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…

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!

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…

Let Love

Okay what shall we do to get a sing along going? Who wants to start the song? Let me try since everyone is so shy. "Born down in a dead man's town, the first kick I got was when I hit the ground, end up like a dog that's been beaten too much till you spend half your life just covering up" Born in the USA.

 

Is this a good song? How about one from Paul Simon? "Many the times I've been mistaken and many times confused and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused, but I'm…

Tax Cuts

Regarding the Federal government- there is not a spending problem, there is a revenue problem.

 

Now that the rich received an extension of the tax cuts- Democrats must constatnly ask:

 

Where are the jobs? The living wage jobs? Now that the doubt of whether or not Tax Cuts would be extended is gone.

 

Where are the living wage jobs?- if they don't come soon - bye bye tax cuts.

TAX CUTS JOBS

Now that the Republican's have been granted their "tax-cut" for the rich, please all democrats constantly on all forms of media remind them of the following:WHERE ARE THE NEW JOBS RICH PEOPLE HAVE CREATED?

WHERE ARE THE NEW JOBS ONLY RICH PEOPLE CAN CREATE? WHERE ARE THE NEW JOBS THAT RICH PEOPLE CREATE?

 

You see the problem is not that there is too much spending, the problem is that those making billions do not pay enormous taxes and they should.

 

SO…

Yesterday’s attack on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (Ariz – D) rings the same anarchist toll as many other recent circumstances of violent demonstration.

A joyful path to criticism

There are many ways to apprehend the abuses our economic system inflicts upon all of us. One way will be explored as I discuss the feelings most American people place upon leisure and idleness. I will borrow much from the 19th century Philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche; in fact I will paraphrase from his aphorism named, "Leisure and idleness."

There is something of the American lust for gold and the breathless haste with which we work for monetary gain,…

Best Sellers

From Fredich Nietzsche:

It also ends.

Well, Well, Well- John Is Back! What have all of you been doing of late? Has the absurdity of meaning brought to you from mediated commercial interest been continuing to let you down? Don't fear here is a hopeful admonition. Just remember the following:

" The good thing about Capitalism is that it too shall pass."

Something ventured, something gained

By Daniel B. Kline

The tears came without warning the next morning while alone in my car. I wasn’t sobbing and my expression was somewhere between a grin and disbelief, but tears were trickling down my cheeks.



Only on television did people quit their jobs because they felt unfulfilled as an artist and have it actually work out. Most people who walk away from paying gigs to become singers, artists, or in my case, writers, end up penniless and begging for their old job back… Continue

Follow me in 140 characters or less

By Daniel B. Kline

No matter how many times I click “unfollow,” Twitter insists on subscribing me to the feed of “Diddy.” Though I’ll always think of him as “Puff Daddy,” or perhaps “Puffy,” I prefer not to think of the rapper/producer/huckster all that often and I most certainly don’t need to know what he’s doing on a minute-by-minute basis.



Mr. Diddy, through his @Diddy Twitter feed mixes inane bragging about his whereabouts “heading to the party with @SouljaBoy,” with… Continue

Populism is easy, ideas are hard

By Daniel B. Kline

At every turn Sarah Palin moves farther away from being an actual politician and more towards being a Rush Limbaugh/Bill O’Reilly-style populist ideologue. Whether she’s appearing at a Tea Party rally or speaking out in favor of Arizona’s “show me your papers” immigration law, she has become a master of preaching to the converted.



Becoming popular by vehemently agreeing with one group while portraying another group as out to get them – or better yet out… Continue
