 Welcome to censor this reading is from censor number 125 and before I begin the Article I'd like to quote a few biblical passages Which will prove applicable to the article Prove all things hold fast that which is good one Thessalonians 521 He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches and he that gives to the rich Shall surely come to want Proverbs 22 verse 16 He that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent Proverbs 28 verse 20 And as the nail sticks to the stone So sin sticks to buying and selling Ecclesiastes 27 verse 2 And now the article the war on the poor by William J. Eisenman PhD the unemployment rate in October 2009 was 10.2 percent And between April 2008 and October 2009 The job creation shortfall was 9.5 million it must be kept in mind that the financial meltdown of Wall Street began in 2007 And hit its stride in September 2008 some figures peg the middle class in America as Falling between thirty five thousand and a hundred and five thousand dollars Also keep in mind that only twelve percent of All income is held by the bottom 40 percent of Americans and That today over 48 million Americans are on food stamps the official unemployment rate at this time is 7.4 percent This figure does not count those Who have given up looking for work? Or those underemployed and so many many more the true figure Could be anywhere from 14 to 22 percent Median income in America did not grow from 2001 through 2007 50,000 557 in 2000 and It was 50,223 in 2007 to cheat those receiving cost of living increases on their social security earnings the Bosconn Commission in 1995 informed Congress that inflation was overstated by 1.2 percent this resulted in cuts To social security payments all these years About 91% of Americans believe they are in the middle class The figures are a bit confusing, but some call themselves middle class making 35,000 to 70,000 dollars Others call themselves upper middle class while making seventy thousand to a hundred and five thousand If you make more than a hundred and five thousand dollars You might call yourself well off other figure state that if you made thirty five thousand dollars You would be considered poor or near poor in 1880 percent of Americans workers were connected to the land By 1900 it was 40 percent today It's a mere one percent We cannot truly claim to be free without land as a possession even the Bible makes this clear in Micah 4 verse 4 in 1959 The elderly poverty rate was 35 percent and in 2006 it was nine point four percent The national poverty rate today is 25 percent Employers and employees Contribute six point two percent to the social security system Up to a one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars After that No more payments The rich pay no Social security taxes social security has nothing to do with the national deficits Social security is not a welfare program Social security is its own tax and fund the social security fund is Invested in U.S. Treasury bonds now if social security had been privatized as George W. Bush wanted The financial meltdown would have wiped out millions much Like what happened to a 401ks during the financial meltdown of 2007 2008 Privatization is not a benign process and has negative social consequences Republicans seek to privatize social security To allow their masters on Wall Street to get hold of the social security trust fund as of this writing Social security Social security trust fund Disappears in 2037 that is if we do nothing Remember that it was Republican laissez-faire policies that allowed the financial meltdown to occur They were aided by want to be Clinton new Democrats who wanted in on the action Laissez-faire on steroids the rich Have their poor had the poor in their sights Psalm 10 verse 2 and Psalm 10 verse 9 Obviously, this is nothing new What is new is that the rich Have the poor the near poor and middle class on their side Pitting billionaires It's grotesque These are the same people that when they vote they don't vote in their own interest They vote the interests of billionaires and millionaires and counterfeit Christians These people are confused and many times deceived It is these people who are always posting on Facebook things such as I work hard for my money I don't want it going to pay lazy people not to work or who are on welfare and the like There's not one peep out of them concerning subsidies grants and tax money going to big oil and other corporate pigs at the trough There's not one word about fraud waste or our bloated Socialistic military budget It's the same with those in government who call themselves Conservative Christians yet want to cut food stamps, but not the corporate greed These people are in no way Christians They are unaware of the God given right of the poor Today in cities like Columbia, South Carolina and Hackensack, New Jersey The homeless are being criminalized These laws are violations of civil and constitutional laws and they are violations of God's spiritual laws The people doing these things are immoral evil and deceived Revelation 12 9 between 1980 and 2007 house prices in the United States quadrupled In 1982 the Dow Jones was only 803 it was 14,165 in 2007 now it's over 1500 in the last 30 years economic uncertainty and on fairness have grown to grotesque extremes From the 1950s Through the 1970s the share of income captured by the super rich