the socialist aren’t coming! the socialists aren’t coming! no really, you’re crazy. can’t i just eat my waffle?

People are just asking way too many questions about Caesar’s agenda, a-gain. Really, we need to get this little trillion dollar stimulus deal done and move on. What’s with all the debate? Three whole weeks of being president. Can’t a guy just a get a trillion bucks and eat his waffle in peace without being called a “Socialist?”

Congress and the President are tossing around this idea that company executives receiving bailout money should have their salaries capped at $500,000 per year. Thus, I think it is officially politically correct to rightfully categorize our elected leaders at Socialists.

(Note, being that “politically correct” is an inherently Orwellian term, I understand that it shall never be politically correct to scrutinize The Leader.)

I know, we’re all against earning big salaries now. You’re just not supposed to do it, and that’s simply how it is. If you think otherwise, you must be some big-tobacco-Halidburton-Holocaust denying corporatist. As patently ridiculous as this line of, now, mainstream-accepted thinking is, I’m not even going there.

Truly, the issue is not executive salaries. To wit, Problem the First is bailing out banks and the private sector, thus picking winners and losers in a free economy. This economy is now as nationalized and controlled as it has ever been, and its only going to get worst. About now, Stalin is dancing in Hell and Marx is leading the tango. Yesterday we were talking about borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to bailout failing industries (BORROWING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS – THUS WEDDING OUR INTERESTS ENTIRELY TO FOREIGN INVESTORS). We did it. Rome has been sacked – not by invasion, but by acquiescence and invitation.

Today we are discussing salary caps on executives of, formerly, private companies because and everyone is cheering. Take that corporate pigs!

Now, do I want to send tax money to companies that is just going to puff up corporate salaries? No, of course not. But we’re now on step two of a road we never should have set foot on. We shouldn’t have sent them the money in the first place. Government oversight is no longer a choice here; but sending the money was. This is just the beginning.

What tomorrow? Why don’t we just funnel all capital through the central government and have the treasury send us checks? Companies and employers can just take money from consumers, send it straight to the treasury, and the treasury will work it all out for everyone. Then we can make all salaries, in every sector “equitable.” It’ll be great – and you’ll never pay taxes. Well, at least, you’ll never have to file for them.

Once we do this, we can go after those lawyers and doctors who are making way too much. Wait until we nationalize the medical industry. I think those cardiologists are getting a little too greedy, no? We ought to buy out the NFL too. That way, those corporate suits at NBC won’t be the only ones making money on the Super Bowl. Of course, by then Obama and the Congress will probably have bought NBC too; though, I don’t think the news department is going to put up much of a fight there.

Anyone who thinks this salary cap idea is good and patriotic or populist or fair, even-handed or whatever else needs a reality check: the central government has borrowed money from foreign investors which can’t be paid back any time soon because we’re going into a major recession. This recession is spiralling ervermore into a depression as the government nationalize the private sector and makes our treasury bonds increasingly worthless by borrowing. Not only are we borrowing, but we’re still writing checks!

If someone who was bankrupt asked me to give them $1,000 to pay off their business debts, so they could pay me back later with interest, I’d say they were nuts: how are they going to pay me back if they’re spending my money just to pay down their debts? They’ll have nothing less for investment. But, if they ran a country of 300 million consumers I could render dependent on my goods, and had, say, the greatest military and diplomatic presence in the world which I might have an interest in diminishing, I think I’d reconsider. Asia and the Middle East are carving out spheres of influence bigger than we ever conceived of with them in the last century. I think Mao tse’tung just popped open the bubbly.

As for our laws, our freedoms, our fundamental liberties – what’s the forecast? Well, this country has become a coalition of the apathetic, the half-witted, the misinformed, the morally depraved, the self-centered, the hedonistic, and the vain. 43% are against the bailout and 37% are for it. That leaves 20% undecided. Which suggests to me that most people don’t know or care what’s going on, while maybe a third smell trouble (and most of them still can’t even spot it.). It’s the wet-dream of anyone brought up with a Socialist agenda, bent on power and legal reconstruction.

America is done if we keep this up. This is a road to disaster.
