Yeah, no thanks as I don't need to have more of my earned money taken away to provide for others.
No worries
besides, the more the corporatists win, the faster both you and I will be not concerned about our earned money...all goes to the east and we will be fighting over fast food jobs soon enough.
Stand on principles as the ship sinks and the eastern dragon rises. at least its a fun ride down
Your response garners both agreement and anger, but no directed towards you.
I will work and fight to keep what little I have, as more and more is taken every year.
You can cling to the driftwood, sure. but frankly, that mentality will only make sure we dive quickly into the abyss.
The -beauty- of places like china is that they don't think as indivduals trying to get 3 plasma televisions...they think as a whole that wants to be on top in 100 years...not one or two, but the entire nation ruling earth.
and so, they spend wisely, but more importantly, they are fueling technology and education to advance the people...
Your grandchildren will serve the foreign masters in ways we cannot even fathom today. america is converting into low industry untrained labor camps and perhaps a brothel...
I overall disagree with this vision as the one we should fight for...however, I see too many are demanding we fight for just that (short term, kill the middle class and support the corporate takeover).
well, it lasted about 250 years...not too bad really. I am curious what will come after...either total socialism, or total facism(corporatism)...one extreme or the other, and at this moment, it is leaning pretty heavily towards corporatism.

I understand your train of thought, but disagree to the extent that I do not work so I can provide for others.
I work to provide for me and mine.

There are not enough jobs requiring college degrees to go around...there are a lot of college grads out there now and more grads every year. Not enough jobs for them!
People who have the jobs requiring college degrees are NOT retiring when they are eligible, which could free up some jobs for the newly graduated. Also, retirement age is going up so these jobs are not going to be open to new grads.
Not everyone can get a degree...that is why we should have jobs of all kinds. But as someone posted...the factory jobs, other jobs that do not require a college degree, are all going overseas.
This is truly a downfall for America. I know boys getting out of high school who are friends of my sons who are desperately searching for a job...jobs which can provide a decent living wage. So sad to see them looking and meanwhile working minimum wage work that provides not enough money to live....
I just feel for these kids and the state our country is in.
CEO's...look where your greed has put this nation.
