President Obama's Simulus Package And Class Warfare
President Obama’s Stimulus Package and Class Warfare
It just became obvious to me that President Obama’s stimulus package has raised the issue of class warfare in the United States of America. Let me share with you some figures from a study done by the Congressional Budget Office. I wish the figures were more up to date but with Regan’s and both Bushes tax cuts for the rich the disparity is probably worse. Check it out.
In 1948 the rich, millionaires, paid 76.9% of the federal tax income, while in the same year the poorest of the poor paid 5.3%. If we fast forward to 1989 we find the rich, millionaires, paid 26.4% of the federal tax income, while the poorest of the poor paid 24.4%. This means the rich’s taxes went down while the poor’s taxes went up. My God, WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!
Now we find the rich, the people on Wall Street, The CEO’s of banks, AIG, Rush Limbaugh, etc. want to continue the trend of taxing the poor more than the country taxes the rich. This is the class war that is being waged. The sides of the war are the poor versus the rich. If you are for the rich than you promote the rich getting richer by cutting their taxes under the auspices that cutting the rich’s taxes will make them be more within the entrepreneurial spirit, because the rich has more capitol they will risk some money on a business adventure, provide jobs for the poor and therefore stimulate the economy. If you are for the poor then you support increasing the taxes on the rich, and using the money to relieve the economic oppression that is disproportionately being shouldered by the poor. For a Christian this should be a no brainer. Jesus was for the least of these. So how in the heaven, I said heaven I’m looking up, so how in the heaven does so-called rich Christians like Rush Limbaugh and Dawn support lowering taxes on the rich while the income is made up by increasing the taxes on the poor? What kind of Christianity is that? Is this definition of so-called Conservative Christianity? Jesus must not have been a conservative. He championed the least of these, not the rich. Being rich is not a sin. Getting rich at the expense of the poor is avarice and strictly forbidden. Let’s look at the sinful rich’s logic.
Listen to the argument made by David Leonhardt who is the economics columnist for the New York Times. He states that “your taxes are going up.” Old Dave goes on to say that there is room for such an increase, and it more than likely won’t hurt economic growth. He says that “despite all the scary stories you’ve heard, the evidence that higher taxes necessarily cripple an economy is somewhere between thin and nonexistent.” Now I was with ol’ Dave until this next point. Ol’ Dave says that “the problem can’t be solved just by taxing the rich.” That top 1 percent pays only about one quarter of federal taxes. So the tax increases will have to spread more widely.” Ol’ Dave is basically saying that if you are going to raise the taxes on the rich then you got to also raise the taxes on the poor. This is the slick tongue of the rich arguing to take from the poor if you must take from the rich. The rich is in a much better position to take the hit, but Dave is arguing that out of fairness the poor must pay like the rich. Dave, that’s not fair. A dime from the last dollar of the poor is not the same dollar from the millions of dollars of the rich. Stop it!!
Mayor Bloomberg of New York City is not much better. He says “New York needs its wealthiest taxpayers, as one percent of residents with incomes of at least $500,000 a year pay nearly half of the city's income taxes.” And in my opinion, it is rightfully so. When one looks at the 2002 income figures according to United States Distribution Of Income: Conventional Census Bureau statistics we find that nationally 20% of the population made 49.7% of the income. If the rich is making almost 50% of the income then they should pay almost 50% of the income taxes. You must understanding that income is just the money made over the course of a year. Wealth is money and property that one had while making the income. If the wealth is included in the income analysis then we will find that the rich is much wealthier than the poor. The rich control more than 50% of the wealth. If the country does not stop the rich from getting richer then the country will find itself in the same situation that it finds itself with AIG. What do I mean?
Folks in Washington, including President Obama, tell us that AIG is so large financially that it would be too devastating upon the economy to let the giant fail. They speculate that if AIG was allowed to fail then it would not only take down the U.S. economy but would in essence have a devastating negative effect on the world’s economy. I don’t think President Obama would intentionally mislead us about the situation. I don’t know about the rest of them, but right now President Obama has given me nothing to believe that he is not an honest man. Understanding we all fall short, therefore he is going to make some mistakes, but I don’t think that he will intentionally mislead us as I feel the former administration misled and deceived the American people. Y’all do remember going to war for never found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, don’t y’all. That policy decision just felt, and still feels like deception to me. I just don’t think that President Obama would do that.
