Trump's Plan is to CUT Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Environmental Protection and Public Schools in order to give Another Massive Tax Cut to the Rich...

If Trump Overturns the Election of 2020, His First Mission is to Make Abortion Illegal... Forcing Women to Have Unwanted Babies!

Then... Steal All Social Security Money and Give it to His Billionaire Friends... Letting Your Grandmother Starve... He Already Cut FOOD STAMPS for 700,000 People... WE SHOULD FEED AMERICAN CHILDREN NO MATTER WHAT THEIR PARENTS DO...
It's Not The Children's FAULT if their Parents Have a Horrible Job that Can't Pay For Food... Trump Is Evil...

A great book documenting Charles Koch's campaign is "Democracy in Chains" by Nancy MacLean.

He founded The CATO Institute in order to publish Libertarian Propaganda, Influence Political Thought and Legislative Action. They write what they are told to write no matter what Actual Reality is. Corporate Whores...

Koch opposes Majority Rule in the USA as that leads to Laws funding programs that are popular with the Majority. Wealthy people are a minority group so their desires are under represented.

For example: Why should wealthy people pay taxes to fund Public Schools when their children go to Private Schools? Trump's appointment of Elizabeth Devos as Secretary of Education enables the mission of School Vouchers to proceed... Cutting funding for Public Schools.

https://www.npr.org/2017/06/18/531929217/democracy-in-chains-traces-the-rise-of-american-libertarianism

Obscuring census data to give "conservative districts more than their fair share of representation." Preventing access to the vote. Decrying "socialized medicine." Trying to end Social Security using dishonest vocabulary like "strengthened." Lionizing Lenin. Attempting to institute voucher programs to "get Government out of the business of public education." Increasing corporatization of higher education. Harboring a desire, at heart, to change the Constitution itself.

This unsettling list could be 2017 Bingo. In fact, it's from half a century earlier, when economist James Buchanan — an early herald of libertarianism — began to cultivate a group of like-minded thinkers with the goal of changing government. This ideology eventually reached the billionaire Charles Koch; the rest is, well, 2017 Bingo.

IS TRUMP TOO INSANE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT? Does his danger to the Human Species warrant a 25th Amendment removal?

Would a war with North Korea or Iran trigger GLOBAL ANNIHILATION by Nuclear Weapons? End Human Life on this planet? Extinction Forever? That's what we have with a Madman in the White House... He Believes That Jesus Will Save Him Before The Atom Bombs Explode! Rapture will BEAM HIM UP!

One Problem with BELIEVING LIES is that Corrupt People Will Take Advantage of You. For Example: Trump's Fake University - He Had to Refund $25 Million Dollars to Students for FRAUD... A Simpler Way To Live is to REFUSE TO BELIEVE LIES... Think For Yourself!

Remember Trump's Fake Charity? He Had to Pay a $2 Million Dollar Fine for FRAUD and Cannot Operate a Charity in New York State Ever Again... BUT... That Does Not Prevent Him From Founding a Fake Charity in Florida... Where He Can Steal From Veterans AGAIN... An Alternative to BEING a GULLIBLE FOOL is to WAKE UP! It's FUN, It's FREE and Everybody's Doing It!

Charles Koch was responsible for Flint Michigan Water Crisis. It's cheaper to let people drink from the poisoned river... Great Book: Democracy in Chains" by Nancy Maclean

According to Nancy Maclean's Book, "Democracy in Chains" Charles Koch selected to change the source of drinking water in Flint to the river... sadly the river is heavily polluted and people got sick from drinking it. However, it was cheaper than the previous source and so it cost the corporation less money to provide.

