Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Jobs and Taxes We demand a living wage for all workers in America and object to attempts to establish a flat tax because of the comparative value of one dollar to one's total capital. We insist on closing tax loopholes for the wealthiest people and corporations, and support tax incentives for corporate programs with substantial public benefit. America must find a way to increase manufacturing exports since service jobs add less to the economy in the long term. We support a shorter, smarter work-week for all Americans.

Free enterprise and free will did not cause this problem. In fact, more of the opposite: an entrenched corporate management culture has strangled the great horses of our productivity in barbed chains from which they bleed the labor and ingenuity of the common American. If colossal failure should result in corporatist fascism, they think they will do well, having cashed out a lot of paper money into gold, guns and loyalty. If colossal failure should result in real socialism, they'll be the first to play the opposite card to try to be the next "horseman."
Ben Bernanke should be fired. The depreciating process of "socialism for the wealthy" should be ended, credit should become expensive for bad bets, and dysfunctional companies in America should be allowed to fail.
These robber barons would like you to believe that would mean socialism, that if they can't raid the coffers of G.M. and G.E. anymore, then the entire concept of America and a free way of life is at risk. Bollocks.
To recover, besides public works projects of greater vision, like the Northwest Aqueduct or sea-floating algae farms to produce fuel and increase fish stocks, the U.S. would provide massive increases in funding to American citizens through the Small Business Administration to enable everyday citizens to restructure corporate America from the ground up.
We believe in ourselves and what we can do when we work together, even if a lot of us see things different ways, even if some of us ain't too bright, we all know that if everyone were empowered to help each other in America, we'd hardly have any problems at all, and we could get onto those pie shops in the sky.
Instead, we hold ourselves captive, by believing, often only subconsciously, that either one is a Master or a Slave, that the flow of money somehow determines and quantizes psychological dominance, and that somehow that dominance equates with happiness.
As a result, we can never realize that better life, and we go on borrowing to support our habit. Ben Bernanke is like a heroin dealer, whispering in our ear to buy just one more hit, or like a man in a nice suit in a casino who whispers the suggestion to bet it all, and you forget he lent you your starting bet.
Fire Bernanke. Send the fat cats and con-brokers packing. It has to be done eventually, so we should get through that painful process before we fritter away more borrowed money.
Senate should fire Bernanke
This Thursday, the Senate will probably rubber-stamp Ben Bernanke's tenure as the Man Who Sold The World for another year, the last of perhaps a few years that a failed set of companies can be kept on life support.Free enterprise and free will did not cause this problem.
