So what shall we do after America falls?

We need to shovel as much money as we can into the pockets of the super rich as fast as we possibly can or else the country will fall! Aeieieiee!

Yes indeed, this class warfare has got to stop. The rich have cleaned up during the recession and since, at the expense of the poor and middle class.

So what sort of regulations would you like to end?

I would begin with every regulation created by an extra-constitutional department or agency. There are about 50 of them. We have 80,000 regulations are an growing them at a rate of about 400 more per month. They estimated cost to comply is about a trillion dollars. That is a trillion dollars each year that come right out of the economy.

It is actually the massive regulations that lead me to believe that the nation is doomed. We shall fall. Now it is only a matter of time.

At the expense of the poor and middle class? How did the rich benefit from the poor and middle class? Another mindless claim on your part that you will run from.

One thing we will never have to worry about, you becoming one of those evil rich people that you seem to hate. You seem to have a problem with people keeping more of what they earn. Is it jealousy on your part? Do you think someone else's money should be given to you?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it? A CEO takes a jaw dropping annual bonus while laying off thousands of employees. Who's paying the bonus? Hint: it ain't the rich.

Are you kidding me? The poor and middle class account for creating somewhere around 90% of the GDP, but the top 1% gets 1/3 of the GDP...

Nor is it the taxpayer! You don't like the way a business works or pays its workers, don't buy from them. Try that with the Federal Govt? Where is your outrage over govt. greed?

If hating someone just means not wanting to shovel all of the nation's money into their pockets then do you hate everybody except the rich?

You don't know what you are talking about. How much 1/3rd of the GDP?

Life is about making choices. You don't like a company, don't buy from them. You have yet to tell me how someone got rich while making someone else poor or middle class? Where is your initiative to become one of those evil rich people so you can give all your money away like you want others to do. Do you think that someone else should give their money to you?

A 3% rise for the wealthiest people while cutting benefits for the most vulnerable people is not "giving all your money away".

I believe in free choice and not forced redistribution of wealth. Do you believe that someone else should give their money to you? Guess it is ok if they are forced to give it to the govt. and have the govt. give it to you, right?

Cite your sources and remember we have 140 million working Americans today? Why is the govt. encouraging someone with their own investment in their business to do that by increasing regulations and taxes?

Say one happens to dis like con agra but happens to like Dr. Pepper. Guess what when one buys a Dr Pepper they are also buying a ConAgra product. And that holds true for for quite a few other food products as well.

You can't tackle the deficit and the debt with cuts alone. It's just not possible.

Now you may feel like towing the idealogical line gets you somewhere, it doesn't, a combination of cuts and raised taxes is the only solution to truly get everything under control. You can't grow your way out of this either.

If you like a product but not the company then you have a choice to make. Isn't freedom of choice wonderful? No one forces you to buy from any company that you don't want to buy from

When you have a 14.6 trillion dollar debt you have to cut spending and grow your way out of it. Cut Federal Spending, provide incentive to the private sector to put 25 million unemployed and under emplloyed Americans back to work payiing taxes. Then implement a flat tax so that all income earners pay something. That collects taxes from another 65 million Americans. The growth in this economy would be incredible.

I hardly think some one can avoid (not buy) a ConAgra product in the food chain.

I believe that people shouldn't be self absorbed, materialistic, greed heads. If people ARE like that, I certainly am not jealous of them. It must suck to be you.
