Troubel ahead for the American middle class

I have for many years now, been warning of the age old battle between the super rich and the middle class. Only in the usa during the 19th and 20th century, did the middle class win that battle. During the 19th and 20th century in the usa the power of the super wealthy was curtailed. Government enacted laws that protected the middle class and encouraged exspandsion of the middle class.
Anti-trust laws prevented the super rich from gaining control over entire industries. Today these laws are ignored. Labor laws enabled workers to bargain for a living wage. Today these laws are ignored. Trade laws protected American manurfacturs and labor from unfair foreign competition. Today these laws are ignored.
The super wealthy gained control of the government via lobbyists arguing corporate interests over middle class interests.
Also interesting to note that the poor class always sides with the super rich, since the super rich give the poor bread and circus.
Why do the super always fear the middle class? Because a middle class can threaten the interests of the rich. A middle class that has it own means of generating wealth is not dependent on the rich, it's a wild card that might very well sack the rich.
Ever wonder why the wealth generating machines of the usa (manufacturing) are being moved overseas? Wonder no more, the rich want to break the back of the American middle class by taking away the middle classes ability to generate wealth. Ever wonder why the rich want to flood the usa with uneducated poor from totarian nations? Wonder one more, these people will be the hammer that will enforce the policies the rich (government) want enforced. Publicly objects to government policies like bilingualism or immigration or entitlements for the poor and you will get your ass kicked by the "new" Americans.
This is what is happening, the global monied elites do not give a damn about the usa or it citizens. The global monied elite in control of our government see the uppity American middle class and it quaint Constitution as a threat. We that believe in the Constitution, G*d and the rule of Constitutional law are about to be made extinct so that the world will be a safe place for the elite families of the world and thier coporate/government servants.
"they deserve at least one congressional house flipping to the Dems."
You absolute fool. I'll make sure to remember this post when the libs take over and push through REAL amnesty for illegals, gay marriage, liberal federal court judges, higher taxes, and capitulation in the war on terror.
By the way, this latest assault from the libs (divide and conquer from within by fomenting discontent and pretending to be disaffected conservatives) is by far the most effective, and insidious.
How many FReepers are smart enough to recognize it? Judging from your post, not many.
and just so you understand. The faggots in the elite media ride the coat tails of the super rich like lizards basking on the walls of the high haciendas.
Glad to hear you understood at least half of it.
If anyone is a fool, it would be the person totally ignoring Jim Robinson's admonitions against personal attacks. Of course, what would one expect from someone who has a god complex.
Since you're no rocket scientist, let me explain this in simple terms. Flipping one congressional house to the Dems for two years gets none of the above accomplished when the other house and the President are Republican. Thank you for playing. Try again when you have a clue as to the checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches.
A parade of imaginary horribles is no basis on which to cast one's vote...although you're certainly trying to scare FReepers into believing it.
And how, pray tell, do you mean to control which house of congress flips? If you "disenchanted conservatives" do stay home in 2006, what's to stop us from losing both houses?
Even if you could engineer a single house flipping, which one would you choose? Giving the libs control of either house would be an unmitigated disaster for legislation and the president's agenda, most of which is a HUGE SUCCESS FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Have you ever heard of the phrase "going from the frying pan to the fire?" What do you think will happen when you eliminate Republicans because they're not conservative enough for you, knowing full well that they will be replaced by Democrats, who are far more liberal?
You are MUCH closer to REAL amnesty for illegals, gay marriage, liberal federal court judges, higher taxes, and capitulation in the war on terror if the libs take over one house, let alone both. What part of that don't you understand?
Also, did you view the 8 years of Bill Clinton as a "parade of imaginary horribles"? I know that I didn't.
Giving the Dems a slim majority in the House would benefit the GOP on several fronts.
1. It wouldn't affect judicial confirmations (done by the Senate).
2. The GOP would get a wake-up call...particularly the RINOs who appropriate like Dems.
3. President Bush might find his veto pen and use it on runaway spending.
4. The Dems would overplay their hand in the House by talking impeachment, etc...giving the GOP something to run against from the right in '08.
5. As for controlling which house flips, the current makeup is such that it is much easier for the House to change hands than the Senate. There'd have to be a successful WMD attack on the U.S. for both to flip hands...and in such case, the GOP would deserve it for playing fast and loose with border security.
6. As for your other post, Bill Clinton's presidency is irrelevant to this topic. The Dems with a slim majority in the House is not the same thing as a corrupt Dem President.
Delusionary nonsense of the highest order. Devoid of understanding history, or economics but perfectly fine for the paranoid conspiracy freaks.
I understand that you are clueless in every important issue.
Jim Robinson says "he will crawl through broken glass to prevent these monsters from regaining power." Foolish posts that encourage political suicide help no conservative goal.
so you are flaking for the federales.
even the mexican leftists get it.

Immigration is Mexico's disgrace: leftist candidate
By Alistair Bell Tue May 16, 12:17 PM ET
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Illegal immigration to the United States is "Mexico's disgrace," caused by the government's failure to create enough jobs, the country's leftist presidential candidate said on Tuesday.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who trails conservative Felipe Calderon in polls ahead of July 2 elections, accused President
Vicente Fox's administration of causing the flight of millions of Mexicans to the north, which prompted
President Bush to order National Guard troops to the border.
"They are the ones mostly responsible for what is going on because there is no employment, there are no jobs in Mexico so people need to emigrate," Lopez Obrador said on his morning television show."
