   Mitt Romney made a lot of money, has a lot of money, and spends a lot of money campaigning. Now we know he also once posed with money. Romney at Bain Capital creating wealth by breaking up businesses though asset sales.. Blessed be the 1%.

   JOBS! JOBS!! JOBS!!! The chant from the people and a promise from an impotent government and pie in the sky Republicans continues. Obviously this collective cry glosses over the fact that 75% of our economy is consumer driven. As the consumer spends less and less the need for goods and services lessens creating an atmosphere of cutbacks and layoffs. Couple the downsizing of industry the flight of business to 3rd world countries only exacerbates the problem. Not to go into a litany of problems and causes I wish to state one thought that continues to drive my logic. Business is profit driven not a civic responsibility. When we in America are willing to compete on a level playing field with foreign cheap labor and government subsidized capitalism things might change. Are you willing to work 12 hour days, 6 day work weeks, $10 a day wages, no unions, no benefits, shall I go on with this list??. Industry as we know it from those heady days of World War II through the late sixties are over and will never return. I’m not doom and gloom as it may appear but a dialog and not political dogma must be on the table to at least attempt to solve this dilemma. Americans must realize we all sink or swim together.

   I’ve watched every Republican debate televised and have come to the conclusion “There’s trouble in River City” If these candidates are representative of what America has to offer up as a candidate for the Republican nomination, pack your bags! I have been voting almost 50 years and the mantra remains the same. They believe in States Rights they forget the first Republican, Abraham Lincoln fought a war against States Rights before Emancipation was ever considered. Privatization is the goal at every opportunity. The aim is to take the decision making out of the average citizens hand and deliver it to the “Puppet Masters” (Corporate Interests/Mega Donors) the Big Boys who really pull the strings. Do I have to mention Xenophobia and the Unter Mensch coming to take your every last hope and dream. They wear the Flag and if you Disagree your a Socialist, Rabble, Lazy, Welfare Grappling, Non-Believer, Elitist, Liberal.

   Listening to some of the questions asked by the hand picked audiences it was without a doubt taken from Sound Bites delivered by this pack of wannabees. “Tell a Lie enough and the people will believe” Here is a quick story I was told several days ago by a Wise Thinker.

   The Monkey and the Organ Grinder, Remember them?
   The crowd stood and watched with glee as the children asked the parents for a coin to give the Monkey. They handed the Coin and the Monkey tipped his Hat and pocketed the coin. “The Crowd Screamed With Delight” A man in the crowd took out a Dollar Bill and placed it before the Monkey. This intelligent Monkey trained for this spectacle reached out a GRABBED the Dollar waving it in the air and tipped his Hat Twice and pocketed the Dollar. The Audience went wild and the Dollars poured in.

   The moral:
   The foolish crowd gave up there money with absolute glee and the Organ Grinder Got The Cash! Ta! Da!
   That’s The Republican Philosophy…
