Why the American Middle Class Must Disappear...Lessons from Chile

A friend of mine once said, that "America is about to change in the most profound way..." He said this back in the 1980's when I was still too young to understand what he meant. But then a radical plan was proposed from the Chicago school of economic theory that proved him correct. I think he knew this was coming. His experience was from Chile.

When we compare his experience to what we see in America today there is very little difference.

Of all the sources Greg Palast sums the situation up the very best, an alumni of Chicago and student of Milton Friendman he gives us a rare insight into the mechanics of globalization that we see around us in America today: http://www.gregpalast.com/tinker-bell-pinochet-and-the-fairy-tale-miracle-of-chile-2

My friend Ty Anders over at FSU lays the reality of the American situation bare here: http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/andros/2007/0524.html

Not only do all of our economic theories and laws in current practice come from Chicago, but so too our zoning and the "other laws" and regulatory apparatus.

So will America change in a fundamental way? Yes. I want to say thanks to all the people in Chicago for all the hard work they have done in the deconstruction of American social life, political freedom and economic muscle. Your genocidal plans are working. Maybe it will create an Uber Chicago School society who will use the same policies on you.

Hats off to RSmitty over at Delaware Politics for explaining why this plan and system were made possible: http://delawarepolitics.net/2008/03/06/congressional-schedule/

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
