“Happy July 4th Rich Americans”

By Arthur Piccolo

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. July 4, 2014: It will be a very, very good July 4th for the richest Americans in Obama’s America. It is Party Time in the Hamptons, on Martha’s Vineyard and all the elite summer enclaves coast to coast.

In case you didn’t hear, the Dow Jones stock index and all the others reached an historic high on July 3rd just in time for the Big Weekend. Time to cool the vintage champagne and have the summer staff light up the barbecue for those big expensive top quality thick stakes and don’t forget the giant shrimps.

Life has been good indeed for the rich; the richer the better , since Barack Obama became President in 2009. Those were gloomy days for the rich after their greed crashed the economy. No it did not make them poor; don’t worry, not at all, but their fortunes stopped growing as fast as they had. That’s sad.

But since 2009 it has been good news and it just keeps getting better with all those interest free hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars Obama’s Fed to his delight has been feeding the rich and their banks these last 5+ years. And now this RECORD highs on the stock exchanges for July 4th.  Wow!!

Let’s CELEBRATE and wish for even more good fortune for the Rich!

What a  fabulous way to celebrate INDEPENDENCE Day for the Rich!

Now going back to July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia Our Founding Fathers (and their wives, mothers and daughters back home out of sight ) were not the Poor of Colonial America for sure and they wanted to protect their wealth no doubt but they had something else on their mind 238 years ago this month.

They were obviously willing to risk their wealth and their lives too for a Greater Good ,.. FREEDOM for everyone in those 13 colonies from oppressive British rule even if it would not serve to protect their wealth.

So what if we took Barack Obama and the 1% of Americans he has done so much for these last 5+ years and took them on a trip to the past back to Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. Think – they would be Revolutionaries or would they turn and run back to their safe and exclusive homes in the Hamptons.

I have no doubt that is exactly what Barack and the Rich Boys would do. There is no doubt whatsoever they are creatures of the Status Quo. Life is good very, very good for them why change anything?? Who cares who else is suffering? It is not their problem. Did anyone force so many to be poor? These laggards who do not know how to take care of themselves the way Rich Americans do very, very, very well at everyone else’s expense.

Still have doubts? Think that Obama and the Boys would have signed onto Revolution back in July 1776? Let’s take a closer look at the Declaration of Independence from July 4, 1776, and imagine if our Rich would have signed it and gone into war with the British. Let’s see I have a copy here …

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Good start to the Declaration and then it gets better ….

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Could you image Barack Obama or his rich friends saying anything like that? NO WAY!

… next comes this ..

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

Obama could probably agree with this part especially the beginning.

But the next part is a problem for Obama and his rich Americans  ..

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”

Then there is a long list of grievances against King George 3 before the Declaration of Independence ends with a powerful flourish …..

“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Woo, woo, woo. Sorry this goes way to far: “We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” This is asking far, far too much of Barack Obama and the Rich even if they were back in 1776. Maybe they could give up their honor since they don’t have any but their lives or worse their Fortune are you kidding…

After all the billions they have made these last 5+ years under President Barack Obama’s “leadership” give it up are you crazy, and even worse right now when the stock market has just hit highs never seen going all the way back to July 4, 1776, and beyond.

Is it possible there are some Americans here on July 4, 2014, who still do not know yet that the purpose of the American Revolution of 1776 was to provide the rich the freedom to get richer? Hello! Where have you been???

All President Barack Obama is doing is playing his necessary part.

So be quiet and go watch the Fireworks!
