Helpful Talking Points
by elisobservations
(Note: These Talking Points are invaluable when dealing with the Left-Leaning media. Repeat them often enough, and soon you’ll hear the Lamestream Media beginning to repeat them too.)
With all these BIG GOVERNMENT RULES protecting ‘endangered species’ like Albino Sea Snails and livestock-killing wolves, we’ve heard nothing about a law to protect a vital American resource! The PROTECT OUR BILLIONAIRES LAW would jump-start the economy and create many, many thousands of jobs (twenty thousand in India and Mexico alone!).
POBL, as it’s known in the RFRC (Rich Folks Republican Caucus) is vital because billionaires are JOB CREATORS and deserve our protection! Times are tough for these hard-working JOB CREATORS too. Imagine the effort executives at Bank of America had to put in to hatch a plan to lay off forty thousand employees next year. Awesome responsibility!
Yet these tireless JOB CREATORS are hamstrung by BURDENSOME REGULATIONS AND RED TAPE about so-called ‘environmental damage and worker safety and health.’ You don’t hear about any of that INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT in China. Those communist dictatorships know how to help a JOB CREATOR create jobs!
Then, there are those CONFISCATORY TAXES. Just put yourself in the tasseled Gucci loafers of your average hard-working billionaire JOB CREATOR. How can he invest in America when he’s haunted by the spectre of possible future JOB KILLING TAXES?
Under POBL, all future taxes on income will be banned forever! Good start, but what about all those CONFISCATORY TAXES billionaires had to pay before the 2000 Bush tax cuts were enacted? Well, under POBL, all billionaires would be given a full refund (plus interest) on the CONFISCATORY TAXES they had to pay in the past!
POBL would also end the JOB-KILLING FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE. Ask any unemployed American which he likes better, a low-paying job or no pay? And those jobs are created by billionaires, hiring all those gardeners and maids and dog-walkers! if every U.S. billionaire just gave his pool-boy two hours more per week, you’d see a real ripple effect across the American economy!
POBL needs help from average Americans to silence the UNION BOSSES and TREE HUGGERS and send Congress a message: Protect the JOB-CREATORS!
(Note: Don’t be afraid to repeat the talking points over and over, especially if someone in the Lamestream Media questions their validity. They’ll get tired and move on.)
Eli's Observations 
Uncle John – I always thought you should write a political blog. I am emailing your link today to all my friends. I look forward to reading your rants as much as I love listening to them in person. Good luck!
Well someone got to you before I did…I hear more John than Eli but since I like what I am reading I don’t care which of you wrote it. Keep ’em coming. Good to hear from you. I will be forwarding this…Love, Thea
[…] so I’ve picked up a little work, which is good. Helping a friend jump-start his new political blog. And writing celeb news content for a website. It’s good to have structure. Even though […]
Jobs? Hmmm. Do we actually still ‘do’ (I mean, besides pushing papers.) or ‘make’ anything in America? A higher minimum wage would be a great idea…if there was still any real work here in America. We shipped most of our jobs overseas a long time ago, especially the manufacturing of goods. Wouldn’t you just love to know who, in the USA, is going to buy those cheap goods when they are unsustainably shipped to our shores? (I know that I would like to know.) Why, you’d need a good, paying job, in order to spend hard-won dollars on such cheap stuff!
Turning every product in our lives into simple commodities, where quality is unimportant, only price matters, has become a business mantra. You can ‘own’ the market if you dump enough s#%t on it at a low-enough retail price. It is best to recall just who the market is for this junk: people who are currently un- or under-employed. They lost their job on the assembly line making widgets, when that company realized they could ship it overseas. Now, the company wants to pick the collective pockets of those same former employees, by selling them the cheap(er) widgets made in some far-off land, and sent to the USA at an (unsustainably) great cost.
You are right, J O’T, as you so often are, but since there are so few billionaires–and so many politicians (our real problem and our weakness)–kindly spare some of your deeper thoughts for them who have wrought so much of our angst and pain. If not for their our-side-has-to-win attitude, perhaps they could focus on what it would really take to create more jobs, and give people a viable, living wage for their work.
Ah, but this race to the bottom is, in great part, the result of party politics: must win seats, at any cost (to the rest of America.) So divisive. And, you know what our illustrious founding fathers had to say about divisiveness: United, we stand; divided, we fall.
Lastly, ‘tasseled Gucci loafers’ + billionaires? Not. They are more likely to buy their loafers at J.C. Penny. (REAL billionaires didn’t become rich by spending their money on frivolous things like expensive shoes!) Come on, someone has to buy those Korean-made Penny loafers! Besides Gucci is so 60s…
Rant on, Eli! Without a good poke-in-the-eye delivered fresh from a clear and clever mind, where is the discourse that brings change. Thanks.
