Let's face it; the recession has been brutal on all of us. My annual bonus has been stuck in the six figures for the last couple of years. High six figures, but still, it's hard to maintain three staffed homes on that pittance. Most of us have had to make painful sacrifices. I've had to put our Palm Beach home on the market, where it's languished with nary the whiff of a decent offer. And don't even get me started on the price of jet fuel. But, as bad as things are, they could be worse.
If Obama wins re-election, our beloved Bush tax cuts will likely expire. You'll hear our critics cry that eliminating those tax cuts on anyone making over $250,000 will reduce the deficit by about a trillion dollars over the next decade. However, remember, that trillion dollars will be coming out of our pockets! And that would only be the beginning...
Obama and the traitorous Warren Buffett have tried to push a new radical rule through that would force anyone making over two million a year to pay at least 30% in taxes. Thanks to our Republican friends in the Senate, that bill was stopped before it could gather any real momentum. Apparently, Obama and Buffett don't know the first rule of economics: All growth starts at the top and trickles down.
With Mitt, not only can we further enrich our way of life, we can take the offensive again! We can roll-back Affordable Healthcare, Medicare and social security, as well as get back to gutting those pesky agencies like the SEC and the EPA. Along with Republican governors and state legislators, we can crush the worker's right to organize, further setting capitalism free to fly unfettered by government restraint. In short, we can get back on track, where George W. Bush left off.
The other side may have the numbers, but we have several advantages. For one thing, our good old friends at the GOP have been busy paving the way on the local level. Requiring photo IDs, reducing early voting periods, and passing restrictions on registration drives will help tamp down voter turn-out. As we all know, democracy is a dangerous business, and the more we whittle down the voters in the bottom 90%, the better off we'll all be.
While we may only be 1% of the population, we control almost 40% of the country's assets! We already own half the nation's stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. If we count the top 10%, we already control 70% of the nation's wealth. So don't let anyone tell you we're the underdogs in this fight. Never before has there been such a concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, with the exception of the late 1920s, a truly golden age for the top 1%.
We also have friends in high places. The Supreme Court has given "the corporation" his much deserved equal rights as a US citizen. Now we are free to contribute unlimited amounts of money to Mitt through Super PACs. You can even make your donations anonymously, so there are no excuses. Several hedge fund managers have already donated $1 million each. Thanks a million guys, literally. Just remember, whatever you put in, you'll be getting back many times over in the years to come.
Our man Mitt is already uniting this country" From penthouses in New York to cattle ranches in Texas to chalets in Colorado to seaside mansions in Florida, there is a groundswell of support across this great land for Mitt, the everyman of the 1%! This is a historic election and it's imperative that we elect someone who will preserve our way of life. Who knows? With Mitt, we may end up owning 100% of all the nation's assets, creating a reservoir of unprecedented wealth that will flow down to everyone else. When Mitt wins, we all win.
