Podcast 131

A live podcast from the West Metro Tea Party meeting. Inequality will be the cornerstone of the Democratic strategy to hold the line – or pick up seats – in the US Senate. Their success means making you think there is a problem named inequality, and that government can solve it. What are the conclusions of scholars claiming inequality is a ‘terrifying’ problem for the future? Is the United States an Oligarchy? How does a person get rich and stay rich? Finally, if you want to have an impact, you’re going to have to stop talking about it, and start working on building organizations to win elections.

Podcast 129

Midnight rant on the deck! Just finished my reading for the day. Podcast 129 contains my raw reactions to some key stories in the news. Guess what? Harry Reid’s Bureau of Land Management is at it again, this time in Texas. This time, though, there’s a state Attorney General who isn’t going to put up with it. While the President puts the Keystone Xl pipeline approval in his pocket, his rich friends Warren Buffet (owner of rail roads) and Tom (Koch Brothers) Steyer have the president in theirs. Meanwhile, see those aging tanker cars rolling by the rail crossing at 45 miles an hour? They’re falling apart. That means the chances of an environmental disaster are much greater WITHOUT the Keystone Pipeline than WITH it. But who cares about reason when there’s millions of dollars in political contributions at stake from the ‘super rich’ democrat donors. Inequality? Yeah. Sure. Another junk Gallup poll … State surpluses mean rebates right? Not when there’s a stadium to be built! Another loving moment from the last Republican Presidential Candidate, Pretend Conservative Oligarch Jeb Bush, cherry picking economic data to prove your social theory, and more.
