Economics-Budget-102, 10 Year Tax-Breaks To The Rich Dropped, Democrats Budget 2012, Bi-Partisan Super Committee Mandated Budget Cuts, Expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich and everyone else; Republicans won't let Tax Cuts for the Rich Expire or Cut the Military Budget; Off-the-Fiscal-Cliff Strategy Accomplishes Both Objectives; By Teaming Up with Democrats, Republicans can get a tax cut for the middle class after all tax breaks expire, thus they will not be crossing the "Grover Norquist - Americans For Tax Reform Pledge (Libertarian- No Tax, No Regulation, No Min. Wage, No Civilization, All ”Profitization”) and face a big money challenger in their next Congressional Election

"History 1913-2008." ::
Today's income tax rates ...low relative to the rates of the past century, ...rich people. ...top-bracket income tax rates were much higher than they are today. ...super-high tax rates on rich people do not appear to hurt the economy ...the 1950s and early 1960s, the top bracket income tax rate was over 90% - and the economy, middle-class, and stock market boomed.” ::
“..Super-low tax rates on rich people also appear to be correlated with unsustainable sugar highs in the economy - brief, enjoyable booms followed by protracted busts. They also appear to be correlated with very high inequality. (...the 1920s and now). ...Periods of very low tax rates ...followed by periods with very high tax rates, and vice versa.”

Economics-086FFFFFU, Taxes, GOP-Libertarian-Tea, Room Temp I.Q. “Americans for Tax Reform” - Grover Norquist, CEO, {Pledge-to Defund Civilization using Sock Puppet Lawmaker Pledges};
An IRS 501 Org./P.A.C. Political Action Committee Funded by Pre-Tax/Un-Taxed/Federal Tax-Deductable Multinational Corp’s Dollars & Foreign Governments ::
U.S. Legislators, both Federal and State, are asked to take a pledge that Norquist thought up when he was sitting on a short yellow school bus at the age of 12.
 The pledge is to “NEVER RAISE TAXES/NEVER ELIMINATES DEDUCTIONS on Americans, their Family Businesses, or wealth extracting Multinational Corp’s under any “NATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE”… Only Lower Them ::
Americans for Tax Reform Espouses:
1.)  Libertarian Ideology – No Taxes, No Regulations, No Minimum Wage, No Social Security, No Medicare, No Medicaid, No Unemployment Insurance, No Pensions, No Veterans Benefits, {No 20th Century Progress}, No Limits On “Free-{But-Heavily-Fed-Subsidized}-Market” Capitalism, All ”Profitization”/Privatization of Services and Industries, and Very “Limited/Small” Thrifty Not-For-Profit Government Services for Police and Armed Forces …No Civilization, and No Middle Class… just Charles Dickens’ America;
2.)  Tax-Cuts-4-Rich-&-Corp’s => Civilization Cut => Crumbling Infrastructure => AUSTERITY => Social Safety Net Attacks => Fire-Sale On Publically Held Assets => Privatization => Deregulation => Profitization;
3.)  The Flat-Tax/Simplify Federal Tax Code “Shell Game” is a proposition where working Americans and working families need the lowest percentage of taxation to access life’s necessities; profit-charter enabled Millionaires, Billionaires, and the Multinational Corp’s they own are more than happy to convince “motivated working class voters” to “lower everybody’s tax rates,” as rich silver sperm psychopaths scheme to open bigger checks by the pool …convinced that those “legislators they own” by virtual “Kick-Back,” “Pay-To-Play,” and Citizens(Corps) United opponent directed “attack ad” will never allow deduction to “Go Away” for the wealthy and their Corps;

"...economic inequality, says writer Chrystia Freeland. In an impassioned talk, she charts the rise of a new class of plutocrats (those who are extremely powerful because they are extremely wealthy), and suggests that globalization and new technology are actually fueling, rather than closing, the global income gap." “Global Plutocracy …boiled frog phenomenon” ::
(min 03:45) 3 Reasons include: "Political …lower taxes, deregulation particularly of financial services, privatization, weaker legal protections for trade unions ...crony capitalism. …Getting rid of crony capitalism is particularly difficult." ::
(min 05:40) "Globalization & the Technology Revolution, the twin economic transformations... powering the rise of the super-rich." ::
(min 08:40) problem is "…Meritocratic Plutocracy can become Crony Plutocracy.  Amazon, Apple, Google, Starbucks ...adept at working the international tax system so as to lower their tax bill very-very significantly. And why stop... change the rules of the game in your own favor. ...Russian Oligarchs did... sale of the century privatization of Russia's Natural Resources.” ::
(min 10:15) It's one way of describing what happened with the deregulation of financial services in the U.S. and the U.K." ::
(min 11:05) “The Great Gatsby Curve …as income inequality increases, social mobility decreases.  The Plutocracy may be a Meritocracy but you have to be born on the top rung. …3rd thing …forces driving the global plutocracy… hollowing out the middle class in western industrialized economies. …no economic rule which automatically translates increased economic growth into widely shared prosperity.  …Since the late 1990’s, increases in productivity have been ‘decoupled’ from increases in wages and employment.
(min 15:15) “…We need a new ‘New Deal.’”

