Our Tea Party Chairman doesn't understand this, and he is a mighty contributor to the weakening and downfall of the middle class. The Smiths and Romneys of the world see 2 classes...them and us. We are simply the means by which they garner wealth, and we are not supposed to share in the profits, only create them. Our purpose is to exist for their needs, and the very fact that they pay us anything should make us eternally grateful to them.


How dare you mock these Job Creators and examples of American Exceptionalism.

You mean that Romney who was governor of Massachusetts, a state that's 85% Democrat? That Romney who was praised for working with Democrats to accomplish much during his tenure? That Romney who was by far the most talented candidate on economics in the last election and possibly ever? Your idiots are printing money, inflating the currency, driving up debt. This country is in serious trouble, and when it completely collapses you'll still try to find a way to blame the Republicans for everything.
Here we go again . Even when the economy is improving, unemployment is going down, and the stock market at record highs , the party that lost still wants to demonize Obama. Good luck next election. You're going to need it.

The only thing he was talented at was being born into a rich family.

Its pretty easy sailing from there.

I don't think I would call buying companies, leveraging them with debt to pay yourself, firing everyone and breaking unions the most talented candidate for president ever.

He broke up some companies but also saved quite a few and created a few more. Not to mention it was proved during the campaign that the Dems flat out lied about people losing their healthcare when one plant closed. Lady had healthcare for her cancer from company she worked for, her husband losing his job didn't affect her. And by the way, when companies are no longer viable, it is necessary sometimes to shut them down rather than hemorrhage money. Also while born into a wealthy family he became wealthy beyond anything his parents dreamed of. Demonstrated talent, but hey, what we need is a radical who believes that if anyone does well they are basically evil.

Hell, I would even take Biden over any right wing nut any day.

If Biden is your standard bearer I feel good about the Repubs chances. All you have to do is just play what he says in public. There are so many "interesting" quotes it's hard to know where to start.
I didn't say he was the standard bearer just he would do a better job than any one that comes out of your looney factory.

You live in a fantasy world. We are one European financial crisis away from a meltdown. Our unemployment isn't going down. When people come to the end of their 99 weeks of unemployment checks the government is no longer counting them as unemployed. It's a jobless recovery, and FedEx isn't unique in what's happening to the middle class. Most Repubs represent the greedy rich, and most Democrats use giveaways to the poor and unwilling to work to get their vote. The average guy who works is screwed. Your problem is you believe that whores like Reid and Pelosi actually care about you. And just wait until Obamacare kicks in. 2014 mid-terms will be very productive for the Repubs when people finally get it that Dems are driving us into the ground. It's not for nothing that the Dems passed Obamacare in 2010 but waited until 2014 to implement it. Had it started in 2011 or 2012 Obama would have lost.

The country's deficit was in dire straights during the Reganomics time. I can recall time and time again in H.S., the media, the teachers, the buzz... How are we gonna pay off all this debt? We did, actually under a Democratic president. I'll say this to be fair... sometimes if not almost always, it's not who's president that drives prosperity but timely invention. Bush/War/Banks started the mess today and I'd say it's still most of it. Gridlock ensures nothing really improves. I believe that is far more the truth then blaming the current president.


  • Between the end of World War II and the late 1970s, incomes in the United States were becoming more equal. In other words, incomes at the bottom were rising faster than those at the top. Since the late 1970s, this trend has reversed.
  • Data from tax returns show that the top 1 percent of households received 8.9 percent of all pre-tax income in 1976. In 2008, the top 1 percent share had more than doubled to 21.0 percent.
  • n 2007, the top 1 percent share of national income peaked at 23.5 percent. The only other year since 1913 that the wealthy had claimed such a large share of national income: 1928, when the top 1 percent share was 23.9 percent. The following year, the stock market crashed, and the Great Depression began. After peaking again in 2007, the U.S. stock market crashed in 2008, leading to what some are now calling the “Great Recession.”
  • Between 1979 and 2009, the top 5 percent of American families saw their real incomes increase 72.7 percent, according to Census data. Over the same period, the lowest-income fifth saw a decrease in real income of 7.4 percent. This contrasts sharply with the 1947-79 period, when all income groups saw similar income gains, with the lowest income group actually seeing the largest gains:
  • In 2009, this top 1 percent of U.S. households owned 35.6 percent of the nation’s private wealth. That’s more than the combined wealth of the bottom 90 percent.
  • The top 1 percent also own 38.2 percent of all stock market wealth.
  • The total inflation-adjusted net worth of the Forbes 400 rose from $507 billion in 1995 to $1.62 trillion in 2007, before dropping back to $1.37 trillion in 2010.
  • In 2007, the latest year with Federal Reserve figures available, the typical white household had a net worth about 14 times as large as the typical African American or Hispanic household.

I red an article just a weak ago the Beoner said, it's not critical yet (referring to the deficit) but it will soon be if not addressed. If it's not critical yet, then... who the hell knows when it will ever be. I was very surprised he said this.

One of the reasons unemployment isn't going down is that business owners are extracting more productivity form existing workers rather than hiring. The real whores are the Boehners and McConnells who are so beholden to Big Business that they must do their bidding or be forced from office. Anything Obama wants to do to stimulate the economy is met head-on with a block wall by the GOP.

It's ironic that our debt issue was caused by GOP tax cuts, two GOP wars, and a GOP-driven recession, but that you want Obama to cut spending on his watch, which is precisely what is needed to increase employment. Why is that?

No politician cares about any of us farther than getting our vote, so there's nothing unique about Pelosi and Reid. However, at least they want to do something about moving us away from the rut we're stuck in. The GOP wants to dig-in, and double-down on the policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

As usual, we agree to disagree.
