Americans, Please Wake Up! Part One
All the way from local government through state and on to Washington, these government parasites are enjoying unprecedented prosperity while the rest of America's free enterprise system is suffering. Americans, wake up! The only sector of America that has grown exponentially during 2009 is government and they're done it on the backs of us taxpayers?
In a recent analysis, USA Today analyzed 2M Federal workers tracked by the database of the Office of Personnel Management which excludes the White House, Congress, the Postal Service, Intelligence agencies and uniformed Military personnel. It found that 19% of Federal workers make more than $100,000 per year before overtime and bonuses compared to 14% when the recession began. The average Federal workers' pay is much higher now than the average private sector worker's pay. The American free enterprise worker's average of $40,331/year while government leeches' average $71,206/year. If the excluded portion, not counting our great military, were added in, these figures would be even more outrageous.
In my own state of Colorado, the Governor added 4000 state government jobs while free enterprise lost jobs. My County government reneged on a senior property tax reduction so that the county could use it for the county government parasites.
I'm sure that if you look at your own state and counties you will find the same "stealing" by government on the backs of the taxpayers. We must take America back from these non-representative government bodies whose population is getting very close to out-numbering those of us in free enterprise who are working our tails off to satisfy the government's appetite for our money. Please let your non-representative elected parasites know that you will not take it any longer. It's absolutely outrageous!
Our own government further lies to us by manipulating phony indexes to tell us things are better than we think. The CPI does not include food and energy costs - the consumer price index - so they can tell us prices have not increased due to much money chasing too few goods. How stupid do they think we are? Energy costs affect so many products, it's not funny!
Also, any time particular index items are susceptible to abrupt price movements, these items are eliminated from the computation for CPI so government can report a lower rate of inflation.
These unemployment figures that do not include part time workers who can't find permanent work or people who have stopped looking for work. By adding these people to the unemployed roles, total unemployment rises to 12%-15%, not the so-called 10% that is reported.
Despite the Obama administration's predictions that unemployment (which leaves out the 2 categories of workers above) would peak at 8% in 2009, unemployment has doubled since 1/1/08 thanks to wasteful boondoggle government bailouts and stimulus packages which will add even more people to the unemployed ranks.
The Federal government reports a debt of $12T. Total hogwash! The government is further lying to us because they repeatedly do not include in the total debt off budget balance sheet liabilities such as unfunded pensions of $2T, state debt shortfalls $3.5T, current budget deficit $1.7T plus $1T more for the next 10 years, and, last but not least, those infamous entitlement programs of $60T. The real debt of the USA is more like $89T and rising to $100T. America is bankrupt! And yet, governments at all levels won't stop spending and want to tax us even more, i.e.: health care, cap and trade, etc.. When will the people of the United States revolt?
This concludes Part One of "America, Please Wake Up!". The subject of this article will conclude with another article to follow in a day or two. You don't want to miss it!
