Free kibbles

ECONOMY:

147 corporations that control a significant portion of the world's wealth. This is an approximation of the world's ruling class. Because politicians advance their personal economic interests like everybody else, they sell the wealth and power they steal from us to the highest bidder.

Here's a good reminder that Republican leaders are no different than Democrat leaders.
"According to Business Insider, Paul-hater and Keynesian neocon David Frum is now saying: "It's Time We Republicans Finally Admitted That Paul Krugman Has Been Right.""
With supposed friends like these, who need enemies?

The US failed to make the list of the top ten countries in which to start a business.

The government was responsible for 71 percent of subprime loans. When you count the CRA and Fed policy and regulations, I'd say it's closer 100 percent.

The one percent is the state, not the capitalists. I think most of the super-rich, if not all, are part of the state. I don't think there's a billionaire in the world who didn't take advantage of government violence to make that much money.
"The state is the institution that essentially redefines criminal wrongdoing to make itself exempt from the law that governs everyone else."
That's a wonderfully succinct definition.

TAX AND SPEND:

Democrats call for Obama to ignore Congress and the Constitution and steal more people's money and use it to create jobs. It's like they don't realize he's already the most lawless president since Lincoln.

This plan to save money by abolishing paper dollars is hilarious.
"The move to a coin would cost money in the short term, but eventually save money because paper currency lasts about 42 months — while coins theoretically last forever. Moving to a coin could save $5.6 billion over 30 years, according to the Government Accountability Office."
My first thought is even paper money isn't worthless enough for government. My second is, given the federal budget is about $4 trillion a year, and these guys are debating reducing it by $5.6 billion over 30 years, we're screwed. That's like trying to empty the ocean one thimble at a time.

Remember when the so-called super-committee of twelve was going to meet in secret so they could work out a deal to cut the deficit? They meant secret from us, not the ruling the class. 200 lobbyists are swarming the secret meetings of the super-committee. Government never obeys laws. It just forces us to.

REGULATION:

Obama is forcing mortgage companies to refinance underwater mortgages. Mortgage companies employees, other than Fannie and Freddie which are owned by the government, can make the best decisions for their companies, not government.
"President Obama is planning to tout the expanded program during a visit with homeowners in hard-hit Nevada, as part of a new “We Can’t Wait” campaign."
Nevada is a swing state. He won it in 2008, and he's in danger of losing it in 2012. Obama is using other people's money to buy votes.

Here's a good reminder that it's not only federal regulations that are strangling our economy: Florida state government now requires interior designers obtain licenses.

EDUCATION:

Here's another example of how government corrupts everything it touches.
"The American Bar Association and 200 law schools it accredits are under growing pressure from Congress to quell complaints that colleges are misleading students about job prospects and saddling graduates with loans they can't afford to repay."
Government money produces lies, lies and more lies.

WAR:

Remember when all the talking heads told us that Muslims have to be buried within 24 hours of death after US forces reportedly killed Osama bin Laden? Apparently that was a load of bull to justify Obama covering up the real story. Qaddafi's body was displayed in a freezer for four days.

FOREIGN POLICY:

US government withdraws ambassador from Syria because of threats. John McCain threatens to invade Syria. There are never too many countries for John McCain to invade.

Islamist party wins in Tunisia.

POLITICS:

Counter-intuitively, Obama's threats against Wall Street continue to earn him more donations from Wall Street than all his Republican challengers combined. This is another example of how government perverts economic incentives. Wall Streeters are donating to the man who is working to wipe them out in hopes of convincing him not to. Apparently they don't realize Obama is a Marxist ideologue.

Obama's backers call on blacks to vote for him just because he's black. Can you imagine if somebody called on whites to vote for a candidate just because he's white?

The Occupiers continue to show modern Americans the evils of leftism. These people are digging another temporary grave for leftism. But like a classic horror villain, leftism will always come back to life and threaten us again.

Not too long ago, I explained the Alinsky, Obama, Occupier connection. Now conservative media is catching on.

I don't think that this criticism that Cain isn't doing things the establishment way is meaningful. People vote, not organizations.

MISC:

The Vatican joins with Gorbachev calling for one world government.

World population reaches seven billion.
