Romney got his money by stealing pension funds. It is legal in this country, even though a pension should be considered a wage held in trust, it is considered a corporate asset.
If someone builds a business with hard work as brains, great.
If some corporate raider does a hostile takeover of a company and the next day transfer the labor's pensions to his own bank account, he then gets to run for President.
As if you have a choice class warfare is a fact of life it is us and them period, its just wether you recognize it and take your interests side.
Which the wealthiest certainly do look after their interest, and could not give a shit less about common people or the poor and want to have and control everything.
We have approx. 60,000 millionaires in the US. If you took an extra million from each of them for taxes it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket compared to 1,000,000 millionaires, if we had them.
This is all a bunch of crapola. Obama is stealing from America and lying to America and we are just taking it. No impeachment proceedings. Why?
It's all about political correctness. It has now become politically incorrect in the U.S. to criticize the rich and wealthy. Conservatives are now playing the "class warfare" card just like how liberals have been playing the "race" card. Only in the U.S. do u see people bitch and get sensitive about "class warfare" when someone brings up that the richest 1% owns over 43% of the total wealth. Grow a pair and start calling them for who they really are; greedy plutocrats who don't give a fuck
As I said I was raised in a broken home with five brothers and sisters, for the most part by my working mother, whom not only raised us but went to night school after work to better her education to make more money. Today, not only myself but all of my brothers and sisters are in the mid-class economic level from once poverty, including my mother. We were raised with pride and a positive attitude. Most of my friends started with nothing but an ideal and pride,maybe that's what's missing today?
@WarehouseHobbies Thanks for your comments, you have an inspiring story. While I wasn't raised in a poor family by any means, I do look to provide a better life for my children than I had. Teaching our youth the value of hardwork is essential, too many grow up with everything given to them without having to do anything for it. Then they get out in the real world and have a rude awakening. Thanks for your story.
@WarehouseHobbies On the flip side of that, too many children being raised in poorer families are taught that they have no control over their situation and are raised thinking that only the government can help them better their situation. A positive attitude and some elbow grease go a long way.
One of our best attributes is being able to speak freely and hear out others, reason, and come to some sort of mutual agreement, as well as solving problems, but your most recent comments of calling me an idiot and rotting in Hell just reassures me the lack of education people such as yourself really have, which is also part of the problem at hand. You comments are taken with the grain of salt. I would like to hear exactly how you think the US (our government) should solve our problems though.
If you want equality move to a socialistic country because we are different on a mental level, accept it. Each and every one of us has something to give in some capacity and at some level to shine. In the US we (including many of the homeless) can find a job, make a living if putting the effort fourth. If you think I said I was better than others your mistaken. Our differences are purely pride and commitment, each of which can be learned.
@ufewl Nothing that you just posted in anywhere in our constitution. And there is no welfare any place in the constitution so it can't be unconstitutional.
@myoungwci "Nothing that you just posted in anywhere in our constitution. And there is no welfare any place in the constitution so it can't be unconstitutional."
And nowhere does it say corporations are people and that money is speech. Yet, here we are.
We as Americans deserve nothing but freedom, and that freedom can empower us to the heights of each of our capabilities or limitations, and some reach higher and get more. All able bodied Americans with a positive outlook, passion, and perseverance, can make a life better than anywhere in this world, but lacking any or all of the three are destine for failure. The problem today is too many think they deserve what others work extra hard for. Chuck hit this on the head.
@ufewl With all due respect, there are over 400 billionaires in America. Based on your numbers that would mean we have 400 million homeless. We only have 312 million citizens in the entire country.
America has never been about being equal, this country was founded on being free. To compare read about the US revolution vs the French, we fought for freedom they fought for equality. Which country do you want to live in today.
@myoungwci he was not referring to all billionaires he was making out that anyone can made it, so your point is mute, most people stay in the class they were born in.
Also it was not founded on being 'free'. It was founded on Justice Tranquility common defence, general Welfare. You are an American, I am not but I know more about your constitution than you do!! And I never said totally equal, I said you had huge inequality.
@myoungwci Here is the purpose of your constitution I suggest you read it!!!!
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
@ufewl "promote the general welfare" is not the same as provide for the general welfare. The founders created a limited government, so that as a people we would be free to better our own lives and those around us. It is not the governments job to "provide" for our needs, they are there to "promote" a free environment were we can better our lives. If you want a baby sitter from cradle to grave, take a look at north korea, or any other failed communist nation that has ever existed.
@BIZARR0J failed nations? they are not the one who are are totally bankrupt such as the USA which has to print it's own money. You were quite happen to babysit for your extremely wealthy bankers though though weren't you?
WHAT HAPPENED THERE?
You baby sit fr your failed large companies too, all paid for by the welfare of the poorest people in your land. Where is the justice in that?
