Can we infer that you'd prefer an economy of

unionized,
make
work,
government employees who make a living by taxing

each
other?
Without
free enterprise you'd have no incentive for

innovation or
efficiency.
The former Soviet Union found that out the hard

way.


No, Wayne, you cannot infer that, and I'm not

advocating
Sov-style
communism. I am in favor of steps that help rebuild

the
middle
class in
this country, though. I see no point in a country

that
exists
only to
enrich the rich.

====

When you talk about rebuilding the middle class, are

you
really
refering to the unionized working class? Frankly I'd

like to
think
that the days of $80/hour unskilled assembly line

workers are
over.



I am referring to the jobs that provide goodm family
supporting
wages to
working Americans, with either company or government

paid
health
care,
retirement, vacation and similar benefits, because the
concept of
buying those benefits on your own with today's wages

and
livings
costs
is pretty much shot. In fact, in today's greed-driven,
corporate-dominated America, those sorts of jobs are

pretty
much
shot.
And without those jobs, there really is no point to

this
country, is
there? A country that benefits only the rich isn't a

country
worth
having.

You really have it in for working class Americans,

don't you,
Wayne?

No, he has it in for folks who never went to school,

never
got a
skill,
making the same money as a trained and schooled

engineer...


Obviously, neither you nor Wayne have spent much time in
manufacturing
plants where "products" are turned out. Yes, there are

some
really
low-skilled jobs, but most of the workers on the

assembly line
or in
factories have a lot more in the way of
factory/assembly/manufacturing
skills than either you or Wayne.

I have spent time there, and know something about it. For
example,
UAW
assembly line workers perform low skilled, repetitious

jobs that
you
could train a monkey to do. But have huge compensation

packages
that
very few enjoy. You really can't defend that.

Everybody wants the PS3 with a big screen, Suburban in

the
driveway,
all the premium channels on cable with PPV football on

the
weekends,
take the 3 kids to Vegas and Disney twice a year, and

all on a C
average high school education. The middle class

union-driven
greed
took down middle class in American.


You're an ignorant class warrior as well as a racist.

What a
surprise.

you are a stooge...


Whatever you think I am, little toad, I have managed my

life fairly
well. I managed to get a decent education, managed to get

and hold
decent jobs, managed to get my kids through higher ed,

managed to
obtain
and hold onto health insurance, managed to run a profitable

business
for
several decades without engaging in intellectual property

theft,
managed
to set up and maintain a good retirement, managed to help

my wife
through graduate school and a doctoral program, and managed

to put
away
some bucks for a rainy day.

If memory serves, you haven't managed so well. Do you think

your
failures have anything to do with your "stoogeship" on Fox

News?

And...you were the first person here to say, "Self-praise

sucks."

Good job, Harry.

Bull**** stories suck even more.. But harry is the king..

What are your accomplishments? No career, no job, a hippie

daughter and
another who for whatever reasons, probably not of her making,

isn't
winning the races you need to get real $ponsorShip so you can

live off
that?


You don't know ****. What are your accomplishments, being

****ed by your
drunken father, forcing yourself on little girls and boys,

hiding in
your basement, and spending your inheritance???


Actually, no, little toady. None of your "fantasies" about me

have any
connection to reality.


Sorry stooge, everyone here has heard your fantasies for years,
fantasies about little boys and girls seem to dominate your

pedophile
lifestyle....





There is a guy here who spent a lot of time on the weekends in a

tent
with an underaged girl. Forgot his handle...do you recall it?


I recall the convicted sexual preditor named Krause who lived in
Florida and has since moved to Maryland .
