Paying For Cancer Treatment for Children
in America With a Car Wash, Bake Sale and Fish Fry

Paying For Cancer Treatment for Children in America With a Car Wash, Bake Sale and Fish Fry, Common Dreams.org, February 3, 2012, by Wendell Potter, quoted verbatim:

“It shouldn’t be this way,” read the subject line of an email I received Friday morning from a conservative friend and fellow Southerner. “People shouldn’t have to beg for money to pay for medical care.”

At first, I thought he was referring to my column last week in which I wrote about the fundraising effort to cover the bills, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, that the husband of Canadian skier Sarah Burke is now facing. Burke died on January 19, nine days after sustaining severe head injuries in a skiing accident in Park City, Utah. I noted that had the accident occurred in Burke’s native Canada, which has a system of universal coverage, the fundraiser would not have been necessary.

But my friend was not writing about Sarah Burke. He wanted to alert me to another fundraiser, this one on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, to help pay for the mounting medical expenses for a beautiful 13-year-old girl fighting for her life at USA Children’s & Women’s Hospital in Mobile, Ala.

In late November, Caroline Richmond was rushed to the hospital after collapsing on the way home from school. Doctors quickly determined she’d had a stroke and required immediate surgery. The bad news just kept coming. The stroke had been caused by leukemia.

In the weeks following brain surgery, Caroline had to undergo chemotherapy. She later became so ill that she was put on a ventilator and had to be fed through tubes. Although she is still listed in critical condition and faces a bone marrow transplant, Caroline has made progress. She was taken off the ventilator and tubes last week, and is now eating solid food for the first time since the stroke.

As it turns out, Caroline is one of more than 50 million men, women and children who do not have health insurance in the United States, which is why her family is in the same predicament as Sarah Burke’s. Caroline’s father, Dallas, is self-employed and, like millions of other Americans who do not work for a company that offers health benefits, has not been able to find affordable coverage for his family.

A friend of the Richmonds, Robin Smith, told me Dallas is one of the hardest working people she’s ever met. She said he owns a coin-operated laundry and has “two or three” other jobs to make ends meet. “He works round the clock,” she said. “You never see him when he’s not working.”

Knowing that Dallas and his wife, Christy, are worried not only about their daughter but also about the real possibility they might be forced into bankruptcy and lose their home because of the medical bills, Smith has joined other friends of the family to raise money. Caroline’s classmates and teachers have put “Cups for Caroline” in all the homerooms at Fairhope Middle School, where Caroline is an eighth-grader. They’ve also held car washes.

Last night they were scheduled to host a bake sale and fish fry at the American Legion Post in Fairhope. It was that event, also posted on a Facebook support page, that my friend brought to my attention. Until then, I had never heard of Caroline Richmond. I suspect you hadn’t heard of her either. I am writing not only to spread the word, but also to ask that you think for a moment about walking in the Richmond family’s shoes.

It is important to understand that almost all of us who do have health coverage through the workplace are just a layoff or plant closing away from joining the Richmonds among the uninsured. Those of us who are self-employed like Dallas Richmond or who work for small businesses that can no longer pay for coverage are increasingly unlikely to find decent coverage that we can afford.

Hundreds of thousands of families file for bankruptcy and lose their homes every year nationwide because of medical debt. Many of those people actually have what they thought was adequate insurance, but find that they still have to pay far more out of their own pockets to cover thousands of dollars in bills than their budgets will allow.

My column on Sarah Burke provoked many comments, some from people who essentially wrote, “too bad, so sad.” In their opinion, Burke shouldn’t have been taking risks on the ski slopes in Utah in the first place. She should have bought coverage that would have protected her in the U.S.

Maybe so. But I wonder what those people, all of whom condemned “Obamacare,” will say about Caroline Richmond. When the reform law is fully implemented in a couple of years — assuming it goes forward — the Richmonds should be able to find coverage at an affordable price. That’s what reform was all about. To make sure that American families don’t have to lose their homes when someone gets sick and to make sure that insurance firms can no longer engage in practices that have swelled the ranks of the uninsured and underinsured.