yes so please explain your huge trillion pound welfare hand outs to the wealthiest
@ufewl You obviously haven't read my other posts in this thread, I do not support the bank bailouts, they were wrong. NO ONE should be bailed out. If you create a system where the government provides for your every basic need you will create a nation of dependency. Your system, along with qmulus' fantasy world, are basically communism. Communism has NEVER worked, not once. It has always lead the death and starvation and slavery. You can keep it. Give me an example where it has ever worked.
@BIZARR0J furthermore "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
Clearly there is a intent to provide for the welfare of all citizens and clearly you government with 3 million homeless is an unconstitutional and corrupt one.
@ufewl "where in the constitution does it say it should be the land selfish evil psychopathic bastard? I don't see where it says that." It doesn't say that anywhere, it also doesn't say that the government will provide for your every need. It gives us the freedom to improve ourselves and profit from our own ingenuity and ideas. It protects our rights and limits the government from interfering as much as possible. I think you would like the communist constitution.
@myoungwci I'd rather live in France, you are bankrupt, despite 400 billionaires. 400 billionaire and 3 million homeless, that is a total disgrace, where is the justice in that? where is the tranquillity, where is the welfare. IT IS THE RICH WHO WAGE CLASS WARFARE ON THE POOR. Where is the justice in making the innocent homeless to bail out the guilty bankers. Your country is totally fucked, an evil land of greed inequality unfairness and injustice. May the shit hole USA burn in hell!
@ufewl Then enjoy France and good luck to you. That is the beauty of America, you are free to say what you want and free to leave. By the way I am not sure exactly how you think homeless people are bailing out bankers. If they are homeless do they really have the money to bail out anyone?
@qmulus1 You want someone to take care of you like your mommy. You don't want to make any decisions,you want to take money from others so you can have all the stuff and "play" with your hobbies.Again,you want all the benefits,but don't want the risk of failure or want to put in the hardwork necessary.Under your system no one would have to work hard,create a bunch of dependent slouches.Eventually you'd spend all the money, destroying the work ethic and incentive for those you take from.What then?
@BIZARR0J In my ideal world, machines would do the grunt work, and money would be non existent. We would have clean, renewable, free energy. Everyone would have their basic needs met. That would give us all the freedom to pursue whatever we were interested in.
Money would be obsolete.
We could have that. Technology has made that kind of world possible. We just need to say yes to it.
@qmulus1 "In my ideal world, machines would do the grunt work, and money would be non existent. We would have clean, renewable, free energy. Everyone would have their basic needs met."
Sorry to break it to you but your "ideal world" is a pipe dream. You just created a world where given that option, most of the population would become lazy slackards. Someone has to maintain the machines right? I guess you could enslave people to do those inconvenient jobs no one wants, worked for Stalin.
@qmulus1 If you want a mediocre life, and are just fine with"getting by"then france is the place for you.By all means move over there.I myself am looking to improve my lifestyle with hardwork and earning a living.Don't begrudge me for wanting to work for something better, if you're fine with government housing,government rationed healthcare,and government rationed food stamps,then France is calling your name along with the rest of europe.I here Greece, Spain, Belgium,etc are doing great as well.
@BIZARR0J No life is mediocre. This isn't a competition. I just wanna live stress and hassle free. Our current system is designed to keep us all indentured. Shackled. I have nothing against you wanting a better life. Nothing I'm suggesting would stop you from having that. I'm saying no one should have to be cold, sick, homeless or hungry.
NO ONE.
If we tweaked a few things in our system, we could have that without stopping you from improving your lifestyle.
@qmulus1 You are insane. If you create a system where you don't have to work, it will be flooded with freeloaders, like you, who want to pursue their "fun" hobbies and not be inconvenienced with a days work. We already have a problem of people sucking every little entitlement they can from the system so they don't have to work. Yes I would lose my lifestyle because pricks like you would eventually suck the system dry and come after those like me to provide it to you. As you are trying to do now.
@BIZARR0J Now you're just being rude. There's no need to call names here. Guess what, taxes are lower than they have EVER been (since 1913 anyway). NO ONE is coming for you. NO ONE cares that you make 20 buck an hour. That's nothing. You are not rich. You are still in the 99%.
@qmulus1 Truth hurts sometimes. You've already admitted that you want to be taken care of, don't want to do what it takes to support the life style that you want. Look in a mirror. Your system, basically communism with robots, has always failed. Always will fail because it is built on the backs of those who want to work to pay for those who do not want to work.
@BIZARR0J You aren't listening. Robots have failed in the communist system before? Since when did the Soviets have robots. I must have that.
You have a pretty distorted vision of what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a system where all the Earth's resources and technology are used to create an abundant, stress free lifestyle for everyone. That would leave people with freedom (and time) to pursue their interests, nurture their talents and help raise our species to a higher level.
@qmulus1 Have to go to bed now, it's been a real eye opener. I fear for this country with people like you around. I have one of those pesky "jobs" that makes me work to provide for my family, better get some sleep. I actually have to wait till I get home from work or the weekend to enjoy my hobbies, can you believe that?
@BIZARR0J "Have to go to bed now, it's been a real eye opener. I fear for this country with people like you around.