Before I get accused of being a blue blood Democrat let me say there are some things on which President Obama and I disagree. I think that he should remove all troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. The money spent on those two wars will be a good savings to help turn around the American economy. That being said, even though we disagree, I still trust him because he did not deceive me into thinking one thing while the truth was another thing. I disagree but trust. That being said I better also let you know that I also am not a diehard Republican. Y’all should understand pure and simple that I am a Christian who is trying to do the right thing through following the example of Jesus the Christ. That being said let me get back to the economy and the solution to the fat cats getting fatter.
President Obama has publicly stated that "The status quo is the one option that is not on the table." He was speaking in terms of healthcare but I believe his statement should apply across the board. America can’t continue to do business where the taxes on the poor increase and the taxes on the rich decrease. President Obama must push for a limit on business wealth so that the laws of economics can apply to industry as it applies to the little people. Business cannot be allowed to get so big that it can’t be allowed to fail. If businesses make bad business decisions than business must suffer the consequences of its decisions.
Rush and the bunch believe that decreasing the tax on the rich and increasing the taxes on the poor is the way to stimulate the economy and kick start growth. Because of his position I can see why Rush Limbaugh is less popular than Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Rev. Wright is a liberation theologist, Rush is a liberate cash from the poor economist. In actuality Rev. Wright in his liberation theology said, rather harshly, that the rich cannot continue to get richer by getting tax breaks while the poor get poorer because of tax increases. If there is a choice, then increase the taxes on the rich, and decrease the taxes on the poor. Lincoln ignored his racist leanings and ended slavery because to do so was in the interest of saving the Union. President Lyndon Johnson did not want to sign the 1964 Voting Rights Act but did so because he knew it would save the Union. Now the rich must follow the legacy of these two great men and temper their desire for wealth because to do so is in the interest of saving the Union. It is what Jesus would have good Christians to do. Thank you for listening to AjabuSpeaks.

Dear Rev, Ajabu ,
Please see , www.discussrace.com
Thank you - Peace.
Dear Minister Ajabu,
You have hit the nail on the head! What we are witnessing is class warfare. The rich vs. the poor. At long last, the President of this country is siding with the poor and opposing the rich. Fortunately, the greed of the rich has impacted the majority (white and black) of people in this country. Both now realize that race is and always has been a red herring designed to distract people from the real crooks.
Dismantling the status quo is exactly what President Obama is all about. Thus far, he has moved swiftly and decisively to fulfill his campaign promises. As he goes about his business of trying to save this country and right some wrongs, American mass media (controlled by the wealthy) will continue to hammer at his policy changes. The TV stations and newspapers are not owned by the poor. The whining and crying we hear is that of the richest and most powerful among us. Those who are expert at buying access to government and having government pass legislation that favors the rich and cripples the poor.
This barrage of propaganda must be countered by the people networking and communicating with one another via sites like yours, my brother. I beg you to stay the course and unrelentingly call a spade a spade. Challenge us to think, to weigh, to meditate and to take action in our own behalf.
Yes, America is going through a revolution. But this time, hopefully, it will be a bloodless revolution bringing into being a new America. An America where all of it's people can prosper and earn a living wage, instead of the systematic greed and selfishness of the wealthy. Since America is being bailed out with taxpayer dollars, we have the opportunity to take back control of our government. It's our money and we should have a say as to how it will be spent. It's our government and we must have a say as to which laws are fair and which are not fair. The power is truly in the hands of the people.
However, this revolution puts our President in the middle of the bullseye. He is a target of the wealthy, the ignorant, the race hater, the domestic terrorist, etc. May we pray for his safety and that of his family. May we pray for one another as we speak out against tyranny and oppression as you have.
Please continue to keep us thinking, hoping and acting to make this nation into a new nation of opportunity for all. Peace and God bless your efforts, my brother.
