I would hardly call myself overpaid. In fact I would say I could
probably be paid another dollar or two per hour, but I'm not
complaining. I work for a really small struggling company that has
actually grown about 25% since I've been there. I'm kinda hangin in
to see if the additional company profit ever dwindles down to me. If
not, I can go to one of many other companies that pay about a dollar
or two, maybe even three more than I make. It's all good!
I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about me; I'm a truck driver,

I'm a local driver with a single axle tractor. I've been using the same

the money I collect for rent goes right out for paying bills, taxes,

Sounds like some kind of mismanagement with your apartments. Why

Because in the long run, the renters pay my mortgage. When it's time to
sell, the capital I have in this place is not my money. Besides, I love
being a landlord. The only problem I have now is our local government
who is trying to bankrupt us with their stupid inspections and fees.
Add to that HUD who is turning my neighborhood into a ghetto, they
really knock the spirit out of the American dream. As RR said:
"Government is not the solution.... it's the problem." And I never
understood just how powerful those words were until I had to deal with
an all Democrat government who is trying to ruin me.

OH, you're just another whiney Republitard who is against any
regulations or inspections. You have a responsibility as a landlord
to provide a safe place for your tenants. You landlords charge more
than enough money to handle that stuff. When Reagan said
"government is not the solution, it's the problem!" I'm sure he is
including himself since he was governing. Republitards always like to
tell everybody that government is the problem, and then they get
elected and prove it! lol |

Huh?
The problem is that with so much money in so few hands the money
doesn't circulate at all. Above a certain amount of money people
don't need more money and they just horde it and sit on it. If the
middle class had more money it would circulate more because the
middle
class spends a greater portion of their take-home pay to buy goods
and
services. And as far as your concern that investing in our
manufacturing of American cars being a waste, do you really wanna see
over a million new unemployed workers? That's why I suggest that the
only possible way I would support this bailout thing is if the CEO's
of the big 3 lose their jobs, and there will be serious oversight
(the
opposite of overlooking) of retoolling of the plants to get us headed
toward financial stability and eventual profit. It's gonna be hard
work, but this is the USA, we've done it before, and we can do it
again!
I don't know where you liberals get your ideas from. The liberal
mentality is that there is this big pile of money, and when somebody
takes too much of that money, other people won't get their share.
The truth is that there is wealth for everybody in this country. You
may have to get an education, start a business or cut down on a lot of
extras, but you are not limited as to how much money you can make..
I don't know what you are doing in a free country when you hold a
belief
that the government should take away all the money of a person after
they exceed X amount. That's not what a free country is all about,
that's what a communist or dictator country is about. And when wealthy
people have more money, they invest it. This is why the Bush tax cut
was so successful. When people invest money, other people have to work
to make that money grow.
If Joe Billionaire buys stock in the Widget Company, the Widget Company
has more capital to expand their business, purchase new machines, hire
more people, open up another outlet, hire more salesmen. When this
happens, it stimulates the economy. People have to build those
machines, construction workers have to build that new building, truck
drivers have to pickup and deliver their goods to warehouses and
outlets. New tow motors are needed. More office people are needed for
the additional paperwork.
When you get a clown like this Obama guy in who promises to take wealth
away from those with money, they don't invest in the market because
they
know it's heading for the basement. That means the Widget Company will
lose it's capital. That means they can't improve their services or
products which means less people working. It could mean they have to
close their doors altogether. And this is why the market has been on a
nearly consistent decline since Obama was elected.

Sorry, but we've tried it your way for the last 28 years since Reagan
became president. Reaganomics has NOT worked. The trickle down
theory is a failure. I don't know what has happened to all this money
that you claim the wealthy and billionaires are investing, but IT HAS
NOT TRICKLED DOWN! Has NOT led to new job growth or expansion of the
economy. You Republicans have always had the misguided theory that
the way to judge the wealth of the country is to measure how much
money the top 1 or 2% have. Throughout the history of our country
there has been these periods of extreme corporatism such as we have
had since Reagan took office. These periods generally last 25 to 30
years. It has been 28 years, and look what just happened. Americans
are saying ENOUGH! It's time we get back to being a country of the
People! Even Teddy Roosevelt recognized this over a hundred years ago
when the country had gone through a failed period of Corporatism. He
said we need a strong middle class, because having more people with
more money is the key to a strong economy.
This depends on what your definition of "trickle down" is. Trickle Down
means that as investors invest, it creates jobs which is money in your
pocket. If you thought trickle down meant that someday you too will be
wealthy by having a standard job, then you fooled yourself.
GW and RR both cut taxes and that stimulated the economy; that's fact..
Back in the Reagan days, you couldn't even get a McDonalds job things
were so bad. GW took on the economy in spite of 911. And if Obama has
one ounce of common sense, he too will announce that not only will he
cut taxes for the wealthy, he will also sign a continuance of the Bush
tax cut set to expire in 2010.

