Greed and money will not get you far once your 6ft under. Its easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get to heaven.
Well first of all the Dow is an indicator of the economy's future. Obama's policies are scaring the he!! out of the market and since his nomination the market has lost 20% of its value. And what the heck (Andy Griffith moment) is soooo wrong with getting rich?
We are currently experiencing a Barney Frank(and a lot of other dems) screw up.... encouraging Government created business(fanie/Fredie mac) to give money to anyone who wanted a house. Hence you get trickle UP FUBAR!!!!
You, like most people infatuated with wealth envy, just don't get how capitalism works (and works very well). It's all about motivation. People are not motivated to work their butts off just to see their results get confiscated. People in this position will just do the minimum, as they will always become resentful of the freeloaders.
There's an interesting story of the first Thanksgiving that you were probably never taught in your government school. The first year that the pilgrims spent in Massachusetts was extremely difficult. (By the way, the only reason they stopped in Mass. instead of continuing on to Virginia was they ran out of beer). Anyway, they worked together to grow crops, but they were dying of starvation. Eventually, Governor William Bradford decided to try something different. He gave each colonist a plot of land, and told them they could keep or even sell their excess. Immediately the colony began to prosper, and the result of that prosperity became what we celebrate as Thanksgiving. Why do we not celebrate the whole story, the true capitalist origin of this country?
As the story was told to me, the Indians (Native Americans) helped the pilgrims survive and then were rewarded with all their land being stolen and them forced to live on reservations and start casinos hundreds of years later.
Wow another Obama=Socialist/Marxist thread.
Bush entered office in 2001 with a budget surplus and 5.5 trillion in national debt, now we have a budget defecit and a 9 trillion dollar defecit. Obama isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread but he is way smarter than Bush ever was, and his econmic pollicies so far seem to be in line with actual conservative ideals (if those actual exist anymore). If you knew what a REAL socialist society was you would be spouting idioctic Limbaughism on here. Here is something you may not know:
If you are a republican your party sucks and lies
If you are a democrat your party sucks and lies
They both spend more than they take in and they both lie to the American people on a daily basis, neither party has your interests in mind but they are very good at making you think that they do. Neither party is socialist or facist, they are both slaves to different divisions of corporate America. So stop these stupid rants about Obama and or Bush and wake up. It won't matter in 20 years when China becomes the richest nation on Earth and we go bankrupt when they call in our debts. Try reading what major forces bring down large empires, very rarely is it outside forces (terrorism). The fall of empires usually has to do with internal economic problems (governments spending more than they take in on taxes for long periods of time). Turn off Faux News or MSNBC and read a book.
Back to the main point, I think 2011-2016 will be string hiring years.
The story told to you was overly simplified and revised through our modern, more civilized perspective. It helps to know that mankind in the past was much more barbaric as a whole than today (remember what scalping was?), and that the pursuit of territorial expansion was a common thing, by both whites and native Ameicans. The only reason the invaders won was they had better weapons. Though today we would argue differently, at the time neither side had a moral superiority.As the story was told to me, the Indians (Native Americans) helped the pilgrims survive and then were rewarded with all their land being stolen and them forced to live on reservations and start casinos hundreds of years later.
