John White’s crumbling house of cards – From VAM to worse

April 23, 2013

7

These days John White might be needing a hug. It appears all the ill-will and poor decisions making he has sown over the past year is coming home to roost on his doorstep, all at the same time. Support the Louisiana Student Privacy Act Recently we called out White for lying to everyone in the state […]

Reblogged from Forgery: The Louisiana Department of Revenue uses undecipherable bloggers to promote an incoherent tax policy on the official state website? That actually makes a lot of sense. They probably had to comb the earth to find someone who would support such an irrational and absurd proposal. Fortunately Sadie is always available to be […]

Why a Crawfish would make a better Governor than Bobby Jindal, Part I (Taxes)

February 18, 2013

5

It’s been said that it’s a lot easier to tear something or someone down, that to build it up. It’s easier to attack an idea without proposing one of your own. While that’s true, it’s also true many of our politicians don’t come to their constituents and ask them what they think would be a […]

January 11, 2013

Reblogged from CenLamar: I. Today, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal proposed the single largest, one-time tax increase in Louisiana history, an across-the-board 3% increase in state sales taxes. If approved and passed into law, Louisiana would have the highest combined sales tax rate in the United States, an average of at least 11.84% (an aggregate that […]

Who else is ready for some cliff diving?

December 11, 2012

Who else is ready for some cliff diving? I was wondering if this was a sentiment shared by others of my ilk. All this talk of fiscal cliffs seems to be a bit overdone. Maybe it’s just election fatigue and crisis fatigue setting in, but I find myself struggling to work up any great amount […]

I want Star Trek Socialism!

July 21, 2012

13

Anyone familiar with the Star Trek Universe would probably have some understanding of what this means, but for those less nerdy, but still socially and morally conscious among us, I will summarize. Through the eyes of the Star Trek crew we can observe that poverty and health issues have largely been eliminated.  Lack of shelter […]

The American Dream

July 7, 2012

Great cartoon video if you have about 30 minutes to spare to be entertained while seeing how the banks have controlled much of our government throughout history and are currently siphoning off much of our wealth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWH5TlbloU It may not cover all the angles and may be a tad overdramtic, but let me know of any parts […]

Reblogged from Corporate Whoredoms & the American Kleptocracy: Here are two in depth articles on how the entire economy is built on Fraud, just in case you've missed these: http://daviddegraw.org/2010/06/full-report-the-economic-elite-vs-the-people-of-the-united-states-of-america/ http://exiledonline.com/confessions-of-a-wall-st-nihilist-forget-about-goldman-sachs-our-entire-economy-is-built-on-fraud/ Christina Marlowe Some spot on articles. I'm not sure if I should be relieved that others can see this or overwhelmed by the sheer […]

Bet You Didn’t Know it Will Be the Republicans That Come for Your Guns?

June 23, 2012

8

It won’t happen overnight of course, but in 10-15 years Republicans will be the ones pushing for gun controls, registrations, and confiscations of your guns – so enjoy them now while you can. I expect them to be very successful in this drive. You may think I’m crazy to think this way, but that’s my […]

Screw the Banks! Save the World!

June 16, 2012

I have a two-part solution to the nations and world’s economic problems. First to outline the situation: The banks created the financial crisis we are in and are refusing to allow anyone to regulate them.  They are buying off elections, economists, officials and entire countries.  The have more access to our politicians and political machinery than […]
