Ok, lets get real, trickle down has become trickle up.By Robert Melaccio, sr(28,936) ![]() ![]() Posted Saturday, February 02, 2008 View All Blog Posts submitted by Robert Melaccio, sr I have been talking about the Presidency not being as significant as Congress. Nothing could be more dramatically emphasized then this lame duck President as represented by his State of the Union message. Here we are but a few days later and he just now notices we have a job problem. In fact they all just noticed the problem. Yes, like the National Guard, they all, including the media, just found out. All I can say is "unbelievable", or what else is to be expected? Some fact, a young man sent to an entry level no experience job interview paying $7.00 and hour. Wow, don’t rush down here to this At Will state we call Florida there are plenty to go around. That is if they bother to hire anyone. The man has, a wife and two children. "We will get back to you" is the reply. He and about ten others sent, no one hired. What are they looking for a college grad, someone with a Masters or PHD, or in my opinion they are playing the game? Come Monday, they resubmit the job to the same placement organization that did the screening and sent him and the cycle continues. "Yes, there are plenty of jobs for those who want them", right? In my opinion it speaks to America today and there is no need to expand on that. Here is another. The Governor of this At Will state, Florida, a really nice man, is hoping gambling will be his budgets saving grace. Why revenue is down. Does that say something about jobs? They need to depend on revenue from gambling, as if average Americans have the dollars to throw into slot machines. Oh, I forgot the poor are the biggest gamblers as defined by income. Yes, hope is eternal. Yes, America and this state needs good jobs, stay here jobs to ever come out of this and frankly, these politicians in my opinion have killed the Golden Goose and they are scrambling to get out from under. Yes, trickle down has become trickle up. So who will turn this around? In my prior article I stated the battle ground is Congress and I believe that. After all just what are the choices left for President? Yes, the one who really can bring back the good jobs, the stay home jobs? Well if you believe the minority that is voting in these primaries what can anyone say? This is not a beauty contest, this is supposed to pick the capable leader of the free world. Many are talking about a third party candidate but frankly who? Unless they can come up with some dynamic well known business or leader type all Americans like and a solid running mate they will choose someone very few of us know. Most likely they will have that same Free Market mentality that got us where we are now and these candidates are all espousing blatantly as the answer. GONG! Tell it to the Governor of Florida who is a Free Market guy and who still hasn’t understood what the word Allstate really means. Also, these third parties are all fragmented and fighting amongst themselves, with limited funds they will not enter the fray until way later in the year. Too late in my opinion. So multiple parties, multiple factions, multiple ideology can only produce at best case possible changes in Congress and that is where the focus must be. Now that leaves the other two major parties. As for me I know who the Republicans represent and that is not in my opinion for me or any average American, regardless of what they preach. If any average Americans thinks so then in my opinion they are not average.
The Republicans were the party of Reagan and his trickle down economics, which in my opinion is no longer if in fact it ever was? The Republicans or whatever they now call themselves have reversed that to what is now which I see as keep all we have and now trickle up.
So just what options are left? Well if we exclude third parties I guess what we have is Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama. Do they mean well? Well putting personalities aside I think they do have more to offer average Americans then any Republican. Now that is my opinion because I haven’t seen anything these Republicans have done for average people. Their own kind maybe, but not average families, have you? Now keep in mind I am speaking average Americans. Those making $50,000 combined income a year and under.
So, like it or not I truly believe these Democrats have more compassion about people. Yet, I do not agree with some of their ideology that they have repeatedly talked to and demonstrated by deed that they support. In fact my belief is they are offering Socialism, which if we really think about it we have had anyway and as a movie line goes, that’s a fact Jack. So I must bypass on both as well if I am to be a person of conviction, because while they might talk the talk I haven’t in my opinion seen them walk the walk.
In either case the fact that if we average Americans deliver even the smallest shift in Congress, changing the House and Senate with independents and those more favorable to average American and national values, we will have shaken the tree. So my fellow Americans while I hope for a good third party candidate reality says it will not happen. No and unless average Americans turn out to vote these incumbents out in my opinion we will get more of the same with some added flavorings. I think, many will just stay home and leave it to that minority. So to emphasize this, here is a sad commentary witnessed on a local news channel.
An average American man, laid off, losing his home, in debt up to his eye balls, losing everything and he and his wife are voting "conservative" or so they think and Republican. This is how they made this crucial choice, "they have always voted that way as mom and pa did". Now that my good friends sums it all up. God help America because we are way past blessings, we actually need a laying on of hands.

Whether money is trickling up from the poor or trickling down to the poor, it is still only a trickle and the poor remain poor. Is there no other way a free market's economy might work? Leave a Public Comment or Question: Immigration part 2, Demagog or good Samaritan? Military Spending is the shortest way to increase profits and jobs. The New World Order and how nations fit. Does that say it all? The issue of stay here good jobs part 2. Immigration Solution, you decide? Part 3. We the people of the United States says it all. |