You are assuming that investors always create jobs. I couldn't
disagree more! And NO, we don't need 4 more years of the last 28.
Reagan chose a direction for this country which was to outsource most
manufacturing jobs, and deregulate the hell out of everything. There
is no accountability for anything anymore. I believe it was
Eisenhower who taxed the richest 2% of people 70%. Our economy was
growing and booming during that time because we had such a strong
middle class of people with some expendable income, and they bought
things.
That's because back then, there was no other place wealthy people could
go and make the same amount of wealth. Today there is. Today,
corporations are leaving our country and paying much less taxes. They
still sell their products to our country, except they don't have to deal
with the bullshit that companies anchored here do.
At one time, our workers here didn't make much more than foreigners.
Thanks to unions, we now make ten times more (in come cases) than our
foreign competitors. We priced ourselves right out of the world market,
and handed over our manufacturing industry to places like China and
India.

Thats why we need to put the tariffs back in place. Any American
company that wants to move their operations offshore, and then export
their cheap shit back in should pay a tariff that is equal to the
difference between what they paid to make the product, and what it
would have cost here. |

Sigh! OK, let's run through this again! There is a finite amount of

leaves less money for the other 98% of us. I would submit that you
would be making more money too if not for greedy rich rat bastards
like Bill Gates, and the CEO's of Ford, Chrysler, and GM.
Once again Mack, you failed to answer the question. There is no
"finite" amount of money in the United States. If Bill Gates doubled
his empire, and Warren Buffet tripled his, and Oprah quadrupled hers, I
can still go out and make as much money as I want; none of these people
are stopping me. I can still invest in real estate, still play with the
commodity markets, still open up my own business and still go to college
and further my education. Not one wealthy person is going to (or able
to) stop me from this. Who gave you this load of shit that there is a
finite amount of money? Who gave you this load of shit that some rich
guy is stopping you from increasing your income? Please explain how
that is done.

I think YOU need to explain where all this extra money is going to
come from. It doesn't just grow on trees. Are you operating a
printing plant in your basement printing up 100 dollar bills?
No need to. Not once in my entire life has somebody told me I can't
have a job because a wealthy guy has the money I was supposed to make.
Not once was I denied the purchase of property or purchase of a vehicle
because some rich guy had too much property or cars. Not once did I
ever encounter resistance from a stock or commodity broker because the
rich guy took all the opportunities. Now once was I ever denied a
second job because the rich guy has too much money, and I couldn't make
more for myself.
Rush Limbaugh said it best a couple of times. He said that as a child,
his mother used to taunt him to finish his plate because some child in
China was starving. So he asked his mother.... with respect "If I eat
everything on this plate, how does it help that child in China?"
Thus far, you have not given me one example from personal (or any other
for that matter) experience how a wealthy person stopped you from
increasing your income. It's never happened. You know this and I know
this. And not once in the history of this country was there a time when
there was only so much money, and others were denied the opportunity to
create wealth of their own.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it hasn't
happened. That would be like saying that because you have never
climbed Mt. Everest nobody else ever has either. Look, Ray, I'm not
saying that rich people are preventing me from making money. I'm
happy with my situation. But you are missing the big picture. Let's
say, for example, that Bill Gates had 999,999,999 trillion dollars.
Nobody needs that much money to survive, so he just keeps that money
in the bank. It just sits there collecting dust. It doesn't
stimulate the economy because he isn't spending it buying goods and
services. If that money was spread out among more people it would be
spent on things, which in turn requires more stuff be manufactured or
produced, which in turn requires more workers, which in turn creates
more people spending money and paying taxes, and I kid you not, it is
good for everyone! It's a win-win for the whole country. The way
things are it is only a win win for Gates and a few other overly
greedy rich bastards who don't pay taxes because of all the corporate
welfare loopholes. |

