and a medal.

Here we call it “ bloody minded mentality.”

My fathers a certified genius, but do you think he would accept over the years, that I had a ( clearly shown ) proven disability? No. My problem is, “ needing a fire under my ass. “ He has money too. I starved for decades.

Thats it. Sum total.

“why are there so many buildings standing empty, deteriorating through lack of occupancy when we have people living in the streets and in homeless shelters.” Indeed. Who OWNS these buildings?

Most of the truly rich, I mean loaded, the rulers of the domain so to speak - they don’t pay ANY taxes. None.

They dont care. They NEVER will. How much of the GOP is the religious right? ( Not that Im knocking religion, many good people Ive met are.) Part of their intrinsic belief is that if you don’t have, you deserve it. God sorted em out.

The baby boomers had this option, with the GI bill. But do you think they are going to vote in any way, other than to protect what they have? But, what happens when they start to die off?

Do you mean TO middle class? Because these are in no way middle class jobs, or wages. Or am I being obtuse? Correct me if Im wrong, but the middle class has been systematically eroded by outsourcing jobs. With this option, yeah, increasing middle class wages is a pipe dream.

If mere hard work, was what made one monetarily free (or “rich”), every woman in africa would be a millionaire.

economics =/= free market. But its not a free market, also. These large corporations get huge handouts, as you said, in tax free thresholds, and also, subsidising the markets that support them ( meat,milk, etc.) If it was truly a free market, these would not exist. The people who rant about the market remaining free (…

Now the middle class has eradicated, and jobs are being outsourced overseas- what happens when the economy fails, and we don’t have many of these small wage jobs left?

John Ralston Saul - “ The Doubter’s Companion. A Aggressive guide to Common Sense.” If you like Pinkham, you will love this. ( Even a yahoo like myself, can learn economic reality - whilst laughing! )Brilliant really.

Good on you! Well done! Me too.:)

This is the result of Ivy League Theories, applied across the board, in various countries. It has never been proven to work, it is not working, and it will continue not to work. How to show people that a theory is used as proof for wholesale robber baron style looting of resources, wages, and sundry- is more…

Once anyone mentions Ayn Rand, there is no point. They are GONE.

Most of the true, blue University intellectuals make the case, that now more than ever- Uni is not a place they teach you to think, but where they teach you to be a good corporate consumer.

Ive found, when I used to be “Liberal” that some of my greatest understandings came from listening to the other side. In fact, if It were not for three totally opposite viewpoints to my own ( at the time ), I would have never had got the boost to incorporate a entirely new, and more holistic idea on how things are (…

Be sure that you understand, fields that employ one gender more than another, tend to have strange working environments due to sexual differences in how our brans work. Men and women are NOT the same, and never will be. Expecting this, is to ignore science. Misandry is no solution to ignoring biology. Men are people…
