How You Feed the Ruling Class

A headline from Washington Times:

Bill Clinton cashes in on struggling nonprofit hospital

Gets $225,000 in speaking fees as workers laid off

______________

An NFP's sole job is to get more free money from the grants and donations so the staff can be paid while puttering around some purported charitable effort. This is not a definition, of course, just a real world understanding. With many NFPs, the activity of the group is political in direct contradiction of the law. Well, that is an overstatement, in violation of the U.S.Code, which is only advisory, these days.

Here, a pay-off was made to the former president, a member of the current gang running the turf, of $225,000 so he can grin and goof for an hour, which is the pretense of a service.

The hospital will claim that his appearance will loosen up donors. Probably, so?  The hospital is in the marketing/fundraising business. Mr. Clinton did not appear as a charitable contribution, no way; nor did people attend out of charity. The event was a meeting of the clan and wannabes. 

Have some food, have your picture taken with Mr. Clinton, and all the expense is a charitable deduction, which in the end is stealing tax money from ordinary people by using the deduction for "charity."  Bill Clinton is not a charity and the oligarchy is taking care of itself.

The union boss, quoted in the story, doesn't get this. He was upset his union man had taken away four or five jobs and the the hospital will claim poverty when it is time for a new contract.


He will still bite the bullet. Junkies pay the pusher, no matter how badly they are treated.

The "system," an oligarchy serving the ruling class, takes your money, obtained through confiscation, oh taxes, then, gives those who can use deductions are rebate on their political contribution.

This is not cute, it is corruption, a more correct word for theft.  

Of course, the only way to end this is to stop feeding the monster. One could adopt the leftist technique, however, of milking the system by applying for benefits and causing expense and confusion.

The way the machine wins, until the bloody end, is that it puts people in jail who resist, so the rest of us pay the protection money.  People with guts will just stop feeding the monster, but who will do it alone? A general strike would end the entire corruption of the government as it ran out of money.

In the end, we will become like Italy where people work off the books, join the distribution list of free money, and forget about obtaining useful educations or inventing new products. Will go to make work jobs, shift papers across the desk, have great pasta, then have a two month holiday. The Italians, et al,  strike when it looks there is no money to pay them; so, the government submits to another loan request to the IMF and large banks, making sure generations of children will pay for the pasta. 

In the old day, the European serfs came to the U.S. to escape the crush of oligarchy. This gaggle of freedom seekers built the strongest economy in history. Where do we go, now?

As the noose continues to tighten, the income actually leaves the country, people retire, people create purposeless deductions rather than save, citizens give up looking for work, and others join the welfare line, so, in the end, the government needs more resources. This begins a new cycle of taxes and subsequent flight. The men with the guns always find a way to pay themselves. The Russians had to put up walls to stop the diaspora.

Of course, we can still vote, sort of. The key, now, is to vote in the primaries where you vote has weight. Don't vote for a Blood or Krip, vote for someone who mentions the Constitution. (Don't confuse a patriot with someone claiming to be "conservative.") If you hear nothing but noise from the candidates vote the incumbent out.

Remember Detroit? Watch the coming deterioration of the, now, wealthy NYC, the pinnacle of business. The first task of new communist mayor is to close the horse stable (no more romantic carriage rides), to help friends. Get it, yet? New York will continue to empty even as Manhattan attracts the 1% types. "Its a nice little club you peons built - thanks.  Off you go."   

Note, the truly wealthy pay little income tax, thats for chumps who work for a salary. They pay accountants, lawyers, and politicians for proper consideration. All the posturing by Democrats never addresses real wealth.  Vote "none of the above."  

The American Diaspora has started.