Rev, Ajabu- you don't even show us a link to show us what numbers you are using?? Show us the numbers...
Maybe these will help you.
http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes/
These are the numbers from the CBO. Your claims don't even make sense when you look at the numbers. Did you get these numbers from John Marshall? He usually is full of bogus "facts".
Who is perpetuating class warfare??? Look in the mirror.
Sadly on your blog- those in America who try to produce jobs, put to work money they have saved rather than spend it on a new car, and try to be good citizens by investing in this country-- are the enemy????
I am amazed when I hear "He used his ingenuity and creativity to make too much money, that is unfair, he is evil and rich"-- do you sing that song to Barbara Striesand??
Again- your one-sided belly -up to the bar of "we are victims" and "gimme your money you made, I deserve it, cause you stole it from me even though I didnt have any, cause I spent it on new gators" argument-- is made with NO PROOF TO BACK IT UP.
I guess I am rich- please tell me how to make money off the poor, I guess there is alot of you, but since you don't have any money I don't go out and look for a product to sell to poor people...so am I ignoring the poor? I donate to charity, tithe, and give blood, and unlike most of Obama's cabinet nominee's I also pay my taxes....
Why can't people like people like Charlie Rangel, Tim Geithner pay their taxes??.... I guess technically the POOR pay more than Charlie Rangel , and Tim Gethner do in taxes. Is that fair?? I am betting most Obama voter's don't even know who these clowns are.
Rev. Ajabu- Is this "class warfare" message about Increaing the love, and decreasing the hate"??? I am beginning to think that whole line- is just a meaningless slogan.
Looks to me like you really hate the rich, white people who vote Republican, and anyone who wants to keep the money they earn- why don't you just come out and write what you really mean...???
Wait until you find out how much money you and your fellow victims will be getting stiffed for thanks to Obama's new "budget"
Maybe check your facts next column you write.
The top 1% of earners in this country pay about 20% of the taxe burden. The top 20% pay nearly 80% of the burden. The bottom 20% collectively pay under 10%- most pay none.
Again- another rant, without facts.
The giant business lobby in Congress in and the Legislatures have stolen our democracy. The few have managed to steal our votes by favors and money. When we look at each elected official to see where their donations have come from we will better understand just how perverted our democracy has become.
Follow the money. Many Democrats are in this same rickity boat.
President Obama understands this. That is why the very rich are screaming bloody murder.
The small business sector have created the jobs and the taxes to keep this country afloat for decades. That is the sector that requires support.
The super rich have sent their money off shore to take advantage of the tax breaks of the George W. Bush Administration.
We can thank that good old boy for one thing...he showed us how not to act. Each policy, foreign and domestic of that tyrant has diminished our potential for a free and safe America.
Our hope for America is that President Obama can tame the military industrial congressional complex.
Bring our troops home from the 130+ nations around the world located in permanent military bases and find jobs for them in healing our bodies, environment, educational system, transportation system, small business sector, peacemaking and every other benign human endeaver and we will once again realize the great American Dream.
The opportunity to heal this country and the world is directly related to ending our global empire. Every empire in history has failed for exactly the same reason...internal corruption, external opposition and economic collapse.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King said it best; "The United States of America is the largest purveyor of violence in the world".
Carl Rising-Moore
Jayson,
The below statistics comes from the 2002 Census Report. I hope it helps you. I will answer your offering more fully. Today I am just running. I will be baaack!!
Carl and Dave I will also respond to you.
In that year, the Census reported that the top or most affluent quintile had 49.7 percent of income, while the bottom quintile had only 3.5 percent. Thus, the top fifth of households is shown to have 14.3 times more income than the bottom fifth.5
The Loss of Tax Progressivity
Effective Family Federal Tax Rate (Income and FICA)1
Year Median Millionaire or Top 1%
1948 5.3% 76.9%
1955 9.1 85.5
1960 12.4 85.5
1965 11.6 66.9
1970 16.1 68.6
1975 20.0 --
1977 -- 35.5
1980 23.7 31.7
1985 24.4 24.9
1989 24.4 26.7
Total Effective Tax Rates for All Families (Federal Income and Payroll Taxes)2
Quintile 1980 1985 1990 % change 1980-90
Lowest 20% 8.4% 10.6 9.7 16.1%
Second 20% 15.7 16.1 16.7 6.0
Third 20% 20.0 19.3 20.3 1.2
Fourth 20% 23.0 21.7 22.5 -2.2
Highest 20% 27.3 24.0 25.8 -5.5
Top 1% 31.8 24.9 27.2 -14.4
The above chart shows that tax rates were cut for the rich and raised on the poor.