Mack, any business passes it's cost on to the consumer. Without
government interference, I could charge my tenants less money. But I
can no longer do that because I need X amount of income to keep this
place operating. The problem I have now is that Government is forcing
me to make unneeded improvements that I can't recover through any
increase in rents. The bottom line is, I lose thanks to government.
Tenants who are unsatisfied with the living conditions have always had
the ability to complain to the city until the landlord corrects the
problems a tenant may have. But because of HUD and the housing crisis,
the city is now trying to extort money from landlords figuring (as you
have) that we have all this profit in which to offer; there is no truth
to this.
Today, I would have a real problem if something major goes, such as a
roof, a heater unit, a wall etc, etc because I had to take out loans to
make the idiotic improvements that the city forced me to make. So now
if something major does happen, I may have to be foreclosed on, and how
does that help my tenants who enjoyed livable rental prices all this
time? How does that help me?

did before. If she shops at WallMart, she now has to pay $120.00 for
merchandise that she used to pay $100.00 for. If a middle class worker

Yeah, but if we put tarriffs in place fewer people will buy the

for american made stuff, which in turn employs more american people in

has been tried for 28 years now, and it hasn't worked. When will you
finally see the light?Things aren't getting better, except for CEO's.

Once again Mack, you failed to answer the question. There is no
"finite" amount of money in the United States. If Bill Gates doubled
his empire, and Warren Buffet tripled his, and Oprah quadrupled hers, I
can still go out and make as much money as I want; none of these people
are stopping me. I can still invest in real estate, still play with the
commodity markets, still open up my own business and still go to college
and further my education. Not one wealthy person is going to (or able
to) stop me from this. Who gave you this load of shit that there is a
finite amount of money? Who gave you this load of shit that some rich
guy is stopping you from increasing your income? Please explain how
that is done.

I would hardly call myself overpaid. In fact I would say I could

complaining. I work for a really small struggling company that has
actually grown about 25% since I've been there. I'm kinda hangin in

not, I can go to one of many other companies that pay about a dollar
or two, maybe even three more than I make. It's all good!

The problem is that with so much money in so few hands the money
doesn't circulate at all. Above a certain amount of money people
don't need more money and they just horde it and sit on it. If the
middle class had more money it would circulate more because the
middle
class spends a greater portion of their take-home pay to buy goods
and
services. And as far as your concern that investing in our
manufacturing of American cars being a waste, do you really wanna see
over a million new unemployed workers? That's why I suggest that the
only possible way I would support this bailout thing is if the CEO's
of the big 3 lose their jobs, and there will be serious oversight
(the
opposite of overlooking) of retoolling of the plants to get us headed
toward financial stability and eventual profit. It's gonna be hard
work, but this is the USA, we've done it before, and we can do it
again!
I don't know where you liberals get your ideas from. The liberal
mentality is that there is this big pile of money, and when somebody
takes too much of that money, other people won't get their share.
The truth is that there is wealth for everybody in this country. You
may have to get an education, start a business or cut down on a lot of
extras, but you are not limited as to how much money you can make.
I don't know what you are doing in a free country when you hold a
belief
that the government should take away all the money of a person after
they exceed X amount. That's not what a free country is all about,
that's what a communist or dictator country is about. And when wealthy
people have more money, they invest it. This is why the Bush tax cut
was so successful. When people invest money, other people have to work
to make that money grow.
If Joe Billionaire buys stock in the Widget Company, the Widget Company
has more capital to expand their business, purchase new machines, hire
more people, open up another outlet, hire more salesmen. When this
happens, it stimulates the economy. People have to build those
machines, construction workers have to build that new building, truck
drivers have to pickup and deliver their goods to warehouses and
outlets. New tow motors are needed. More office people are needed for
the additional paperwork.
When you get a clown like this Obama guy in who promises to take wealth
away from those with money, they don't invest in the market because
they
know it's heading for the basement. That means the Widget Company will
lose it's capital. That means they can't improve their services or
products which means less people working. It could mean they have to
close their doors altogether. And this is why the market has been on a
nearly consistent decline since Obama was elected.

