Those comments are without substance. Do you have a solution to the
demise
of the U.S? What is it? More help from "the government?"


yeah. strengthen unions.


You need evil corporations to have unions


gee...corporations just trashed the economy. you were saying?


Next dumb idea?

increase taxes on the wealthy.

That was quick

40% + state, massive welfare taxes and everything else - what should be
maximum? 75%?


really? they pay 15% if that. you ever hear of 'capital gains taxes'??
you seem not to know what taxes are.

the middle class, OTOH, pays through the ass to support your rich
friends.


regulate the
banks and financial institutions to prevent their raping of the
economy.


Regulate congress so they can't force the private sector to fail and hand
YOU the bill.


uh...the banks were UNREGULATED....how'd that work out? we doing OK?

enter into worldwide labor agreements to ensure all workers
are at equal purchasing power parity, including healthcare,


"Health care" (actually health insurance) is a fringe beneit


hmmm...so you say. more right wing bull****


so that we
dont engage in a race to the bottom.


You're winning the race, and the final crash will be ugly if you stay where
you are. You'll get used to it - they don't even notice how they live in
Haiti - they think it's "normal," you will too.


yeah courtesy of you right wingers who tell us how good the rich are
to us
