Why we’re going to lose if flyover sheeple don’t get off their ass and vote

If we’re so useless and insignificant to the nation’s well being, why they keep trying to make 
us shell out big bucks for T-shirts with messages most people could get just by looking at us?

I warn you I’m going to show you some calculations and data tables here. My message is one I can’t put on a T-shirt and therefore one most people don’t have a lot of patience with. It’s about who’s really in charge, and why they are definitely going to cheat us out of a fair election for the second straight time.

My line of argument will be provided up front. But my points are just generalizations and easy to dismiss as prejudiced and anecdotal. They aren’t. Why you really should take time to study the cells and tables. Okay?

Here’s my point in a nutshell. There is an early invulnerable elite in this country, in every single state as it turns out. These are people who work for the government. Unlike every privately or self-employed citizen in the rest of the country, their compensation is not subject to risk. They have guaranteed state pension plans government unions have negotiated with politicians who are not financially responsible for economic downturns or poor investments by insurance companies. They also have virtually no risk on the job of being fired for misconduct or absenteeism or incompetence. Why the DMV has become infamous everywhere for poor customer service, faulty paperwork, annoying make-work forms, and phones that invariably go to voicemail or numbered options for reaching a recorded message. In the old days of railroads, there was a term used to describe union-negotiated jobs that involved no work but (mostly) being on the train. Featherbedders. 

We are being ruled in every part of our lives by the new class of Featherbedders which was born as a temporary measure by FDR, rarified into permanency by Truman, and perpetuated by all governments since then because it’s so hard to discipline, reform, or deconstruct. They live on government budgets that just keep going up as their elected pawns charge the taxpayers for private “pork barrels” they need for re-election. Voting politicians out of office doesn’t work because most become captive of the system as soon as they reach public office. The only way to dismantle corrupt and inequitable situation is to reintroduce risk into the demographic of government deployment. That is the real mission of MAGA and a second Trump Presidency. It is the only possible salvation of this country and your own liberty and quality of life. 

That’s why all government employees have as their own personal objective riding the gravy train forever, and running down any and all who object by running over them with the same train.

Which they have been preparing to do and making great progress doing since 2016. Why they have ceaselessly sought to obstruct, libel, and prosecute Trump in the courts, because he is the one man who has the talent and determination to free the American people from the manacles of their governments.

They are gearing up even now to steal the 2024 election even more blatantly than they did in 2020 because not enough of you got made enough to fight back. They’re using every dirty trick in (and out) of the book to destroy him and all those who have the courage to support him, including you, whether they’ve gotten around to you yet or not. They’re still concocting fraudulent legal charges against and running roughshod over the legal percents for fairness they simply ignore while you snooze on from day to day. 

What you haven’t realized yet is that they will never stop. They are redoubling their efforts to overload and extend election night to more weeks of counting fraudulent, unconfirmable ballots. If Trump wins anyway, they intend to vote not to certify his election because of a transparently fake 14th Amendment connected the the criminal setup they called Insurrection, and those in the know have documented as Fedsurrection, a conspiracy to bring down Trump with lies about January 6.

In the meantime they are about to steal majority control of the House from Republicans by means of blackmail and payoffs. Not in November but within a month or two. They are also concocting legislation to do away with the Electoral College, disbar the best lawyers defending Trump, writing regulations to Trump from firing unethical, incompetent, and federal government workers, and very probably blackmailing many members of Congress for misdeeds financial, marital, and sexual. Why they will keep their military contractor kickbacks safe by pouting more money through the laundering racket called a Ukraine, and why they will keep trying to build their next huge constituency of government dependents by eliminating all barriers to the U.S. border.

All of this underway at this very moment. While you don’t really keep up with the news and think everyone who does is just some political fanatic best ignored. 

Why calculations and tables. Here’s the first one. As a smart man once said, the best way to get at the root of villainy is to “Follow the money.”

What they don’t tell you is that isn’t just billionaires who can raise the median above the arithmetic average. Large populations of the very well-to-do have a far greater impact. For now, all I’m asking that you find your own state and make a note of both the mean and the median. The entries are in alphabetical order. Don’t forget that in this application you can study a larger version of any image by clicking on it, then returning by finding the ‘X’ on screen and clicking on that. Give it a try. Here the average incomes of all 50 states. Note that Washington DC is not included on the list because it isn’t a state. Later, we’ll pull out some highlights and lowlights for specific representative states.


