GET THE HELL OUT JAMIE DIMON, AND TAKE THE REST OF YOUR CORPORATE ASSHOLE FRIENDS

If I were the President of the United States of America, this is what I'd say to those big corporations and CEOs:
-

"I’m tired of all you corporate fat cats bitching and moaning. Especially you Jamie Dimon. **

-

You have a problem with paying taxes? Renounce your US citizenship, take your fat asses and incorporate (have your base of operations) outside the United States in some place like socialist Europe or communist China/Russia, or the dangerous Middle East and have them protect your sorry butts. I say this because we all know that when we say "we go to war to protect America's interests", what we're really talking about is protecting corporate interests. Men and women in the military have died to protect your fat asses. Many when they come home have no job to go to. Yet you continue to outsource jobs, and sit in your nice comfy homes/mansions ... enjoying the best that life has to offer.


You're weak and soft and refuse to stand on your own two feet without the aid of the mighty U.S. military and tax payer money. The sorry lot of you make me sick to my stomach.

-

Now let me tell you why you and your friends won't renounce your US citizenship and incorporate (have your base of operations) outside the United States.

-

1. You won’t do it because you’re afraid the communists will seize your companies, and/or the Europeans (who don't trust you) won’t want to protect your sorry butts or even have enough money to support your sorry butts.

-

2. One of the reasons some Europeans don’t want you to incorporate (have your base of operations) in their country is because you pose a national security risk; PLUS without our help, you’ll drain their coffers dry protecting your lying, scheming, outsourcing asses.*

-

3. As for the Middle East, ... do I even need to tell you why you would never renounce your US citizenship and try to incorporate (have your base of operations) there?

-

That’s why for all your bitching and moaning, you will stay right where you are, pay your freaking taxes [let the Bush tax cuts expire] and shut the hell up."

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 6, 2010


Now you, Jamie (and your asshole friends), could all incorporate (move your base of operations) on some big island in the Pacific; however, you'd have to pay for your own private army (that will eat into your budgets and cut your profits and bloated CEO pay). Plus, if the Europeans and Americans (and rest of the world) are smart, they will make you pay a heavy price (mucho money) to do business in their country.

UPDATE: September 8, 2010


I have a perfect solution for helping the small business owner. We're going to stop all the corporate (welfare) subsidies to most large corporations and give those subsidies to (American) small and midsized businesses/sub chapter S, and other (American) corporations who help rebuild our infrastructure, invest in a green economy and also invest in great research and development projects, and who provide well paying jobs that cannot ever be outsourced.


Last, reduce or remove our troops in various parts of the world that are causing a huge national security risk because of our presence there; and also reduce and/or merge national security agencies that are dysfunctional and mismanaged and make them functional.

Many of these agencies are jealous of other agencies, and thus, refuse to share information. And then there are the companies that are in the spying and warfare game strictly for profit allowing corrupt individuals to thwart efforts to crack down on crime, etc.; and they themselves, by virtue of their corrupt and/or criminal behavior, create national security problems for us, and a huge backlash against Americans.

Because of conflicts of interest, inability to analyze data and share it, mismanagement, corruption, jealousy and the outrageous number of law enforcement and national security networks, I think it has made us less safe.”

REPUBLICANS CONTINUING TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE CBO, JAPANESE STIMULUS PLAN AND TAX CUTS

-
First let me give a Kudos "shout out" to "Morning Joe"'s frequent guest, Dylan Ratigan and to CNBC's Maria Bartiromo for their insightful and enlightening remarks this morning. We need more people getting angry with what's going on in the financial world, in corporations, and in the Congress and the Senate. You guys keep up the good work; and I urge citizens/consumers to keep a "watchful eye" on these entities and hold them accountable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rolling Stone" writer claims no one came forward to address corruption regarding Blagojevich. Not true ... Jesse Jackson Jr. did speak to certain federal investigators when the Governor asked for a donation of $25,000 from Jesse in exchange for hiring his wife. Kudos to Jesse.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

Yesterday, I sent quite a few emails to the House and the Senate dealing with myths, lies and half-truths.
-
-
1. Republicans state study by CBO shows vast majority of money in stimulus package won't be spent until after 2010.
-

The facts:
-
"Reports of a recent study by the Congressional Budget Office, showing that the vast majority of the money in the stimulus package won't be spent until after 2010, have Democrats on the defensive and the GOP calling for a pullback in wasteful spending.
Funny thing is, there is no such report.
-
"We did not issue any report, any analysis or any study," a CBO aide told the Huffington Post.
-
Rather, the nonpartisan CBO ran a small portion of an earlier version of the stimulus plan through a computer program that uses a standard formula to determine a score -- how quickly money will be spent. The score only dealt with the part of the stimulus headed for the Appropriations Committee and left out the parts bound for the Ways and Means or Energy and Commerce Committee.
-
Because it dealt with just a part of the stimulus, it estimated the spending rate for only about $300 billion of the $825 billion plan. Significant changes have been made to the part of the bill the CBO looked at. ..."

2. Republicans claim that stimulus didn't work with the Japanese therefore it won't work now.
-

The facts:
-
The Journal [conservative "Wall Street Journal"] editorial listed stimulus policies enacted by Japan between 1992 and 1999 and concluded that "Japan's economy grow [sic] anemically over that decade, but as the nearby chart shows, its national debt exploded ... Now we're told that a similar spending program -- a new New Deal -- will revive the U.S. economy. How do you say 'good luck' in Japanese?"
-
Contrary to the Journal's suggestion that stimulus spending was ineffective in Japan, Adam Posen, deputy director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, wrote in his September 1998 book, Restoring Japan's Economic Growth, that "the 1995 stimulus package ... did result in solid growth in 1996, demonstrating that fiscal policy does work when it is tried. As on earlier occasions in the 1990s, however, the positive response to fiscal stimulus was undercut by fiscal contraction in 1996 and 1997."
-
He concluded:
Similar contractions undertaken both openly and by hidden means in 1994, 1996, and 1997, with reference to announced but unimplemented spending, had destructive effects. Future government packages must recognize that when the Japanese government paid for fiscal stimulus in 1995, it got economic growth, and that when it mistakenly pursued fiscal austerity in most of the remainder of the 1992-97 period, it got economic contraction.
-
A 1999 budget brief from the Japanese Ministry of Finance demonstrates that the consumption tax was indeed increased from 3 to 5 percent in 1997. Other economists and media figures agree with Posen that the positive effects of the mid-decade stimulus packages were curtailed by these attempts to scale back spending and increase sales taxes.

3. John McCain says broadband spending will not stimulate the economy.
-

The facts:
-

Rachel Maddow caught John McCain stating (during the campaign) that spending on broadband would stimulate the economy. She even played the video with those words flowing out of his mouth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

4. Republicans claim that (supply side, etc.) tax cuts help stimulate the economy more than spending. They have even front loaded up the Internet search engines directing you to blog posts and articles (that were non existent a few days ago) that repeat distorted/misleading assumptions, trying to sway you to their side.
