Australian 85 year old lady Kitty Werthmann o's plans

This is Obama's plan for us.

1938 Austria  Kitty Werthmann is 85 years old. This is a SCARY piece of HISTORY. Read & perhaps learn something new from HISTORY and "CHANGE". America truly is the Greatest Country in the World.  By: Kitty Werthmann What I am about to tell you is something you've probably never heard or will ever read in history books. I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide - 98% of the vote. I've never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force. In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates. Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people - about 30 daily. The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna , Linz , and Graz were destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted. We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler. We were overjoyed, and, for three days, we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed. After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service. Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn't support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage. Hitler Targets Education - Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children: Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler's picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn't pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang "Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles" and had physical education. Sunday became National Youth Day, with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time, the second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300 and the third time they would be subject to jail. The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free. We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had. My mother was very unhappy. When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn't do that and she told me that someday, when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun - no sports - and no political indoctrination. I hated it at first, but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing. Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time, unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler. It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did, so that I wasn't exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy. Equal Rights Hits Home: In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant, if you didn't work, you didn't get a ration card and if you didn't have a card, you starved to death. Women who stayed home to raise their families didn't have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men. Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps. During the day, the girls worked on the farms and at night they returned to their barracks for military training, just like the boys. They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged, but were used in the front lines. When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat. Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service. Hitler Restructured the Family Through Daycare: When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children, ages 4 weeks to school age, and leave them there around-the-clock, 7 days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had. Health Care and Small Business Suffer Under Government Controls: Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna . After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries. As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing and housing. We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control. We had consumer protection. We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the livestock, then tell the farmers what to produce and how to produce it. "Mercy Killing" Redefined: In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated. So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. W hen I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work. I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day, I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van. I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness. As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia. The Final Steps - Gun Laws: Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law-abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily. No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up. Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little, eroded our freedom. After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria. Women were raped, pre-teen to elderly. The press never wrote about this, either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldn't destroy, they burned. We called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops mobilized. Those who couldn't, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians. This is an eye witness account. "It's true...those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don't Let Freedom Slip Away! "After America, There is No Place to Go". Please forward this message to other voters who may not have seen it. "After America, There is No Place to Go". The author of this article lives in South Dakota and is very active in attempting to maintain our freedom. I encourage everybody to read this article and pass it along. I see so many parallels in this country; are we going to sit by and watch it happen? Spread the word; also contact your congressional reps; vote them out, if they don't do what they should. If you don't want to be bothered, then you're part of the problem! Google Kitty Werthmann and you will see articles and videos.

Fiscal Cliff Discussion- Newsmax

A growing number of Democrats say they are willing to let the country
go off the fiscal cliff if a deal cannot be reached by Jan. 1 that
raises taxes on the top two percent of earners while protecting costly
entitlement programs.

Their theory in this game of chicken with Republicans is that it will
be easier in January to lower taxes for 98 percent of the country
while finding the best possible parts of the federal budget to cut —
in line with long-held goals of the nation's liberal party. They also
think they'll be in a better position to save most, if not all, of
massive entitlements like Medicare as well as pet projects.

The fiscal cliff, originally created to force a
legislatively-appointed supercommittee to make significant cuts to the
federal budget, is roughly $500 billion mix of budget cuts and tax
increases.

It includes the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts and Obama-era
payroll tax cut, massive cuts to the military and jobless benefits,
and a decrease in Medicare reimbursement rates.

This will send tax on bond interest to 44.6 percent from 35 percent;
on capital gains to 25 percent from 15 percent and on dividends to
44.6 percent from 15 percent, Forbes magazine pointed out Monday.

The average family will pay an extra $2,000 to $3,000 in income taxes
if Congress fails to reach an agreement before the Bush tax cuts
expire on Jan. 1, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The economy would shrink by 0.5 percent, the CBO has found.

Experts have consistently predicted that the overall economy would
take a massive hit if the country goes over the cliff, likely sending
it into recession. Still, since July, Democrats increasingly have made
the case that it wouldn't be so bad.

Led by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Democrats have pushed the idea that
the cliff is not as bad as the hype, with it being more of a “slope”
than a “cliff.”

Pentagon cuts, they say, would be phased in, and the tax hikes,
including the payroll hike, could also be slowed. If this happens,
according to The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, there would
be a few weeks at the beginning of 2013 for a deal to quickly be
reached.

Sen. Charles Schumer backs Murray, also saying that Democrats can’t
cave in. He and other Democrats believe that Obama won a mandate for
increased taxes with the presidential election.

“[President Obama] campaigned on it clearly,” the veteran New York
Democrat said on “Meet the Press.” “He didn’t back off it.”

Also weighing in on Monday in a New York Times Op-Ed was billionaire
investor Warren Buffett, who has said he think the country will be
just fine going over the fiscal cliff.

