Krugman of the NYT Plays the Stooge and Attacks Joe the Plumber.
The New York Times—aka
the Walter
Duranty Papers has an all-embracing and convoluted history of
apologizing for Communism,
propping up losers, celebrating AIDS, practicing the wanton whoring of higher
taxes for any implausible reasons, praising dictators and despots in their
opinion columns and scrounging for new ways to reinvent Marxism. The Times has relentlessly praised a swarm
of disgusting parasites who parade as ‘leaders’ in the world and issues
‘prizes’ in many fields for practicing far leftist politics.
Recently,
Paul Krugman was disgraced, internationally, and openly castigated with the Mantle of Stooge
Award
as
defined by the Swedish Academy.
This Award
[Cape de Prix de Larbin] is issued
according to a strict monolithic adherence to leftist dogma and not according
to any proximity to truth, achievement or insight. Ideology to a fault is a
proper reason to splash the recipients with this phony glory in the eyes of the
far left. He joins an august group that
includes such wonderful people as: Rigoberta Menchú Tum [liar], [4][5] Nelson
Mandela [a convicted and confessed terrorist], Yasser Arafat,
Jimmy ‘The
Peanut” Carter and Al Gore EcoNazi
[The Minister of Truth]. Krugman fits nicely into this guild although many of his
attributes are lacking some substance.
This Swedish Academy is always besotted with a cornucopia
of leftist political preferences as potential recipients for their phony prizes,
but they seem to always single out a worthy candidate.
Krugman, the now very famous non-economist economist of the Times, accepting his first political command assignment as Laureatte,
rose to the occasion of his new unearned
fame and fortune and demonstrated to the economically unwashed what fiscal soap
and a good brush could do to save us
from the Next Great Depression.
This turned out be a predictable screed on deficit spending for all reasons.
Today,
our krugmaniacal one tackles the more difficult economic problem of Joe the Plumber and exploits this strange case in a
novel essay on Advanced Tax Theory. His new research and conclusions are, or
course, predetermined by Barney Frank [Backside Barney or”I think my bunny ought to be publicly financed”] who sounded
the Tax Trumpet and recently called for more spending.
Krugman’s mission is well-defined and below we can study and wonder at his breathtaking
economic arguments:
“Meanwhile we’ve got Mr. McCain making Samuel J.
Wurzelbacher, a k a Joe the Plumber — who
had confronted Barack Obama on the campaign trail, alleging that the Democratic
candidate would raise his taxes — the centerpiece of his attack on Mr. Obama’s
economic proposals.”-- The Real
Plumbers of Ohio by PAUL KRUGMAN OP-ED COLUMNIST Published: October
20, 2008
[Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
If this
is the ‘centerpiece’ of any economic proposal then our igNoble One has drifted off into
the mystical dustbin of political chum chuckers and can be safely labeled as a
phony and well-deserving of his title of Mantle of Stooge.
We can envision a dainty pink wreath of scented plastic flowers
resting rakishly upon his furrowed brow as he pounds his keyboard and struggles
to redact the first pages 10 to 50 of his soiled Econ 101 text with new
innovations on how to justify more
hike taxes.
He, firstly, soars off topic.
“First of all, they [plumber
eds] aren’t making a lot of money. You may
recall that in one of the early Democratic debates Charles Gibson of ABC
suggested that $200,000 a year was a middle-class income. Tell that to Ohio
plumbers: according to the May 2007 occupational earnings report from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual income of “plumbers, pipefitters
and steamfitters” in Ohio was $47,930”
This is
way off topic. But, he did do some
exciting and novel research and discovered that Charles Gibson of ABC has
stronger economic credentials than he does.
Obama, of course, has a higher tax number and Joe Biden echoes this with
aplomb.
The
question was: IF Joe buys a business
and tries to rise above the unwashed slobs who shuffle and grovel in the union
halls for the elegant opportunity to pay exorbitant union dues that fund
Democrats then will his taxes be
excessive? Our igNoble Tax Hike
Zombie, works out the non
sequitur
response on some hazy mirror image of what he fears about the capitalists.
The question, restated for information and possible redirection of his
wandering neurons, is whether a person making
$250,000 in gross proceeds would face unacceptable
taxes.
Can we think about the original query 0r must we watch Paul play three-handed puffy
fluff with Barney and ‘Plugs’ in the
political sandbox? His self-defined label as “…a lonely voice of truth in a sea of corruption”[14] might be
properly rearranged to read: a lonely voice of corruption drowning in a sea of truth.
Let us see if he can pry hisself
lose from this essay on personal destruction:
“What about the claim, based on Joe the Plumber’s complaint,
that ordinary working Americans would face
higher taxes under Mr. Obama? Well, Mr. Obama
proposes raising rates on only the top two income tax brackets — and the
second-highest bracket for a head of household starts at an income, after
deductions, of $182,400 a year.”
Now,
didn’t Plugs
promise us that nobody who made less than $250,000 would not pay
even a nickel in more taxes? Was that a delusion? We read from ‘Plugs’:
“"Read my lips," Biden [this
is Plugs ed] said, using Bush's famous phrase while referring to a Barack Obama
administration. "Nobody, nobody making less than $250,000 is going to see
a penny of their taxes go up."—Biden in an incoherent rant at some county
fairgrounds near the campus of Ohio University in Athens on Oct 15, 2008.
Gee, he did say that! Maybe, after giving
Blowhard Joea possible backdoor exit opportunity, he
was slyly employing a deceptive double negative where ‘nobody, nobody’ actually means everybody. That explanation fits well within the slender cognitive skill base
of this person.
He wanders back into reality with his caveat:
“Maybe there are
plumbers out there who earn that much, or who would end up suffering from Mr.
Obama’s proposed modest increases in taxes on dividends and capital gains — …”
Now, why would a common union plumber invest in equities or CDs
and incur ‘modest’ increases in such
taxable misfortunes? Is an increase in capital gains of 25% or more a bit ‘modest’ in the sticky parlance of Afro-Leninist
economics?
Is Samuel J. Wurzelbache interested
in improving his life in the business ownership world? Is he suspicious and
distrustful of such tax-whoring screeds that Obama spits out with sausage-machine
precision? Anybody who has independent thoughts must distrust this racist parasite and bigot.
HE sums up with:
“I don’t want to suggest
that everyone would be better off under the Obama tax plan.”
Does that argument extend downward
to those who will pay higher prices because business is facing new and excessive
tax increases? Are we mumbling from $250,000 to $182,400 a year and heading for
$42,000 as the Obama tax plan shows??
Well, we must thank the Walter
Duranty Papers for showcasing another simplistic Marxian
propaganda piece that is stewed and spiced and festooned with the usual
pedestrian- level Marxist fluff and other nonsense disguised as economics while
actually being a personal attack on a middle class American. Such efforts may
eventually bring some respectability to political spinsters and wanton tax
whores.
The Nobel Prize selection of 2008
is truly a credit to the Swedish Academy and a boon to the New York Times.
