The following was written in response to a Forbe's article about "The Reluctant Billionaire" about a greed-filled parasite Jeff Greene. The link to that article is http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/1006/266.html.

GREED IS NOT ENOUGH: THE PHILOSOPHY OF REPUBLICANISM

When I was working for $1 an hour at a service station when I was fourteen, I realized that those who produced the least got paid the most, and those who produced the most got paid the least. Let me repeat that "Those who produce the least get paid the most, while those who produce the most get paid the least". - Copyright LS Rolirad 1965

What I said as a 14 year old still holds true today, except that in today's world, which is filled with wanton greed and excess, what I said is even more true now. Those who produce the most are at the bottom of the economic ladder, while those who produce the least own almost 99 percent of the nation's wealth. This is obscenely wrong. It's morally wrong. It's ethically wrong. And it is wrong by any standard of fairness you want to apply.

But those in the republican party seem to actually worship those with the most money, actually believing they deserve every dime they have as if they are geniuses, visionaries, and even 'god-like'. Republicans believe that those with money matter, while those who are poor do not. Republicans believe that those who are poor are poor because they lack the genius, ingenuity and drive that billionaires have. Hogwash. Those who have the most money are people like who is the subject of this article. A person who is nothing more than a parasite who picked the bones off of the flesh of the housing market.

Republicans believe in 'Trickle-Down Economics' which has never worked. They believe that if the superrich get even more money they lay in the beds at night tossing and turning trying to think of new ways to build new US factories and hire new American workers. Hogwash again. They do the opposite. They fire US workers and ship their businesses oversees to use slave and child labor. They also take their businesses out of the US so they can avoid complying with environmental laws, so they go to undeveloped countries and pollute at will, maiming or killing hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting poor people. The rich have no regard for other human beings. They are consumed with their riches.

Republicans believe millionaires and billionaires immediately turn around all of the money they receive so it trickles down to the rest of society. Hogwash again and again. The money they get to keep with lower taxes like the idiotic Bush and Reagan tax cuts was horde by the superrich. Do republicans actually think that the superrich buy more toilet paper, soap and bread when they get a multi-million dollar windfall in extra money? Republicans must still believe the world is flat and the moon is made of cheese.

I repeat: "Those who produce the least in the world get paid the most". The thug highlighted in this article is just another middle man who hasn't produced one positive thing for another human being or society, yet he is being rewarded with riches hard working people could never dream of. What this parasite has done is what 'short sellers' in the stock market do when they bet that companies fail. They are the same kind of people who would stand outside of a terminal ward of a hospital and bet on when a patient will die, hoping it will be very soon. This guy is nothing but a parasite who feeds off of the misery of others and who hasn't produced one positive thing for the world.

But republicans believe that people who have the most money are 'god-like' and deserve all of the money they make. Trickle Down Economics has never worked. The rich horde their money and they couldn't care less about the welfare of those who work hard for a living, like teachers, policemen, firemen and the like. We need to have 99 percent taxation so that thugs like this parasite can't live off of the demise of others. He is nothing but a vulture and a parasite. Yet these are traits republicans seem to admire and respect. Their entire political philosophy is based on the rich getting richer, and to hell with the poor and middle classes. The republican platform is an enemy of the middle class and with every law republicans pass it is like one more dagger into the heart of the middle class and the poor.

Yet, even with the almost sociopathic positions that attack people daily republicans still claim to be the 'party of 'god'. Good grief. How can anyone believe the nonsense from the republican party? How can anyone with a brain continue to allow themselves to be brainwashed by such blatant propaganda? It is obvious most people do not think. Republicans who blindly support their party are not capable of thinking beyond a thirty second soundbite. They are ignorant of the issues and the candidates. They act like robots all marching in lockstep to the polls to pull a crank to elect only republicans regardless of how qualified they are or even if they are under federal indictment as the Alaskan Senator Stevens is. Republicans only care about what is good for their party and to hell with what is good for the United States and Americans. Because of that they are the greatest enemy our country has faced in its history. Republicanism is no longer a political party, but rather a disease worse than Ebola.

Ninety-nine percent of the people will never get further than the first few lines of my article. Republicans have extremely short attention spans and very low IQs, preventing them from getting this far into my article. It is unfortunate our country's leaders are decided by such ignorance and stupidity.

Those who are intelligent, honest and who have true vision will never be elected in this country. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt or Franklin Roosevelt would never be elected today because of the way they looked, spoke, of if they had an extramarital affair. It is sad that ignorance and illiteracy determines today's leaders, not their qualifications, intellect, inspiration, or ability.

True national treasures, like Ralph Nader who can speak for three hours without a note or a teleprompter with no handlers feeding him information will never get elected, because the corporate-controlled media, and the two corrupt major political parties continually destroy any chance for anyone in a third party to have a chance. Even though only 15 percent of the country are truly democrats and 15 percent are republicans that leaves 70 percent in the middle without a voice. That is why at least 50 percent of the people stay at home on election days. They know they have no viable candidates to vote for. Because of this our once great country is doomed to future of mediocre and inept thugs like the GW Bush, who arguably can't read, write or speak on a third grader's level. It's sad our country has fallen so far and the people have become so ignorant and stupid.

Wake up people and start to think, for a change.

PROOF SARAH PALIN is a LIAR!!!

Sarah Palin is a LIAR. She LIED when she said SHE cancelled the 'bridge to nowhere'. She lied again when she said she would never accept any federal money and that if Alaskans wanted a bridge they would pay for it themselves. All LIES. Alaska takes more federal money than any other state in the country per capita. And on top of that every resident of Alaska gets a huge check from the government every year. Last year it was a whopping $2,066. Palin LIED when she said all Alaskans are independent and do not count on others for support, but NOT ONE ALASKAN refused to take that $2,066 check. Even Sarah Palin took the money and ran.

Sarah Palin LIED when she said she has foreign policy experience just because Alaska is close to Russia. How idiotic! How could any person with a brain believe such nonsense? Are all repubilcans stupid and gullible?

Sarah Palin LIED when she said she refused the money from the 'bridge to nowhere' because she kept all $398,000,000.00 of that federal money. Sarah Palin is a LIAR.

But republicans seem to love liars. They LOVE the evil, corrupt and inept GW Bush even after he deliberately and premeditatively lied to go to war against a country which never threatened the US, which never had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks, which never had anything to do with Al Quaeda, which never had any abiltity to strike the US 'within 45 minutes in the form of a mushroom cloud' as every thug in the Bush Regime LIED ABOUT OVER AND OVER.

When are republicans going to start to think and act like Americans instead of zombies who only care about their corrupt and evil political party? I am an independent and I am sick of the gross ignorance of republicans and the religious right. The greatest danger to our country is not from any outside force, or terrorists. The greatest danger to our country is the republican party.

In 2000 GW Bush said "Businesses MUST be allowed to regulate themselves!". According to what Bush said and what republicans believe there would be NO REGULATIONS on businesses. If repubicans had their way there would be a corrupt Enron on every Main Street in America. The financial mess our country is in now is because of lack of regulation because for the last 7 1/2 years Bush and the republican party have been shoving through law after law erasing regulations wherever they find them. They are giving our country away to corrupt businessmen who are making billions while the average worker is getting screwed.

Wake up people and start to think. Republicanism no longer resembles a political party. It is more like a fatal disease worse than Ebola.