Next, here’s an equivalent table for government employees in every state. The entries are in numerical order, from highest average compensation to lowest. No median incomes are computed for us. All I’m asking here is that you find your state and note the annual salary of government employees in your state. Bear in mind that that dollar value of their pension and health benefits are not included, as they are almost certainly far higher than for the population as a whole. Communicating the kind of income differences we’re talking about here is not on their list of minimum information required. Wherever appropriate for concealing differentials that don’t look good, they don’t calculate or display the data.


All these numbers and nothing yet about the District of Columbia. That’s next. The place we’re talking about:

Showing you the map because they want to confuse the issue 
somewhat. Big overlap of federal employees who work in 
DC but live (or have retired to) Virginia and Maryland.


It would us helps to know the population of the official District of Columbia.

Note that nearby Baltimore has suffered a population decline, while DC grew 
sharply 
beginning in the Bush/Obama years, except for a brief tickdown 
that corresponds to the Trump administration between 2016 and 2020.

Looking at the last two graphics together, it’s not unfair to conclude they don’t want us to compute accurately the full economic impact of such government-heavy employment through multiple adjoining states. If we confine ourselves to DC itself, over 26 percent of the residents have federal jobs. We can’t subtract an unknown number (30 percent?) of students and juveniles from the 74 percent remaining. But we’re guessing that only about 40 percent of DC’s official population consists of the rest of the urban support system required for a well paid, high living city: doctors, real estate lawyers and brokers, shopkeepers, private school teachers, bank tellers, IT repairmen, delivery drivers, restaurant workers, caterers, dry cleaners, cabdrivers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, limo drivers, hairdressers, waitresses, maids, au-pairs, antique dealers, drug dealers, burglars, pickpockets, prostitutes, the homeless, and priests. Seems like a big load for them to carry. What they are admitting overall, though, is the federal employment in this fairly small, commuter-close multi-state environment is almost equal to the total population of the District itself. Kind of its own kingdom if you dispense with arbitrary and obsolete concepts like borders, eh?

How much do you suppose the DC residents are getting paid a year?


And the federal workers?

Not including risk-free pension and health benefits

Now we’re deep into the guts of it all. The most important question is who else do these federal employees work for? Time for the breakdown by political party:


Registered Democrats almost double registered Republicans. Collectively, they’re the federal version of the DMV. They may not know much about political science, economics, of foreign affairs, but they do know they don’t ever want to be fired, don’t want anyone messing with their solid gold pension plans, and they don’t rabid politicians slashing their agency budgets or eliminating them altogether. The only thing they are really for is keeping everything in this bloated, so-nothing system the same. You want me to be on a jury when you try one of threatening motherfuckers? I’m your man. You want to audit every name on the list you give me? Sure I will, or at least assign it to somebody I can throw under the bus later. What else do want? You want me to lie on the witness stand or to Congress? Sure. I’m your woman. “He touched me.” I know how to do that. How I got my last promotion to Deputy Assistant Secretary…

This is the mentality that defines the elites you’re up against more than the rantings of psychopathic politicians in Congress of the administration. They are great immovable, invulnerable mass of the best paid freeloaders on earth, and they will do anything in the world to keep you off their comfy featherbed. They make more money than most of you, which is perverse trick of Democrat/New Deal/Obama deals to build and maintain a coalition by constructing the biggest welfare system in human history: people who work (nominally) for agencies designed to create ever more expensive welfare systems for all the indigent citizens they have never helped for real in 90 years.

The necessity? Oppose and vote against all the Democrats you can. Work at it, not casually but for all the hours you can possibly spare. Waiting for November is locking the barn door after the horse has bolted.

I intend to come back and discuss some particulars of the charts above. But I’m tired for now. See you later. In the meantime make those comparisons between average incomes in your state and the incomes of government workers in the federal government and your own state. Take a closer look at the states you know to be the worst run, most besieged by crime, poverty, broken school systems, and homelessness, and see how high the state incomes are in comparison to yours and others and the feds.

Be back after a bit.
