"You can hire 10,000 people for 10 to 15 minutes," says Gigwalk CEO Bob Bahramipour. "When they're done, those 10,000 people just melt away."The new normal for a citizen of the United States is the financial and political destruction of the middle class. Socialists, or as in the case of the United States the establishment of that branch of socialism known as corporate fascism is the goal of President Obama and the Democrat Party. Unfortunately some Republicans have now adopted the Pontius Pilate philosophy of political action. They stand at the basin and continually wash their hands, after all if you are in the middle class the least your elected representatives should is clean their hands before placing them in your pockets before removing your wallet.
The news several weeks ago that the Obama administration has delayed the requirements for businesses to to comply with the Obamacare mandate to provide health care if they employ 50 or more people will not change the fact that the United States is on the road to economic Hell. The requirement for individuals to have a health care policy has not been delayed. The middle and lower middle class do not have a voice in the halls of power. Republicans and Democrats alike are wined and dined by big business and big labor. Small businesses and the individual worker are the 10,000 people that are just going to melt away.
Socialists whether they wish to admit or not are class warfare warriors. Socialists know they cannot make everyone wealthy, for to do that means encouraging the private sector and entrepreneurial capitalism, the very things that the socialist despises.Socialist party members do tend to make an exception for themselves in the quest to accumulate wealth. The answer than becomes to pursue policies that will make everyone poorer. If everyone is poor then every man is equal, at least as far as misery is concerned.
Big business tends to support corporate fascism because it destroys competition. Apple, Microsoft, General Electric, & Wal-Mart, to name just a few can afford the lawyers to navigate government rules and regulations. Not only can socialism allow them to crush their competitors, but they can lobby the government to determine which products will be made available to the consumer, and lobby for government subsidies to produce products such as specialized light bulbs, wind turbines, and solar panels. It does not matter if the product is beneficial to the consumer. The consumer not only will have to purchase this product but subsidize it through fees and taxes.
Big business is not going to hire permanent workers. Big business is going to hire temporary workers that will simply melt away. So much for the theory that someone else is going to pay for your health care.
When income tax revenues drop due to the rise in temporary employment, which in turn means a rise in full time unemployment, local, state, and the federal governments will not stop spending. They will raise taxes to cover their new budget shortfalls. The socialist will state that we must tax the surviving corporate giants. What the socialist fails to realize is that individuals pay taxes, corporations do not. The price of goods and services will increase to cover the cost of any new taxes.
The downward spiral will continue for the new underclass. The irony is socialism creates the very thing it is trying to destroy. Socialism creates a class of wealthy elites and destroys the middle class.
The following quote is from Rerum Novarum, Encyclical Letter on the Condition of the Working Classes
His Holiness Pope Leo XIII
May 15, 1891
9. Clearly the essential reason why those who engage in any gainful occupation undertake labor, and at the same time the end to which workers immediately look, is to procure property for themselves and to retain it by individual right as theirs and as their very own. When the worker places his energy and his labor at the disposal of another, he does so for the purpose of getting the means necessary for livelihood. He seeks in return for the work done, accordingly, a true and full right not only to demand his wage but to dispose of it as he sees fit. Therefore, if he saves something by restricting expenditures and invests his savings in a piece of land in order to keep the fruit of his thrift more safe, a holding of this kind is certainly nothing else than his wage under a different form; and on this account land which the worker thus buys is necessarily under his full control as much as the wage which he earned by his labor. But, as is obvious, it is clearly in this that the ownership of movable and immovable goods consists. Therefore, inasmuch as the Socialists seek to transfer the goods of private persons to the community at large, they make the lot of all wage earners worse, because in abolishing the freedom to dispose of wages they take away from them by this very act the hope and the opportunity of increasing their property and of securing advantages for themselves.