Sorry, but we've tried it your way for the last 28 years since Reagan
became president. Reaganomics has NOT worked. The trickle down
theory is a failure. I don't know what has happened to all this money
that you claim the wealthy and billionaires are investing, but IT HAS
NOT TRICKLED DOWN! Has NOT led to new job growth or expansion of the
economy. You Republicans have always had the misguided theory that
the way to judge the wealth of the country is to measure how much
money the top 1 or 2% have. Throughout the history of our country
there has been these periods of extreme corporatism such as we have
had since Reagan took office. These periods generally last 25 to 30
years. It has been 28 years, and look what just happened. Americans
are saying ENOUGH! It's time we get back to being a country of the
People! Even Teddy Roosevelt recognized this over a hundred years ago
when the country had gone through a failed period of Corporatism. He
said we need a strong middle class, because having more people with
more money is the key to a strong economy.
This depends on what your definition of "trickle down" is. Trickle Down
means that as investors invest, it creates jobs which is money in your
pocket. If you thought trickle down meant that someday you too will be
wealthy by having a standard job, then you fooled yourself.
GW and RR both cut taxes and that stimulated the economy; that's fact.
Back in the Reagan days, you couldn't even get a McDonalds job things
were so bad. GW took on the economy in spite of 911. And if Obama has
one ounce of common sense, he too will announce that not only will he
cut taxes for the wealthy, he will also sign a continuance of the Bush
tax cut set to expire in 2010.

You are assuming that investors always create jobs. I couldn't
disagree more! And NO, we don't need 4 more years of the last 28.
Reagan chose a direction for this country which was to outsource most
manufacturing jobs, and deregulate the hell out of everything. There
is no accountability for anything anymore. I believe it was
Eisenhower who taxed the richest 2% of people 70%. Our economy was
growing and booming during that time because we had such a strong
middle class of people with some expendable income, and they bought
things.
|
That's because back then, there was no other place wealthy people could
go and make the same amount of wealth. Today there is. Today,
corporations are leaving our country and paying much less taxes. They
still sell their products to our country, except they don't have to deal
with the bullshit that companies anchored here do.
At one time, our workers here didn't make much more than foreigners.
Thanks to unions, we now make ten times more (in come cases) than our
foreign competitors. We priced ourselves right out of the world market,
and handed over our manufacturing industry to places like China and
India.

No need to. Not once in my entire life has somebody told me I can't
have a job because a wealthy guy has the money I was supposed to make.
Not once was I denied the purchase of property or purchase of a vehicle
because some rich guy had too much property or cars. Not once did I
ever encounter resistance from a stock or commodity broker because the
rich guy took all the opportunities. Now once was I ever denied a
second job because the rich guy has too much money, and I couldn't make
more for myself.
Rush Limbaugh said it best a couple of times. He said that as a child,
his mother used to taunt him to finish his plate because some child in
China was starving. So he asked his mother.... with respect "If I eat
everything on this plate, how does it help that child in China?"
Thus far, you have not given me one example from personal (or any other
for that matter) experience how a wealthy person stopped you from
increasing your income. It's never happened. You know this and I know
this. And not once in the history of this country was there a time when
there was only so much money, and others were denied the opportunity to
create wealth of their own.

OH, you're just another whiney Republitard who is against any
regulations or inspections. You have a responsibility as a landlord
to provide a safe place for your tenants. You landlords charge more
than enough money to handle that stuff. When Reagan said
"government is not the solution, it's the problem!" I'm sure he is
including himself since he was governing. Republitards always like to
tell everybody that government is the problem, and then they get
elected and prove it! lol
|
Mack, any business passes it's cost on to the consumer. Without
government interference, I could charge my tenants less money. But I
can no longer do that because I need X amount of income to keep this
place operating. The problem I have now is that Government is forcing
me to make unneeded improvements that I can't recover through any
increase in rents. The bottom line is, I lose thanks to government.
Tenants who are unsatisfied with the living conditions have always had
the ability to complain to the city until the landlord corrects the
problems a tenant may have. But because of HUD and the housing crisis,
the city is now trying to extort money from landlords figuring (as you
have) that we have all this profit in which to offer; there is no truth
to this.
Today, I would have a real problem if something major goes, such as a
roof, a heater unit, a wall etc, etc because I had to take out loans to
make the idiotic improvements that the city forced me to make. So now
if something major does happen, I may have to be foreclosed on, and how
does that help my tenants who enjoyed livable rental prices all this
time? How does that help me?

