Rich Manhattanite elites wanted to tax the people who work for them for the privilege of commuting to work. Mayor Bloomberg (who’s one of them) was all for it. Fortunately, the proposal was defeated in Albany, New York’s state capital. Chalk one up for the middle class this time.

On both sides of the globe, it’s an open secret that thousands of U.S. jobs have been moved to low-wage countries, especially India. Here’s what the jobs look like when they arrive there:

And this is what is left behind in the U.S.:

Now, the people reaping the really big profits in India (not the employees themselves, but their bosses) are no fools. They know that the U.S. is a democracy, and that an election is right around the corner. Are they afraid that working Americans will assert themselves at the polls, and elect candidates who might attempt to rein in the permanent elimination of American jobs through outsourcing?

Apparently not. They know how our political system works, and that our ruling elites have no intention whatsoever of standing in the way of globalization. But they’ve expressed resentment that when hired as consultants inside the U.S., they sometimes have no choice but to hire American workers for American jobs.

Remember the 1992 election? President Bush was sitting in the White House. A well-spoken Democrat—a fresh face on the national scene—came along and promised change from business-as-usual. He avoided the usual partisan rhetoric and said his goal was to bring us all together. He went out of his way to reach out to Middle America and, among other things, promised a middle class tax cut.

Sound familiar?

Once Bill Clinton was elected, he quickly forgot about his promise and abandoned the tax break for the middle class. Will Barack Obama do the same?

� “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.”

—Late billionaire Leona Helmsley�

According to a study of corporate tax returns filed for the years between 1998 and 2005 issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), over 60% of U.S. corporations paid no corporate income tax at all.

For large foreign-owned corporations operating in the U.S., the number is even higher: almost 75%.

All of this is entirely above-board. After all, the government itself provided the statistics and is therefore fully aware of what is going on.

If you, for some twisted reason, want to contribute your money to a destructive rather than a constructive cause, you may have trouble finding a charity that promotes auto theft, drug dealing, or child abuse.

But now, you can support illegal immigration.

A “National Immigrant Bond Fund” (bond not as in stocks and bonds, but as in “get out of jail free”) has been set up to help illegals caught in raids get out of jail and go back to the business of subverting our laws, depressing our wages, and burdening our social service system. High crime rates, dilution of American culture, and urban overcrowding are an added bonus.

I’m not making this up. Forbes just reported on it in glowing terms.

And surprise, surprise, the fund is the brainchild of a multi-millionaire who holds American workers and American laws in contempt. His name is Bob Hildreth, and he owns a company called International Bank Services that trades in corporate debt. He’s already ponied up hundreds of thousands of dollars to spring illegals from detention and hopes you will as well.

So if you so choose, now you, too, can contribute to the downfall of American society. Literally. Visa and MasterCard accepted.
