I'm Batman Pt 2

We looked at the similarities to other totalitarian countries and their evolution to some of the current feelings and beliefs here in America. The first word that come to mind is a term that began in the late eighties. I remember it was  Rev. Jesse Jackson who I first heard use the term disenfranchised. Webster's defines it as depriving an individual of a right or power. The term is normally used in denying someone's right to vote. The dangerous difference in which Jesse Jackson used it was in economic situations for minorities. Let's think about that. Out there there are citizens who believe that it's a human right to be provided with a job. That society owes them a living just for existing. In the years that I have heard Jackson or others with the same social justice beliefs speak you never hear them talking about "Earning" a living. Even today's unionized workplace workers hold their employers hostage with their demands. Demands? The latest example was the Hostess debacle where a few hundred workers helped cause the lose of thousands of jobs. I say helped because there was also upper management issue that attributed to the bankruptcy.

In one of Bain's speeches in the Dark Knight Rises, he commands the average citizen to go after the affluent and demand their fair share and steal it back. These types of mindsets assume that the wealthy played no part in earning their wealth and status. That somehow the rich attained their worth in some criminal or oppressive manner. The disenfranchised belief system creates a boogie man out of the wealthy white and spawns a psychosis in those that hold to it precepts. As in the movie where the upper crust were put on trial simply for being, Obama put the top earners on trail in the public eye. Starting with Joe the Plumber and his spread the wealth comment. The "you didn't build this" statement, paying their fair share is the current mantra against the one percent. The middle class has been sent into such a frenzy that they pay no attention to the data and the facts that those that earn $250,000 and more pay the lions share of the tax revenues. Just like sharks in a frenzy that attack each while feeding, Obama has set the middle class off to attack the very drivers of our economy.

Just like in the movie there is an ulterior motive to set off the middle class. Those being manipulated think that it's all for their benefit. We saw yesterday on numerous news outlets the video clip of the Detroit council member. The speech she gave was that such a vast majority of those in the city of Detroit and the county it is in voted for Obama that now he owes it to them to bail them out of their situation, Quid Pro Quo. I suspect that bailout may not come, for what I suspect is his next step there needs to be much more suffering and economic pain. That next step is what is really driving the administrations policies. The current administration wants to kill democracy. Yes I just said that. As R'as a Ghul wanted to destroy Gotham because it grew corrupt (wealthy), this administration sees capitalism and democracy antiquated and corrupt. The only way they can convince the American public to buy in is to keep the pain coming. To keep reminding us that is was the greed of capitalism that has brought us to the fiscal cliff. Where is our Batman? The man that even with all of our flaws sees our system as what makes us powerful and unique as a country. Where is Batman? I'm Batman
