What if socialists designed airplanes...

That's why its always "Washington National" and not ronald reagan.

YeOldeProp.......I agree 100%. One of the best posts I've seen here! I have been saying this for years. You want change, you'll need to change Congress first. Some of them have been serving Bullsh!t for 30 or 40 years while a member of the House or Senate and people keep voting for them.

Yes it was just wonderful to be an American under Reagan just ask any air traffic controller.

I still feel sorry for those guys, but then, what part of "prohibited from strike by federal law" did they not understand? Their union over-reached, and got b*tch-slapped for it. We get ourselves into big trouble every time we choose to set aside our own laws. The Gipper actually had the cajones to enforce the law, despite the consequences.

and the worst part is that fellow airline pilots who consider themselves rational educated people actually voted for this.

Cant wait for some "stupid bush" comment like i hear from my mother in law daily

Read my signature. He earned it.

Yours is also a great post. It's obvious that the system of immediately trying to get re-elected corrupts most of them in short order. How about this: term limits, ONE TERM MAX. Then we'll see who's on the people's side!

Ever wonder what things would be like if the current people trying to "redesign our country" were put in charge of redesigning airplanes? Here's how it might go:

Socialist: "It's not fair that Boeings get to hold more fuel than Bombardiers. Effective immediately, all Boeings will be limited to holding no more than 20,000 lbs of fuel."

Capitalist: "But then Boeings would have to fly shorter distances, or carry fewer people."

Socialist: "20,000 lbs of fuel is plenty. They don't need more to fly. They'll be just fine without the extra. In fact, all extra fuel that would have been put on Boeings will be put on the RJs, just to make it fair."

Capitalist: "But then the RJs will be wasteful and inefficient, if you just load them up with free fuel."

Socialist: "It's called shared sacrifice. We're all in this together."

I love this "change you can believe in." Definitely would work out better.

What?

 

[JustaNumber]

What?

It's called a metaphor. You can learn about those when you get an education. Don't worry, though. It's never too late to go back to school!

One of the best times to be an American was under Reagans rule.

That American flag you have wrap around your head is blinding you.

Wouldn't a better question be "What if socialists ran the country..."

too late...they are taking over.

I agree with that as well. The problem is that Congress would have to impose term limits on themselves and we all know how that would go.

Another stupid thing: Congress has like, what, 90% disapproval rating? But, when people are polled about their own Rep or Senators they say they are great and it is always the other ones that are bad. WTF! I am on the other side though as I think both my Rep and Senators are the worst there can be.

Didn't the stock market decline for the first 18 months of Reagans presedency?

Did he not create a large national debt?

Did Bush's tax cuts ever actually create an economic boom? In retrospect, the economy grew from the housing bouble. It also collapsed. So it was all fake growth. Another trickle down failure.

But at least he was able to get all of our wages and benefits reduced. And he got rid of those pesky pension thingy's. I guess he was good for something.

Get real. He handed Obama an aircraft in a nose dive at 400 knots, 10k FPM descent, 10 feet off the ground, with the wings broken off, and then said to Barack "your controls".

And now it is the new presidents fault according to the radio retards.

You've only scratched the surface with all the inconvenient truths. Too many types here are engrossed with watching faux news (fake, biased, covered-up) to acknowledge anything else.

The real radio retards are the radio retard's following.

Airline passengers pay over 30 percent of their ticket price to taxes.

Rich people pay on average 3 percent taxes when they fly from PBI to HPN. In their private aircraft.

FACT

If that's your idea of capitalism I'll take something else. The fact is this is not capitalism it is a regressive tax system. We need fairness. That is what OBAMA is bringing. It ain't perfect but it is a lot better than having the top one percent own 90 percent of this country. The Bush system we got now is unamerican.

I wany to see your #'s! Where did you get those "FACTS" ?? For a typical 2 hour trip in our CORP aircraft the operating cost is $2000/hr. The boss has to pay TAXES for his use (he ownes it) up to $1000/trip. You are a Dunbocrat nutjob if you actually believe the rich are not soaked to the bone in taxes!!

Also, Bernie Madoff was and is a huge liberal!

JEEEZUS!! Do you hear yourself? The housing buble is DIRECTLY connected to Barney Frank through Freddie Mac and Fannie May. Didn't soneone with the initials GWB and his staff fo to the Senate Housing Committee, chaired by Barney Frank, and say we were heading down the wrong road with subprime lending? And Chris Dodd and Barney told them to shove off and that everything was under control?

Anyway, Clinton is looked at as the MODEL for fiscal responsibility. The 90's were great! What about the Tech Bubble, 2 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, Embassy Bombings, and a Warship nearly lost.

Now, the CHINESE, that's right, the Communist, Socialist, Red Chinese are realizing something that Regan knew a long time ago. They are DOING AWAY WITH CAPITAL GAINS! That's right, no capital gains tax on any short ao long term investments. They are going to come out of this global recession because money will be flowing into their economy from everywhere! They will buy all our debt, and we will be screwed!

Yes, I blame Obama and his WAR ON THE RICH (if you consider anyone making more than $250K rich)

9000 earmarks was a good start for they guy who ran his campaign on doing away with earmarks.

Really, $780 Billion dollars that are "supposed" to create 3 million jobs in the next 2 years. You do the math!!