Caroline’s story is not unique. Tragedies like her’s occur so often, in fact, that they rarely make the news anymore. But it is precisely because they are an everyday occurrence that health care reform was so urgently needed. We have been led to believe by opponents of reform that our health care system is the best in the world. The reality, of course, is that, while we do indeed have some of the world’s best doctors and hospitals, the system in which they operate has become increasingly dysfunctional and unnecessarily expensive. This is why the reform law, despite its flaws, must go forward.

Compassionate Conservatives – Mitt Romney: ‘I’m Not Concerned About The Very Poor’

With One Liberal Christian’s
Story of Poverty

Compassionate Conservatives – Mitt Romney:
‘I’m Not Concerned About The Very Poor’

Mitt Romney: ‘I’m Not Concerned About The Very Poor’, The Huffiington Post, February 1, 2012, by Luke Johnson, excerpts quoted verbatim, with essay on poverty by Logos57 owner Paul Evans:

Note by Paul Evans: I cannot republish this entire article because of copyright, however, I just want to re-emphasize that these Republicans truly do not care about us, the very poor, for I belong to that category. I will have more to say about this later.

Huffington Post: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said on Wednesday that he’s “not concerned about the very poor,” citing the social safety net in place for that segment of the populace and adding that he’s focused on the middle class.

*Midnight Oil*
Under the Overpass

“I’m in this race because I care about Americans. I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it,” the Republican front-runner said Wednesday on CNN, following his victory in the Florida primary. “I’m not concerned about the very rich, they’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of the America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.”

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien pressed him on his comments, adding that they may sound odd for Americans who are very poor.

“Well you had to finish the sentence, Soledad,” he replied. “I said ‘I’m not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.’ The challenge right now — we will hear from the Democrat party the plight of the poor. And there’s no question it’s not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle-income Americans.”

“We have a very ample safety net,” said Romney. “And we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened or whether there are holes in it. But we have food stamps, we have Medicaid, we have housing vouchers, we have programs to help the poor.”

Programs in the “safety net” are also suffering during the economic recession. Medicaid, for example faces cuts as states attempt to balance budgets at a time when more people are using the program. GOP lawmakers have also eyed cuts in food stamps as food prices rise, even though more Americans are using the the program as a consequence of the economic recession.

Romney’s policies call for cutting federal spending and reconfiguring the social safety net. He calls for an immediate five-percent cut to non-discretionary spending, which would hit the safety net hard. He proposes turning Medicaid into a block grant program and undertaking a “fundamental restructuring of government programs and services.” He also calls for capping spending at 20 percent of GDP — a significant cut — and adds that he “will pursue further cuts” as spending comes “under control.” ….

My Own Story
of Poverty and Faith

Commentary by Paul Evans: I happen to be one of the “very poor.” There are two people living with me I rescued from homelessness. I did not know them at first, but took a chance because I thought it was the right and Christian thing to do at that time. I never looked back. For almost two years now, the three of us have struggled with my own disability for mental illness, while attempting to live in my father’s house.

We are trying to pay for repairs to the home, such as replacement of a hot water heater, and also we are somehow responsible for paying the property taxes, even though my Dad owns the house. I am in severe danger of losing the home because of non-payment of these taxes. I make $8,400 as our total income. (Parenthetically, did you know that as of last February, the rate of unemployment for those making $20,000 a year or less was 31 percent?)

I actually GOT a job this last spring designing websites for a software firm in Wooster, and doing cold call telemarketing to get more work. Immediately, Social Security deducted an amount almost equal to half of what I receive from them, my food stamps were almost cut in half, and I had a new “medical spenddown” so that I was making about as much NOT working as I did with my 20 hour a week job. Is THIS how the government encourages people to get off of disability???

To just about finish our chances at survival here, six miles out in the country, we have been without a car for the last six months. (There is a chance I might actually buy a pickup this Friday. HEY!)

Do you know what it is like to go to a gas station and beg for someone to please give you a few dollars so you can drive home? Do you know what it is like to be out of money halfway through the month, for two years? Do you know actual hunger… and not being able to buy the three of you McDonald’s 99 cent double cheeseburgers? Do you know what it is like when your friends first avoid you, then drop you as friends? Well, I guess “liberal” “charity” has its limits.

I truly think that all these “moderate” or “compassionate” conservatives should have to spend six months of their lives in some kind of situation like ours, manditorily, doing some kind of service. Then we would see what kind of legislation they would come up with. For years now, we have seen exactly how little Republicans care about the little guy. People, Wake Up!!!