"What happened in Flint was not a natural disaster. Nor a case of government incompetence. What happened there was directly attributable to the prodding of the Mackinac Center, one of the first Koch funded - and in this case Koch -staffed -state level "think and do" tanks that now exist in all fifty states and are affiliated with the State Policy Network (SPN), also Koch-concocted, to coordinate efforts to prevent state governments from responding to the demands of the "takers." - page 214

Review

"[A] remarkably important book...this book is a superb contribution to our understanding of the rise of libertarian notions and right-wing political power in the US. If you wonder how the Supreme Court came to define speech as money or corporations as people, this volume will help you to figure it out...The melting ice caps, if nothing else, stand as testament to the folly of listening mainly to the rich and powerful."—Bill McKibben, The Times Literary Supplement

http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/what-do-the-koch-brothers-have-to-do-with-the-flint-water-crisis/

Whose Idea Was It to Switch the Water?

Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan, elected in 2011 and a former CEO of a computer company with little governing experience, had tapped several “emergency financial managers” across the state in cities that had no money, including Flint.
As a way to save money, one of the managers in 2014 chose to switch Flint’s water from Detroit’s source of Lake Huron to the Flint River. To ensure that this switch would not poison people and forever change the lives of thousands of children, a system to sanitize the water would need to be in place. It was not. The “emergency managers” appointed by Governor Snyder made the switch anyway, opening spigots of poisonous water across the city like some alternate plot in a Batman movie. In this version, however, the villains are not masked lunatics and dark-alley criminals, but those in charge of managing a city.
The switch was supposed to save $1 million. If trading the health and safety of children to save money seems like a deal with the devil, it’s pretty close.
The infamous Koch brothers are not the only family that has used its gargantuan fortune to impact policy for the worse. In Michigan, another family has been throwing its money around to support an ideological agenda that led to the Flint water crisis.

Bubble UP Economics - Free Coloring Book art by gvan42

Repeal and Replace tRUMP'S Tax Cut for the Rich Law. It's Bankrupting America. Tax Cuts for the 99% would Stimulate Our Economy. BUBBLE UP ECONOMICS WOULD WORK

If the Majority of people paid less taxes, we would spend that Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits for the Stockholders, Creating Jobs, Cutting Unemployment Payments, Cutting Welfare Payments... Everybody Wins.

It's Called BUBBLE UP ECONOMICS and a Proven Success.

See? There IS a Cure for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome...

What IS Bubble UP! Economics and How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and that Money will Bubble UP! Throughout all levels of Society!

Everyone Who gets a Raise will spend the extra money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those Businesses will have to Hire More People to Handle the Extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments.

People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children or Other Living Things... Farmers will sell More Food. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores.

Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP! Economics would reverse that trend... With a Rising Tide, Every Boat Floats!

With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... Everybody WINS!

"Some People" say that Businesses will have to let people go if they have to pay $15/hour. OBVIOUSLY FALSE. Businesses have ALREADY let everyone go that they possibly can. What! You think there are EXTRA Employees Sitting Around Doing Nothing? ABSURD!

Are You an OUT Of Control GREED FREAK? Get Help NOW!

So, Who Could Possibly be Opposed to all the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady or People that save thousands of newspapers until their house is a maze of paths thru stacks of papers that they never read. People with CHOMS want more, more, more money even though they cannot possibly spend what they already have. Think about it, Once someone owns five mansions, what is the motivation to buy a SIXTH Mansion? OH! That's right, it's a disease! COMPULSIVE HOARDING, of Money! However, We can Help these people... If you meet them, have a talk, explain that doing evil for money is not the best way to live life. Simple Conversations Can Have an Effect. Repetitive Conversations... It May Take Many, Many, Many Explanations because PEER Pressure is REAL... Currently, people with CHOMS are surrounded by Other Greed Freaks... Encouraging Evil Behavior as a Sick Game. I remember that Michael Milkin and Ivan Boesky competed to see who could win the most money on the stock market and they used DOLLARS AS A WAY TO KEEP SCORE. Then they went to prison... Well, Maybe we could talk to CHOMS Victims before they Get Arrested. And if not, maybe we can expose them in the press or online and help them by PUTTING THEM IN JAIL.

