[ardizd]

[shroomduke]

Is greenspan realy that stupid>? he must live in a bubble! lets just call Greenspan the boy in the bubble or "Bubbleboy" Greenbubble, Bubblespan! He's got to be kidding! I can't believe this shit! Wall Street holds America's Economy for ransom for $700 Billion, Loots Main Street, Steals peoples homes and he want's to know where the anomosity comes from!

Share the wealth! end the Tax Cuts, stop the Tax Evasion, Stop tax breaks for outsourcing, Tax the Church, Tax the rich!

[TheMiguelGrande]

Why would anyone believe any of these liars? Geitner, Greenspan and Schultz are all liars. News cycles? Propaganda!

[minion00069]

giutner or however u spell it looks like a vampire off of the lostboys...fitting seeing how he is helping suck this country dry...

[MrVasumogan]

Learn to SAVE moron presenter! You will find the answer! If America start producing stuff with keeping in mind your high cost of labour, you will not be able to afford your own product! Unless you devalue your currency! Yes and devalue of dollar is bound to happen!

[Monkor001]

It's crap like this that we need to introduce a tarriff. Companies love the american consumer but they hate the american worker. I'm sure that if we made them pay the difference in labor costs plus a percentage it would become "economically feesable" to move our jobs back here. Hell, even impose a tax on a company operating a call center out of country, we need to pull back into ourselves more or we're going to end up everywhere but here.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 How much more do we need to pull back into ourselves? Do what Japan did back in the 17th and 18th centuries?

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy Is bringing manufacturing and other good paying jobs back to america when we're in the middle of a recession with record unemployment and home foreclosures, bank bailouts ect being isolationist or is it simply providing a living for people in this country.

Don't be a fucking moron.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 You know, Monkor, the last part of your comment could very easily be applied to yourself; how will pulling back into ourselves solve any of America's problems? Why not try to get S.3816 made the law of the land, and discourage these multinationals from constantly exporting American jobs overseas? If you have a chance, go to your nearest library, and check out a copy of Lou Dobbs' book, "Exporting America".

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy I could easily be indeed. I'm surprised that the lack of manufacturing capability in america isn't a national security issue. If we cannot produce what we consume we are not sustainable. I work an industry that can't be overseas due to time constraints so I'm lucky but I'm not blind to the loss of our manufacturing capability. Could we repeat what we accomplished in WWII? Or even come close?

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 That is a very good question, Monkor, with so much of our manufacturing base outsourced overseas, I don't know if we could repeat what was accomplished in WWII.

[Monkor001]

@mannecyberguy It can't in my opinion. Back then people called themselves "citizens", now most consider themselves "consumers" or "civilians" . Me you and everybody else own this country, we're sovereign citizens, a nation of KINGS. That is what's slowly being taken away from us, that's why I lament exporting valuable jobs. As long as America stays happy and safe the rest of the world can burn if it so chooses.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 Not a very prudent attitude, Monkor. Remember, the universe does NOT, nor ever will revolve around America; I'm not all that crazy about American jobs being shipped abroad because while the outsourcers talk about cutting costs, by exporting jobs, they (the manufacturers) are firing their customers, but are too stupid(or greedy) to care, plus, if the rest of the world DOES burn, America WILL be affected in some way or another, mark my words.

[mannecyberguy]

@Monkor001 They(the companies)seem to be ignorant of the fact that the American consumer and worker are one and the same. BTW, in the late 1920s and America passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and then other countries passed their own tariffs in retaliation; What good would a tariff do America with our massive debt to China, and our humongous trade deficit?

[dizzymasekela]

The uber-wealthy(and you dipshit Republicans making $20,000/year aren't uber-wealthy and never will be) own more than 90% of the country's wealth. Working-class and middle-class Americans should declare war on the top one percent wealthiest Americans.  Kill the rich. At least let their Bush tax cuts expire, bring back the estate tax, and pass EFCA.

[WikeddTung]

@dizzymasekela amen.

[kileer71]

1.8 Trillion in cash, 6.8 Trillion in liability. They can't do anything.

[WikeddTung]

the US is supposed to be government by, for and of the PEOPLE, not government by, for and of the CORPORATIONS. period. fuck corporations, banks and companies and the cocksucking politicians who do their bidding.

[CO2Junkie]

@WikeddTung - F*ck yeah! Amen brother!

[EziekielNightwind]

@WikeddTung The thing is, the country was founded by merchants. Enlightened and well meaning merchants, but merchants one the less. Pissed off about taxes (much like the banks are right now) and who were able to con the people into fighting their war, under the banner of revolution.

A war that had slaves fighting against the country that had abolished slavery.

[mikepalomino]

@EziekielNightwind They were not "pissed off about taxes" they were pissed off about taxes without representation in Parliament. As it was American colonists were already taxed much lower than native Englishmen. Taxes are a necessity for a functioning society even the Founding Fathers new this as evidenced by the actions of George Washington in the wake of the Whiskey Rebellion. Some malcontents will never be happy with any amount of taxes it seems.

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

It's Wall St vs. the World!

Sure, Wall St. does' good, pensions do good!

Then,

Wall St. slips out with the inside heads up from the federal reserve when they are going to pull the plug on the dollar to institute a new global currency then your pension go down with the ship! Boom, road kill.

[historygeek2007]

Wait until the general election, and then these charlatans will unleash all this money to support GOP candidates, who will of course give Wall Street the store.

Once again, the middle and working class get the shitty end of the stick, and they are handed said stick by the GOP.

Emerging markets? Again, Wall Street throws America under the bus to make a buck. The GOP and their Corporate masters are disingenuous, greedy, self serving poltroons.

[citizenkong]

For the life of me I'll never understand why any one that is working class would vote Republican.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

@citizenkong x2

[godawefulll]

Go Ed!!! The working class have been left to die!!! ESPECIALLY the 99ers WALL ST helped create!!!

[rjbonacolta]

Of course they treat us like shit, the worse they treat us the more money they make. When will we wake up and realize that if we don't regulate these motherless bastards we'll wake up in 1850 when people were paid almost nothing and worked to death. Oh wait that's already happened!

[LouieArrighi]

our country was founded on protectionist policies. the same policies we had in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
