The guy who wants to raise taxes has breakfast with a the guy who doesn’t pay them
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says the system is rigged, and that the rich and powerful don’t pay their share in taxes.
Since Sanders is desperate to get support from black voters, he is meeting with Al Sharpton.
Never mind the fact that Sharpton doesn’t pay HIS fair share in taxes. His businesses reportedly owe $4 million + in taxes.
Yes, the system is rigged in favor of Al Sharpton.
And by reaching out to Sharpton, Bernie Sanders proves he is just another corrupted politician
Pay attention to this, because as Monday’s Iowa caucus on the Democrat side shows there are an awful lot of people whose brains are poisoned with Marxist thinking – and American culture and education are rapidly descending into a socialist point of view from which only disaster can result. When Bernie Sanders gets 70 percent of the youth vote in the Democrat Iowa caucus, it’s a problem.
Here’s the meme…
This issue is not a new one. Here was Margaret Thatcher, taking questions in the British Parliament on this precise topic some 26 years ago. At the end of her time as prime minister, she caught a question from a socialist MP from the Labor Party about the increasing gap between rich and poor. And knocked it straight out of the park…
Another way to describe this phenomenon is as follows – the rich, generally speaking, will always make money. They’re rich, in large measure, because they have the skill of moneymaking – either they know how to invest money wisely, they ply a lucrative trade, they own assets which turn out large amounts of revenue, or what have you.
And no matter how awful the economy might be, they will continue to do well. If society collapses and we descend into something out of the Mad Max movies, there will be some enterprising opportunist who will find a water well or an oil derrick somewhere, defend it with guns and make a comfortable living selling his water or oil to those passing by.
For the rest of us, who don’t have great skill in accumulating wealth, it is necessary for a vibrant, growing economy to exist so that we might get ahead. Some of us might become rich off the bountiful opportunities that economy provides, while more of us might become middle and upper-middle class. Others may never acquire the skills or resources to achieve social mobility and better themselves – but that is even more true in a moribund socialistic economy than it is in a vibrant, growing capitalist one.
And history shows that the vibrant, growing capitalist economy is the one in which people volunteer their time and money toward helping those less fortunate. The generation of surplus – whether in goods, services or money – is the key to advancing the cause of the poor. And in a comfortable society the voluntary sharing of that surplus, combined with the conditions of incentive making the sharing of that surplus a good investment – meaning that those helping the less fortunate aren’t just giving a man a fish but insisting on teaching him to fish – is what makes for fewer poor and less of them.
That is a just and honorable society, and not one based in envy.
So the real question is, do you favor the forced redistribution of wealth from those who have the skills and resources to improve their lot to those who lack those skills or their application, or don’t you? If you do, you’re a socialist and you’re part of the problem.
Veterans are being arrested by the Secret Service for making anti-Obama Facebook posts, sometimes the very next day after creating a post – a practice which has been going on for quite some time.
All the while, our police force is being militarized at an alarming rate, with veterans being cited as one reason why. This is revealed in a statement made last month by Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County, Ind. Sheriff’s Department, he stated “The weaponry is totally different now that it was in the beginning of my career, plus, you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build IEDs and to defeat law enforcement techniques.”
DHS has specific programs to silence veterans, such as Operation Vigilant Eagle, which was started in 2009. See more on this program below.
We’ve seen the Washington Timesreport on a memo detailing Obama’s plan to use the military against citizens. Of course strategically it makes sense that in any such war, the first targets would be those who can defeat local law enforcement, organize others into field-ready teams, and train the other patriots in the finer points of combat: our veterans.
In the four years since the start of Operation Vigilant Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to “silence” dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds. Coupled with the DHS’ dual reports on Right-wing and Left-wing “Extremism,” which broadly define extremists as individuals and groups “that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely,” these tactics have boded ill for anyone seen as opposing the government.
One particularly troubling mental health label being applied to veterans and others who challenge the status quo is “oppositional defiance disorder” (ODD). As journalist Anthony Martin explains, an ODD diagnosis
“denotes that the person exhibits ‘symptoms’ such as the questioning of authority, the refusal to follow directions, stubbornness, the unwillingness to go along with the crowd, and the practice of disobeying or ignoring orders. Persons may also receive such a label if they are considered free thinkers, nonconformists, or individuals who are suspicious of large, centralized government… At one time the accepted protocol among mental health professionals was to reserve the diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder for children or adolescents who exhibited uncontrollable defiance toward their parents and teachers.”
The case of 26-year-old decorated Marine Brandon Raub—who was targeted because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called “conspiratorial” views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for standing by his views, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys—is a prime example of the government’s war on veterans.
