No Representation without Taxation?

[markbark]

Could somebody slap some sense into this anti-democracy, elitist fool please?
I just read this, instead of coffee given the adrenaline rush it gave me -- ugh. While this angers me to the point of pre-verbal sputterings, what's kind of funny is that I'm surprised that he figured any of it out: the analysis of power is pretty accurate. It's turned on its head, though, and the moral force is gone. I'm wondering how you figure that people who have four jobs, all part-time, at minimum wage are "unproductive."

"Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American"
Why are left-wing activist groups so keen on registering the poor to vote?

Because they know the poor can be counted on to vote themselves more benefits by electing redistributionist politicians. Welfare recipients are particularly open to demagoguery and bribery.

1. it is clear that vadum has not done the math

to discover who are the real burdens to our economy.
it is not workers and consumers who cause problems but policies that allow the rich to siphon off the value of all our labor.

2. Why would you read something by Vadum?

http://www.capitalresearch.org/about/bios.html

Here's his bio from his vile Capital Research Center:

...Vadum's book, "Subversion Inc.: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers," was published by WND Books in May 2011. His research was cited by Michelle Malkin in her New York Times bestseller, "Culture of Corruption." Malkin credits Vadum with being one of two people in the nation with the "foresight and insight in reporting on the story when no one else would."


Here's a recent article about him from the 'left' point of view:

3. Always nice to see what the otherside is up to.

Think of it as "opposition research"

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
If you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, for every battle you win, you will also suffer a defeat.
But if you know neither your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

That Sun Tzu was a pretty smart guy....... {grin}
