EYE ON THE DOLLAR BILL - THE OVERTON WINDOW

In 1782, Charles Thomson, a Founding Father was chosen by Continental Congress to come up with the final design for the Great Seal of the United States. On June 20, 1782, Congress approved Thomson's design for both sides of the Great Seal whose official description for the reverse side specifies:

ANNUIT COEPTIS

Origin and Meaning of the Motto Above the Eye

"A Pyramid unfinished. In the Zenith an Eye in a triangle surrounded with a glory proper. Over the Eye these words 'Annuit Cœptis'. The Eye over it & the motto Annuit Coeptis allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favour of the American cause." The "all-seeing eye of God" is looking favorably over America.

NORVUS ORDO SECLORUM

Origin and Meaning of the Date & Motto Beneath the American Pyramid

"On the base of the pyramid the numerical letters MDCCLXXVI & underneath the following motto. 'novus ordo seclorum'. The date underneath is that of the Declaration of Independence , 1776, and the words under it signify "the beginning of the new American Æra", which commences from that date." Novus ordo seclorum does not mean "new world order".

THE EYE

The Meaning of the Eye Above the American Pyramid

Those actual facts really ruin any really mysterious conspiracy theory about the ominous threatening EYE to foreshadowing evil or tragic developments on the one dollar bill.

THE REAL EYE - BIG BROTHER

The Meaning of the Big Brother - The Overton Window

It is more important that we keep an eye on the all-seeing eye of Big Brother. It is real. Obama has created, passed and signed into law some of the most sweeping reforms legislation in our nation's history. It has not only redistributed our wealth through taxation, but it has usurped our individual rights as citizens, subordinated our lives under punishing Federal laws and redefined our religious and morale values.

This completely degenerative decay has taken place right under our watchful eyes because we did not keep our eyes on the ball. It is Transformative Learning through our public schools, colleges and mass media. Transformative Learning is a term used in educational theory to describe a process which leads the learner to re-evaluate past beliefs and experience which had previously been understood within assumptions derived from others. (Simply put, what you learned in the past from parents, friends and others is to be questioned and disregarded for Progressive Liberal ideas.)

Progressives like Obama know an important part of Transformative Learning is for individuals to change their frames of reference by critically reflecting on their assumptions and beliefs and consciously making and implementing plans that bring about new ways of defining their worlds. This process is fundamentally rational and analytical, it is utilizing The Overton Window. See the CakeLog Blog on The Overton Window - July 9, 2010.

VAT Taxes seen thru The Overton Window

Barrack is the Master Manipulator of The Overton Window, a political theory that describes a "window" in the range of public reactions to ideas in public discourse, in a spectrum of all possible options on a particular issue.The theory says the window will gradually move over time based on a variety of factors, including truth, facts, arguments, big events and misinformation, to name a few. It is named after its originator, Joseph P. Overton, a brilliant public policy strategist and ardent free-marketer.

At any given moment the “window” includes a range of policies considered to be politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, with “acceptable” defined as something a politician can recommend without being considered too “extreme” or outside the mainstream to gain or keep public office. Sounds like the ones introduced in the Obama progressive policies and programs? 

When the window moves or expands, it means that ideas previously not considered politically acceptable have become so, and possibly that ideas previously considered acceptable are no longer. The Overton Window is a means of visualizing which ideas define that range of acceptance by where they fall in it. Proponents of policies outside the window seek to persuade or educate the public so that the window either “moves” or expands to encompass them. Sounds like the selling of the Obama policies and programs?

Like the old shell game, Obama palms the pea before he moves the  shells around. Obama shifted the Overton Window to focus in on those extra 30 Million people he covered under the expanded health care coverage and his promise to stay under the $1 Trillion  Dollar price tag. Obama just forgot to include the extra $1.1 Billion bill to pay for more I.R.S. Agents to administer it. Obama needs the VAT tax  to pass it in the lame duck congressional session at Christmas time with those Democrat politicians voted out of office who Obama threw under the bus to pass his stimulus and health care packages for his socialist collective salvation of the United States.

Take a look at the effective Income Taxes on the table below. How about a U.S. Tax of  70%?  (55% + 15%)  Is that redistribution?  Also proposed, an additional 1 1/2% Annual Net Worth Tax on high earners.