After you're done pumping yourself up, maybe you can answer my question:
What makes you think that people would sit around and do nothing in my ideal world?
@WarehouseHobbies I have personally been to many countries around the world, and let tell you there are plenty of homeless everywhere, and it is sad. I will also say that our country the USA is made up of the most caring and giving people in the world, and it starts with you and I not our government. Next time you see a homeless person reach in your pocket, or do like I and offer a day or two wages, he or she just may surprise you, both good and bad. Maybe simple advice like this, who knows?
@ufewl@ufewl@ufewl I think your math is wrong as one of the 87% that would mean that over 300,000,000 (million) people in the USA are homeless. I think not. Nowhere is or has it ever been written that the USA was and equal country, I think you misunderstand, the USA is an Equal Opportunity country. This means that you and I have the same opportunity to achieve our goals, and to say that being born rich isn't fair, is a cop-out, because for one I was born pretty poor and from a broken family.
@WarehouseHobbies now idea where you got 87% from, I gave a figure of 3 million which is correct. Google "UN investigator accuses US of shameful neglect of homeless" for details.You put false words in my mouth and then say I am wrong I did not say all in the US shoudl be equal but that the USA has the greatest inequality in the world - that's shameful. What is not fair is to make the claim that you as one person are statistically significant. - That's total bullshit.
@WarehouseHobbies Only a complete idiot would use a sample on one out of 250 million to prove a point. The vast majority of people in the USA stay in the class they were born. More than 40% of those Americans born in the bottom quintile remain stuck there as adults. That is a real statistic that reveals the truth, you statistic of one was an evil little bit of propaganda to justify, poverty inequality and homelessnesses.
Jesus...I have a hard time even watching this based on the name of the poster alone. SaveUsChuckWoolery really? What is he the messiah? It kills the message before the message even starts.
I'm tired of the "conservatives are crazy" BS the left spews. Ya I'm crazy for thinking that people should be held accountable for their own actions, that I know how to spend my money better than a bloated government that mismanages everything they touch, that I believe in America and that if you put in the effort and time you can succeed (no matter your background), that redistributing wealth is insane because there comes a point when you have no one left to take from. Ya that's crazy talk.
A person should work 60 hours a week by their choice, to kick ass and get ahead, not just to scrape by. I doubt Chuck Woolery gets that with his fake tan and smug attitude.
I meant his shitty privileged attitude and perspective on others who have less......of course 8th place trophies are bullshit. I own my own porn company, as if it's any of your business. No one is talking about punishing success, people are talking about holding assholes accountable for becoming successful dishonestly and/or on the backs of others and I dunno, they are against someone having to work 60 hours a week just to survive.
@JonnyRansom1 Exactly! Olympic athletes who get caught doping up suffer the consequences of their cheating. How is it none of the people who had a hand in the crash are held to account? Why do they get to keep their "1st place ribbons"?
@qmulus1 I agree that those who caused this mess shouldn't keep their "1st place ribbons", the banks should not have been bailed out. They should have been allowed to fail and make way for the stronger companies to move in and correct the mistakes. The bailout only rewarded failure and encouraged bad behavior. Same as our welfare system creates dependency and encourages laziness. No one should be bailed out. You reap what you sow.
@BIZARR0J I agree that no one should be bailed out. However, lets not equate corporations and institutions with human beings. I'm all for greedy/corrupt banks and companies being left out to dry when they mess up. I'm NOT for people being left homeless and hungry when they mess up. Everyone should have the bare minimum it takes to stay alive, weather they worked for it, or not.
@qmulus1 - Granted there should be means available for those truly in dire straits, but the government should not be involved. It should be left to private individuals, churches, and charities. Let's be honest, the government doesn't give a crap how it spends our tax dollars, they are more concerned in getting votes than actually helping people. At least a church or charity is going to track how the money is spent, and people will donate based on the results they see.