Jayson,
I don't think it is a question of whether I hate rich white people. I haven't said that, and really don't want that. What I hate is any rich person, no matter what ethnicity, to continue to take advantage of the poor. I really support these economic giants having to weather the repercussions of their decisions. However, the government, including President Obama, feel that the economy can't stand the weight of these economic giants failing. Unfortunately, they might have a point. Therefore, the government wants to infuse money into the economy to make it get going again. I am just saying that if the government is going to spend money to jump start the economy then spend it with the least of these, not the fat cats. And in the future, put a limit on the size to which a corporation can grow. Don't let them get so big that the economy can't stand for them to fail. The laws of economics must apply to all no matter how big one gets. Again, the question is not whether I hate rich white people. A better question is do they, and you love yourself. Do you love the Union to where you will not choose your greed as being more important than the survival of the Union. That is the question. The survival of the nation rests with your answer. Yes, we must increase the love, and decrease the hate. Although this phrase is made up of words, you better believe it is also a necessary reality. God bless you.
Dave,
I just looked at your website. Very impressive, however, what's your point?
Rev. Ajubu-
Who is waging "class warfare"? It is you Rev. Ajabu. ..and again you use some incomplete numbers to make your very lame case.
Define "Fair share" of taxes for the rich?? 40%, 50%, 90%??
http://kipesquire.powerblogs.com/files/kipesquire-UItaxes.JPG
Here's the 2007 Urban-Brookings Institute (a pretty liberal joint so you shouldn't have an issue with these) numbers on Average Effective Tax rates under current law. Your numbers are a little stale being 20- years old!!!!!!!!
The bottom quintile "POOR" pays 3.4% ...
..and the top 1% pays 30.4% off all Federal Taxes--- How much more "progressive to you want to get?????
Effectively, the "poor" don't pay any taxes.
Maybe you would like to be more specific and define "Poor". and I hope you mean the really poor who don't have a satellite dish and a plasma screen. The "Poor" are actually alot "richer" than they were nearly 20 years ago.
Funny how you worry about the "rich" who already pay more taxes than any other segment of the population--- and you could care less about the MASSIVE GOVERNMENT Spending under OBAMA which is INSANELY out of control.
He just single-handedly (of course, while being collared by Nancy Pelosi) increased our national debt by an exponential amount that will affect the "POOR" for DECADES. ..and you stood by and approved it....remember it when the waves of inflation start to smack the "poor" in the hindside.
Have you ever considered how many jobs the "rich" create?? Also the same "rich" people now- just might have been "poor" in 1989-- I know in 1989- I was poor!! I made 13K that year! So now I really screw up your "Poor" argument- because you assume the "poor" in 1989- stayed poor!! Ooops!- Sorry to blow that for you! An amazing amount of "poor"- did very well for themselves in the last 10 years.
...and now You're hallucinating about "capping" the size of private companies that create jobs-- that is nuts!!!!
WHY DON"T YOU ADVOCATE ---THE CAPPING of THE GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING???????- that creates NO JOBS EVER!
But that's probably not on your agenda....you've got to demonize a segment of the population so you Sir can wage class-warfare, and legitimize yourself.
Rev. Ajabu- your argument rings even more hollow when you add in the Property Taxes, State taxes, and Local taxes that the evil "rich" pay.
You Rev. Ajabu, and the liberal elite like you- WAGE CLASS WARFARE, for the most SINISTER of reasons- it gives you POWER.....but it doesn't fool all of us.
Jayson Jayson
The rich in America are not asking for tax cuts. It is usually these Southern Confederate Republicans who [are not rich] that cry on behalf of the wealthy so passionately. When Clinton made the rich pay some taxes and created the greatest economy in modern times, none of the rich were complaining.