Economics-086G, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-*MA) Takes 3 CNBC Squawk Newsmaker Anchors to Fact School & drops them off in front of a bus ::
Warren “…pushed for the Consumer Protection Bureau”
“ The Republicans blocked her nomination to become the head of the Consumer Protection Bureau …I’ll go and join you in the Senate.” ::
Her new to Re-institute Glass Steagall, addressing Banking Deregulation & Weak Re-Regulation ::
“What Glass-Steagall (1933) did is really important.  It passed back in 1933. It created a great era of stability in banking.  It separated out the part of the bank where you deposit your money from the part of the bank where they do investment banking and …they (bankers) invest their own money.  Or you can say they (bankers) gamble with their own money.  The reason you separate that out is because you don’t want them gambling with your money. …because the down side is for you and the up side is for them.” ::
“So now when we took Glass-Steagall away, at the end of Bill Clinton’s term by the way (1999), it wound up being an absolute disaster. ::
“Every CNBC Anchor is a lapdog for the banks.” ~ Cenk Uygur
(min 05:28) “But what Glass-Steagall can do is it can wind some more of the risk out of the system.  It can help bring down the size of the largest banking institutions …Now here we are in 2013 and the Big 4 are 30% bigger.  That puts too much risk back in the system.” ::
About passing the bill to re-regulate the Fed hog banks “Let me put for you this way… if you don’t fight for it the chances are zero.” ~ Sen. Warren

__Two Santa Clause Strategy 1974 - Republican Presidents give tax cuts to the Rich and Corporations, run up National Debt and Trade Deficits (while Republican Legislators Do Not speak about debt or deficits).  Then during a Democratic President’s tenure the GOP finds its voice and blames Democrats for creating the debt and deficits.  The strategy works if the lies are repeated often enough (because people generally don’t remember details) and blame is successfully transferred;
__Supply Side Economics, 1976 – A Republican Strategy To Give Power To The Rich and Corporations, enrich Job “Creators”(a D.C. Beltway “think tank” term aimed directly at Christians… you can’t tax gods/Creators) and wait for the Job Creator’s spending to stimulate the economy (But Corporations pursue Profit-Charter Ethics… buying up smaller businesses reducing competition and increasing prices; and ½ of the rich are prolific hoarders who “Invest” in writing legislation & bribing legislators & judges)

“Lower taxes can’t generate more revenue.  Lower taxes generate deficits.” ~ David Stockman
“Four Deformations of the Apocalypse:
1.) Default on obligations under 1944 Bretton Woods agreement to balance our accounts with the world;
2.) Shrugging off public debt;
3.) Deregulation of financial markets and government’s complete abandonment of oversight for the largest ponzi-scheming institutions in the nation’s (and the world’s) history – on taxpayers’ backs;
4.) The off-shoring of high-value jobs in trades, transportation, technology and professions, a sector that’s shrunk from 77 million to 68 million jobs… gain of low-paying jobs.”

U.S. Legislative Br.-(D) Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-*MA)-101, Progressive, Takes 3 CNBC Squawk Newsmaker Anchors to Fact School & drops them off in front of a bus ::
/\/
Click_ Blue_ Links < /\/see Intro_ Quotes_ Credits/\/
Sen. Warren “…pushed for the Consumer Protection Bureau” ::
“ The Republicans blocked her nomination to become the head of the Consumer Protection Bureau …I’ll go and join you in the Senate.” ::
Her new effort to Re-institute Glass-Steagall Act 1933/Banking Act 1935::
“What Glass-Steagall (1933) did is really important.  It passed back in 1933. It created a great era of stability in banking. 
It separated out the part of the bank where you deposit your money from the part of the bank where they do investment banking and …they (bankers) invest their own money.  Or you can say they (bankers) gamble with their own money.  The reason you separate that out is because you don’t want them gambling with your money. …because the down side is for you and the up side is for them.” ::
“So now when we took Glass-Steagall away, at the end of Bill Clinton’s term by the way (1999), it wound up being an absolute disaster. ::
“Every CNBC Anchor is a lapdog for the banks.” ~ Cenk Uygur
(min 05:28) “But what Glass-Steagall can do is it can wind some more of the risk out of the system.  It can help bring down the size of the largest banking institutions …Now here we are in 2013 and the Big 4 are 30% bigger.  That puts too much risk back in the system.” ::
About passing the bill to re-regulate the Fed hog banks “Let me put for you this way… if you don’t fight for it the chances are zero.” ~ Sen. Warren

F.I.S.A – FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE ACT, "a 1978 law permitting the government to spy on correspondence between Americans and foreign individuals." ::

"Wyden, leading the charge to challenge the reauthorization, argues that the 'Senate cannot say that we passed the smell test with respect to vigorous oversight if we don’t have some sense of how many Americans … are being swept up under the legislation.'” ::
“[Wyden] has placed a hold on the bill as he seeks information from the federal authorities, who have told Wyden in the past that they can’t deliver that data [on how many Americans are caught up in the surveillance dragnet]." ::
“Wyden’s amendment would require the NSA to put a number on how many Americans have been affected. …Jeff Merkley, proposed an amendment that would require the secret court that reviews surveillance requests, known as the FISA court, to inform the public when it makes ‘important rulings of law.’” ::