@BIZARR0J "Granted there should be means available for those truly in dire straits, but the government should not be involved."
Why not the government? If they were to take HALF of the war budget and put it into feeding and housing those in need (whose numbers are growing), NO ONE would be starving in this country. There are no individuals, charities and churches that have the funds and resources of the government.
@qmulus1 - Again you completely missed my point, the gov does not give a shit how it spends your money. They throw tax dollars around like candy (solyndra anyone?). If you put private charities or churches in charge of it they will actually care where it goes and how it is spent, if individuals are given the choice of what charity to give to they will donate to those that put it to good use and don't waste it. You honestly think the government spends tax dollars wisely?
@BIZARR0J No, they don't spend it all wisely. The wars = waste. The bailouts = waste.
What makes you think people are just going to give to charity? ABC news reported that on average 60% of monies donated to charity actually goes to where it's supposed to.
@qmulus1 Again you miss my whole point about personal responsiblity, if you willy nilly donate to anyone of course you will lose money to idiots. You can research charities and find out how much of every dollar you give goes to those in need. You are looking for someone to take care of you so you don't have to make any hard decisions, you get what you deserve. If you want the government to take control of your life, be careful what you wish for. Goodnight and goodluck.
@BIZARR0J "Let's be honest, the government doesn't give a crap how it spends our tax dollars, they are more concerned in getting votes than actually helping people."
You're right. That's because we have the wrong people in there. If we had public financing of campaigns and took corporate money out of politics, we would see our taxes spent more wisely by people who actually DO care.
You say you own a porn shop and you're moralizing to everyone? If you do, you definitely make your living on the backs of others, and their knees, and their whatever. There's a whole lot more involved in the porn industry than porn, and if I need to spell it out for you, you either don't care, or don't want to know. And don't bother calling me names and talking tough, it don't sell.
@JonnyRansom1 - Now that is a response, I can see how you don't like the messenger, but that doesn't make the message any less true. The majority of what you call the "1%" got where they are at by creating a product or service that others wanted to buy or invest in, they did it in an honest way. There is a small percentage of the 1% that does it the wrong way, but don't classify all "rich" people into one category because of the 1% of the 1%. Cheers.
@JonnyRansom1 much better retort, the bizarro world thing was great. I actually try to live in the real world, where I actually have to work and pay my bills. I work 60+ hours a week, WTF do you do? Please tell me what you disagree with in this video, I'd like to know. Do you think that 8th place trophies and rewarding mediocrity is a good thing somehow? In the real world you have to put forth effort to succeed. Rewarding mediocrity and failure, and then punishing success is bizarro world.
@JonnyRansom1 111 likes and 9 dislikes, ya sure looks like the 99% are behind you, nice retort by the way, highly intellectual. You've definitely changed my opinion with your facts and logic. Having fun polishing all your participation trophies?
Yeah these guys are the 99% of all the crybaby whiny asses in this country. And the other tards are blowing smoke about deregulation. Community Reinvestment Act plus Dem congress 1/2007 to 1/2011 equaled the crisis.
Few things are cooler than when someone you'd think is entrenched in Hollywood liberalness has the balls to stand up and say he's a conservative. America will be back in two and two, dude! :-)
No conservative will take responsibility for the mass deregulation that led to the private mortgage market with a failure rate of 51% and a derivatives market that sold $60 trillion in contracts leveraged at 30/1.
This "Obama is the only problem" personal attck campaign y'all have been at for 3 years impresses no one but the right.
The rest of us are sick of hearing how every problem is only Obama and the Dems fault when we lived through 2000-2008.
@HopeForPeaceNow It was not mass deregulation that caused the mortgage crisis, it was legislation that required banks to lower their standards for giving out loans. This ended up with people with loans they could not afford. This also created higher demand, because more people were "qualifying" for loans,which in turn raised home prices creating the "bubble" of falsely high home values. People ended up defaulting on their loans and crashed the system. Legislation (regulation) caused the problem.
