- Jerry McConnell (Bio and Archives) Tuesday, November 6, 2012
A November 02, 2012, FoxNews.com online article authored by Christian Whiton, was titled “Would an Obama second term save America’s struggling middle class?” This is almost equal to asking if Obama’s first term helped America’s middle class. No amount of terms of Obama in office would help America’s middle class.
The first consideration required to formulate an answer to those questions is to acknowledge Obama’s position in the world scene. He has proven that he is more attuned to Socialism – Communism as a result of his training and education during his school years and then subsequent involvement with mentors of the Socialist – Communist leaders in America.
Secondly, his affiliation and subservience to the Islamic religion, and the Muslims thereof, preclude any possibility that the Christian pretender Barack Obama can serve any loyalty to the American middle, upper or lower classes who are overwhelmingly non-Islamist in their primary theological beliefs. Obama bows only to the Islamic rulers of the non-free world; his obeisance to Christians and others of the free world is barren.
Over the past four years Obama has paid lip-service only, to America’s middle class. His prime attention has been concentrated on the upper levels of income earners and concocting efforts to make them pay even more than the inordinately high levels they already do pay in taxes.
When a very small percentage of those wage earners pay more taxes than more than fifty percent of the total tax burden, that is frankly MORE than their fair share. Yet Obama insists that they “pay their fair share”. In his flinty eyes, those wage earners paying ALL of the taxes, 100 percent, would still not be paying enough.
Now don’t for one milli-second think I am in that tax bracket and am pleading for myself; I am so far out of that range as to be as visible as a gnat’s eyebrow. But I think it is totally unfair to demand that the job producers of our society pay all of the burdens for all of the non-producers. And if Obama would stop trying to punish the job producers with higher and higher taxes the losses of jobs to the middle class might have a chance to rebound to pre-Obama levels.
To quote what Christian Whiton says in his article referenced above in FoxNews.com, “Americans make less now than they did four years ago. Household income adjusted for inflation has dropped back to where it was in the mid-1990s. Middle class wealth has fallen a whopping 40% in the last decade.”
I am also very, very far away from that tax bracket and did not vote fore either of the two candidates. However, I disagree with the comment abut the top producers paying more than their fair share. The everyday workers are the ones producing. Without them, the people at the top wouldn’t exist. It’s on the backs of the hard-working Americans that the wealthiest are making their fortunes. There is a huge imbalance of wealth in this country and around the world, there was probably a time in the world where hard work got you places and you stood a good chance of getting there. Now, however, the newer generations are merely slaves to bankers who run the world. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, busting their tails to earn enough to keep food on the tables. Money truly is the bane of our human existence. You can say without those at the top, there wouldn’t be jobs for those at the bottom, and you would be right also. Why not distribute the profits more fairly to those willing to work for it? Why does a person need to have millions or bills of dollars at their personal disposal? GREED is the answer, and the greed of money is what pulling everyone apart. If we all had a larger piece of the pie and could all afford nice things, how much better would the quality of life for everyone on the planet be? We could all live together peacefully and in harmony with one-another without the greed and envy of keeping up with the Joneses. I really hope that some of the worldly changes I’ve read about here and on other sites comes true for all of us. I’d love to see a mass awakening in humanity.
