Who the hell is EQAndyBuzz and why you are “not” paying for his whole life.

EQ cannot enroll in a Head Start program to help get him ready for job training. He is a white, christian male and does not qualify. Because of steps President Obama has taken to improve the program … EQ can take the SATs at his own expense. However, even if EQ does well, he cannot afford college tuition and cannot get a loan. Why?

Because in 2006 Barney Frank and Chris Dodd made a concerted effort to bring down the Bush administration and with that the entire financial industry. An industry where many of the investors were white, christian, middle class males who worked their butts off for 35 or more years to prepare for their retirement. When the markets crashed, people like EQ not only lost their jobs, but also most of their portfolio.

To compensate for the lack of a job, instead of taking unemployment or welfare, EQ worked at menial jobs and supplemented his meager income with his retirement funds until something better came along.

EQ undergoes surgery, however, his health insurance consists of paying for COBRA at $1000 per month because he cannot buy affordable health insurance, thanks to Obama.

EQ’s child gets sick and spends a year in residential treatment which bankrupts EQ. EQ asks the government for assistance with locating facilities. He is told he doesn’t qualify for assistance.

To get back in the saddle, EQ travels halfway across the country for a job which will separate him from his family. He sleeps on an air mattress and eats rice and beans for 6 months, living in 1 small room. He bums rides from the people he works with and his only luxury is renting a car every couple of weekends so he can go shopping for essentials. For entertainment EQ treats himself to Netflix.

EQ is a veteran. He applies for jobs at USA jobs and other government job site. He is told that he is over 36 years old and that his skin color and sex puts him at the bottom of the list for jobs.

EQ finally finds a job at home in the field of his choice. Despite all the “help” the government says it provides, EQ did it on his own, which in the minds of the liberals in this country, makes him part of the 1% who should pay more taxes.

You don’t understand.
Guess you don’t realize that because you were born white you have had it made all your life.

You only recently released your slaves.
You drive high powered vehicles.
You constantly put down the Black man.
You want to keep women barefoot and pregnant.
You have had everything ‘given’ to you for your entire life.
You don’t want clean air.
You hate children that aren’t yours.
You don’t want clean water.

So, now that the ‘chickens have come home to roost, it is time for you to pay for your past sins.

I guess if people whose great great grandparents weren’t even born yet can be considered products of slavery, the fact that your grandparents didn’t come to this country until the early 1900’s makes YOU guilty of owning and promoting slaves/slavery.

Bizarro world at its finest.

Alas, Team Obama has omitted a few milestones from the life of Julia:

4 months: Julia’s mother decides that giving birth will be hard on her figure. She kills Julia. Under Barack Obama, her right to do so is absolutely nonnegotiable.

10 years: Trapped in a failing and dangerous public school, Julia (another Julia, not the dead one) is terrified and miserable. Under the Obama administration, protecting the government education monopoly from competition and accountability is almost as sacrosanct as abortion. School-choice programs are severely constrained or eliminated. Julia falls behind.

21 years: After barely completing her high-school degree in her god-awful school, Julia goes looking for a job. There aren’t many, especially for people without college degrees. Julia kicks around the food-service and hospitality industries for a while, and ends up getting a job as a bartender. Even at her relatively low level of income, she pays a host of direct and indirect taxes to help subsidize Obama donors and supporters at politically connected businesses. She can’t quite figure out why President Obama’s pet millionaires and billionaires need her money more than she does.

22 years: After working in the bar for a while, Julia decides she likes it and wants to open her own place. But she’ll need capital to get that done. Under Obama, there is little or no credit available to small entrepreneurs, because we never got around to fixing the problems in the banking system, instead choosing to futz around with things like the disclosures on credit-card offers and micromanaging swipe fees and grandstanding about bonuses. Julia does not open her new business, and she doesn’t hire any other Julias to build, decorate, supply, or staff it.

23 years: Being a bartender, Julia works late at night. Under Obama, the federal government supports laws that make it difficult or impossible for a private citizen to own a gun in many places. Leaving her bar one night, the defenseless Julia is killed in the street. Ironically, the gun used to kill her was sold to a Mexican drug cartel under a program run by President Obama’s Department of Justice.

57 years: Julia (different Julia, not one of the dead ones) has been paying very high taxes for most of her life, mainly to support three federal programs: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. In fact, the payroll tax diverts about 12 percent of her income — income she might have saved — into the entitlements. Under President Obama, stubborn refusal to reform these unsustainable entitlements means that the programs have to be radically cut or entirely eliminated, and Julia and her whole generation get hosed in spite of the fact that they have been taxed for decades under the phony promise that they were “paying into” the programs. The only alternative to massive cuts was an 88 percent increase in all federal taxes, which already have been rising to offset costs from Obamacare, which were wildly underestimated.

88 years: Julia (different Julia) passes away in 2022. And she got out just in time: Policies adopted by the Obama administration sent the national debt to $71,000 per person and climbing.