Then George Bush comes in as president and immediately cut taxes on the richest 2% of Americans and the great economic decline began. That was not enough, this idiot started two wars and continued to cut taxes. We had to borrow the money to finance the wars that he started illegally. We are spending $Billions to fight those stupid wars.
Jayson, whenever you ask the rich, they say that they do not need the tax cuts. So, why are you so bent out of shape and desperate for those rich people to have a break. Is it because they are already paying the bulk of the taxes? Bless your heart.
You like statistics and facts, why don't you ask some of the Billionaires if they are upset because they have to pay taxes. Remember, Bush cut taxes on the rich who were not complaining under Clinton. But it is only the Republicans and Southern Democrats who were so concerned about the amount of taxes the rich was paying. You love to emphasize that the poor do not pay taxes.
Lets take a look at the poor! Check out the number of women who work in fast food restaurants for minimum wage or less and they still have taxes taken out. They pay taxes on food items and other basic goods. They have to feed their children and try and make it. These poor people are cleaning the behinds of these same rich people and the poor can't afford to get sick. They do what the rich would never do. So if the big boys make $Billions, they need to pay their share and more.
Any decent Christian or Muslim can see the wisdom of making those who are able take on more of the load than the weak and those who are unable. It is so cruel and cold to be so preoccupied with the needs of the rich and have almost total disdain for the poor and needy. Be careful Jayson,we never know when the tables will turn on us.
Sen Fritz Hollings [a sensible Southern Democrat] put it so wisely,"Somebody has to pay the bills and it has to be the ones with the greatest wealth." What sense does it make to cut taxes which decreases our revenue and then go borrow the money we need from China, Japan, South Korea, etc.
Finally, the rich can pay even more since Bush cut their taxes and they have been shipping those windfall dollars to Switzerland. Wake up Jayson and stop trying to save the richest Americans because if they cared about you and the rest of us, then they would refuse these wasteful tax cuts.
Jayson, Jayson,
Why is your heart so harden? You want to trounce the poor in order to preserve the rich. Let me be clear; there is nothing wrong with being rich, just don't continue to enhance your richness at the expense of the poor!! This is what you are advocating. Now let me share a little fact that you can learn from another rich person.
I am going to say this because he has publicly said it himself. John Marshall is a multi-millionair. The position he is taking is a rich person that has a heart for the poor. You can learn to have a lot of compassion for the least of these from that man. Do me and he sometimes disagree? You bet. Do I have great love for that man? You bet. Am I mad at that man because he is rich? No way. If he is rich and I love him then that begs the question why? I love him because he is honest, has integrity, and in his richness provides for the poor and attempts to do what's best for the country. You can learn a lot from John Marshall. Jayson, quit advocating for the rich and supporting stepping on the poor!! Just quit it! If you are a Christian, and believe in following the path that Jesus showe us, then you should use your wealth to help uplift the least of these. At the very least you should advocate for the least of these. It is truly what Jesus would have you to do. Following the steps of the Son will lead your path straight to the Father. I pray that i amd communicating. God bless.
Rev,. Ajabu-
You don't fool me...we know what you really want- to wage war on those of use WHO are NOT MILLIONAIRES, and take what we have earned and saved and give it to someone else who you liberals see fit to give it to, so you can buy their votes. Taxing Billionaires and Millionaires won't accomplish what you want.
....and John Marshall- Instead of using the B.S. weak "Southern Confederate Republicans" label -- just say what you mean like "racist white crackers" or something. Man up.
Rev. Ajabu- I know You have to start somewhere so you use the word "Rich"- without definition, or even "Millionaire" to cover everyone who has some savings or who is a property owner.
Please TELL ME HOW we did this at the expense of the poor???? Be specific- on how we take the poor's money and steal it from them. I'd really like to know.