Most people in the United States of America will never understand this kind of poverty. But when a candidate for President of the United States says and then confirms that he is “not concerned about the very poor” in this country, it upsets me terribly, even though I totally expect that, and worse, from them. Of course it upsets me! Enough to write this post, when I have never described my poverty on this website before. For shame, Mitt Romney!

A Message for Patriotic Americans, Republicans, and Tea Party types: I imagine conservative Christians or conservatives in general may think that figuratively I am the “devil” or in some way dangerous. I want to briefly set the record straight. My Dad was a Marine in World War II. His father was a career Marine officer who finished his career in command of the Marine battalion guarding Washington, D.C. in that same war. It was the last time (so far) that we have had troops stationed in Washington. Before that “Skipper,” as we called Dad’s Dad, chased the original Sandino (think Sandinistas) around the Nicaraguan countryside, and then was in command of the Marines guarding the gunboats which patrolled the Yangtze river in China. So Dad spent three years of his childhood in (Nationalist) Shanghai.

Continuing on with my Dad’s story, after World War II, with a masters from Georgetown in Russian history, he worked for 13 years for ASA, NSA and CIA. In 1971 he received his doctorate in Russian language and literature from Yale University. I am 55 and have lived with my father my entire adult life except when I was in college. He translated eleven books that I was the editor for. He taught me. He is 86, and is in a local nursing home, with senile dementia. Please say a prayer for him if you would.

Mom had a bachelor’s degree in botany and her father, with whom we all lived eight years of my childhood, was Curator of the Smithsonian Division of Cultural Anthropology for decades. My sister, who died tragically in 2004, was a veterinarian, and well-known in dog showing circles. Yes, things might have been very different for me, had not mental illness intervened: I will note that currently I have no symptoms. As for my own credentials, although I have a bachelor’s from Miami University (of Ohio), and an “all-but-thesis” of a masters, I am about the least of my family in credentials. But I am a patriotic American, as was my Dad and his Dad before him, thank you very much. Just to set the record straight.

I also believe that I have described a very plausible situation where someone of good education could be in danger of homelessness, but I ask: Does Mitt Romney or any of that 90 percent of the middle class care?

By the way, Republicans and rich folk everywhere, what part of that thing Jesus said about a camel, the eye of a needle, and the kingdom of heaven don’t you get?

US Fed Reserve Audit Reveals 16 TRILLION in Secret 0% Interest Bailouts

Why Is the Mainstream Media Ignoring This???
Our Featured Article

Wake Up World: US Fed Reserve
Audit Reveals 16 TRILLION
in Secret 0% Interest Bailouts

LinkShare_120x600SkyscprV1

"What was revealed in the audit was startling: $16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious — the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.

"To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion. The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is “only” $14.5 trillion. The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is “only” $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration, and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000 would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world."

Note by Evans Liberal Christian Politics owner Paul Evans: What could this huge monetary transfer also be about, besides bailing out banks and corporations? What must be in the mind of conspiracy theorists, is certain to be something very sinister. However, what this also may be about is preparation for times ahead (on the time scale of decades), which may very well make this last "Great Recession" look almost like a walk in the park.

The stronger democracies in western Europe and of course the U.S. may very well need this kind of money as the world’s economies teeter and labor under huge burdens. There are simply too few resources and too many people clamoring after them. This sort of monetary transfer may make some effective response by the strong western Nations possible, in the event of a crisis. The implementation is something along the lines of the New World Order which George H.W. Bush first brought up as a real necessity, and if that is true, what we are seeing here is that Order coming to pass into reality.

We have stated here on this website before that, while this New World Order has the potential for some very substantial misuse and abuse, it may be very necessary to keep the world from still worse economic pain.

This is my own view, and I am not stupid so I do realize that there is already abuse of the kind of cash and power that these sorts of funds represent. I am simply trying to look under the hood of a world financial movement which may have something at least a little more hopeful to it than what it seems like at face value. Let us hope and also pray. The next 50 years or more, say the scientists and even the CIA, are going to be rough.

