DYING LYING GOP HATES THE POOR SOON RICH TO FUND UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME   

“I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves, won’t lift a finger and expect the federal government to do everything.” 

                                                                      -Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) on Republicans led by the great beloved GOP leader Trump two months ago not renewing CHIP which long has provided healthcare for over nine million of the neediest U.S. children and does not cost "billions and billions and trillions of dollars."


“I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing, as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies.”   

                                                   - Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on why the estate tax exemption should either be doubled not taxing the first $22.4 million per couple (Senate version) or just eliminated altogether with no estate tax at all no matter how rich someone is (House version) Senator Grassley apparently so used to flat out lying like other Republicans led by great beloved GOP leader Trump that he expects anyone to take his deranged assertion seriously that ordinary Americans who last year had a median household income of $59,000 are at fault for not at end of life passing on estates worth $22.4 million or more per couple only because those ordinary Americans are not investing but instead spending all their working lifetimes blowing "every darn penny" after paying all living expenses from that $59,000 median yearly household income "on booze or women or movies."



GOP SENATOR JOHN CORNYN BONA FIDE TEXAS IDIOT READ THIS FANTASYLAND BS


                                                                - Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) of the Texas Republican voter suppression abuse of power gerrymandered stranglehold racketeering influenced corrupt organization GOP (Texas branch) finally shows he actually can do something other than comb his hair and stand silent at Mitch McConnell's shoulder. Unfortunately for Cornyn his contribution of one less-than-worthless tweet is just one more exhibit that Cornyn is another rotten lying Republican, a complete moron, has lapsed into dementia, Alzheimer's, and/or senility or a combination of some or all of the above. As Economics Nobel Prize Professor Paul Krugman references Cornyn's totally misleading tweet that not even most any moron would put out except an idiot Texas Republican who could not care less or was too stupid to know what hard evidence he was leaving contributing to his own legacy of mindless mean dishonesty:  "Yes, just your ordinary family that owns two businesses accounting for 40% of its income."

       Tuesday, 5 November 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The thoroughly nauseating Republican Party of confessed serial sex assaulter Trump now further himself embracing along with the RNC to the tune of $1 million to make a Republican home for the most likely serial Grand Old Pedophile Moore in the United States Senate further of late has shamelessly made yet another hypocritical dishonest and misleading attempt as set out in the article below of Republican attacks including utterly baseless ones by senior Republicans such as majority whip Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) to the press discrediting the Joint Committee on Taxation analysis like those efforts now familiar from Republicans against the long-respected non-partisan Congressional Budget Office on earlier Republican "healthcare" attempts per the GOP new normal modus operandi of suppressing all truth from the American people most recently about the vast damage to the great majority of the people of this nation to be expected from the Republicans' huge tax cut giveaway to only the very richest including their d/owners and of course many of themselves like liar-in-chief criminal President Trump who naturally has continuously lied about not benefiting from such tax cuts but claiming instead to be sacrificing greatly when in fact this could not be further from the truth as the completely undeserved tax cut giveaway to the richest is estimated to net a well over $1 billion bonanza to Trump and his family.