@BIZARR0J "It was not mass deregulation that caused the mortgage crisis, it was legislation that required banks to lower their standards for giving out loans."
Ever heard of the derivative bubble? Or the repeal of the Glass Steagal act? Those were the biggest contributing factors to the collapse.
"Legislation (regulation) caused the problem."
It was actually DEregulation that caused more of the problem. Deregulation and suicidal trade policies.
@qmulus1 The problem originates long before the GSA, the Community Reinvestment Act, with started the lowering of lending standards was the beginning (well for that aspect anyway). The point is the government isn't our baby sitter, we have enough access to information to make responsible decisions for OURSELVES. The CRA, (regulation, not DEregulation) created the subprime mortgage crisis, which lead to the investments built on top of them to tank.
@BIZARR0J Add to that, the Reagan tax cuts, the busting of unions, the dismantling of our manufacturing base, the addition of women to the workforce, the increase of public debt to maintain our standard of living, the influx of cheap products made in China (and other nations that provide cheap labor), the stagnation of wages in relation to inflation since the 70's, the ever increasing cost of health care, and other factors helped put us in this position. It's time to start over.
@qmulus1 By start over are you suggesting that a bigger more intrusive government is the solution? They run all their other programs so great we should give them more power? And please, don't even insinuate that I want to take away womens rights or that I support slave labor. Unions have become more about political power than about protecting workers. Smaller government and more personal responsibility is the solution. The gov providing all your needs will only create more debt and freeloaders.
@BIZARR0J Lemme see...Social Security has been run pretty damn well. Medicare has trucked along pretty well. The Postal Service? It does what it does really well, but it's being edged out by technology. The FDA? When it's not being run by corruption, it does a good job. FEMA? When you have the right people in charge, it runs really well. Firefighters and police (when they're not abusing their power)? Excellent!
Where in our government do you see things being run badly?
@qmulus1 Are you serious? Wow, ok if you insist. Social Security= Bankrupt ("out go" is greater than "in go") Medicare = Soon to be bankrupt, full of fraud and mismanagement. Postal Service, is actually bankrupt, has run in a deficit for years. Firefighters and police, I'll give you that one, but only because that is run by local governments. Dept of Education, waste of money, performance has decreased since they started that program. Congress can legally perform insider trading. etc etc
@BIZARR0J Social security is solvent for the next 20 years. And if they raised the cap, it would be solvent for all time. If we had medicare for everybody, healthcare costs would drop, and medicare would be solvent for decades. The Postal is bankrupt because they were forced to pay pensions they couldn't afford and weren't allowed to renegotiate thanks to the republican house. Other than that, they really have little purpose besides junk mail and bills.
@qmulus1 more examples of "great run" programs: blog.heritage.org/2009/10/08/50-examples-of-government-waste/ , wow solvent for 20 years, that is awesome. Raise the cap, when that happens you and your friends will be raising hell for how unfair it is. Again, pensions they couldn't afford, if they did renegotiate for lower pensions you would have raised hell for the evil republicans taking away their benefits, lose-lose. Put everyone on medicare, sure fire way to bankrupt us. wow
@BIZARR0J We're already bankrupt, btw. When I say "raise the cap" I mean raise the cap over $109,000.
Everyone pays a percentage of their earnings to SS up to $109,000. So if you make $109,000 a year, you're paying the same dollar amount to the social security trust fund as someone making 109 million a year. If the cap was raised to $250,000 or even a million, social security would never go broke.
@qmulus1 Again you believe in punishing success, and redistributing wealth. You disincentivise people to earn more. Do you think we would have the ipad or all the technology we have if individuals weren't making a profit? You will run out of "rich" people to tax at some point then then your left with a society that is dependent on the government and unable or unwilling to work. Rewarding mediocrity and punishing success, pathway to dependency and slavery. Goodnight, I have to work in 4 hours.
@BIZARR0J As for new tech like the ipad, I think the engineers at apple LOVE to invent new things. They aren't motivated solely by money. Apple started in a garage. They had no idea they would become what they are today. They just thought they were onto something really cool. They were geeking out.