Thats why we need to put the tariffs back in place. Any American
company that wants to move their operations offshore, and then export
their cheap shit back in should pay a tariff that is equal to the
difference between what they paid to make the product, and what it
would have cost here.
|
Okay. So we put in these tariffs. Now who pays these taxes? The lower
income mother with three children now has a higher grocery bill than she
did before. If she shops at WallMart, she now has to pay $120.00 for
merchandise that she used to pay $100.00 for. If a middle class worker
saves his money for a new automobile for the family, he now has to pay
an extra $3,000 for a Toyota, or forced to purchase an American car.
Either way, that's $3,000 out of the family budget, and cuts will have
to be made elsewhere.

would be making more money too if not for greedy rich rat bastards
like Bill Gates, and the CEO's of Ford, Chrysler, and GM.
Once again Mack, you failed to answer the question. There is no
"finite" amount of money in the United States. If Bill Gates doubled
his empire, and Warren Buffet tripled his, and Oprah quadrupled hers, I
can still go out and make as much money as I want; none of these people
are stopping me. I can still invest in real estate, still play with
the
commodity markets, still open up my own business and still go to
college
and further my education. Not one wealthy person is going to (or able
to) stop me from this. Who gave you this load of shit that there is a
finite amount of money? Who gave you this load of shit that some rich
guy is stopping you from increasing your income? Please explain how
that is done.

I think YOU need to explain where all this extra money is going to
come from. It doesn't just grow on trees. Are you operating a
printing plant in your basement printing up 100 dollar bills?
No need to. Not once in my entire life has somebody told me I can't
have a job because a wealthy guy has the money I was supposed to make..
Not once was I denied the purchase of property or purchase of a vehicle
because some rich guy had too much property or cars. Not once did I
ever encounter resistance from a stock or commodity broker because the
rich guy took all the opportunities. Now once was I ever denied a
second job because the rich guy has too much money, and I couldn't make
more for myself.
Rush Limbaugh said it best a couple of times. He said that as a child,
his mother used to taunt him to finish his plate because some child in
China was starving. So he asked his mother.... with respect "If I eat
everything on this plate, how does it help that child in China?"
Thus far, you have not given me one example from personal (or any other
for that matter) experience how a wealthy person stopped you from
increasing your income. It's never happened. You know this and I know
this. And not once in the history of this country was there a time when
there was only so much money, and others were denied the opportunity to
create wealth of their own.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it hasn't
happened. That would be like saying that because you have never
climbed Mt. Everest nobody else ever has either. Look, Ray, I'm not
saying that rich people are preventing me from making money. I'm
happy with my situation. But you are missing the big picture. Let's
say, for example, that Bill Gates had 999,999,999 trillion dollars.
Nobody needs that much money to survive, so he just keeps that money
in the bank. It just sits there collecting dust. It doesn't
stimulate the economy because he isn't spending it buying goods and
services. If that money was spread out among more people it would be
spent on things, which in turn requires more stuff be manufactured or
produced, which in turn requires more workers, which in turn creates
more people spending money and paying taxes, and I kid you not, it is
good for everyone! It's a win-win for the whole country. The way
things are it is only a win win for Gates and a few other overly
greedy rich bastards who don't pay taxes because of all the corporate
welfare loopholes.
Hmmmm. With all of these supposed loopholes, the top 5% of wage earners
in this country still pay over 50% of the taxes collected by the Federal
Government; The other 95% of us pay the other 50%.
And if Bill Gates and other "rich greedy bastards" did have this kind of
wealth, how do you suppose they got that wealth? By letting the money
sit in the bank making 2% interest in a bank somewhere?
See, the problem with people like you is you let the Democrats bullshit
you into all these fallacies. The wealthy people have their money
invested, and I don't mean at a bank. No matter how much wealth they
have, they always look to increase their wealth. Look at Donald Trump!
He's not only a billionaire in real estate, but now is branching off in
other things like his own shows. Don't you think a guy like that has
enough money to live the rest of his life comfortably?
Look at our entertainers! The Rolling Stones are still trying to do
concerts. Same with Aerosmith. Oprah is still doing her show, and now
took a couple of million to open up a Oprah radio channel on satellite
radio. Doesn't she have enough money?
The point here is that it's nobody's business what another makes. And
this insane jealousy and envy benefits you little. If you were more
consumed on advancing yourself financially and not what others have, you
too may be more successful in life.

