The Middle Class Is Obama's Core Support To Lose

President Obama will give his state of the Union address soon and is said to be prepared to provide trinkets to the middle class in order to persuade that largest group of voters that things are getting better. For those of us who are poor and out of work that is a non sequiter, yet it does provide the opportunity to comment upon why things are not getting better except the propaganda.

Fundamentally the rich have decided that their best future investment is in the populous nations abroad with more consumers and producers in China, India and elsewhere. Americans should just be pacified consumers in a tranquil herd purchasing imported products and working in financial relocated services, government and health industries that are not materially productive. The largest private employer in Texas is the restaurant 'industry' that produces something less than durable goods.

The United States after the cold war found itself in a global environment in which the corporate world could set about cherry picking to increase its wealth. The White House and Congress have not helped at all or even recognized the phenomena of corporatism that concentrates wealth and erodes national human development.

In Alaska the Governor's recent state of the Union address made it seem as if he had never read an Alaska history book--Mr. Parnell is unaware that the state got all of its land as a donation from the Federal Government, and the Federal Government has been the largest investor in the state since the Matanuska Colony of the 1930's. The Governor believes foreign oil corporations are like local small businesses and the federal government stands in their way of development by slowing offshore and onshore despoliation of natural resource extraction and pollution.

In 2006 more than 9 billion dollars were spent by the federal government in the state of Alaska according to one report.

Alaska's state government is bought and paid for by big oil of course--global oil, and the lithium gap for electric vehicle batteries means that the Argentine's have cornered the world market leaving us to pursue hydrogen fuel cells or some other electric energy technology with a more renewable energy criteria--the President needs to get hot on that.

Some Alaskans may believe that the state capital should be moved to the city of Tok in order that they might arrive more quickly at Beaver Creek--it's mid-way between the inside passage hang out of whales and the fierce whale hunters of the North slope locale. Some say that Tok is too cold for an Alaskan State capital yet obviously with enough Arctic Sea oil spills, pollution of the air and chemical corrupting of the environment global warming will raise the temperatures warm enough to suit state bureaucrats.

It is my hope that President Obama is not so unaware of U.S. and current history that he fails to recognize the need for the U.S. Government to regulate the maximum size of corporations in order to prevent a de facto corporatist network state of totalitarian influence and the transition of the United States into a kind of pacified India-like colony of globalists with a more passive, tranquil attitude toward their iron law of wages 'natural rulers'. A Russian Imperial style 'table of ranks' will allow each worker to know their appropriate place in corporate and government worlds--and all will have the right to watch T.V.