has was cut back by more than half This was not as a result of natural occurrences or blessings from God It was as a result of laws and regulations From the 1980s till today the peace of the income income pie taken yearly by the rich became again a hugely disproportionate such as it was in the 1920s In the 1980s Wall Street accounted for 16% of all American profits today. It's 41% since 2007 40% of the value of publicly traded companies has evaporated Several trillion dollars worth of home equity gone Along with this over five million jobs went by by the American economy is out of balance As it stands the benefits of the economy are not shared by all Americans The fundamentals of our economy are skewed There is a huge distortion in how income is distributed It has also become clear in the post-World War two period as Finance has come to be a greater part of our economy especially since the 1980s our real economy has slowed in The 1970s the richest 1% Anybody remember Occupy Wall Street? Took in less than 9% of the nation's total income, but by 2007 it was 23.5% The recovery we are experiencing is anemic because the middle-class and poor have a little purchasing power Because the bailouts and stimulus money went to Wall Street and the haves As a result our economy is stagnant The system is broken and corrupt We need change The umbilical cord between government and corporations must be severed Must be kept out of elections. Oh, excuse me money must be kept out of elections The influence of the wealthy on government government must cease We must return the tilt of government back toward we the people Main Street is the real economy Consumers represent 70% of the economy Our mass production economy must be accompanied by mass consumption There can be no mass consumption without the 70% of consumers having purchasing power In the last 30 years wages for typical Americans have hardly increased Wages used to rise in tandem with profits Today's unemployment problem proves the point that unemployment is a failure of demand and that demand Is a failure of purchasing power The rich can't spend enough to sustain our economy Jeremy Bentham said Taxing the wealthy to help the poor Increases the sum total of happiness Our tax system was set up with just this sentiment in mind Those with the most money pay the most taxes Forgetting the altruistic nature of our tax system The fundamental reason for taxing the rich is to defang them To prevent what has happened They have grown too influential and powerful Today the rich and powerful along with corporations own our government Have taken it over Having as pity billionaires makes them more powerful and less socially conscious These issues have allowed companies like Caliburton, Monsanto And GE, General Electric, to end up totally self-centered Corrupt and many times just plain evil Also when they don't pay their taxes we must make up the shortfall They rob from us They may at times cause pain, destruction and death with impunity and still make a donor All of this has undermined our democracy And do not fall for the propaganda that high taxes on the rich mean slow growth Because there is no correlation between higher taxes on the rich and slower economic growth A shadow market exists in the world It consists of a collection of unaffiliated extremely wealthy nations And investors that run the international economy Through their prodigious holdings of stocks, bonds, real estate, currencies And other financial instruments which they keep In largely unregulated investment vehicles such as hedge funds, private equity funds And government-owned holding companies Among these money is a weapon As of 2007, 60% of America's debt is held by foreigners and other governments The global economy in 2008 was worth $62 trillion The shadow market hides its activities And this is not some conspiracy theory, this is real today Investing is a rich man's game and only a few can play In 2009, there were 359 billionaires in America Can we all shed a tear? All of this goes on without significant regulation And it is not good for the real economy Propagandists for free markets and laissez-faire economics Have for years tried to convince us that free markets was the way to spread democracy and freedom Around the world That worked real well in red China They have also been trying to convince us that low tax rates on the rich And corporations will make us economic powerhouses The unemployment rate in Norway is 2% And the tax rate is 50% While for corporations it is 28% They live a pretty darned good life, oh by the way They have free health insurance Both the Democrats and Republicans owe their souls to the corporations Big business and the wealthy It cannot be stressed often enough that America today is a fascist nation Fascism results when the corporations and government are married to each other Big corporations own our government One thing we need to do is abolish all political parties John Adams warned that political parties are to be feared as the greatest political evil under the Constitution The first political parties in America were the Democrats and the Whigs Many Americans debate whether America the beautiful Should be our country's national anthem instead of these star-spangled banner But some of them might be put off by the third verse America, America God shed His grace on thee The selfish gain no longer