@qmulus1 You are very correct in your assumption. Innovative people do not do what they do solely for the money, where those that are not innovative may, and the money is their motivation. Never the less both parties are important and to work in harmony and equally motivated. But as my innovations grew my company the business obligations followed, and to maintain this the bottom line became more important. For most companies it is a balancing act among the two, often mis-defined as greed.
@BIZARR0J I love to make music, act in theater, travel, assemble electronic components, and all sorts of things I could make money doing. But that's not why I do them. The fact that I make no money doing them doesn't stop me from doing them. The only things that stop me are time constraints due to my 9-5. THAT I do for money. Incentive sucks.
@WarehouseHobbies I'm content. Satisfied? No. Fulfilled? Not even close. I do it because I would be on the street if I didn't. I'm not one of those folks who lives to work. My true passions lie in the more artistic fields (music, theater, etc.). Unfortunately those fields are highly competitive and take a lot of time, perseverance and luck to make a reliable living on. I do them for the love...as a hobby. If I didn't HAVE to work a 9-5, I would do them almost exclusively.
@qmulus1 I was a working musician in the late 80's and very close to the gold ring, but the industry changed and I was out as fast as I came in. However, I was building this business at the same time working 10 hour days and then playing into the nights. I put great TIME and EFFORT into both at the same time, hoping that one would if not both would prosper. I still work ten hour days now 30 years later and have three businesses I run. It's all about how bad do you want it. Don't give up.
@BIZARR0J "Raise the cap, when that happens you and your friends will be raising hell for how unfair it is."
Probably not. I don't make a lot of money.
"Again, pensions they couldn't afford, if they did renegotiate for lower pensions you would have raised hell for the evil republicans taking away their benefits, lose-lose."
@qmulus1 "Probably not. I don't make a lot of money." exactly you don't give a shit about spending other peoples money either. waste waste waste, this is pointless. You want all the benefits, without the hardwork. Try living in North Korea, I hear they are doing great on that program.
@BIZARR0J "exactly you don't give a shit about spending other peoples money either. waste waste waste, this is pointless. You want all the benefits, without the hardwork. Try living in North Korea, I hear they are doing great on that program."
How is making elderly people aren't living on the streets eating cat food? That's what social security and medicare are for. North Korea has nothing to do with anything.
You speak as though you're wealthy. Are you? If not, why do you care?
@qmulus1 "You speak as though you're wealthy. Are you? If not, why do you care?" Wealthy I am not, but I would like to be. 10 years ago I was making 6 bucks an hour, 5 years ago I was making 11 bucks an hour, today I'm making around 20 bucks an hour. I plan on working hard and getting up to 30-40 bucks an hour in the next 5 years. It's called hard work. I work my ass off to provide a better life for my family, not so self entitled, envious, slack jobs can whine about wanting my money.
@BIZARR0J Good for you. Keep it up. Just wait until you're a billionaire to worry about how much you're being taxed. Until then, you really have no business worrying about how much Uncle Sam taxes them.
@qmulus1 Wow, you seriously have no ambition in life do you, other than to be supported by others so you can do as you please. It is my business how millionaires and billionaires are taxed, they are citizens like me. Most of whom have worked their asses off to get where they are at today, as I am trying to do as well. They don't owe me or anyone else 50% of their income. Will I be a billionaire someday, probably not, but this country gives me the best opportunity of any out there.
@BIZARR0J What is the point of having ambition and being rich if people are suffering needlessly? Will you keep patting yourself on the back when our planet has been run into the ground thanks to the capitalist system?
We're reaching the precipice. Earth won't be able to sustain our way of life if we keep doing what we've been doing. When your water is polluted, and your air unbreathable, it won't matter how hard you busted your ass. I'm thinking about the future.
@BIZARR0J revision: How is making SURE elderly people aren't living on the streets eating cat food A BAD THING? That's what social security and medicare are for.
You talk like you're one of the downtrodden 1% who work SOOOOO hard only to have lazy poor people and big government tax you to the point of only being able to buy 2 mansions in the Hamptons.

