The Generational War Obama Doesn’t Have the Guts To Point Out

|

If Paul Ryan had merely proposed to keep federal taxes the same, rather than cutting them, and had proposed to reduce old age benefits for all Americans, not increase them for today’s seniors and cut them for those under 55, I might have something good to say about the Romney/Ryan ticket. But instead Ryan is little more than a panderer to Generation Greed, once again promising the better off lower taxes and the non-poor richer benefits with all the associated costs shifted to younger generations. He is another in a long line of careerist frauds.

So why doesn’t President Obama say so? Why doesn’t he highlight the Republican way of victory over the past 30-plus years, selling out the future and those who will live in it on behalf of the most selfish generations in American history? Why doesn’t he take this opportunity, win or lose, to ensure that no one under 55 (if they bother to show up) votes for a Republican at the national level ever again? Two words – Walter Mondale. Since he promised to raise taxes and cut spending to reduce the deficit, no Democrat has dared to stand up for the future of this country. Instead they have sought to get a few more of the benefits for their yuppie and public employee union constituents, at the expense of the people they pretend to represent, while hoping to avoid the blame in the end. If Obama would highlight the generational inequities not only of the Ryan plan but also of the past 30 years, I would vote for him enthusiastically. But he dares not, because he leads a Generation Greed-run party pandering to Generation Greed benefitting interests.

The Gateway (West Bollywood Edition)

As I write this (or first did on Facebook) “Pal Joey” is on TCM, playing in the background and I can't help thinking how much cooler Richard Rogers was when Lorenz Hart was doing his lyrics instead of Oscar Hammerstein.

Urban Gun Violence-Seabrook and Carter on the Radio Friday

|

Hope you can join us Friday Morning at 11:00 AM on WWRL Radio. 

I will be appearing on the radio show of correction officer union president Norman Seabrook.  We will discuss the Presidential Race, Labor Politics, and of course the gun violence griping NY City and America.

As many of you already know, and have heard it, Seabrook even has a radio commercial out on the gun violence, and that it's time to stop this ridicious campaign of not cooperating with Law Enforcement.

Folks we owe it to every toddler, child, teenager, and adult to bring about Change.