Raub’s case exposes the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that is targeting Americans—especially military veterans—for expressing their discontent over America’s rapid transition to a police state.
Obama Strips Requirement: Immigrants No Longer Have To Pledge To Defend The USA For Citizenship
The Obama administration has decided to remove the lines from the oath to become an American citizen requiring new citizens to bear arms on behalf of the United States or perform noncombatant duties in the armed forces in times of war. Newly naturalized Americans will no longer have to pledge to defend the USA if they choose to opt out.
As luck would have it, Johnny had something to say to people that want to protest by burning the American Flag… “We’ve also got a right to bear arms and if you burn my flag, I’ll shoot ya.”
Oh yeah, this is classic Johnny!
The video is below and it might be a little grainy, but it is sure worth the five minutes to give it a look…
I wonder how Johnny would feel about good ole’ Obama trying to take his guns away?
My guess is he would say, “Come and Take It!”
I really needed this today Johnny, because it’s been a tough one. Thanks for getting me back on track!

Video from AUG 13, 2015 Obama Classmate: He Was A Lying, Drug Using, Homosexual Foreigner
Article Published November 17, 2013 on Examiner.com
Mia Marie Pope, who was a high school friend of Barack Obama (aka Barry Soetoro) in Hawaii during the 1970s, says that Obama identified himself as a foreigner in high school and was known as a crack-smoking homosexual, Western Journalism reported.
Claims by Mia Marie Pope, a childhood friend of President Obama.
Pope spoke candidly about her experiences with Obama in Hawaii during the late ‘70s in part one of an interview with Jeff Rense earlier this week. Pope revealed even more eye-opening information about the mysterious past of Barack Obama. A past that many people believe has been carefully hidden from public view.
Rumors of Obama’s homosexuality have persisted for years, and Pope claims to have direct knowledge of Obama’s teen lifestyle, which she says included exchanging sexual favors for cocaine. Obama, or “Barry,” as she knew him, was openly homosexual, Pope says.
“Barry just had, almost had, just like a little bit of a disdain almost (towards females),” Pope told Rense, “and it was like there was nothing on a girl’s body that was of any interest to this guy.”
Pope also addressed rumors that the wedding ring worn by Obama is not actually a wedding ring, but that he “has been wearing it for over 30 years, and it has Arabic writing on it. You can find it on YouTube, so you don’t have to take my word for it. Just put it in the search box, ‘Barack Obama, No God but Allah,’ and ask about the ring.”
Pope also talked about Obama’s propensity to lie with Rense. Pope says Obama was a pathological liar. Given the endless string of lies we have heard from him over the course of his five years in office, Pope’s claim isn’t hard to believe.
“I will tell you that [he lied] so often, and it was always some self-aggrandizing thing. Some egocentric, you know, ‘everybody’s stupid, Barry’s the only smart one.’ It was always some outlandish, nonsensical thing.”
Obama has also been reported to have a quick temper. A New York Times report last week described the president as ‘seething’ over the disastrous ObamaCare rollout. That report said that Obama called for an Oval Office meeting with senior staff members that one aide called “an unsparing dressing down.”
Pope says she witnessed that temper first-hand. “He’s got a temper,” she told Rense, “Barry will size you up, take some inventory, if you’re useful, if there’s something he wants to get off you…then he puts the game on. If he gets what he wants from you, then he’s done with you.”
“But there’s other times,” Pope continued, “where he’s trying to run a game, and then we’d blurt in, ‘shut up, Barry, stop lying,’ and we’re ruining his little short con that he’s trying to work, he’s got a temper.”
Describing his persona, Pope describes Obama as “narcissistic.” She also told Rense, “He’s a shell. He’s a walking fictional character.”
Pope goes into detail about these subjects and more in her interview with Rense.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (a pro-gun state, for the record) said on an episode of NBC’s “Meet The Press” that “we need to make sure that certain types of guns used to kill people, exclusively, not for hunting, they should not be sold in the United States of America.”
“Coming from a rural state, I think I can communicate with folks coming from urban states where guns mean different things than they do in Vermont where it’s used for hunting,” he said.
Calling for a ban on all firearms “used to kill people” and “not for hunting” implies a ban on all guns, period.
More recently, Sanders appeared on the same show on 1/17 and touted his vote to “ban assault weapons” in 1988. He claimed to have rethought certain aspects of that legislation but never rescinded his viewpoint on banning firearms.
Liberals have recently demanded more anti-gun rhetoric from Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate’s shift to the far-left on this issue is likely an attempt to placate to his party’s core voters as the 2016 election quickly approaches.
