You just figuratively killed the messenger by rejecting out of hand John Mackey's ideas because I labeled him progressive. since i'm a progressive, it's unlikely your explanation is correct, isn't it? what i rejected was the CONTENT of his message...a fact you find hard to comprehend. How stupid can that be? Did you even read what he had to say? His ideas are largely free-market and workable proposals. Don't confuse you with the facts, your mind is made up, *just like the Dims in Washington on Capitol Hill and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. as opposed to the great success your friend at the same address had for the last 8 years. you seem unaware of the fact the stock market was at 14000 last year and is at 9000 how. grow up |

There's no sense in wasting your time and energy, Lu. He is nothing but empty rhetoric. Most Progressive's lack compassion, a genuine sense of history, and intellectual honesty. They not doubt like to think better of themselves; but, then only a person that IS willing to be intellectually honest will examine the flaws in their own reasoning. That's why there is such a flurry of informal fallacies coming from the left, and when that fact is spoken to, the discussion simply goes somewhere else in true red herring fashion. They do love the their Leviathon. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

. *The strongest national economy in the history of the modern world. *The most affluent middle-class in modern history. which hasn't had a pay increase in 30 years. "Finally, the Census Bureau approach ignores several sources of income--benefits and transfers--that have grown significantly. When all of these pieces are out together, the data suggest that median Census income per person has risen by 50% over the past 30 years--not 18%." [...] "Admittedly, this is a touchy issue to write about at a time when millions of our fellow citizens are out of work and facing dim prospects for the future. But doesn't it seem as though good public policy (on trade, immigration and transfers, to name a few) depends on getting the facts right?" http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/30/mid...ts-cooley.html -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

. *The strongest national economy in the history of the modern world. *The most affluent middle-class in modern history. which hasn't had a pay increase in 30 years. Now, does the claim that the middle-class hasn't had a pay increase in 30 years, not that the phrase is itself meaningful in any macroeconomic sense, refute the statement that the U.S. has had the the most affluent middle-class in modern history, or is it an attempt to dodge contesting that fact? -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