Romney got his money by stealing pension funds. It is legal in this country, even though a pension should be considered a wage held in trust, it is considered a corporate asset.
If someone builds a business with hard work as brains, great.
If some corporate raider does a hostile takeover of a company and the next day transfer the labor's pensions to his own bank account, he then gets to run for President.

Most of my friends started with nothing but an ideal and pride,maybe that's what's missing today?

Teaching our youth the value of hardwork is essential, too many grow up with everything given to them without having to do anything for it. Then they get out in the real world and have a rude awakening. Thanks for your story.

If you want equality move to a socialistic country because we are different on a mental level, accept it. Each and every one of us has something to give in some capacity and at some level to shine. In the US we (including many of the homeless) can find a job, make a living if putting the effort fourth. If you think I said I was better than others your mistaken. Our differences are purely pride and commitment, each of which can be learned.

Yeah these guys are the 99% of all the crybaby whiny asses in this country. And the other tards are blowing smoke about deregulation. Community Reinvestment Act plus Dem congress 1/2007 to 1/2011 equaled the crisis.

No conservative will take responsibility for the mass deregulation that led to the private mortgage market with a failure rate of 51% and a derivatives market that sold $60 trillion in contracts leveraged at 30/1.
This "Obama is the only problem" personal attck campaign y'all have been at for 3 years impresses no one but the right.
The rest of us are sick of hearing how every problem is only Obama and the Dems fault when we lived through 2000-2008.

@HopeForPeaceNow It was not mass deregulation that caused the mortgage crisis, it was legislation that required banks to lower their standards for giving out loans. This ended up with people with loans they could not afford. This also created higher demand, because more people were "qualifying" for loans,which in turn raised home prices creating the "bubble" of falsely high home values. People ended up defaulting on their loans and crashed the system. Legislation (regulation) caused the problem.

@BIZARR0J "It was not mass deregulation that caused the mortgage crisis, it was legislation that required banks to lower their standards for giving out loans."
Ever heard of the derivative bubble? Or the repeal of the Glass Steagal act? Those were the biggest contributing factors to the collapse.
"Legislation (regulation) caused the problem."
It was actually DEregulation that caused more of the problem. Deregulation and suicidal trade policies.

@qmulus1 The problem originates long before the GSA, the Community Reinvestment Act, with started the lowering of lending standards was the beginning (well for that aspect anyway). The point is the government isn't our baby sitter, we have enough access to information to make responsible decisions for OURSELVES. The CRA, (regulation, not DEregulation) created the subprime mortgage crisis, which lead to the investments built on top of them to tank.

@BIZARR0J Add to that, the Reagan tax cuts, the busting of unions, the dismantling of our manufacturing base, the addition of women to the workforce, the increase of public debt to maintain our standard of living, the influx of cheap products made in China (and other nations that provide cheap labor), the stagnation of wages in relation to inflation since the 70's, the ever increasing cost of health care, and other factors helped put us in this position. It's time to start over.
qmulus1 2 months ago
@qmulus1 By start over are you suggesting that a bigger more intrusive government is the solution? They run all their other programs so great we should give them more power? And please, don't even insinuate that I want to take away womens rights or that I support slave labor. Unions have become more about political power than about protecting workers. Smaller government and more personal responsibility is the solution. The gov providing all your needs will only create more debt and freeloaders.

