industry At War With Middle Class." Professor Hira is quoted from an interview with Lou Dobbs "...the tech industry supports executive action by President Obama on illegal immigration in order to depress wages, which he stated amounts to war on the middle class...."
         Wages in America are not going up because Corporate America cares only about the investments of its stockholders and hence their own bonuses, and because Marxist strategists always dutifully wage war on the middle class! We are the enemy! The Global Warming scam is part of this putrid mix of the ideologue, the greedy and the dupe as are many of the ludicrous developments in our society from sports, to politics, to education to entertainments.