For Example: The CEO of Dow Chemical makes a Pesticide (sulfoxaflor) that is Killing BEES. The EPA just ruled that they can continue to sell the pesticide if they just put a warning label on the side of the barrel... BUT BEES CAN'T READ! It is possible to GOOGLE Dow Chemical and find out Who the CEO is and Where He Lives... Maybe a person could get a Job as a Waiter at the Catering Company that serves his Mansion... Maybe they could ask him to stop Killing Bees? Tell Him: NO BEES, NO FOOD. MASS STARVATION... and even You Can't Eat Money...

BUT... There is Hope for the Future! Hey, If Katy Perry and Taylor Swift can bury the Hatchet and become friends, then anything is Possible. Maybe the 1% and the 99% Could stop fighting... Lions laying down with Lambs... It's All Possible... All you need is LOVE, La, la la la lah...

WAKE UP! It's Fun, It's FREE and Everybody's Doing IT!

Simply STOP BELIEVING LIES.

not Prosperity among Americans in general...

just the super rich...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity

Americans for Prosperity is a political advocacy group and a non-profit organization... AFP’s stated mission is “educating citizens about economic policy and mobilizing citizens as advocates in the public policy process.” The group played a major role in the Republicans’ 2010 takeover of the House of Representatives, and has been called “one of the most powerful conservative organizations in electoral politics.” AFP was founded with the support of David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch,

Atlas Economic Research Foundation, Americas Forum, Center for Security Policy, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), FreedomWorks. and the Liberty & Freedom Foundation.

Allen West is a nationally notable member of the Tea Party Caucus, and has been referred to as the "rock star", "champion", and "political avatar" of the Tea Party movement. His impassioned, and at various times controversial rhetoric, has been met with both approval from supporters and rebuke from critics.

A political attack ad released by American Sunrise PAC was extremely critical of his policies and depicted him in violent cartoon action against several individuals. West immediately issued a statement condemning the ad, stating that it "plays on stereotypes" with the goal of diverting Americans from more pressing matters at hand such as high unemployment. He claimed the ad was released by the family of his opponent.

The campaign manager of his opponent, Patrick Murphy, claimed the ad was from a third party and therefore held no liability for it.

American Sunrise PAC...
They list one candidate on their website:
Patrick Murphy
Florida 18th Congressional District

Romney's Super PAC:

"Mitt Romney has created thousands of jobs, cut spending, and balanced budgets without raising taxes. Barack Obama wasted $800 billion on a failed stimulus and the jobless rate went up." direct quote from the main page of Restore our Future.

"PAID FOR BY RESTORE OUR FUTURE, INC. NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE"

THIS IS A TRICK TO AVOID CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restore_Our_Future
Restore Our Future is a political action committee (PAC) created to support Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. A so-called Super PAC, Restore Our Future is permitted to raise and spend unlimited amounts of corporate, union, and individual campaign contributions under the terms of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

As of August 2011, the largest individual contributor to Restore Our Future was John Paulson, a billionaire and hedge fund manager who is, according to Politico, "famous for [having enriched] himself by betting on the collapse of the housing industry." An additional million dollars came from W Spann LLC, a dummy corporation with no record of actual business activities. W Spann LLC was incorporated, donated to the PAC, and then dissolved in a matter of months, attracting concern from election-watchdog groups and campaign-finance experts about the use of dummy corporations to shield large campaign contributions from public scrutiny.

Club for Growth — perhaps more than any other organization on the right — has aggressively supported conservative candidates against incumbent Republicans in an effort to push the GOP toward its pro-business, libertarian brand of conservatism. The group’s dissatisfaction with Romney has been well documented.
http://www.clubforgrowth.org/

The Club for Growth is a politically conservative 527 organization active in the United States of America, with an agenda focused on taxation and other economic issues, and with an affiliated political action committee (PAC). The Club advocates lower taxes, limited government, less government spending, free trade, and economic liberalism (libertarianism). Its PAC endorses and raises money for conservative candidates.
The Club was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore. The current president is the former Indiana Congressman, Chris Chocola.

The main complaint of Judicial Watch is that voter registration lists often contain names of people that have recently died. In the event of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, this would be a problem. In reality, dead people rarely vote.