       The unambiguous verbatim quotes above from senior leading Republican Senators Hatch and Grassley make absolutely clear disclosure to all Americans what the despicable Republicans really think of the vast majority of Americans they in no way represent but exploit and will hurt and kill without a second thought if those Americans are not one of the very few richest including those who sustain them unnaturally in office they no longer can be said rightfully to have popularly attained without massive infusions of d/owner cash that are no donations at all but investments on which those donors demand a quantifiable return for which they will go elsewhere if it is not realized.
       The Republicans have been corrupted down to such a despicable level that many of the most respected former Republicans with the most integrity and bona fide conservative credentials have left the party feeling forced to leave an irredeemable GOP which has descended to such an un-American and anti-democratic monstrosity party to continuously destroying this great American constitutional democracy and its most sacred and cherished traditions such that more agree daily that the time has come unequivocally that the Republican party must die patriotic only in its being sacrificed to save the Republic from an awful and irreversible future that otherwise may rival some of the worst and most cruel governments and regimes history has known in their chaotic inevitable final disintegration.
       As for the immediate danger emphasized by the nature of the vile quotes above Republicans could not care less about saddling hurting ordinary Americans and their children with more than another $1.5 trillion in debt added to the deficit while simultaneously threatening to take away their lifeline shoestring "benefits" many actually earned and which rightfully belong to the people even as those repulsive Republicans who have become deluded by fleeting power that they are better than any other American to whom they now have come to lie and swindle continuously with perceived impunity thoroughly corrupted by their criminal beloved GOP leader Trump those despicable Republicans' words quoted above come verbatim from the opinion piece of economics Nobel Professor Paul Krugman's both entitled and warning "Republicans Are Coming For Your Benefits" also for interested readers linked to below.
       UPDATED to 1 January 2018  In the end Trump was overtaken with enthusiasm for what finally will become his first legislative "win" barring the unforeseen which bill some have described as the worst piece of legislation drafted in modern times (quite an accomplishment considering the 2001 so-called "Patriot Act") with Trump's signing now delayed until 2018 due to one of a few final screw-ups which also included the bill having been sent back to the House of Representatives by the Senate parliamentarian for technicalities then to be voted on a second time in the House and returned. Unfortunately in his apparent enthusiasm related with accompanying video for interested readers in the Washington Post article linked to directly below Trump admitted for the record that the bill was deceptively sold by the GOP as a middle class tax cut which was a lie as Trump admitted it in fact was intended primarily to benefit corporations and (once again) undermine Obamacare. Trump's widely captured comments are expected to be less than helpful to his already concerned bill signing GOP colleagues still running for re-election although the steadily more energized Democrats looking to 2018 were grateful for the clear primary source explication to go with the horrors of the historically disfavored Trump tax cut giveaway which they expect to become relentlessly more apparent as its true nature unfolds.
       GOP class warfare starts 1 January 2018 as contemptuous Republicans waste no time from day one of their final year with lying Republican hypocrites Paul Ryan leading the charge for benefit cuts from the neediest as "conservative" Mark Meadows of "Freedom (For The Rich) Caucus" commences dire calls for "fiscal restraint" on heels of $1.5 trillion new debt cash dump on richest with bonus attack on healthcare expected to kick tens of millions of Americans off in their last days of Congress in 2017.