While it's not ideal, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway thinks that
Obama must be willing to keep pushing for higher taxes on the wealthy,
even if it triggers the automatic onset of tax increases and spending
cuts on Jan.1.

The U.S. economy, he said, can weather it for a month or two. "We're
not going to permanently cripple ourselves," Buffett told CNN last
week.

Buffett shrugged off the Congressional Budget Office's warnings that
failure to address the fiscal cliff by Dec. 31 could lead to a
recession.

"We have a very resilient economy," said Buffett, a long-time Democrat
and staunch Obama supporter. "The fact that [lawmakers] can't get
along for the month of January is not going to torpedo the economy."

But even as some Republicans waver on taxes, others have renewed the
call for no tax hikes.

“A tax increase never created a new job in this country,” Rep. Tom
Price, R-Ga., said on “Fox News Sunday.” “It doesn’t make any sense to
us to raise taxes on job creators in this time of economic challenge.”

And House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said raising tax rates
will stymie job creation. But he also said he is willing to raise
revenue through tax reform and by eliminating “loopholes” in the tax
code.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., has not said whether he
would vote for tax increases.

“A lot has been said about this pledge,” Cantor said on MSNBC Monday
morning, referring to the popular no-tax pledge pushed by anti-tax
activist Grover Norquist.

“I will tell you when I go to the constituents that re-elected me, it
is not about that pledge, it really is about trying to solve
problems," Cantor said. "And as we know, this election we just went
through is very much about, number one, what are we going to do to
reclaim a momentum in this economy? How do we get us back to that?
And, two, how do you solve a problem?”

Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Senate
Budget Committee, echoed Cantor, saying in an interview that reforming
the outdated tax code could stir up new revenues without raising tax
rates.

"We need to create growth, which creates jobs, not damaging growth by
huge tax increases," Sessions told Fox News.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Monday shows a solid majority of
respondents -- two-thirds -- supports the Democratic stance that any
agreement should include a mix of spending cuts and tax increases. Of
that total, Republicans favor such an approach by 52 to 44 percent.

Even if effects of the cliff felt by Americans could be held off
temporarily, the markets may not fare so well.

“Markets are going to go into an absolute tailspin, and I don’t think
we want to risk that, especially with leadership right now trying to
find a deal,” said Gabriel Horwitz, director of the economic program
for Third Way, a centrist think tank. “I think the market reaction is
going to happen immediately.”

“Rather than stop the country from going over the fiscal cliff and
preventing the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax relief, they are
prepared to Thelma-and-Louise the American economy right over the
cliff,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the top Republican on the
Finance Committee. “That is an astonishing admission.”

William Galston, a senior fellow in governance studies at the
Brookings Institution, told CNN that Murray's form of brinksmanshipis
best avoided.

"To be sure, no one believes that non-agreement by December 31 would
be the end of the story. After a period of finger-pointing,
discussions would resume," Galston wrote last week in a New Republic
opinion piece. "But equally, no one knows how the failure to reach
agreement before the end of 2012 would affect the dynamics of the
negotiations."

In addition, "we can be reasonably sure ... that national and global
markets would react adversely and that businesses, which are already
retreating from planned investments in new plant and equipment, would
become even more uncertain and risk-averse."

Murray said in July, and again after the election in November, that
without increasing taxes for some Americans, Democrats would balk at
any deal Republicans propose.

By waiting until January to cut taxes for the bottom 98 percent,
rather than increasing taxes for the top two percent, it may be easier
for Republicans to support the concept - based on timing and
semantics, Murray and other Democrats seem to think.

“We can’t accept an unfair deal that piles all of this on the middle
class and tells them they have to support it,” Murray said on ABC in
November. “We have to make sure that the wealthiest of Americans pay
their fair share. If Republicans, many of whom were elected after
campaigning against tax hikes, won’t agree, Democrats shouldn’t
blink... We’ll start over next year and whatever we do will be a tax
cut for whatever package we put together. That may be the way to get
past this.”

While many Republicans are now saying that they’d be willing to
violate Norquist’s pledge under the right circumstances, removing the
spectre of actually voting to raise taxes would make it easier for
them, she surmises.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said on ABC this Sunday that the pledge was not
his major concern, as long as Democrats offer cuts to entitlements and
other drains on the budget alongside the tax hikes.

"I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the
country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform," Graham said.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told ABC that it’s not
her “role to go to the table with a threat... I think it’s my role to
go to the table with some ideas, to be receptive to what we can come
to agreement on.”

However not all Democrats agree that the threat of going over the
cliff should not exist.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, have
circulated a letter demanding that Obama start negotiations at a
1-to-1 ratio of spending cuts to revenue increases, putting them in
line with many in the party who want to see a harder line taken by
Democrats.