Since 2009, 88 Percent Of Income Growth
Went To Corporate Profits, Just One Percent
Went To Wages

Since 2009, 88 Percent Of Income Growth Went To Corporate Profits, Just One Percent Went To Wages, Think Progress, June 30, 2011, by Guest Blogger, excerpt quoted verbatim:

After the longest recession since WWII, many Americans are still struggling while S&P 500 corporations are sitting on $800 billion in cash and making massive profits. Now, economists from Northeastern University have released a study that finds our sluggish economic recovery has almost solely benefited corporations. According to the study:

“Between the second quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2010, real national income in the U.S. increased by $528 billion. Pre-tax corporate profits by themselves had increased by $464 billion while aggregate real wages and salaries rose by only $7 billion or only .1%. Over this six quarter period, corporate profits captured 88% of the growth in real national income while aggregate wages and salaries accounted for only slightly more than 1% of the growth in real national income. …The absence of any positive share of national income growth due to wages and salaries received by American workers during the current economic recovery is historically unprecedented.”

The New York Times adds, “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, average real hourly earnings for all employees actually declined by 1.1 percent from June 2009, when the recovery began, to May 2011, the month for which the most recent earnings numbers are available.” ….

Spotlight on Wal*Mart: How Skyrocketing Inequality Is Hurting America

Spotlight on Wal*Mart: How Skyrocketing
Inequality Is Hurting America

CEO of Walmart Makes in One Hour What the Average Employee Makes In a Year: How Skyrocketing Inequality Is Hurting America, AlterNet, June 20, 2011, by Sarah Jaffe, excerpt quoted verbatim:

A new report shows exactly who the top 0.1 percent of Americans with all the wealth are. The question is, what can we do about it?

S. Robson “Rob” Walton, Walmart chairman, has a net worth of about $19.7 billion. And he’s only number 9 on the list of 2010′s top 20 richest Americans.

a golden faucet spewing blocky golden dollar signs highlights this article in income inequality

Walmart workers, meanwhile, make around $8.75 an hour—about $18,000 a year. They’d have to work over a million years to approach what the chairman of Walmart Stores is sitting on. Alice and Jim Walton each have about $20 billion, and Christy Walton has $24 billion.

Last year Jonathan Turley noted that the CEO of Walmart, Michael Duke, makes his average employee’s yearly salary every hour.

A new report by the Washington Post on “Breakaway Wealth” contains new research by economists Jon Bakija, Adam Cole and Bradley T. Heim, who analyzed tax returns from the top 0.1 percent of earners in the U.S. That top percentile takes home more than 20 percent of the personal income in the country, and their average income is $5.4 million. The average income of the bottom 90 percent, according to the Post, is just $31,244.

The news that the income gap is growing in the United States is probably not news at all to most working people. But this data throws the trend into sharp relief. Surprise, surprise, they’re mostly not media personalities or athletes (just 3 percent). They’re chief executives and managers (41 percent), and of course they work in finance (18 percent)–the same executives who are benefiting nicely from policies that have favored the rich and tilted the playing field in their favor, maintaining low personal and corporate tax rates and in some cases actually bailed their companies out with government funds.

Executive pay has been heading sharply upward since the 1970s, but at the moment the gap looks especially ugly as unemployment stagnates and real wages decline, as conservatives attack union pay and benefits and Congress has Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare in its sights.

Moreover, it’s not an inevitable result of the invisible hand of the free market. The Post writes:

“What the research showed is that while executive pay at the largest U.S. companies was relatively flat in the ’50s and ’60s, it began a rapid ascent sometime in the ’70s.

As it happens, this was about the same time that income inequality began to widen in the United States, according to the Saez figures.

More importantly, however, the finding that executive pay was flat in the ’50s and ’60s, when firms were growing, appears to contradict the idea that executive pay should naturally rise when companies grow.

This is a ‘challenge for the market story,’ Frydman said.”

The Post offers one other possible explanation. Economists theorize that the “social norms that once reined in executive pay” are gone. A dairy executive the Post lovingly describe from the 1970s turned down raises several times, saying that he made enough money. There are few such protestations from today’s multimillionaires.

