Subterfuge and Its Discontents. Or, The Sound of My Fingernails Grating Against the Chalkboard of Your Mind.
One of the problems with having spent decades studying politics, from both sides (I was a faithful Democrat until about the age of 40) tends to be this one quandary—the truth, whatever the-hell it might actually be—is as rare as a truly honest man or a perfect work of art.
Let’s take taxes, for instance; the idea that the rich don’t pay their fair share is inglorious bullshit. The rich and the well-to do pay nearly all income taxes, create all of the jobs, create all the wealth, which enables us poor folk to rise above our poverty. The only people who don’t know this, are children and liberals (is there a difference?)
Let me clarify, most liberal politicians know this, all too well. They, however, don’t think that their faithful constituents do. Which, they probably don’t. So, as the result of their constituent’s faithful ignorance, these same politicians can now lie through their teeth with impunity, and get away, Scott free, while being applauded.
What could be better than picking someones pocket and getting thanked for it?
Don’t get me wrong, Conservatives are lying sacks of dung, as well. Such is the true nature of politics.
Here’s a simple example; the top 1% of all wage earners, pay nearly 40% of all income taxes. Meanwhile, 47% of wage earners pay no income tax at all. In fact, if you have kids, you’ve probably been given money that you never actually earned, in the form of child tax credits. I’m not saying this is bad. I am saying those are the facts. So, when some lying piece of dung, political commentator says “The rich need to pay their fair share!” they’re not merely lying, they are big, fat, steaming piles of lying, fecal debris. They are a cancer on reality. Opportunist scum of the lowest kind, playing partisan games in order to gain power.
How about Net Neutrality?
Speaking of subterfuge; Net Neutrality is one of the greatest bits of horseshit ever conceived by devious, scum-infested, power-mad, politicians. On par with The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which got us deep into Vietnam in 1964. That was manufactured by another liberal icon, LBJ. Fifty thousand-plus dead Americans later, millions more wounded, hundreds of billions of dollars spent, with millions of dead Vietnamese, but hey! We got Medicare and Medicaid in exchange. That’s a helluva a bargain, let me tell you!
But I digress.
Whatever role the government loosely played in the creation of the internet, it certainly wasn’t the government that fashioned it into this awesome font of knowledge and free shit that we currently hold in the palm of our hands. No. It was free and open markets, pure and simple, which did the trick.
I gotta tell ya, it pains me to see how many people deny the obvious because it doesn’t fit into their world view.
In 2015, the Obama administration warned against a corporate takeover of the internet, while using the biggest corporations on earth as allies, including Google, Twitter, and Reddit, among others, to do precisely that—steal the internet from the people—and hand control of it over too the Feds, who’ve recently become the liberals, bestest pals. They were all in on the selling of Net Neutrality based on a lie, and worked directly to foster this socialist subterfuge—and, with fears that they might lose all that free porn dancing in their heads, porn addicts and Obama supporters, scurried like lemmings to the cliff, taking the rest of America with them.
My God, people! Study some real history. Maybe some economics. How about some actual political history that hasn’t been filtered through miles and miles of personal bias. Or, is that too much to ask?
It would seem so.