But we have made our livings working and living responsibly, and saving our money, and investing in our community, and creating jobs, and being good citizens- and YES- supporting charities, and giving DIRECTLY BY OUR OWN CHOICE TO AGENCIES THAT DIRECTLY HELP THE POOR- BY OUR OWN CHOICE rather than see our money wasted by Government- Gee, I give the Government $1.00 and then barely get 11 cents back in effect. Gov't effectively wastes an incredible amount of money.
YOU DON"T FOOL ME FOR A MINUTE.
It's not just millionaires you want to tax-- you want to tax anyone with savings and retirement plan, or anyone who has acculmulated any assets- and TAKE WHAT IS NOT YOURS AND GIVE IT AWAY for redistribution. You want to give it away to people who spend more than they make, live irresponsibly, and don't want to invest in their own success. and to buy power.
Look at what Illinois is about to do- raise state income taxes by 50% of those making $58,000 per year. See how the bar keeps getting lower and lower.
You don't fool me Reverend. You liberals want to divide us all up into classes by how much we make, the color of our skin, and what hangs down between our legs- and pit us against each other. Look at any "Socialist, Marxist" regime- its just what they have done.
It rather stinks you do this with the desguise of a holy man, and under the auspices of a "Church".
You want "warfare"- Rev. you are advocating it, and you just might get what you wish for.
If you don't recall we had a major revolution in the country over taxes. Don't think for a minute it can't happen again.
Rev. Ajabu- more Love, less hate- and advocating class warfare at every chance he gets. Amazing.
Jason,
Again I ask: Why is your heart so harden? Where is your compassion for the least of these? Look my friend, my position is very simple. If money is to be given by the government to kick start the economy then the money should be given from the ground up. If money is to be given away but the government give it to the consumer not the banks. Let the money trickle up not down. Dennis Kucinish, and I don't think I spelled his name correctly, but you keep up, you know who I am writing about, Dennis Kucinish just exposed that this congressional committed has found out that the last monies of the stimulus package given to the banks was sent overseas!! The money was not used to lend to people. Most of the money cannot even be accounted for. My God, if that money was given to the least of these then the money would be accounted for, because the economy would be booming, the fat cats would be getting fatter off of the profit made from the consumption and we would be headed out of the crisis in which the country now finds itself. This is beginning to happen now. The stock market found new life this past week. This next week it may go down, but we know from this past week all is not lost. The car industry is doing better so they say they won't need more bailout money from the government. Jayson, there is nothing sinister about my wishes. I am not mad at you or anyone else that has riches. Statistics show that the taxes for the least of these went up while the taxes for the more affluent went down. This is not fair. This is not Christian like. If there has to be tax increases then tax those that have more money, not those that have less money. This is just income. I won't go into wealth because the discrepancy between the wealthy and the least of these is even greater than the discrepancy between income. Let me give you an example of how the rich became rich off of those who had less.
Barnard Madoff just went to jail for a scheme where he took the money of people and made himself rich. Granted, some of those people that got ripped were pretty wealthy. However, I bet his victims income pales in comparison to the $65 Billion that Bernie stole. Is Bernie going to give back the wealth that he stole. No!! He is going to take the fall so his family does not want for anything. His desire to take care of his family may be politically and culturally correct but his method of doing so is morally wrong. What we do can not be in no way correct if it is morally wrong!!
My conclusion from this example is to take from the least of these at a rising rate while taking from the more affluent at a lower tax rate maybe politically legal but it is morally wrong. If money is going to be given away by the government give it to the least of these and not the fat cats. If you are a fat cat, I ain't mad at you. I am saying because you are more affluent then your contribution to the country should be greater than those who are less affluent, not only in amount, but also in percentage. I hope I am clear. I am not mad at you or anyone else. I am just a champion for the least of these. I am showing you, through the example of John Marshall, how an affluent person can still have compassion for the least of these. To have compassion for the least of these is to make God's will exist on earth as it does in heaven. God bless.
Rev and Jayson
That was some of your best writing Rev Ajabu. You poured your heart out to cold hearted Jayson who is not trying to understand how the rich got rich.
Lets go back to Slavery. We Blacks were brought over to America and we worked for nothing. We were at the barrel of a gun and a whip. We worked from can't see morning to can't see night.