We got the New Deal during the Great Depression, let’s not forget, less because we had benevolent overlords than because the wolves were at the door. Communism had come to Russia; unions were strong and many run by socialists themselves. The New Deal was a compromise position between the threat of communism, organizing by progressive and socialist activists aligned with labor, and the pushback from business. And during the ’50s and ’60s, while executive pay was less exorbitant, those New Deal programs were still strong and unions had organized over 30 percent of the workforce. (Even now, the median wage for union workers is more than $10,000 a year more than non-union.)

Those “social norms” started to change in the 1970s as union density dropped and business fought back hard against the New Deal. They began to change fast in the ’80s, with Reagan’s deregulation-first agenda—in 1980, CEOs made 42 times what workers made; now it’s 343 times. This, coupled with the failures of communism in practice, led to what British author Mark Fisher calls “capitalist realism” — the idea that there is no alternative and so we’re stuck with what we’ve got. It might not be fair that the company CEO makes hundreds of times your salary, but that’s the way the system is, and it’s the best system we’ve got. ….

Why the Republican War on Workers’ Rights Undermines the American Economy

Why the Republican War on Workers’ Rights
Undermines the American Economy

Why the Republican War on Workers’ Rights Undermines the American Economy, Robert Reich.org, June 14, 2011, by Robert Reich, used with permission, quoted verbatim:

The battle has resumed in Wisconsin. The state supreme court has allowed Governor Scott Walker to strip bargaining rights from state workers.

protest sign saying 'They Only Call It Class War When We Fight Back

Meanwhile, governors and legislators in New Hampshire and Missouri are attacking private unions, seeking to make the states so-called “open shop” where workers can get all the benefits of being union members without paying union dues. Needless to say this ploy undermines the capacity of unions to do much of anything. Other Republican governors and legislatures are following suit.

Republicans in Congress are taking aim at the National Labor Relations Board, which issued a relatively minor proposed rule change allowing workers to vote on whether to unionize soon after a union has been proposed, rather than allowing employers to delay the vote for years. Many employers have used the delaying tactics to retaliate against workers who try to organize, and intimidate others into rejecting a union.

This war on workers’ rights is an assault on the middle class, and it is undermining the American economy.

The American economy can’t get out of neutral until American workers have more money in their pockets to buy what they produce. And unions are the best way to give them the bargaining power to get better pay.

For three decades after World War II – I call it the “Great Prosperity” – wages rose in tandem with productivity. Americans shared the gains of growth, and had enough money to buy what they produced.

That’s largely due to the role of labor unions. In 1955, over a third of American workers in the private sector were unionized. Today, fewer than 7 percent are.

With the decline of unions has come the stagnation of American wages. More and more of the total income and wealth of America has gone to the very top. The middle class’s purchasing power has depended on mothers going into paid work, everyone working longer hours, and, finally, the middle class going deep into debt, using their homes as collateral.

But now all these coping mechanisms are exhausted — and we’re living with the consequence.

Some say the Great Prosperity was an anomaly. America’s major competitors lay in ruins. We had the world to ourselves. According to this view, there’s no going back.

But this view is wrong. If you want to see the same basic bargain we had then, take a look at Germany now.

Germany is growing much faster than the United States. Its unemployment rate is now only 6.1 percent (we’re now at 9.1 percent).

What’s Germany’s secret? In sharp contrast to the decades of stagnant wages in America, real average hourly pay has risen almost 30 percent there since 1985. Germany has been investing substantially in education and infrastructure.

Online and DVD Software Training

How did German workers do it? A big part of the story is German labor unions are still powerful enough to insist that German workers get their fair share of the economy’s gains.

That’s why pay at the top in Germany hasn’t risen any faster than pay in the middle. As David Leonhardt reported in the New York Times recently, the top 1 percent of German households earns about 11 percent of all income – a percent that hasn’t changed in four decades.

Contrast this with the United States, where the top 1 percent went from getting 9 percent of total income in the late 1970s to more than 20 percent today.

The only way back toward sustained growth and prosperity in the United States is to remake the basic bargain linking pay to productivity. This would give the American middle class the purchasing power they need to keep the economy going.

Part of the answer is, as in Germany, stronger labor unions — unions strong enough to demand a fair share of the gains from productivity growth.

The current Republican assault on workers’ rights continues a thirty-year war on American workers’ wages. That long-term war has finally taken its toll on the American economy.

It’s time to fight back.