Petition Supporting President Barack Obama Facing New GOP Assault On Americans And U.S. Economic Security In Spite Of Great Gains Obama Has Made Inheriting Presidency On Brink Of Bush Routine Republican Disaster

        Friday, 9 January 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - It is axiomatic that every Republican Administration for more than a generation has left the United States in or on the verge of financial ruin both as a country and as a people but for a statistically insignificant elite at the very top tenth of one per cent who have time and again cashed in on Republican corruption and lack of any moral compass whatsoever guided by the exploitation of intolerance and the wisdom worthy of conservative talk show hosts who pride themselves on their loud aggressive ignorance both disgraceful and distasteful to all persons of refined sensibility.
       Four days ago on the occasion of the opening session of a new Congress with Republicans holding the majority both in the House of Representatives and the Senate the below email flyer was circulated seeking electronic signatures on the linked petition. The petition is a show of support for President Barack Obama urging him not to contemplate folding or even bending in the face of an expected flurry of idiotic Republican and their "Tea Partiers" mean-spirited shortsighted attempts to assault and dismantle every Obama policy and any statute, law and/or other policy that protects the inalienable rights of all Americans and provides any sort of "safety net" for those who "fall through the cracks" through misfortune particularly under Republican past inevitably failed economic policies, our wounded warriors who now suffer daily as a result of Cheney-Bush illegal undeclared wars exploiting fear of terrorism since 9/11 attacks in order to destroy nations and kill millions of their peoples that had nothing to do with those attacks solely in the name of greed and avarice as well as so many others inevitably left and kept behind by a Republican administration intentionally holding tens of millions of high potential back as surely as if they were holding their heads repeatedly and relentlessly underwater in an effort to keep them living in constant desperate fear of extinction as Bush waxed in an incomprehensible incoherent dyslexicon while Dick "Pigheart" Cheney "I would torture people again in a minute" exploiting his role ceaselessly as Vice-President "serving" his country in office counted his palettes of stacked hundred dollar bills "earned" through the consistent misdeeds and criminal actions of his Blackwater Blackdeath gang of thugs, felons, escaped convicts, mercenaries and murderers who it would seems are the only company he has ever known as he consistently has spit in the eye of humanity with nothing but remorseless absolute contempt.
       Cheny-Bush in the meantime intentionally allowed the true culprits to escape so that especially Dick "Pigheart" Cheney and his and Bush criminal conspirators might completely and brazenly unlawfully exploit the oil resources of innocent nations while making a fortune while while at the same time "serving" in office ripping off the U.S. Government for the so-called "services" of agent of Lucifer Cheney's Blackwater army of Blackdeath thugs, felons, released convicts, mercenaries, and convicted murderers which were never performed or performed absolutely to inadequate standards putting at risk the lives of our women and men in uniform, as well as the Republican attack on the remaining of our Great Nation's weakest including many women, those born into an inescapable cycle of poverty, minorities suffering Republican engineered through sheer incompetence intent or lack of any concern unemployment levels nearing 50% for example young African-American men, the fragile elderly, the physically and mentally disabled, hungry children and all the remaining targets of the greedsick GOP being any person too weak to fight off their heinous economic and other assaults.
       Since that time just three days ago the Republican Party with a majority of both houses of Congress has in a matter of just the remaining days of the this week launched an attack with well-fed Republican Senators publicly pledging to eliminate food stamps, the GOP House tea partiers taking the leading steps immediately to cut Social Security benefits through dishonest and reprehensible means for the disabled and eventually all Americans, the GOP House taking immediate steps to deny the law of the land the Affordable Care health care act to all those working less than forty hours a week while the GOP Congresspersons on average work no more than twenty-eight hours a week but lavish on themselves full "Cadillac" health care benefits paid for by taxpaying Americans, and doing everything else in their non-existent GOP power (since it all is subject as necessary to Presidential veto that cannot be overcome) to wage war on the poor further while they further reward the rich including those who bought them their offices and own them such as the Koch Brothers for not paying anywhere near their fair share of taxes if any, taking huge government handouts while denying the poorest Americans even the pittance needed to survive, doling out tax cuts to those of the foregoing who least deserve and have no need for them, and of course paving the way for severe damage once again to all honest hard-working Americans from tens of millions of small business owners to tens of millions of the hard-toiling working classes by once again like every Republican Administration in memory destroying the United States economy after a Democratic Administration such as that of Barack Obama that has made phenomenol strides to restore the American economy after the carnage left by the preceding Bush Administration which left the United States economy in tatters.
       Please for those who are in agreement with the foregoing or even those who are not but are fed up with Republican greed, corruption and policy ineptitude let President Barack Obama know just how many proudly stand behind him and his incredibly successful policies which have delivered this great country from the George W. Bush brink of destruction to a remarkable recovery with not only the lack of assistance of the GOP but its avowed determination repeatedly to grind the United States Government to a standstill even in the face of disaster threatening the very existence of this Nation as we know it. Even in the face of Republican full-on efforts to make every wrong decision and initiate every failed disastrous policy the GOP let President Obama know that Americans stand behind and with him and will not let anything obstruct the path of the great American recovery going full speed ahead under President Barack Obama.For the 1st time in 8 years, Republicans are taking full control of Congress.

What does this mean for President Obama’s final two years in office?



Republicans are already threatening to “dilute, dismantle or defang” the progress we’ve made together.

But President Obama is fighting back:

President Obama has pledged to use his veto power to fight Republicans’ repeal agenda. Now, it’s up to us to back him up.

Martin -- will you help us reach 100,000 strong standing with President Obama?

