Ice on the Moon

Start with the Powell memo in 1971, ten years before the Reagan Revolution.

They had to turn one person one vote into one dollar one vote to end democracy.

All we have to fear is fear itself:

Working class Trumpists ended America on election night. If we are to recreate a New America we will have to start organizing to accomplish the common task. Now.

The clear parallel to me is the small faction of progressive democrats that understand the only hope for a New America is to Tax Billionaires Into Oblivion T.B.I.O. Because democracy has eternally self-destructed by way of democratic freedoms allowing wealth to concentrate upward to fewer and fewer until a very few own everything and then of course everyone. The first task of a survivable democracy is to limit obscene wealth. The central question of democracy is how much wealth do We the People allow the individual to keep so as to limit their ability to corrupt and destroy democracy.

If the party we are relying on to save us fails then it will be far worse than Jim Crow; it will be showers and ovens.

Democracy must now obviously first be about what destroys all democracies, which is oligarchy. We MUST tax billionaires into oblivion as the first step if we are to create a New America because what was America ended on election night. The central fact of democracy is the only reason anyone owns anything is because the rest of us let them. The central problem of democracy is rapacious greed allowing wealth to concentrate upward to fewer and fewer individuals until a very few own everything and everyone, ending democracy. The central question is how much wealth We the People allow the individual to keep in order to keep them from destroying democracy.

The Republic did not punish the traitors after the civil war and within a few decades the south was hanging blacks at picnics. If we do not end Trumpism with extreme prejudice and tax billionaires into oblivion T.B.I.O. then the next time it will be death camps with showers and ovens for sure. Be afraid.

We damn the rich but the only way to something better is to not submit to them. Instead, many worship them. These sycophants are the real enemies…the rich are so few and have only imaginary power. It is our MAGA double-digit IQ fellow citizens who ended America on election night. A New America must recognize these sad truths.

The only plan that will work is to begin with one simple first step; TAX BILLIONAIRES INTO OBVLIVION T.B.I.O. Say it. Billionaires are how we got in this mess…billionaires did this. Democracy has a very clear requirement that has always been the elephant in the room; limiting wealth. The central question of democracy is how much wealth We the People allow the individual to keep so they are rewarded for their ability while limiting their ability to destroy democracy.

Coons keeps dancing around taxing the rich and is not talking bluntly about doing so. Coons talks a good game but he is leaving out the one thing that will make any of it possible; New Deal tax rates on the wealthy. It is all babbling unless you start with that. Fail.

This Christmas feels so different to millions of Americans because of what has happened and is happening to our country.

It is true….I was a teenager in the 70’s and my father was a mechanic and we had a house and two cars and my Mom did not work. In California. The Reagan Revolution ended the American Dream. I am an eyewitness.

If there is any justice they are all going to prison forever. And maybe we can de-pardon a few.