@BIZARR0J Lemme see...Social Security has been run pretty damn well. Medicare has trucked along pretty well. The Postal Service? It does what it does really well, but it's being edged out by technology. The FDA? When it's not being run by corruption, it does a good job. FEMA? When you have the right people in charge, it runs really well. Firefighters and police (when they're not abusing their power)? Excellent!
Where in our government do you see things being run badly?

@qmulus1 Are you serious? Wow, ok if you insist. Social Security= Bankrupt ("out go" is greater than "in go") Medicare = Soon to be bankrupt, full of fraud and mismanagement. Postal Service, is actually bankrupt, has run in a deficit for years. Firefighters and police, I'll give you that one, but only because that is run by local governments. Dept of Education, waste of money, performance has decreased since they started that program. Congress can legally perform insider trading. etc etc

@BIZARR0J Social security is solvent for the next 20 years. And if they raised the cap, it would be solvent for all time. If we had medicare for everybody, healthcare costs would drop, and medicare would be solvent for decades. The Postal is bankrupt because they were forced to pay pensions they couldn't afford and weren't allowed to renegotiate thanks to the republican house. Other than that, they really have little purpose besides junk mail and bills.

@qmulus1 more examples of "great run" programs: blog.heritage.org/2009/10/08/50-examples-of-government-waste/ , wow solvent for 20 years, that is awesome. Raise the cap, when that happens you and your friends will be raising hell for how unfair it is. Again, pensions they couldn't afford, if they did renegotiate for lower pensions you would have raised hell for the evil republicans taking away their benefits, lose-lose. Put everyone on medicare, sure fire way to bankrupt us. wow

@BIZARR0J We're already bankrupt, btw. When I say "raise the cap" I mean raise the cap over $109,000.
Everyone pays a percentage of their earnings to SS up to $109,000. So if you make $109,000 a year, you're paying the same dollar amount to the social security trust fund as someone making 109 million a year. If the cap was raised to $250,000 or even a million, social security would never go broke.

You will run out of "rich" people to tax at some point then then your left with a society that is dependent on the government and unable or unwilling to work.

qmulus1 2 months ago
@BIZARR0J As for new tech like the ipad, I think the engineers at apple LOVE to invent new things. They aren't motivated solely by money. Apple started in a garage. They had no idea they would become what they are today. They just thought they were onto something really cool. They were geeking out.
qmulus1 2 months ago
@qmulus1 You are very correct in your assumption. Innovative people do not do what they do solely for the money, where those that are not innovative may, and the money is their motivation. Never the less both parties are important and to work in harmony and equally motivated. But as my innovations grew my company the business obligations followed, and to maintain this the bottom line became more important. For most companies it is a balancing act among the two, often mis-defined as greed.

@BIZARR0J I love to make music, act in theater, travel, assemble electronic components, and all sorts of things I could make money doing. But that's not why I do them. The fact that I make no money doing them doesn't stop me from doing them. The only things that stop me are time constraints due to my 9-5. THAT I do for money. Incentive sucks.

@WarehouseHobbies I'm content. Satisfied? No. Fulfilled? Not even close. I do it because I would be on the street if I didn't. I'm not one of those folks who lives to work. My true passions lie in the more artistic fields (music, theater, etc.). Unfortunately those fields are highly competitive and take a lot of time, perseverance and luck to make a reliable living on. I do them for the love...as a hobby. If I didn't HAVE to work a 9-5, I would do them almost exclusively.

@qmulus1 I was a working musician in the late 80's and very close to the gold ring, but the industry changed and I was out as fast as I came in. However, I was building this business at the same time working 10 hour days and then playing into the nights. I put great TIME and EFFORT into both at the same time, hoping that one would if not both would prosper. I still work ten hour days now 30 years later and have three businesses I run. It's all about how bad do you want it. Don't give up.
