I’ve just finished the book The Hellhound Of Wall Street, what an awesome  book ! The similarities between 1929, and 2007 are remarkable. What I really find amazing is the fact that no one has gone to jail, since we have Sarbanes-Oxley. In 1929 the bankers were still getting their bonuses, just like today. Why does America continue to allow these bankers to steal from us ? Not only did Bill Clinton set the stage for this recession, he signed away regulations(Glass Steagall) that could have prevented this recession. So here again we have union USA adding to the over all destruction of America, and union jobs. The Clintons should be hiding their heads. New York people are a bunch of rocks for electing Hillary Clinton. Isn’t it ironic a democrat causing this much damage to union labor. Back to the book, attorney Pecora painted a picture of the stock market as a “glorified gambling casino where the odds were heavily weighted against the eager outsiders. They were the victims of  a determined, organized group of market wise operators, armed with special information, and special facilities, and backed  generously with bankers credits”. Sounds kind of like today with firms doing these high speed transactions focusing on pennies of gains per trade. Lets not forget the change of the (NYSE) New York Stock Exchange going from non-profit, to for profit. I personally do not believe this benefits the small guy at all. I especially like what Father James Cox said after an audience with president Hoover, ” the U.S. had a government of the bankers, for the bankers, and by the bankers”. Today is no different, I believe the only penalty is going to be a few hundred million dollar fine. And the banks will pay, not the people that caused the recession, and no jail time, wow ! This just cost our country billions of dollars, and jobs we will not see again for a long time. Yes I really want to know why Goldman Sachs people are not going to jail for selling questionable mortgage derivatives ? Lastly why has no one else made the observation between the similarities between the crash of 1929 and todays recession ? I have not read any news papers comparing the two !

“Historically the humanities have been central to education because they have rightfully been seen as essential for creating competent democratic citizens. Recently Nussbaum argues thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry both in the U.S. and abroad. Anxiously focused on national economic growth, we increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable and empathetic citizens,” Though not necessarily a book that needs to be read, I do feel it has a place in the labor force in America. Actually this is were some of our leaders are coming from when they jam things like NAFTA down our throats, and thats why I address this today. The book is, Not For Profit (Why Democracy Needs The Humanities), by Martha C. Nussbaum. After reviewing the trade imbalance with China, and knowing how much aid the US gives to foreign countries, I would say her argument to teach more humanities in school is mute. Nussbaum is entitled to her opinion, but here in her book we come to the point of were we are going in the wrong direction. Her empathy is not going to feed my family, nor pay my medical bills. America was founded by Europeans, and at last glance was still 100 percent unionized. In America it’s all about swindling the people, allowing for deceit, being able to circumvent laws legally, take advantage of people. We are currently losing our standard of living because of our pathetic government, and people that have college degrees telling us what is good for us. With the unemployment rate hovering at 10 percent I say we should implement a 32 hour work week to get everyone working. Fuck corporate America, and the college institution, as we know it. Here is another perfect idea, interest on corporate debt is not tax deductible. I’ll bet anyone 10 dollars this chick is Jewish.

Now I know how Jesus felt as they were pounding in the nails, prior to being hung on the cross. America is so hypocritical, wow, and these unions and their mob ties are in reverse mode, against the people. But so are corporations, everyone is against the people, we are so jealous of each other, it is destroying the good that we have accomplished to this point in time. So what is the plan to get these jobs back ? What is the plan to get our money back ? This is just terrible in the USA today. How can anyone in America say, “Merry Christmas” ?. You can not, if you have any intelligence. Guess who ran the court system back in Jesus’s time ? Yes, you guessed it, the government, bankers, and business people. Man you people are dumb! I would like to point out a must read for people in the know, The Hellhound of Wall Street by Michael Perino. I will discuss it in depth soon. Take Care, Roger

