It is Democrats who want to keep the voting public too stoopid to see their vast hypocrisy.
So they support the same teachers' unions in the same school systems which have 40 - 60% high school drop out rates, and which have produced ongoing generations of illiterates.
Approximately 45% of Walmart's store managers started out in entry level jobs. They worked hard, went to school to improve themselves part time and realized The American Dream. Let's raise their taxes!
Walmart provides a pay raise for every working family who can buy every necessity there from eggs to socks and save anywhere from 10 - 40%.
So what's the problem with telling the union goons to get lost and go back to Philly
Politics rule economics and economics rule the world.
A gooberment based on giving away stuff in order to buy votes not much fun for shareholders.
A gooberment based on telling bidness what it must do like giving mortgages to families with no credit history or building cars no one wants to buy is a gooberment the markets will deeply discount.
This has been going on for a year or so now as shareholders have responded to the polling numbers, and, over the last six weeks, Obaba's assumed and then actual victory.
You wunnerful sozializts now worried about markets should have remembered to be careful what you wish for. Your policies drove this market to the edge of a cliff. Yes, there was a brief rally, and then we went right back to the edge of the abyss, and now we are starting to fall off.
This doesn't matter to the really rich limousine librals, with their money squirreled away in trusts and off shore accounts. But, for those of you dependent on 401K's, etc. now down 50%, this is kind of sobering, right?
It might help if Obaba moves forward in a truly centrist and pragmatic manner, but he has alla u crazies on the left to deal with, so you can expect years and years of bad market losses until President Elect Lindsey Graham comes riding to the rescue four years from now.
If you don't want this to happen, call Ram The Doe Eyed Emmanual, tell him to whisper in Mister Peanut's ear that he should announce tax CUTS across the board. Urge Mister Peanut to appoint a pragmatic Treasury Security like Robbie Rubin or Larry Summers, or, better yet, Jack Kemp or Art Laffer, haw haw haw.
Politics rule economics and economics rule the world. Look at Argentina and learn, my frems. Sozializm invites corruption and graft and cynicism. It results in shortages and wide spread poverty.
Are you having fun yet with your pwogwessive wet dreams?
The Salon culture is shallow.
This is all about the vagaries of getting laid or not getting laid.
These shallow waters are polluted with dead and dying fish.
What about love?
LOVE!
Hello!
What about love?
Once upon a time, it described humanists, people who engaged in critical inquiry.
Now libralz & pwogwessives demand conformity to a list of imperatives and an illusory notion that big gooberment can achieve wunnerful stuff, led of course by this new generation of libral-pwogwessives, which, of course will not make the same mistakes of the "Usefull Idiots" of the recent past.
Nebermind that, like always, this silliness ignores human nature and is based on some klueless rubbish about collective possibilities which only breed corruption, cynicism, shortages, unemployment, and horrible abuse and violence over and over, again and again.
Are you still willing to think for yourself?
Is government the answer to all of our problems?
What about our failing urban public schools?
Do liberal-progressive politicians have any realistic solution to continuing generations of illiterates and drop outs?
What ever happened to the notion of accountability?
What about class warfare?
Is this really such a good idea?
If the rule is "whatever it takes to win and keep power," can't that approach lead to the same horrors we have seen before when the ends justified the means?
Now that you guys are in control, what can you do for all of us?
Are you thinking?
Are you taking unintended consequences into account?
Have you learned from the horrible failures of the past like welfare?
What's up, my dear Libral frems?
What's up?
Tom Dascheled Dreams, the lobbyist, is change?
Well, anyways, I sure am glad she survived that sniper incident at Tuzla Airport, aren't you?
Gosh, ain't it wunnerful to have a congenital liar as Secretary of State? That'll reassure any remaining allies we might have, (to know she's gonna be lying before she walks in the door.)
She is definitely a broad broad, no, I mean she's a person of broad knowledge, and she can't go wrong, with her occasional consort, Prince Billy, to whisper in her ear while sizing up the cute staffers.
However, I am so relieved that she can pick up that proverbial phone in the middle of the night, and ease Mister Peanut's way when Putin calls in the middle of the night to inform them of a spontaneous uprising in Ukraine, and to warn them to get our Navy out of the Black Sea.
What will they say to Comrad Putin?
"Yes we can!"
