The Tax & Spend Machine Takes Over

At least two years after most sentient Americans have known what the ruling class has been perpetrating upon us, S&P has declared that the spending gig is over. But has the machine taken over? Has the devil’s pact between the redistribution demagogues, the elites of academia, Hollywood, and the media who spread the propaganda, the crony capitalists who collude with the state, and the takers of society who re-elect their benefactors—overwhelmed us?

Like Hal in this haunting scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, perhaps the machine cannot be turned off.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001 espouses a fear of technology, a common theme in Hollywood. Yet America’s greatest threat turns out not to be technology, but man’s nature. Control disguised as altruism. Envy & greed disguised as fairness. We knew that self government—a constitutional Republic—was an experiment; even a long shot.

Can America’s only hope, the media-vilified Tea Party, beat the machine? Real working families—not the union bums cheered for by Obama and ordered by Trumka to wreak havoc—but working men and women who pull their own weight under the crushing burden of the machine, have woken up and ordered Hal to stop. Ordered the machine to stop spending.

“I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that…this mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it”.

Will we be able to pull the plug on spending?

AARP Sells Out Members for a Billion Dollar ObamaCare Kickback

AARP has taken the art of wealth redistribution to a new level. Take from the old, as in $500 billion in Medicare cuts that AARP pushed for in its stalwart support of Obamacare, and give to—you guessed it—AARP, in the form of a cool billion dollars it stands to gain from the legislation.

But in this age of increased awareness of government corruption, where the old media no longer controls the narrative, the sheer audacity of AARP’s appalling behavior is not going unnoticed. Mike Flynn of BIG GOVERNMENT writes all about it here and you can read the report released today by the House Ways and Means Committee.

The extent to which AARP has been aligned with Obamacare—in direct opposition to the interests of its members—has shamed the organization, done irreparable damage to its once strong brand, and has even raised legal questions as to its tax exempt status.
