Have Americans gone mad?

All this recent discussion of "spreading the wealth around" seems maddening. The very people that it would help are some of its staunchest opponents. It's truly amazing that the propaganda industry can brainwash people into voting against their own interest.

to quote George Orwell's "1984":

"In the ramifications of party doctrine she had not the faintest interest. Whenever he began to talk of the principles of Ingsoc, doublethink, the mutability of the past, and the denial of objective reality, and to use Newspeak words, she became bored and confused and said that she never paid any attention to that kind of thing. One knew that it was all rubbish, so why let oneself be worried by it? She knew when to cheer and when to boo, and that was all one needed. If he persisted in talking of such subjects, she had a disconcerting habit of falling asleep." ... "Talking to her, he realized how easy it was to present an appearance of orthodoxy while having no grasp whatever of what orthodoxy meant. In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird."

The argument that a tax on business is a tax on workers is plausible. Let's take it to the extreme. Give everything to business and the top 1% and nothing to the workers. This, in essense, is the current Bush Neoliberal agenda. Tax heavily the bottom 99% and don't tax at all the top 1%. After all, the tax will be spread more evenly over the 99% and there are more of them. And, of course, the trickling down of the wealth from the 1% to the 99% will help everyone.

No one in his right mind would propose such a plan, yet that is in essense the Neoliberal agenda.

Look at the attached charts that shows distribution of wealth and population.

People of the world, Unite! Take back what is rightfully yours. You have been brainwashed into believing that this is the way it has to be; that you are powerless. Nothing can be further from the truth. Imagine a battle of 6 billion vs. a handful of rockefeller/rothschild types. I don't care how many nuclear weapons they think they have, if there is no wage slave to man them, they are powerless. How do they rule you? By stealth and secrecy. You don't know that they are there. They own all the banks. You are trapped in debt and wage slavery until you die. Do you ever wonder why the debt collector can spend a fortune collecting an original debt of $12.50. The answer is the debt collector is not making money, he is teaching you to live in fear, reminding you that you owe that $12.50 for the rest of your life, distracting you from the real issues.
