Do not SUPPORT the fraud and corruption!
By Daniel at 29 November, 2009, 8:39 pm
No one in my family went shopping or bought a thing even though we have plenty of cash and zero debt. Guess how much money I saved? I refuse to do anything to support our corrupt economy, government, PRIVATE central banks or wall street. Until the fraud and corruption is eradicated by taking the above elites to trial and executing them for treason I will do nothing to support them and everything I can do to make sure they get what they deserve for murdering the masses. REVOLT AMERICA!!!
As I’ve stated before, I’m not spending because I’m scared or don’t have a job, I’m not spending because I’m ANGRY!
This message is directed at the truly middle class workers out there. You know who you are. You’ve managed to evade unemployment (My apologizes for those of you who are out of work but have rainy day funds enough to get by. You’ve left the “middle class” and joined the ranks of the poor, your wallet just doesn’t know it yet.) You drive a car that could be repossessed at a moment’s notice if you missed a payment, and you live in a house that is likely worth quite a bit less than you paid for it.
Now I want you all to consider the consequences of what you may or may not be doing this holiday season. Because if you are planning to acquiesce to the “spirit of the season” and go out and spend money you don’t have, on things neither you or your family need when you could very well have some financial emergency to tend to in 2010, please think again. The financial leaders of this nation need a good loud wake-up call. The stock market is already inflating a brand new asset bubble and it needs to be popped before things get much further out of hand. The ONLY way this will happen is if you and the rest of those who are tenuously holding on to a slippery spot on the great southerly moving ice burgh that is middle class America snap your wallet shut and just say “no.” No to the “doorbusters”, no to the”sales,” no to the silly jewelry commercials, and no to the “bargain” big screen TV.
I know, some of you are thinking, “but the little ones, it’s Xmas!” Fine, grab a few cheap toys off the shelves at Big Lots (didn’t we used to call these stores the “5 & dime”?) and put’em under the tree if you must. If your kids are old enough to complain about this, then they are old enough to remember that you’ve probably given them anything they want or need over the course of the year anyway. Hell, if you really think about it, Xmas hasn’t been a big deal for kid’s personal economy since the first Starbucks opened up in your neighborhood.
The fact is, its time to scare the manure out of the hedge fund managers and the rest of the elite investment community in this country. Let them know that unemployment of 10.2% (20% if you omit the fuzzy math used by Washington) means no profits (holiday or otherwise) for ANYONE. They need to realize very quickly that they have pushed the economic tachometer so far into the red that they had better do some preemptive hiring to keep the whole thing from blowing up. BUSINESS NEEDS EMPLOYED CUSTOMERS. And they need to understand that right now. And I mean THIS YEAR. Because if we passively go about our usual routine spending money we don’t have and “making the best of the holidays”, they’ll have bridge-profits to last until the Chinese middle class really gets moving. Once that happens, they won’t need you at all. They won’t need you or ANY middle class American consumer at all. After all, why pander to an American workforce who wants outrageous things like health care, a living wage, overtime, OSHA protections and all the rest of those worker benefits, when they can have CHINESE MIDDLE CLASS CONSUMERS who will still be cowering under the fear of their government but willing to buy cars and TV’s and iPODS from the big multinational companies that really own this world.
Now some of you are going to say, “but without consumer spending even more jobs will be lost!” But the reality is that once the people who control the finances of the world take a step to the edge of economic collapse and look into its ugly gaping maw, they’ll pull back. Hedge fund managers are COWARDS. Bankers are COWARDS. Hey if you don’t believe me just try to get a mortgage or any other kind of credit today. They’ll take one look at the prospect of no big bonus, or worse yet, a stock market loss and say “can’t let THAT happen. No way!
However, if we let them think that this country has adapted to their “new normal” of sky-high unemployment and frozen or falling wages and benefits, then that as they say, will pretty much be that for middle class America. Your employer will own you even more than they already do. And you won’t make so much as a peep if your company raises your health insurance premiums, cuts your wages or eliminates your 401k matching. In fact, you’ll happily do the work of three people while humming the company jingle. Because you will just be happy to have a job. And that will be your legacy, and the legacy of your children for as far as the eye can see.
So put away that cash, you’re going to need it next year for sure anyway. And remember, Xmas may come but once a year, but economic tyranny can last a lifetime.
