Trickle Up Poverty
by Michael Savage
A review
You’ve heard his heavily Bronx-accented voice over the airwaves for years, namely on the program known as the Savage Nation. And although he is the author of several books, none of his previous works captured my attention like this particular volume.
In Trickle Up Poverty, Savage takes us on a journey through the travesty that is the Pelosi/Reid/Obama agenda and what it’s doing specifically to destroy our economy and to render our population limited in its financial success. He uses specific examples of legislation, tactics, and “crisis” in order to demonstrate how the progressives mean to further their agenda; that being to remake the United States into some sort of Socialist Utopia.
Savage tackles the Left’s clearly brazen socialist bent on everything from illegal immigration to the degrading of our nation’s security. From the meltdown of our financial system and the impoverishment of the individual citizen through the hoax of global warming and an oppressive (and unconstitutional) mandate of healthcare reform laughingly called “Patient protection and Affordable Care Act.”
“Not only will ObamaCare create widespread trickle up poverty within the middle class, it is designed—yes, designed—to take away your freedom of choice.” [1]
“When you add in the Federal Textbooks Act signed into laws in August, 2009, by President Obama, you have another nail in the coffin of freedom of expression on the campuses of what has become the American equivalent of Soviet gulag archipelago. The law, which is supposed to control the pricing and availability of textbooks at colleges and universities receive federal funding, is now also seen as a vehicle to control their content.” [2]
“Among the obvious problems for the left in trying to reinstitute the fairness doctrine is that only one TV news networks even come close to presenting more than one side of any political issue today, and that’s Fox News.” [3]
To buttress the argument that progressive legislation’s aim is to limit our freedoms, Savage also includes alarming statements like this one from Democrat Congressman, John Dingell:
“‘It takes a long time to…put the legislation together to control the people.’ – Representative John Dingell” [4]
And typical of Savage, he uses an extension of his patented taglines upon the subjects he lampoons, such as the “midstream media,” the “Old York Times,” or the “ninth Jerk-it Court of Schlemiels in San Fransicko.” He also seasons his factual stew with the occasional rhetorical question to which he provides us with his single-sentenced (or one worded) answer.
Here’s how Savage typically presents his convincing evidence:
“In 2007, Christopher Cox, then Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under pressure from lobbyists did not prevent the change of two regulations that allowed hedge fund pirates to plunder the U.S. financial markets. This change in policy was responsible for driving down the value of America’s assets by more than $10,trillion in 2008…Is it a coincidence that this happened right before the presidential election? Hardly.” [5]
“During the next few years, the Managed Funds Association (MFA), a group of hedge fund investors with whom (George) Soros is affiliated, lobbied SEC Chairman Cox to have the rules changed. Why? So they could engineer a raid on U.S. markets to trigger a financial crisis that they foresaw could turn the election in favor of their 2008 candidate, Barack Obama.” [6]
“Those who conspired to create the financial meltdown have something in common. They’re either affiliated with, or in the hip pocket of, the Managed Fund Association (MFA). The MFA consists of hundreds of financial firms and private investors who run hedge funds. Hedge funds are not bound by the rules that govern most stock and mutual fund trading.” [7]
“I believe (George) Soros and hundreds of other hedge fund traders, most of them MFA members, manipulated the system using, primarily, changed in two rules that enabled them to raid the financial markets, generating huge profits for themselves, casing the financial crash of 2008, an enabling Barack Obama to be elected.” [8]
Savage even postulates a convincing argument as to why the unemployment rate shall NOT be going down under the Obama regime:
“It’s not, and it never has been, Obama’s intention to reduce unemployment. Having an illegal do a job that rightfully belongs to a citizen is one way for Democrats to drive citizens out of the labor market and accomplished their goal of making Americans beholden to them. It also translates to more workers in the shadow economy where they don’t contribute to tax revenues, thus hastening American economic decline.” [9]
But as with most well-organized books that define the problem, he hints at the solution; and that is the growing consciousness in America that its citizens have been asleep at the switch for far too long, and are now waking up.
“(The Tea Party is) neither a Republican nor Democrat movement. It’s organic. It’s autonomous. It’s of the people. And it transcends traditional labels of party affiliations.” [10]
“The (Tea Party) movement gained strength because, at its heart, this is a center-right country. Regardless of prior political party affiliation, the middle class has joined hands to stop the left-wing onslaught by the most powerful, most dictatorial president this county has ever seen.” [11]
I believe, Dr. Savage, you are correct! The salvation of this nation shall rest with the 21st century patriot who shall do the research the “midstream media” and the “Old York Times” refuse to do! And they can start by reading your book to see what else they’ve been insulated against!

Deuteronomy 32:29
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, wh ich are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Please show us any evidence of your baseless assertions that ANY other economic system would be as prosperous for the MAJORITY of its citizens?
Quite frankly, you can't! And as long as there are human beings, there will never be a time in human history where every person shall see eye to eye!
Equal Opportunity is what Free Markets offer, NOT equal results.
Forced "Equal Results" is tyranny unacceptable to the modern 21st Century American Patriot!
And it is proper common-sense actions that neither of them are willing to institute.
When the playbook DC have been using for decades no longer functions, it's time to toss that playbook and re-boot the Constitution.
We can certainly do something about it, right Matt?
Please, if you wish to be credible, then may I suggest you do the research and disprove anything brought forth in these tomes
You DO know how to read, don't you?
Contrary to the current Liberal Fatwa against G.W. Bush, it's not the "last 8 years" that was the problem (although Bush is hardly completely innocent), but the slow creep toward a collectivist attitude is more reflective of the philosophy of Marx then Madison!
Once again, READ! Compare your liberal ideology to both and if you don't find the disturbing trend toward Marxism, than I submit, you're not paying attention.
