One of the memories from my youth was Lyndon Johnson’s War on
Poverty which he did as a diversion as they sent mostly poor and mostly black
people in the “draft” (without, too poor to afford, deferments) over to Vietnam
for the sake of General Motors’ profits and quarterly dividends.
I can remember a pre-class discussion in college among fellow
students back then how Lyndon Johnson or his wife Lady Bird held stock in a company that
made the infamous “tiger cages” to house and torture North Vietnamese Prisoners
of Wars. This of course for a profit etc. For profit is no sin – right?
In that great tradition of rich man politician Hypocrisy, Paul Ryan
has suddenly discovered the poor and the losing war on poverty. And no doubt to cover up public, not private,
guilt over Janna’s Petroleum Industry “Blind” trusts funds and perhaps too as a
cover for Ann Romney making millions
through “Elliott Associates” from taxpayer federal bailout money for the auto
industry in her “Blind Trust” etc,
- Paul Ryan has suddenly found the “Poor”
and is promising them “Upward Mobility” just like Jesus did in his day.
Paul Ryan / Mitt Romney / Ayn Rand Beatitudes:
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of welfare
– 47%.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be sold a $20,000 on
credit that they cannot afford funeral package for mom.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall pay my share of the taxes.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be given a “Truth” enema by FOX NEWS.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall be taken advantage of by
the hedge fund managers.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they are losers – no scratch,
cash – nada.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be assassinated by the
arms dealers and or droned on by the Military Industry Complex INC etc.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for tax sakes: for theirs is the kingdom and banking system
of the Cayman Islands.
