so we have moved on the the slave master analogy ok
how long will a master be able to employ people when the government has its foot and the kneck of the master ready to snap it.
furthermore how long will the master be able to employ people when the value of the dollar gets devalued to the point of where its worthless.
the fact of the matter is as any business owner knows costs increase every year benefits increase every year and the value of the dollar decreases everyday.
and any business lives or dies on profit
and yeah i am saying one cant exist without the other business needs workers the government needs our money to function both cant exist without each other.
no profit no business that means no more people working.
we are the slaves here to the master government.
they are the alpha and omega of our existences.

Rich people earn more than 80% of this nations wealth, they pay 60% in taxes likewise.
Have a reputable citation for that, because I'm pretty sure you're lucky if they pay 30%? You don't think the rich use every loophole in the book to avoid paying taxes? They have the money to hire teams of accountants to hide, exploit and abuse every loophole to avoid paying taxes.
For instance, the entire company of G.E (made 14 billion in profits last year) paid NOTHING in taxes last year. Yes, you heard me. NOTHING.

Believe what you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're fighting against your own interests. You're fighting for companies who are laughing all the way to the bank at your expense.
The thing is that not all people have the same opportunities to develop their potential. Some have a big safety net via the capital accumulated by their past status quo but most of people don't. That excessive accumulation of wealth is root for capitalism lack of freedom by most of people, so it should not be allowed in the first place.

who controls the horizontal and the verticle in american society?
who indoctrinates american youths in school and film and televsion?
who controls unions in this country that make and provide goods and services and essential emergency services in this country?
who controls the entire educaltion process in american and who are not how to think but what to think?
the left defines what is right and wrong in this country that have for decades.
america produces nothing but morons anymore and the point of that exercise in control is for the mass manipulation to keep and maintain their power base.
those things neither the right or the teaparties ever had.
there is alot of bs in this thread but none by me.
sorry.

Well She really didn't see the worker as they who produce the wealth in America. And she would be right.
I don't share her more harsh views of the common worker. But the left tries to portray the worker as the engine that drives America and they aren't. They are contractors who sign up to do a job until they are not needed or move on to bigger better things.
The left seems to think that workers have a right to a job. They do not. It is not the impetus of business to create jobs, it is to create profit. Without profit there are no jobs.

Please my parents were not rich they couldn't afford to send me to college took me 7 yrs to get my BS the 1st time. I had 2 part time jobs one at a gas station working nights and the other i Bar tended on weekends. All the while attending classes at the University Of Maryland (go tarapins dont laugh people ). Why can i do it but others want to just receive a check from the government? If you pay people to do nothing most will. Self motivation is difficult remove all the incentives and people stagnate.

All tea party candidates that gained support from tea party voters were Republican. When the Patriot act came up for renewel, out of the 40 tea party candidates in the house, only 10 of them voted against renewing the Patriot act. Mind you though, the totaly amount of Republicans came up to 26 along with 122 Democrats. but the proportion of freshman tea partiers is well pathetic.
It's still 5 months though.... maybe the tea party caucus will prove to us that they are the change of the Republican party later on.... As of yet I've seen no change whatsoever, and no accountability from tea partiers themselves. But then again why would tea partiers hold their own accountable? The tea party movement had nothing to do with socialism or freedom or the constitution (see how many tea partiers jump up when Medicare actually gets put up to vote to be removed), it has to do about that man in the whitehouse. That man hit a nerve with rightwing voters and they want him out, that is all tea partiers are concerned about, that is all conservatives are really concerned about as far as I can see.
Guardian, I hear what you are saying about the Patriot Act. I truly do, because T Partiers do not wish to see another 9-11 type act against our country, and why is it that the ultra left-winger POTUS now renewed it? T Partiers may just not all get that the PATRIOT ACT was spawned during the Clinton era, but was not enacted till a Republican got in.This is where the Hegelian Dialectic comes in handy to understand what is neither Left nor Right, but a synthesis of the two.
