Social Security recipients pain in to that system. It's not free.

I know - I pay into the system. And they take my money and give it someone
else. If the system still exists when I retire, they will take someone
else's money and give it to me. It's called a pyramid, and since the
government runs it, it's legal. It has very little difference from any other
Ponzy scheme. I don't like it and I would be much happier if I could that
the money and invest/save it in whatever ways I think best.

So
you must be writhing with the over 800 BILLION just given to the
financial sector because the deregulation of our current
administration opened the door to this near financial depression.

1) I'm not writhing, but I think it was over the top. I think they should
allow a certain level of crash and burn.

2) It has not been established that deregulation caused this. You don't
shoot the doctor because the patient dies, and you don't scrap an
unregulated market because it hiccups. This so-called "crisis" will pass,
and the markets will stabalize again.

You
must also be ****ed off at the ten billion dollars a month for an
illegal war.

It has not been established that the war is illegal. I am not ****ed about
it, but I do believe we should have abandoned the Iraqis a long time ago.

So you must think we're better off after the Bush crime
masters took hold of your money.

I'm not sure what this statement means, so I'm not sure how to respond.

And what roads do you propose we
drive around on; dirt paths?

Again - your question makes no sense.

I think you need to stop repeating the
blather you hear on Rush and Hannity.

I don't listen to Rush and Hannity.


Socialistic states? Where are those? Hmmm, I dare say the only
industrialized nation which doesn't have socialized medicine is the
United States. I recently had knee replacement surgery. It cost
43,000 dollars. Don't you think the medical community is a little out
of control?

Yes, I think the medical community is more then a little out of control. But
socializing it is not the answer - it is like using hand grenades to hunt
rabbits. It's a severe, over the top reaction that won't solve the problem
and will likely create more. Neither McCain nor Obama have a solution that
will fix this problem. I'm not sure I do either.

I suppose you could go to Canada, wait five years for your "free" surgery,
and hope the doctor that does it doesn't botch it. You get what you pay
for...I'd rather pay 43.000 dollars for a knee replacement done in the USA
then get it done at the tax payers expense somewhere else.


There is something that many people just can't quite seem to grasp. Who
employs most of the middle class? Bingo! The wealthy! What happens when
you
raise taxes on the wealthy? I leave the answer to this question as an
exercise in economics 101.

This is more blather you are repeating which Limbaugh and Hannity lie
about.

I made this up on my own, though you are welcome to consider it blather if
you wish :-)

I repeat - Economics 101. Anyone that thinks you can increases taxes on the
rich and that it won't come out of the pockets of the middle and lower class
is woefully ignorant about how businesses work.

Hmm...funny. I remember The big oil boys want you to think this. Obama
proposes to
built 5 million jobs in the alternative energy sector, alone. All the
R&D engineers, the manufacture of solar, wind and geo thermal energy
discovery and placement will all take many, many people to build.

And where is Obama going to get the money to do this? I'm not saying that
these are bad things - I would love to see this happen, but Democrats think
the solution to funding things like this is to simply increase taxes. I
don't think they realize how limited a resource that is.

What do we build here in the United States? Some plastic shit into
molds? What? Can you name ten things made in the USA? As far as I
can see, we build fake money and buy more fake money with it. We are
in financial ruin owing trillions of dollars to China...where
EVERYTHING is made; including dog food and it's all de-regulated.

I can name ten things made in USA, but I don't disagree with what you are
saying except unlike you I don't believe the deregulation caused the mess,
and I don't believe regulation will fix it.


Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth and learn a
thing or two.
I actually heard someone on Laura Ingrams radio show last week. He
called it trickle UP poverty! What the **** is that supposed to mean?

Stop being a parrot, repeating everything you hear from the grow ups.

Grow up and loose the insults. If you can't say something nice, keep your
mouth shut.

Polly want a cracker...?
Victoria


OK, I'll bite. Where did I say something that is insulting? Where did I say
something that isn't nice? You like to insult people like a child that isn't
getting their way. Does it make you feel better? Does it make you feel
superior? Does your usage of profanity make you think you are making a
stronger point? Grow up, little girl, and learn how to converse like an
adult. Stop acting like a foul mouthed child, and learn how mature
reasonable people converse.
