About Me:
I have many concerns and many ideas about the nature of modern man- I grew up in poverty but have many experiences that are not directly related to poverty- I have a graduate degree in the Social Sciences and I have a degree in Philosophy.

I am not fond of or shall I say I do not suffer fools gladly especially those who enjoy quoting a feeble minded corpulent Prime Minister of England during the WWII era. Such notions as when young and your conservative you have no heart when mature and liberal you have no mind, or words to that effect are trivial meaningless utterances compared to the writtings of Plato, Hegel, Lennin, Marx, Freud, Neitzsche, Kafka and so many other brilliant writers.
However if one is serious minded they will acknowledge the neccessity of not judging a person only on a few scarse words or utterances. I am at my best when I allow myself to be open minded to hear and consider a different point of view and perhaps incorporate other views into my world view.
Issues I Care About:
Economic and Social justice- Jobs- Housing- Health Care

JOHN's Op-Eds

A lost alienated state to find oneself

Only in Capitalism could natural phenomena - Nurishment and Shelter be turned into somthing one has to seek after in the form of a dream the american dream- a home and sustenance.

 

What a twisted reality man has created for himself.

Opposite of an intent

 

It appears that at some point in time people utilized some form of exchange in order to facilitate their lives. Some form of exchange to make life more simple and perhaps better. However, over time it appears that the means of exchange ceased being a way to facilitate life and became a distructive force. The original purpose turned on itself and became it's opposite;The means of exchange became superior to life itself. Life became subjugated to the means of exchange. One can…

Tax cuts for the "rich"

Does anyone remember the last time congress passed the tax cut bill, it was not popular as the Republicans had to put in the sun-setting clause and they needed Dick Cheeney to break the tie. Tax cuts…Continue

Good for goose good for gander

 Because of Citizens United Supreme Court decision basically justifyng corporations having individual rights- That is, the individual right to free speech - Then if they are deemed to have this individual freedom, it only follows that they must pay a tax rate at the individual effective rate and not corporate rate with only 15% for dividens etc. What is good for the gooses is good for the gander- Pay the Tax or shut up!See More

A straight line

  Language could be simple if it were not for the lies that have become necessary in a convoluted exploitative economic system. To be covert, sinister, hidden, shim-sham, shyster, sell a bill of goods, the brooklyn bridge if you will- to get over, to make it, to out wit and win over all lies inherent to Capitalism. What is wrong with people who expect politicians to not be capitalisits? Why is it people are confused about politicians taking advatage of their elected positions; as if they were…See More

Discrimination based on Wealth and Income: The health care debate

Regarding the Health Care Debate- Senator Harkin (D) Iowa spoke about discrimination based on health in relation to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. His argument concerned itself with some being placed in a high risk pool. He and President Obama articulated that this mechanism was basically unfair because the cost for insurance to those in this pool would be too expensive. This brings up an essential problem regarding not only Health Care but all human concerns within the…See More
