@McamelyneII oh...I had fun though =) MERRY CHRISTMAS and I wish you well...

@McamelyneII - Sorry, when it comes to economy if your name isn't Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Adam Smith, FA Hayek...etc I don't know if I would bother to check out your site especially if you couldn't handle little o'l me...no you can't go more than 500 characters but if you scroll down from the first time we've responded to each other...you used up alot of characters so far!

@CHEKPNT - Sorry, I can't talk economic policy in 500 characters. go to scribd com and look up my address michael d ballantine and you will find my policies in detail.

@McamelyneII So are you now going to talk about fraud and banks, special interest (money buys favored treatment), or the unfortunates gets punished? Your rambling and jumping to different topics of charges and opinions.... So can you focus on one subject at a time...lol? I asked you for a couple of things to back up your statements from your last response... now it seems your changing the subject again without answering me.

@CHEKPNT Fraud is neither social nor an ethical issue, it's a criminal issue. There is ample evidence that fraud was committed, yet no one went to jail. You may want to wrap yourself in legalism but I am sure that if I did what they did in a small bank with less money involved, I would be sitting in jail. Money buys favored treatment, little guy gets punished, that is the American reality. If you havn't figured that out by now, you don't want to. I don't favor big gov, just a fair one.

@McamelyneII Please elaborate why the system is not fair and how they are getting screwed in a logical context...be in mind there isn't a system that is perfect.
What if people don't think it's handouts and actually believes it's a right...therefore it's not a hand out? What happened to you favoring Big Government...they were the one who bailed out the banks and nobody went to jail because they didn't break any law except maybe social justice law...your all over the place.

@McamelyneII I've notice every time I respond you change the subject. So, I guess your presuming I know nothing about U.S. history now lol... and you want to change the subject from Economic Systems to why people are protesting... my opinion may bare little relations to how you view the real world... so i guess your trying to tie the times of those decades of unfair practices of workers to the now modern times. In my view it has reversed The unions are taking advantage now...

Do us both a favor and look back through US history at the labor rights movement between 1900 and 1935. Then talk to be about people who have entitlements protesting. Your opinions are your own but they bare little relationship to the real world. People are protesting because the system is not fair and they are getting screwed. It is not because they want a hand out, the banks have stolen trillions and nobody went to jail, put them in jail, then we can talk about handouts.

@McamelyneII Never said not to do nothing...I hope you don't feel all other options and suggestions are not considered nothing if it's not what you want to do. Have you notice most that are doing most of the aggressive protest are people that are really dependent on the government ...It's anticipated, in an entitlement society that people will protest aggressively if anything is taken away from them...even if the country is broke...Greece, Spain, Italy...etc.
@McamelyneII Changing the current leaders does not guarantee that they'll be any better, they maybe even worse. For me it's not such a closed case as you seem without solid supportive strong evidence suggesting our current leaders are basically evil. Lobbyist are people that represent large amount of people most out number the large corporation lobbyist 20 to one. Like I said Smaller Efficient Transparent Well Runned Goverment can reduce the amount of fraud and corruption.

@McamelyneII Wow seem like you trust government spending and budgeting whole heatedly...With millions of dollars wasted in venture investment such as Solyndra and wasteful bureaucratic system such as Fannie mae and Freddie mac, useless projects like bridge to nowhere,etc...
I do agree with 2-3% national tax directly for just funding Social Security and Medicare. Program is there for good might as well fund it correctly.
