More [i][b]'shallow analysis'[/i][/b] I guess, just like the voters in New York and Nevada appear to have been [i][b]'driven by emotion'[/i][/b] Yesterday. LOL
The special elections were just a preview of things to come.
I am astonished that Obama gives lip service to increasing the quality of education in the United States. It appears that Obama has a genuine concern about the quality of education in our country. But, who know, maybe Obama is just mouthing what was put on his telepromptor.
Obama's concern for education is astonishing because it is obvious Obama would do better with a less educated populace. As people become more educated and encounter more life experiences they readily recognize how shallow Obama is and how braindead his supporters are.
Better for Obama to cut off funding for education at about the second grade. Furthermore, anyone with more than a 4th grade education should have their voting rights eliminated. But even this might not be enough. I think even a marshmallow, mushroom or chipmunk is capable of recognizing Obama's incompetence.

Oh wait they're already doing that, I think Esten went to one of those schools.
I hope all mongers, are not thinking this thread is a Independent News Thread.
This is a Republican Business Man Thread.
They are not for the Workers, they are for taking away your Dreams of a House, Home, and a Living wage, Away.
Democrats are not much better, but they are the only Working Man's Hopes.
P.S.
If they were good business men they would have reopened TL's restaurant, "Under New Management". But all they can do is Blow Smoke on this thread.
Hey Esten, I noticed that magic $4 Trillion cut from the budget number came up again. You know the one the ratings services said was necessary to indicate the United States was serious about getting our runaway spending under control.
A group of 36 Senators comprised of both Democrats and Republicans pushing the 'Super Committee' to not cut just $1. 2 Trillion but to cut $4 Trillion from the budget. What is laughable is most of the Democrats pushing this new spending limit voted against such cuts back in August.
You think maybe after what happened in New York's special election is causing these Democrats to cease being 'good soldiers' for Obama and start worrying about their own sorry butts?

I know your answer: The workers would just organize themselves and start their own businesses, [u]but then they would become the evil business men[/u] you so despise.
Employees are employees because the don't have the guts to take the risk, put their money where their mouth is and start a business, so instead they prefer to let somebody else take the risk so they then band together and monopolistically mass-extort money from the guy who did take the risk.
I've got a simply solution to anybody who feels his employer isn't paying them enough: Quit, and go start your own business, that is assuming you have the guts!
BTW, I've never met a business person who advocated taking away any employee's dreams of owning a house. What a propagandist's joke! I can see the employment interview now: The evil business person is talking to the prospective employee, telling him "[i]We want to hire you, but you must agree that as a condition of your employment you are no longer permitted to dream of owning your own house.[/i]"
Keep drinking the kool-aid, comrade.
Thanks,
Jackson
FYI: This may come as a revelation to you, but there are lots of "evil business men" who are also Democrats.

Power corrupts, and money is power. And right now, the unions are corrupt. But we need to share. It is not socialism.
I would, but my retirement funds equal about two months of your Membership fees.

Why did the company in Maryland that made the best buggy whips in the entire United States go out of business? Their product was obsolete.
Same with Unions, there was a time when unions preformed a useful function to the benefit of their workers, but those days have passed. Today unions exist to perpetuate their own existence, deal in political influence and cronyism with the dues they collect from their members and not for the benefit of their members.
Proof you say, look to the South where states have 'right to work' laws, the unions can never get traction in these states and companies are increasingly leaving the unionized North for the right to work states. Unions continually price their employer's right out of the market with their continuing demands for higher wages and greater benefit packages.
The auto industry is a good example.
The only place the unions are gaining ground is in the governmental sector, the one that devoirs cash and produces no product.
Take a look at the union action up in Washington state, something the liberal news media seems to be ignoring for the most part. A private company builds a facility with private funds and decides to not use union labor, which is their right.
The union demands the 'right' to work at the facility and when they are told the owners will not use the union, union workers literally storm the gates of the facility, assault the security guards, destroy equipment and spill grain out of the storage bins. A Federal judge found the union in contempt for the actions and the sheriff is reviewing security video to make arrests in the matter. What does the union do, they march on the courthouse and dare the sheriff to arrest anyone.
The unions are more like the Mafia today with their strong arm tactics. While the Labor Relations Board tries to shutter Boeing's plant in South Carolina, an "at will" state, to benefit the union in Washington state but takes on action with the hooligans on the docks?

Stan dug this up a few days ago: [url]http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/09/13/understanding_poverty_in_the_us.html[/url]
During many years, my standard of living was below that of many people who receive government benefit payments, even though I was paying lots and lots in income tax. And working very hard. 10-12 hours a day. 7 days a week. If your sense of decency and social responsibility entails me paying for other peoples' wide screen televisions and I-phones, it's warped. A substantial part of my taxes is squandered by the government. I believe a much smaller part of donations I make, for vaccines and disaster relief, is squandered.
You can take most of what the "Republican businessmen"* make in this country, and you're still not going to be able to fund Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs. In fact, when you do that, you'll succeed in making the country, including the poor, less prosperous than they are now. What this country needs, as you've rightfully pointed out several times here, is thrift among the populace and efficiency in government.
