Sociopathic Animals Do Not Change Their Stripes

The company Kerr-McGee has been fined five billion dollars for dumping toxic waste.  This is the same company that was responsible for the death of Karen Silkwood in the 70s.   For those who don't know,  Karen Silkwood was an American chemical technician and labor union activist and was known for raising concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety of workers and the environment at a nuclear facility.  She worked at the Kerr-McGee Fuel Fabrication plant in Oklahoma and was going to turn over documents confirming her findings to a NY Times reporter when she died in a mysterious automobile crash.  Many contribute her death to the fact that she had uncovered large amounts of nuclear grade Plutonium missing.  It seems The Crazies, who else, was illegally selling the Plutonium to Israel who was making nuclear weapons.   Now 40 years later, Kerr-McGee is found dumping toxic waste.


In other news, it has been reported that not only is the wealth of top 1% is increasing rapidly, but the wealth of the super rich, the top 0.1% is increasing at an unbelievable rate.  If you look at the Forbes richest people you will find amerikans like Bill Gates saw his wealth increase by almost 40% in the past couple of years and Warren Buffet has had his wealth increase by almost 30% over the same time period.  Not bad.  I'm using those two men as examples because 1) they fall in the top 0.1%, 2)wealth information is readily available for them, and 3) both men are well know to most people.  But the message is clear, the richer you are, the faster your wealth is increasing while the wealth of working class amerikans is decreasing.


So conservatives want to cut taxes for the wealthy to promote job growth.  You have to be kidding me.  Consumption of consumable goods promotes economic growth in a consumer based economy and working class people spend a much larger percentage of their income on consumable items than do the wealthy.  The wealthy buy assets and invest in gold, silver, land and other non-consumable assets.  And if they do invest in job creation, they do it in foreign countries not in the US.


Income redistribution has been going on for over 30 years and it has been in one direction, upward.  I don't know how you stop it, let alone reverse it but the trend and the elitist, fascist mentality is very disturbing.


There is a series of videos which clearly show how the elitist, with help from psychiatrists and The Crazies have worked continuously for decades to enslave working class amerikans.  More about that in future posts.