American Retirees Mostly In 50's Through 70's And Others In Increasing Numbers Sell Homes And Possessions And Leave United States For Lives Of Travel Abroad With More Than 360,000 Since 2013 Now Receiving Social Security Payments In Other Countries

       Saturday, 30 August 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - For readers who are retired or in any case just not tied to the United States with a physical or mental ball and chain the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board congratulates and thanks the New York Times for reminding us all that our lives remain ours alone to do with what we wish and do not belong to the military-industrial-pharmaceutical-"political consultant" corporate state relentlessly advertising unneeded garbage and unconstitutional wars which would have us all spending our lives locked up as hostages mind and body under constant threat of unlawful State surveillance on a layaway plan sofa in front of a layaway plan plasmavision receiving deceptively overpriced empty brainless programming endlessly watching CNN looping bogus horrorshows insuring our pure terror of the street right outside our door while we watch Anderson Cooper stroll around the world for lunch us left watching wide-eyed stuck deep in the grid drowning in an overwhelming excess of junk they would sell us until we are buried flailing under sheer mindless repetition which we do not want nor need but striving in our minds alone while doing absolutely nothing for the fake plastic lives we would never have buying remedies for ailments we do not even have but that can blind or kill us in an instant up until that final moment when the picture shatters from pixels to static squandering the remainder of our pathetic lives paying off debt to credit card bank and payday loan usurers for E-Z credit to pay off other E-Z credit or buy more useless junk long ago lost or forgotten rotting in a landfill and have us above all lusting for plastic cars which depreciate faster than the blink of an eye like dropping from a cliff to elevator music and for mortgages which we could not afford while constantly bombarded by the noise of hawkers and screamers and of course the biggest crooks of any in the world just Google "Bank of America" and "crime" to see who steals ten billion dollars in a heartbeat over and over and over again.
       Whoa now in the words of Hunter S. Thompson "Did we say that?. . . Well we must have meant it." For interested readers the link below is to a New York Times article in which one who is so inclined can read of over 360,000 Americans who receive their Social Security overseas, who in many cases have sold their houses and all their possessions in the United States, who spend less and live better than they ever did in the U.S., who owe nothing to anyone, who live on $150 a month, and have found ways all as detailed with links in the Times article to find transportation and places to stay for nothing or next-to-nothing as they have traveled from state-to-state and country-to-country so extensively it is beyond what they ever believed they could back when they were locked in the grid lives they thought were controlled by government and media inspired fear and terror relentlessly pounded into their brains with of course always the backdrop of invaluable advice of the U.S. State Department where not to travel (in 1963) which as we recall from our travels abroad on a few continents was infamous among travelers for its largely worthless notoriously outdated warnings of where to avoid and its uncanny ability completely to miss the spots where one most easily could be killed.

"...We Should Not Let It Eat Our Brains...." Professor Krugman Asserts In Times' Piece On Social Security And Medicare Reform Delusions

     Friday, 16 November 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - New York Times columnist Economics Nobel Prize winner Professor Paul Krugman blasting ignorant would-be reformers of Social Security and Medicare stunned the Ninth Amendment editorial board with his stark assertion that as to bipartisan misconceptions on these matters that "...we shouldn't let it eat our brains." Readers are reminded to refrain from reading FREE UNLIMITED TIMES' ARTICLES SIMPLY BY SETTING FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" NOR USING OTHER MORE RECENT METHODS OF BYPASSING THE TIMES' PAYWALL BY USING SEARCH ENGINES TO DISCOVER OTHERS SUCH AS DELETING MOST OF THE URL (TOP ADDRESS LINE) OF TIMES' ARTICLES.       Ninth Amendment comments offered in response to Professor Krugman's strident admonitions were published in the Times' digital edition earlier today verbatim as follows. The link to Professor Krugman's piece appears directly beneath these ads for high-velocity slingshots and binoculars which are endorsed by neither Professor Krugman, the New York Times, nor the Ninth Amendment log. Although they apparently may be by Google which has established "affiliate" relationships with the advertisers. Please consult the ACLU as to any Second Amendment or other Constitutional protections afforded Americans' "right" to bear potentially dangerous or even deadly weapons without the concurrent existence of a domestic standing militia. These slingshots are not toys and should only be used only with responsible adult supervision. Always wear bona fide safety eye and wrist protection. Ninth Amendment readers presumably already are adequately familiar with the characteristics of binoculars.

The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com is heartened to see that you sure are not pulling any punches. Frankly we never even thought we ourselves might get that one in the Times, sir. But you without doubt are the man. You tell it like it is and have proven yourself dauntless beyond reproach to us and countless others. Thank you. Finally, is this the start of a run for the next United States Presidency after your fellow Nobel Laureate President Barack Obama, or do you have enough jobs already?
