On the backs of the working class: a life of excess while both in and out of office.

While he was in office, the former president and his family lived a third world dictator life style of luxury funded by the "lumpen proletariat" which could ill afford to support it. Eight years of Obama vacations cost $85 million
Here is just one example of their continued financial abuse of their former "subjects".
The post below simply regards travel expenses while he was in office. It also refers to some of Trumps' as well.

Obama Travel Total Now Tops $105 Million

The taxpayer tab for former President Barack Obama's travel during two terms in office keeps climbing, according to new records obtained by Judicial Watch.
The conservative foundation announced Thursday that the total for security, airfare, hotels, and motorcades for the Obamas’ trips stands at $105,662,975.27.
Judicial Watch received additional documentation of costs from Freedom of Information Act lawsuits the group filed against the Department of Homeland Security. The tab for the trips has increased more than $5 million since the group reported on Obama's travel costs in May.

New documents reveal Obama's campaign rally with failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cost over $271,000. The rally in Florida just before Clinton lost the election cost $150,530.99 for hotels; $103,526.96 for airfare and train tickets; $11,588.76 for car rentals; and $5,829 for equipment.
Michelle Obama also appeared at a rally in North Carolina with Clinton, though her appearance cost much cheaper at $26,502.
Judicial Watch also received documents regarding Clinton's Secret Service protection for three weeks on the campaign trail in 2015. Between April 11 and May 6, 2015, car rentals, airfare, and travel vouchers for security cost $350,237.
Judicial Watch is also keeping track of President Donald Trump's travel costs, which stand at $4,082,427.71. The majority of costs stem from Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago in February and March, which cost over $3.6 million.
Obama spent $13,207,871.88 per year, according to Judicial Watch's total documentation received thus far.
"It is troubling to see such massive amounts of money paid out for trips that appear to have minimal value to the public interest," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. "And it is frustrating to have to file multiple FOIA lawsuits and engage in long-running court battles to get basic information about the costs of presidential travel."

One may well be familiar with many of these organizations, but the complete list can be staggering even to those who are aware. Here's the straight skinny with no intro necessary: A. Organizations directly funded by Soros and his Open Society Foundations (OSF): Posted by Dr. Eowyn :  Source: DiscoverTheNetworks.org Advancement Project : This organization works to organize “communities of color” into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department. Air America Radio : Now defunct, this was a self-identified “liberal” radio network. Al-Haq : This NGO produces highly politicized reports, papers, books, and legal analyses regarding alleged Israeli human-rights abuses committed against Palestinians. All of Us or None : This organization seeks to change voting laws — which vary from state to state — so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even curr...

Powerful Robber Barons of the 21st Century: Emerging Tech Giants

The power of the 19th century Robber Barons pales in comparison to the present day tech giants. Our 21st century version controls the media thus information and ultimately the mass thought process. To say the least, present times are trying and dangerous. Many are on to the spewing of fake news and no longer have faith in the government. This is a most dangerous situation. There are those who will push for reform and transparency. They will not be allowed to succeed. America is being set up for a revolution that, if violent, will be spearheaded by the likes of Antifa, who will be dispensed with as soon as they compete their dirty work. The populace must be ever vigilant. The fight for the dignity and freedom of humanity will not end until planet Earth no longer exists. The elites will never cede their power and status. At times they may appear to be down but they are never out, and there will always be a plethora of useful idiots who will unquestionably serve them. The motto of th...
