Page 08-Class Warfare-Shocking Reality-Part 01

During the Bush administration America was taken into two wars that were not paid for. The National Debt soared but no one noticed or even cared. Politicians prospered, the rich prospered, unemployment was down, and the middle class seemed secure. It was during this period of apparent prosperity and complacency that the super rich launched a quiet and sinister plot to take over America. This is the time when the super rich took over the Congress and Senate by strategically placing and supporting the super rich sympathetic and corrupt politicians into office. This is when Class Warfare really began!

About 47 percent of Congress, or 249 current members are millionaires and 67 percent of the Senate are millionaires. These numbers are conservative! Can you really trust millionaires to protect the interests of the Middle Class, the elderly, the poor, and the sick? Can you really trust them to protect the innocent from gun violence while they are supporting and profiting from the sale of guns? Can you really trust them to protect the rights of minorities, gays, women, and immigrants? Can you really trust them to protect the rights of Universal Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, when they continue to plunder Social Security, and try to make voucher systems out of all these programs so that the medical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and insurance companies can increase their profits and the participants in these programs pay more?

The answer to these questions are complex. Being a millionaire does not automatically mean you are a bad human being. There are many millionaires in both the Congress and the Senate that are true humanitarians and defenders of the principles of an America of the people, by the people, for the people! Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Diane, Feinstein, and Nita Lowery are just a few of them. Although this may not come as a revelation to anyone, my research indicates that all of the Pro American, Pro Obama millionaires are Democrat and all the Anti American, Pro Rich millionaires are Republican. What this information does do is provide a way of monitoring their political agenda, the issues they are supporting, and gives an insight into the present and future methodology of every millionaire in political office in Washington! It is an accurate and simply way of identifying the good guys from the bad and allows us to develop our strategies and battle plans to fight the takeover of America by the Super Rich!

The 2012 Election Spending was nearly an unbelievable $6 Billion! This includes the presidential election, Congressional and Senate seats, and individual state elections. It was an all out assault by the desperate and emboldened super rich like the Koch Brothers, Carl Rove, Grover Norquist, Dick Cheney, Sheldon Adelson, Wall Street, and Super Pacs like American Crossroads, Crossroads GPS, Restore Our Future, Priorities USA Action, US Chamber of Commerce, and Americans for Prosperity. They even organized massive voter fraud and voter registration laws throughout America to prevent minorities, elderly, and college students from voting.

The Super Rich has made a fatal mistake. In the 2012 election battle they revealed their ultimate goal of taking over America, of destroying the middle class and unions, of increasing their wealth thorough more wars, of increasing their wealth by doing away with Universal Health Care, entitlement programs, and restricting the rights of women, gays, minorities, immigrants, and all American Citizens. Their real agenda is Class Warfare! The American people fought back and won this vicious war, but this is only the first of many battles yet to come! We cannot lay back and rest on our victory, we must prepare for the next battle. As long as they own the politicians in Washington, their sinister agenda will be protected and move forward! Our opposition and voices must be heard and believe me this shall be done! The power of the American people was shown in 2012! The power of the American people is a force to be reckoned with! It will continue to rise up against the intentions and oppression of the Super Rich!

Average Wealth of Members of Congress

By law, members of Congress are only required to report their wealth and liabilities in broad ranges. It's therefore impossible to precisely determine how much value their assets are worth, or have gained or lost. from year to year. The Center for Responsive Politics determines the minimum and maximum possible asset values for each member of Congress to calculate a member's average estimated wealth.

About the Charts: The photos and charts were obtained from a fantastic site OpenSecrets.org. First lets look at the Chart for Mitch McConnell. The charts show the average net worth's for each politician. This chart shows that Mitch McConnell's average worth to be about $27 million in 2011. His actual report indicated a net worth for 2011 somewhere between $9.95million to $44.7 million. The reason for this difference is a very broad range and even somewhat nebulous requirement each politician has in reporting his net worth. In most cases it is suspected that the reported numbers are actually much lower than their actual net worth.

The second thing to notice about Mitch McConnell's chart is the phenomenal increase in net worth. In 2004 his net worth was about $3 million. By 2011 his net worth was $27 million! This to me can only be interpreted one way, Mr. McConnell has benefited immensely from what is known as insider trading. Insider trading is when someone in Congress or the Senate buys or sells securities based on information gained on the job. A large number of politicians, both Republicans and Democrats take advantage of this privileged information. All efforts to restrict this practice has failed to pass all proposed legislation. It is both unethical and unfair to all Americans and should be stopped.

The yellow line on the charts shows the average net worth for all the members in the House of Representatives or the Senate. It provides a quick comparison between the individuals net worth (blue vertical lines) and the entire membership.

This is a five part series about Class Warfare.

Part 01: Republican Millionaires

Part 02: Democrat Millionaires

Part 03: Tea Party Caucus

Part 04: President Obama and his cabinet

Part 05: The Supreme Court

This important series requires an enormous amount of time, research, processing, and analysis. I am presently working on Part 01 and will be updating it daily. When it is finished I will begin working on Part 02.

Money talks, money is power, and money buys votes.  Every Republican in the House and Senate has signed the Anti American Grover Norquist Pledge to not raise taxes!  Grover Norquist is a part of the huge machinery of the Class Warfare attack on America by the super rich! They must be fought and taken down!

Why We Must Have Increased Revenue.

The population of the United States is increasing at an incredible rate.  In 1900 the population was 80 million.   In 2010 it was 300 million. It is estimated to increase to 400 million by the year 2050!  To support this expanding population revenues must be increased!   To make money you must spend money!  To invest in the future you must have increased revenues to invest!  Money must be invested in education, housing, creating jobs, infrastructure, energy, technology, defense, world trade, medicine, regulation of environmental violations, regulation constraints on banks and Wall Street, etc.  Money must be available for natural disasters, drought, forest fires, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes. And money is needed to insure the basic quality of life to all Americans through our Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid Programs.  With increased revenue and by eliminated fraud and wasted in these programs the success and quality of these programs can only improve.  The answer to protecting these programs is not in privatization or vouchers.   It is in increased revenues!

This is not about rich vs. the middle class and poor!  It is about what must be done to insure the success and continuance of America in the 21st century.  It is about increasing revenues to support the future of a growing America.   The rich must begin to invest in America by creating more jobs, and contributing their fair share to this great country.  This means paying more in taxes, closing loopholes in the tax system that only the wealthy can take advantage of!  They must stop shipping jobs overseas and hiding their money in offshore accounts in order to avoid paying taxes! Everyone, rich, middle class, and poor must begin to work together!  We are all Americans, Republicans and Democrats, and must defend and invest in Americas future.  Everyone will benefit if we do this!  Otherwise Class Warfare and violence will destroy all that our founding fathers envisioned and fought for!

The above Republican Congressmen represent the top 50 millionaires in both the Senate and House. I still have to research the information for the Quick Profile for most of them. I will also be adding Republican millionaires that did not make the top 50 list. Believe me there are a lot of them. The millionaires have taken over Washington and you deserve to know all the details.