Have you people noticed, watched the direction of the Teamsters in the last 10 years ? First we have UPS buying Overnight freight, then we have Yellow buying TNT freight, plus Roadway. Do you see what is happening here ? There is a big picture here and it points to the Teamsters destroying the union trucking industry. Truly it is bigger than that, its the attorneys giving unions bad information just to screw the working man ! If you look at the law firms representing the Teamsters, you will find a bunch of low down scum-bags. Probably connected to some scum-bag Italians, somewhere ? People, America is being driven into the ground, we could find the answers but the higher ups do not want you to now this. Isn’t it a laugh that the stock market uses Fed-Ex as a bellwether now. And the Teamsters are letting this happen, or should I say Italians. The only reason I mention this is its not benefitting the US, nor it’s people. Its all about greed, but mostly on the corporate side. Our corporate leaders are making millions and the workers are making 15 dollars an hour. I do not see why the unions can not over come this ? It truly points to more corruption on the union side. In a democratic society the workers should be writing the laws in America.  The workers have the majority. So why are we having such trouble getting laws to change in favor of the majority ?

I just do not understand why our government continues to hurt the people that it is suppose to be helping and representing. We are getting terrible representation here, plus a lot of important issues are not getting addressed, issues that are costing us huge money. If corporations were run like this they would be out of business, well that really explains our stock market. Bunch of rip-off artists ! The president should not be sup-prized at the last election, they had the majority and what did they really accomplish ? One really important issue here is immigration, what a perfect time to address this issue. Why ? because we do not have enough jobs for our own people, get the illegals out, now ! No more amnesty, these people are costing us way to much money, and our state budgets just can not handle the expense. Its just that easy, why is our government allowing illegals ? Probably because they are a bunch of morons, actually immigration should be temporarily stopped.  We have people that have been here for generations, lets get these people taken care of first. Why is this so hard ? Amnesty is not a option. In fact lets create some more jobs and get these people out. Like I’ve said before if we need workers set Man Power (corp.) up in foreign countries and bring them over, all documented and legal. The next issue I would like to mention is the proposed tax cuts for couples making over 250,000 dollars. Come on were is the common sense here ? We have all these people unemployed, and the government is in huge need of money, and you want these people getting a break, Wow, are we dumb. You can see the way the US government is running this country it will not be long before China surpasses us, what is sad is all the good people that died in foreign wars to get us here died for nothing ! Merry Fricking Christmas. One other issue I’d like us the consider is the how easy it was for the government to screw the people out of social security. The reason I mention it here is because they already want to push the age higher again. Now, Merry Fricken Christmas !

I’m sure we have all asked the the question, wow, how can they afford that ? Well it seems as though this is what is causing a lot the trouble for my fellow Americans. Really people, all this jealousy in the USA, it is destroying us, and it is everywhere !  The reason for bringing this up is due to the huge amount of money the US gives to people overseas. I am trying to explain why we can not help our own people, yet we give tons of money to people in foreign countries. What the hell is going on here ? Why can we not save, and help, our own people ? What angers me here is the reports of how billions of dollars are wasted in a foreign lands. Come on someone, tell the truth, are we really sending money overseas, or are they are just saying that to confuse everyone ? This is absolutely a slap in every Americans face. When is our government going to say no more, we are broke ! Obama just froze all government workers wages, but what about foreign aid ? No words there, yet our government could care less about its own citizens, and the Republicans are no better. I did not hear one Republican say OK no foreign aid until we get our people back to work ! Or we will cut foreign aid, to pay our own peoples unemployment insurance. See, we do not care about our own. People this is completely unacceptable. What a bunch of hypocrites we have here. Hurray for me, screw you, thats the American way today. Do you all see why we need good strong unions today, or do I have to take a baseball bat to your head. Isn’t it sad this had to be done back when we were trying to organize people, to help them. Same thing today, long hours, no over time, little or no pension contributions, no respect at work place, no senority rights, pay part of health care, I could go on and on !
