The world is so full of a number of things
This year’s was not about taxes per se. Insisting April fifteenth was only about taxes makes the protesters seem petty, which is why critics kept doing it. Protesters are worried about unchecked government growth and spending, issues skirted like Tom Shillue defending Janeane Garafalo’s calling the protesters racists. He ignored her claim that everyone participating is clinically insane. Nothing imbalanced about that. “She is asked to give her opinion on TV because she is blunt and opinionated,” Shillue wrote. I thought it was because she wears her ignorance like a sweatshirt and Olbermann has an identical garment.
Distorted coverage is the problem. In the “Daily Show” segment, Oliver got one protester to admit that while he voted, no one represents him. Presumably, his candidate lost, although many participants were disillusioned Obama voters. Inevitably omitted is neither nominal party addressing middle-class concerns, which is why millions never vote. What’s the point? The Demo-Republicrat Party make rules to shut out independents and dissenters. That’s why Americans from Ralph Nader to Ron Paul believe the election system needs real reform, not the sort initiated by those in office.
Speaking of which, remember 2000’s outrage at Florida’s voting process, which was not atypical. Politicians vowed to fix the systemic problems, yet today in Minnesota Al and Norm are still battling over who won as senator. Ballots are disqualified for obscure reasons, numerous “errors” occur. If your ballot may be discounted, why vote? Counting ballots seems like child’s play, probably why states are unable to master it.
Re: representation. Bush promoted corporate bailouts, so does Obama. The Ruling Party candidates talk about cutting spending and waste, and talking is all they do. That’s why the big anti-big government movement will keep growing.
Government can’t conduct fair elections and can’t provide security. Hackers broke into Defense Department computers, downloading top secrets. “The US has no single government or military office responsible for cyber security,”
according to the Wall Street Journal. Music companies have no trouble pinpointing persons music pirates, but the Pentagon can’t figure out where have all their secrets gone.Maybe there’s no cyber security department, but some group must be responsible for the computers. Surely they have heard of security, even if it’s just changing passwords frequently, monitoring suspicious log-ins and using firewall software. Defense claim there were 18,050 cyber-security breaches last year, with no response. It would be like ignoring signs of terrorists training to fly into buildings. To be fair, the government couldn’t keep secrets long before computers.
The Federal government is an organisation that will say they can’t locate several billion dollars, but it’s not a problem, the money will probably show up. Or devises a $700 billion TARP that may eventually cost $3 trillion. They can always rename it TRAP.
Taxpayers were told most of the TARP money would be returned, which few adults believed. Now Tim Geithner seems reluctant to accept repayments. It’s as if he is more interested in controlling the banks than protecting the taxpayers.
All of which go to show Janeane Garofalo is a tool.