Can you imagine how much profit a slave owner could make if he does not pay the workers. That is how so many got rich in America, off of the free labor of Black people.
Our people have never recovered from the days of slavery and we have been made poor. We are going to rise up to the top one day but those who got rich off of us will have to pay.
There are many multimillionaires who have given back to make up for the devastation of Blacks in America. But for Jayson to rant and rave as if every poor person is intentionally poor is foolish.
After the slaves were freed, we were left with the ruthless former slave owners who killed and raped our people like dogs. They enslaved them again with sharecropping and racist segregation laws that has left us in perpetual poverty.
Jayson thinks that we started from a level playing field. You need to walk in our shoes. I can't explain why so many Whites are on welfare and living in poverty but they too deserve some help.
If you leave it to Jayson, every poor person is in that condition by their own actions. You need to open your eyes and see how cut throat this system is in America. Even the hard working Blacks and Whites are faced with more hardship because of Republican George Bush. He has wrecked this county's economy so badly that even the rich are in danger of falling into poverty.
You have the nerve to defend the worst president and his Republican Congress that walked in lock step with this ignorant idiot. Now, look at us, struggling to get from under George Bush's mess. You cannot continue to defend this idiot. Something has to be wrong with you.
Bush did all he could to cut taxes for the rich and brought the house down. Those who are rich and care about America should have tried to stop this fool but no; they raked in all that they could and to hell with the rest of America.
I could care less whether Jayson understands what we have been trying to tell him but it could hit his door and that is when he will get it. Can you imagine anybody in his right mind defending these greedy rich blood suckers of the poor. Maybe Jayson is one of them.
Hey John Marshall-
You obviously can't read or don't care to understand cause your so filled with hate it's makes you stupid.
John- your mind is filled with the sludge of the ignorant, you only drink the liberal kool-aid-- I haven' t heard ONE SINGLE original thought come out of your head or backed up by any facts- You still think we have 22 million starving here in AMERICA. YOU STILL HAVENT SHOWN ME THE BODIES.
-just want liberals want. You hate anybody white with more than pocket change on them.
To you I am a greedy rich white racist bastard. To me I am a single Dad, who is tired of having the Gov't in my pocket all the time- only to waste my tax dollars--- we've wasted BILLIONS thanks to Liberalism,
WHAT I AM SAYING IS --- WE who are responsible average Americans ARE PAYING ENOUGH!
and "WE"-- means those of us who are NOT MULTI-MILLIONAIRES. WE Know you want our (non-multimillionaires) money.
And ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
Plenty of average responsible Americans are tired of being labled "The enemy" and you saying WE ARENT TAXED ENOUGH by Elitist Liberals" like Yousrelf and John Marshall. Despite the fact we help the poor, give to charities, and obey the laws of our land , and live responsible lives- and yes, BE Dads to our children.
Then we watch you go fund CORRUPT Organizations like ACORN with $500 million dollars, of OUR TAX MONEY. We are tired of your BULLSHIT John.
I wasn't defending millionaires, "wishing any poor people would die"- or whatever drivel your warped-racist mind makes up.
Unlike you-- I am not a multi-millioniare-- I KNOW HOW YOU LIBERALS THINK- You don't just want the millionaires money-you want the rest of ours as well.
Rev. Ajabu- the Gov't takes more than it's fair share from those of us who live responsibly BUT AREN'T MULTI-MILLIONAIRES and wastes even more-- and you and John Marshall ( who is so jacked-up into thinking these problems started just 8 years ago)
And Geez John, get rid of the lame Victim of Slavery " argument, you weren't a slave, but I am sorry if your ancestors were rounded up by your fellow men in Africa to be put on slave ships. Maybe your beef is back across the sea with their relatives. Funny how many years go by and the "black slavery" argument is played again, and again- every other minority seems to have their struggles as well- but they rise above it. You use it just to profligate your "VICTIM MENTALITY" on a daily basis.
Hell of a way to be a leader John.
And John MArshall- why don't you go into more detail about what's "going to hit my door, and that is when I am going to get it"......???????
I am listening John....
Wow, the messages of love here Ajabu are amazing- You can thank yourself for it.