Bullshit! I think that since the top 5% wage earners in the country
make over 75% of the income they should gladly pay more taxes. It's
the patriotic thing to do. Those Trillionaires all cheated and
stepped on people to get ahead. |

What do you do? Are you a long-haul? Own company, or work for
someone? And all else being equal, were you using the same tax
preparer during Clinton that you do now?
I'm a local driver with a single axle tractor. I've been using the
same
guy for 20 years. He keeps up on everything. I do own apartments,
but
the money I collect for rent goes right out for paying bills,
taxes,
insurance and repairs.

Sounds like some kind of mismanagement with your apartments. Why
would you want to own something that only breaks even?
Because in the long run, the renters pay my mortgage. When it's time
to
sell, the capital I have in this place is not my money. Besides, I
love
being a landlord. The only problem I have now is our local government
who is trying to bankrupt us with their stupid inspections and fees.
Add to that HUD who is turning my neighborhood into a ghetto, they
really knock the spirit out of the American dream. As RR said:
"Government is not the solution.... it's the problem." And I never
understood just how powerful those words were until I had to deal with
an all Democrat government who is trying to ruin me.

OH, you're just another whiney Republitard who is against any
regulations or inspections. You have a responsibility as a landlord
to provide a safe place for your tenants. You landlords charge more
than enough money to handle that stuff. When Reagan said
"government is not the solution, it's the problem!" I'm sure he is
including himself since he was governing. Republitards always like to
tell everybody that government is the problem, and then they get
elected and prove it! lol
Mack, any business passes it's cost on to the consumer. Without
government interference, I could charge my tenants less money. But I
can no longer do that because I need X amount of income to keep this
place operating. The problem I have now is that Government is forcing
me to make unneeded improvements that I can't recover through any
increase in rents. The bottom line is, I lose thanks to government..
Tenants who are unsatisfied with the living conditions have always had
the ability to complain to the city until the landlord corrects the
problems a tenant may have. But because of HUD and the housing crisis,
the city is now trying to extort money from landlords figuring (as you
have) that we have all this profit in which to offer; there is no truth
to this.
Today, I would have a real problem if something major goes, such as a
roof, a heater unit, a wall etc, etc because I had to take out loans to
make the idiotic improvements that the city forced me to make. So now
if something major does happen, I may have to be foreclosed on, and how
does that help my tenants who enjoyed livable rental prices all this
time? How does that help me?

I couldn't care less about helping you, ya greedy slumlord. There are
responsibilities to being a landlord, and you are required by law to
provide safe and clean living conditions for your tenants. If you got
a problem with it, sell the property. Maybe you just aren't cut out
for managing property.
My apartments are now and have always been top notch. Some of my
tenants were here from one year to 48 years; and not one complaint. And
if I could sell the property, I would. But that isn't possible in this
real estate climate. And when I do finally sell, the next guy is going
to raise rents so high my elderly tenants will no longer be able to live
here, and then they're out on the street. Thanks once again Democrat
government.

Sorry, but we've tried it your way for the last 28 years since
Reagan
became president. Reaganomics has NOT worked. The trickle down
theory is a failure. I don't know what has happened to all this
money
that you claim the wealthy and billionaires are investing, but IT
HAS
NOT TRICKLED DOWN! Has NOT led to new job growth or expansion of
the
economy. You Republicans have always had the misguided theory
that
the way to judge the wealth of the country is to measure how much
money the top 1 or 2% have. Throughout the history of our
country
there has been these periods of extreme corporatism such as we
have
had since Reagan took office. These periods generally last 25 to
30
years. It has been 28 years, and look what just happened..
Americans
are saying ENOUGH! It's time we get back to being a country of
the
People! Even Teddy Roosevelt recognized this over a hundred
years
ago
when the country had gone through a failed period of Corporatism.
He
said we need a strong middle class, because having more people
with
more money is the key to a strong economy.
This depends on what your definition of "trickle down" is. Trickle
Down
means that as investors invest, it creates jobs which is money in
your
pocket. If you thought trickle down meant that someday you too
will be
wealthy by having a standard job, then you fooled yourself.
GW and RR both cut taxes and that stimulated the economy; that's
fact.
Back in the Reagan days, you couldn't even get a McDonalds job
things
were so bad. GW took on the economy in spite of 911. And if Obama
has
one ounce of common sense, he too will announce that not only will
he
cut taxes for the wealthy, he will also sign a conti |
