LOOKS LIKE I STRUCK A NERVE

TBP received an all-time record of visitors yesterday. The article also received an all-time record of reads for one of my articles on Zero Hedge – 27,500. It seems people are seeing what I’m seeing. I had a feeling while I was writing it that it would resonate with people in the real world. The politicians, bankers and media can spin their propaganda, but the people living in the real world know they are being screwed. Waking them up to the truth is the 1st step in taking back the country from the ruling oligarchs.

    I used your article for my classes. I teach high school and find TBP articles to be great vehicles for my American History and Government classes to learn how to use math, history, and writing to create evidence based arguments or position papers. The students are fans of TBP because I don’t sugar coat whats happening out there and TBP helps support my arguments. Thanks Jim and the TBP contributors for influencing young minds.

    Sadly, teacher Lysander had to reconsider letting the students read TBP when during a debate one yelled, “Go fuck yourself, asshole!”, and the other replied, “Go suck my 12 inch python and swallow my baby batter, pussy.”

    54,414 combined views TBP and ZH. Amazing. More than the enrollment at the largest university in the U.S. The truth always resonates.

    Admin is slowly but surely waking up the sleeping boobus Americanus. Well done!

    I am sure the thought police will be visiting soon. I have been a reader for several years and enjoyed the discussion. Jim and crew have no idea the amount of discussion they generate with students. I had to laugh a few times when you title an article with a few choice words and they hit the screen for the kids.

    Change is in the air and hope springs eternal. People are smart and they are shaking off the lies and finding the truth on their own.

    Good for you, Admin. Thank you. Here’s something else to talk about:

    “It’s Official: Cutting Top Tax Rates Doesn’t Grow the Economy, It Only Grows Income Inequality:

    A new study by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) using data from the past 65 years found that there is no correlation (PDF) between top tax rates and economic growth. But it doesn’t stop there. The study also found that there is a correlation between the reduction in top tax rates and the increasing concentration of wealth toward the top of the income distribution. The report, Taxes and the Economy: An Economic Analysis of the Top Tax Rates Since 1945, is also clear that this is not only about tax rates on regular income, and points out (PDF) that “changes in capital gains and dividends were the largest contributor to the increase in income inequality since the mid-1990’s.”

    This has to be just about the last nail in the tax-cutting, supply-side coffin. CRS is a bunch of smart people at the Library of Congress whose mission is “providing comprehensive and reliable legislative research and analysis that are timely, objective, authoritative, and confidential, thereby contributing to an informed national legislature.” And while the study has earned volumes of media coverage, it’s worth noting that even the Wall Street Journal report didn’t quibble with the study’s finding that “tax cuts for the rich don’t seem to be associated with economic growth…. [but] can be linked to a different outcome: income inequality.”

    The CRS findings fall in line with the increasing consensus showing that supply-side tax cuts touted by people like Arthur Laffer have been an enormous failure over the past several decades. As Citizens for Tax Justice’s Bob McIntyre has pointed out, even George W. Bush’s own Treasury Department conceded in 2006 that the Bush tax cuts (which were mostly targeted to the wealthiest Americans) would not have a significant effect on economic growth over the long term. And every few weeks in his New York Times blog post, Ronald Reagan’s former advisor, Bruce Bartlett, explains that tax cuts really can not and do not make an economy healthy.”

    Anyone else notice that frustration, anger and impoliteness, seems to be escalating?

    Recently I’ve noticed my fellow citizens more pissed off than ever.

    People don’t know, nor could most understand, what is happening. All they know is that times suck, and it isn’t getting any easier, and they feel like they are being continuously put through a wringer.-

    Apparently, this is leading them to question the MSM and search out more truth – as reflected in your stats.

    Now if they would only realize you do this (basically) without compensation and click on the ads ——> or drop you a few bucks on paypal. Just sayin’.

    Admin – so what you are really saying is that I have lost my touch, and am no longer capable of sending you into a purple-faced, drooling, spitting rage over minor differences in viewpoints? You cut me to the quick, denigrating my talents so.

    Go ahead, post another OWS thread, and I promise to get you riled up. Better stock up on Alka Seltzer, ’cause here comes heartburn! Admit it – you miss the big firefights. Game on, big boy! Time for us to show them how it is done, as it has gotten too damn touchy-feely around here.

    I tried giving Admin the easiest $100 he ever made on an extremely favorable bet (for Admin) on the Beagles-Browns game. His sorryass team let him down. Another in a long, long, really long, incredibly long, unbelievably long, million-to-one-odds long, infinitely long string of victories by SSS over Admin.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go click on a few ads.

    Well, this thread took another unpredictable nosedive into pictures of women with big boobs. No wonder that our resident American history teacher Lysander doesn’t have any trouble in getting his students to visit TBP. Here’s the scenario.

    Lysander to his students. “Ok, class. For tonight’s reading assignment, I want you to read at least two articles posted on The Burning Platform and be prepared to discuss tomorrow.”

    Response from a student (sarc on). “Oh, Mr. Lysander. Must we? That site is so stuffy and boring. Everyone is so polite, it’s nauseous. And you wouldn’t believe how many cat pictures are posted..”

    Oh, one more thing.

    “You’re all little boys!”

    Sir,
    If you think for a minute that boobs will cloak your activities you are delusional.

    Boobs are the essance of life. Don’t you realize, that, – as we may seek solance and comfort in boobs, we will never take sight off you as the most despicable target on earth.

    Admin, I’m SO glad you figured out the med thing — it has happened to me more than once. It’s the main reason I hope the social fabric hangs together well enough for the pharmacies to keep functioning! LOL Also, this is one of the reasons I have no choice but to bug in if TSHTF.

    Isn’t second wind wonderful? I can tell you from personal experience that it is very possible (and damned likely for a person of your caliber) to find a third, fourth, fifth, etc. wind if they work at it wholistically — body, mind, spirit and soul. You are once again at your best, which is THE best! Hooray for Admin!
