tell us Mr. Obama, how many of those lost jobs were federal political plum jobs with an excessive salary and a top of the shelf medical plan which poor wage earners living Harlem, South Philly, Newark, N.J., etc. finance with a tax upon their earned wages?

Seems to me Mr. Obama, your FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ARE DOING JUST FINE: (http://federaljobs.net/)



Are you considering a government job? The federal government employs over 2,700,000 workers and hires hundreds of thousands each year to replace civil service workers that transfer to other federal government jobs, retire, or leave for other reasons. Average annual salary for full-time federal government jobs exceeds $67,000. The U.S. Government is the largest employer in the United States, hiring about 2.0 percent of the nation's work force. Federal government jobs can be found in every state and large metropolitan area, including overseas in over 200 countries. The average annual federal workers compensation, pay plus benefits, is $106,871 compared to just $53,288 for the private sector according to the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis



And how many of those blessed with these political plum jobs, Mr. Obama, have helped to regulated our businesses and industries into stagnation and have chased most of our nation’s manufacturing base to other countries which respect a nation’s manufacturing base?

Now, Mr. Obama, let me do this in crayon for you.

We all know people are losing their jobs, especially in retail sales. And they are loosing their jobs because wage earners, after federal wage withholding takes place and shrinks their take home pay, they can barely meet their necessities of life and have little or no money left to buy a few extra things which in turn hurts our nation’s retail sales! Did you see that Obama? Wage earners cannot afford to buy a few extra things each week because the federal government confiscates their earned wages, which is then used to fund the outrageous salaries and benefits of your federal work force!

How about suspending the tax on earned wages, particularly on wage earners living in Harlem, South Philly, Newark N.J., in other words, end the wage tax on working people who earn $67, 000 or less, which is less than the average salary for a federal government worker? Ending the wage tax on these people would allow them to buy a few extra things each week, which in turn would help retail sales and would instantly create four to five million retail jobs. The federal revenue lost could be made up by a tax on specifically chosen articles of luxury, e.g. on those very expensive SUVs many government employees are privileged to enjoy.

Unlike your borrow-and-spend government plan, Obama, which is a plan destined to lead to hyper inflation in a couple of years and would put our nation's children into a slavish debt situation with its outrageous borrowing, allowing wage earners to keep their paychecks would put existing money into the hands of working people rather then into the hands of folks in government and there would be no need to borrow, nor would there be a threat of inflation.

Come now Obama, you can level with me. Isn’t the object of your plan to keep your federal political plum job holders happy and wage earners poor by taxing their subsistence so you may then bribe them with their own money during election time? I’m sure you must have learned this when studying the birth of our Constitution: A POWER OVER A MAN's SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL ____ Hamilton, No. 79 Federalist Papers

Black working people who support Obama are absolutely correct when they say, as a general statement, “its all about the Benjamins”. But they seem to be easily conned into surrendering the “Benjamins“ they earn to "agents of change" who merely seek to change the faces of those holding political plum jobs within the inner circle of the Washington Establishment. Do black voters not realize they will be betrayed by Obama's "agents of change“ and remain tax slaves ___ useful to work and pay taxes to feed political plum job holders on our federal plantation?
