23 July 2011. Politics Through a Cartoonist’s Eyes…

Last year, the Five Percenters gave themselves a 29 percent pay raise… and laid off workers! Many American businesses had a VERY profitable year. If you vote for the New GOP… THIS is what you vote for. Your job may be next… after all, the Five Percenters HAVE to pay their wetback illegal immigrant nannies and gardeners…

******

THIS is where the money for the tax cuts to the Five Perecenters is coming from… any questions?

When Rupert falls, what’ll be the effect on the rightwing media? No one yet knows… but it won’t be without effect, that’s for certain. He’ll drag down others in his undertow…

Remember Sarah? However… as Chukcha the Wise would say… her fans are devoted to her; her inane remarks and prima dona behaviour doesn’t faze them. She could still win the GOP nomination on the votes of the slobbering Bubbas of this world (they’re the New GOP base, I’m afraid)… that’s possible… so, don’t drop your guard. Vote “NO” next November to the Five Percenter agenda…

******

Most of the Western media falls into those categories, not only the rightwing part of it. There’s no reporting on the two million families tossed out on the street through foreclosure, nor is there reporting on how the Five Percenters are living it up at our expense. The New GOP and the Internationalist Democrats are equally evil… Bernie Sanders for President… now, that’s a candidate I could vote for with gusto!

Note well that the Tea Party screams about invasion of privacy via government regulation, but says NOTHING about the shredding and meltdown of our freedom under the Patriot Act and the police-state Department of Homeland Insecurity… rather, they wish this pointless hellishly-expensive agency and this nakedly repressive act to continue… one wonders why…

******

The present tax rates on the wealthiest are HALF of those levied in the Nixon era… there were plenty of rich folks then, I seem to remember… what’s WRONG with that picture?

******

It’s quite simple… as Nobel Prize laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz pointed up, if the “deficit hawks” have their way, it’ll start a downward and perpetual cycle… less spending would mean lower profits for business… the Five Percenters would shed workers rather than decrease their rapacious appetites… which would lead to more spending cuts… ad infinitum.

******

America has to sacrifice, dontcha know… that is, everybody EXCEPT for the Five Percenters! I seem to notice that none of the loudest Neoliberal Free Marketers offer to take the slightest pay cut to save jobs. NONE. Certainly, it puts a new spin on the rants of Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, and Tim Pawlenty, doesn’t it?

******

We HAVE to cut education… we have Congressional junkets (that Michelle Bachmann takes advantage of), a generous Congressional healthcare plan (defended by John Boehner), three pointless wars (and a fourth “war-in-waiting” in Yemen), and the Department of Homeland Insecurity to pay for. We NEVER needed a “Department of Homeland Security” in the Cold War… why do we need one now? There’s no visible enemy… al Qaeda is nothing but the rightwing’s bogeyman, anyone who believes in the nonsense about the “War on Terror” deserves a long stay in a home for the feebleminded.