stain the banner of the free It is certain those on Wall Street would not want that verse sung In 2010 the poverty rate in the United States was 15.1% And at that time some 46.2 million Americans Were below the poverty line, which was $22,314 for a family of four At that time the median household income fell by 2.3% Jobs are not available Yet Congressman Paul Ryan and his demon Republican enablers are seeking to cut food stamps These are evil intentions We have conservative counterfeit Christians up in arms concerning gay marriage But they raise not a peep about the unholy marriage between corporations and the United States government In 2010 there were about 3.5 million homeless Americans Wages had declined for 90% of Americans In 2009 1,470 Americans made more than a million dollars but paid no taxes The subsidies to the oil industry yearly amounts to about $1 trillion in the last decade The military budget has gone from $300 billion to $700 billion But in actuality it is much more and accounts for one third of the budgets These expenditures have not made us safer nor earned us respect from tyrants around the world Even when the United States was the only country to have the atomic bomb Small countries were at war with us Those conservative neocons who wrote the project for the new American Century Fail to understand that no enemy big or small fears the United States Bible prophecy makes it clear that the United States One of the modern day descendants of one of the tribes of ancient Israel Has won its last war with World War II Whatever good ideas the Tea Party may have started out with it's been corrupted The Tea Party has been co-opted by the Koch Brothers, the Kato Institute And donors to the Federalist Society The Tea Party today is a front group for billionaires and millionaires Since the Tea Party goals were small government Nothing about smaller or less powerful corporations They are anti-regulation which amounts to letting corporations do what the hell they want Even poison our food and medicines They remember that it was lack of regulations that led to the 2007-2008 financial meltdown They want to do away with Social Security and Obamacare But they certainly don't want to put back glass, steel Tea Party members are not friends of the middle class or the poor Tea Party members in government court the Christian right Believing that God wants a limited federal government They are unaware that God wants no human governments Today's right wing Christian believes God is against taxing the rich And is against unions and the capital gains tax They also believe there should be no hikes in the minimum wage This is all foolishness, this is all false Christianity It is a cancer on our body politic As censored as shown throughout the God project The Bible shows that right wing, conservative Christian Republicans In their war on the poor is wrong And they are doing the opposite of what the God of the Bible demands It's time to call out the right wing conservative Christian Republicans They are not Christians at all, Mark 7 verses 7 through 9 They have made up their own God and religion It is also time for Roman Catholics like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas On the Supreme Court of the United States along with Rick Santorum To learn a bit of history about their church Which in its early form persecuted the early church that Jesus founded The Roman Catholic Church martyred 11 of the apostles had the saints killed Revelation 17 In converting by the sword and torture along with the crusades The Roman Catholic Church killed 50 million people The Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire gave us the first day of the week Sabbath Rather than the seventh day Sabbath sanctioned by God We've come full circle before the financial meltdown of 2007-2008 The subprime loan industry claimed they were helping the poor Our capitalistic system uses capital, money as fuel Those with little capital are always at a disadvantage in such a system The poor lack capital, money Even our country's meager safety net is designed to not offer Attorney Page here, a helping hand No one can get rich on welfare Yet the Tea Party and Conservative Republicans would have us believe That no one on welfare is deserving They are all welfare kings and queens And the women are mere baby factories These ideas are evil and dangerous Jesus said the poor would always be with us He also said that what you do for the least among us you've done to him According to a recent figure It would take about $135 billion to end poverty in the United States We spent a hell of a lot more than that on the Wall Street bailout and tarp It seems that we can always find money for wars and the like But never for food or education One thing should be crystal clear by now Conservative Republican Christians are phonies Not Christian at all And what they want to do to the poor And to our government Our weird political ideas conjured up by evil minds They use God as a front man And Christianity is a cloak for their evil intentions They live the devil's get way of life They are greedy and selfish And when they make war on the poor They make war on God and his word for the Bible They have never been doing God's work They don't know what God wants Now that you know the truth What will you do to stop these counterfeit Christians from doing their evil? The end
