Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has an “expansive vision” for our federal government and wants a new federal law which would subjugate our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment and federalism and require public school systems created by the people under state constitutions, to stay open all day and provide a variety of after-school activities and services such as child care, recreation, tutoring, dental and medical care and counseling. See: New Vision for Schools Proposes Broad Role


Keep in mind that AFT’s 1.4 million member organization endorsed Obama, which is in addition to the National Education Association’s 3.2 million member organization which also endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for U.S. president. And, in 2004, these two politically active organizations had more delegates to the democrat convention than every state delegation except California’s delegation.


Of course, those who have been victims of a government school education, which is now most of our nation’s population, have no reason to be alarmed or suspect that their constitutionally limited “Republican Form of Government” is being threatened from within by these groups. The sad truth is, those who attend government schools, which have been taken over by these two groups [ AFT and NEA] have not been taught that our federal Constitution does not delegate a power to Congress to tax for, spend on and regulate state constitutionally authorized public school systems! As a matter of fact, for several generations children attending government schools have not been taught the basics of our constitutionally limited system of government and the enumerated powers granted to Congress by our Constitution which were elaborated upon in the Federalists Papers, e.g. see Federalist No.45





The bottom line is, Barack Obama’s primary supporters are part of a very dangerous Washington Establishment and its parasitic political plum job empire, who have a primary and personal financial interest at stake in supporting Obama ____ feeding at the public trough!


Aside from the AFT and NEA organizations, let us look at the federal Department of Education. The federal Department of Education has approximately 5000 federal political plum job employees with excessive salaries, top of the shelf medical plans, and an outrageous pension program, all of which Mary and Joe Sixpack living in Idaho can only dream of having but will continue to be taxed to finance if Obama is elected.


And what is the job of the employees at the federal Dept. of Education? Redistributing money taxed away from Mary and Joe Sixpack for a function not authorized by our written federal Constitution.


The frightening thing in all this is, the total memberships of the AFT, NEA and federal Department of Education make up an alarming 5 million member foot soldier army, which organizes during federal elections to keep Mary and Joe Sixpack a federal tax slave, there to support the good life for federal employees at the Department of Education, in spite of the fact that the American people have not given a power to Congress to tax for, spend on, or regulate state constitutionally authorized public school systems.

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 feed political plum job holders on our federal plantation?

JWK, you paint a grim picture. The type that I have nightmares about each night.

I couldn't agree with you more. God help us if Obama wins.

If his lips are movin', he's lyin'.

I'm very concerned that the ignorant of this nation will elect him ....... on emotions only. And, because he's running under the Democrat label. Can't see through the glitz and glamor of his phony candidacy. He looks like a smug man that has struck a deal with the devil behind closed doors, with the promise that he will win hook or crook.........from people like George Soros and company.

God help us. Please.

Aside from the obvious brainwashing of our nation’s younger generation which takes place in government schools, there is another reason for the Washington Establishment wanting control over public school systems established under state constitutions, and its all about the Benjamins!


Keep in mind the federal Department of Education has approximately 5000 federal political plum job employees with excessive salaries, top of the shelf medical plans, and an outrageous pension program, all of which Mary and Joe Sixpack [that’s you and me] living in Idaho can only dream of having but will continue to be taxed to finance if Obama is elected.


In return for their excessive salaries and benefits, this 5000 member army comes together during federal election time to volunteer for and support those candidates that will work to increase an absolute federal power over our nation's younger generation via public school systems. The following is how they are rewarded:


WASHINGTON’S POLITICAL PLUM JOB OVERVIEW





In addition to salary, here are other federal employee ``benefits`` which Mary and Joe will be gouged to finance:


Life insurance plan___ Mary and Joe Sixpack get to pay 1/3 of a government workers federal life insurance plan.


Federal Employees Dental & Vision Program is a full coverage plan and federal employees get to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their vision and dental premiums while Mary and Joe are forced to use after taxed dollars to fund their Dental & Vision plan.


Under the federal employee retirement system, there is a tax-deferred savings plan known as the ``Thrift Savings Plan``. Under this plan, federal workers may contribute up to 10% of their salaries to the plan, with Mary and Joe Sixpack being taxed to match up to 5% of a federal employee`s contribution.


Also, under the Civilian Service Retirement System a federal employee contributes 7% of their paycheck to retirement while Mary and Joe Sixpack are forced to match that 7 % out of their paychecks.


And, with reference to health insurance, which is in addition to the above mentioned dental and vision plan, see Federal Employees to See Moderate Rise in Health Insurance Premiums





Fact is, Mary and Joe Sixpack, who can barely meet their own health care needs, get to pick up about 70 percent of the premium costs to provide health care to the Washington Establishment’s political plum job holders and their families. And, the heavy burden of federal taxation in most situations compels Mary and Joe to send their children to government operated schools which begin the brainwashing operation.


As I have correctly stated before , 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 feed political plum job holders on our federal plantation?

“He has erected a multitude of new offices (Washington‘s existing political plum job Empire) , and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people, and eat out their substance” ___Declaration of Independence

Soros is a demi-god, who is using his millions (billions?) to undermine the solvency of our country. He has many cohorts on the Left helping him.

We are witnessing the overthrow of this nation before our eyes with the complicit cooperation of the complacent ignorant and blind and those that want their selfish lifestyles to continue and be accepted.

Believe me! If Obama wins, we WILL see change, but not the kind that his hopefuls think will happen. This is being orchestrated by someone more intelligent than his inexperienced and arrogant messianic self.

Recently viewed "Goodbye My Concubine" and the background noise of the film gives a bird's eye view of what kind of whiplash changes can happen in a nation and it's people when a select immoral few get power into their hands.

And this brings us to a very important question concerning our big media. When will our beloved media do an exposé on the Washington Establishment’s political plum job empire, especially those political plum jobs having no legitimacy within the enumerated powers granted to Congress under Article 1, Section 8 of our Constitution ___ an example being the federal Department of Education?


How about our big media, perhaps the fountain of all knowledge Bill O’Reilly and his crack investigative team getting down to business and informing listeners to just a few of the Senior Officials at the U.S. Department of Education and divulging their annual salary and benefits package, which Mary and Joe Sixpack, living in Mississippi, are taxed to finance even though they have not authorized Congress to tax for, spend on, or regulate a public school system created under Mississippi’s State Constitution?


Come now Bill, why is there a federal Department of Education? Could it be that Congress has created, in just one federal department, a 5000 member foot soldier army which comes together every federal election to volunteer for and help elect or re-elect candidates who are dedicated to expanding the iron fist of the federal government and subjugating our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment?


To put this another way, is it not true that our federal government personifies a living creature, a predator, which grows, multiplies, and protects itself, and feeds on those it can defeat, and does everything to expand and flourish, even at the expense of creating federal tax slaves in every state in the Union who will have their paychecks confiscated so political plum job holders may live large and be there to prop up the Washington Establishment during federal elections?


Tell us Bill, why has the President of the NEA’s 3.2 million member organization come out in support of Obama? Could it be that the NEA have a financial interest in seeing Obama elected?

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State“ ____ Federalist Paper No. 45
