You thank the unions for the legislation then say the legislation is
toothless.


50 years ago the unions were powerful. but not today. right wing
mythology destoryed them by lying about the US middle class

If you have ever had OSHA show up at your site you know they are far
from toothless.

let's see...BP kills 15 workers 3 years ago.

consequence? none. a business deductible fine. BFD.

Look up "inflation adjusted" and get back to me. You are also comparing
the entire "middle class" to the wealthiest *1%*!?!?

Your problem is you don't read well and come up with these crazy
knee-jerk responses. You have blinders on and, apparently, they have
been on your whole life.

folks generally do make that complaint when they get bitch slapped


You were "bitch slapped"? You're nuts, dude.

Not if they applied themselves, worked hard, and saved money.

I said, and I know I misspelled a word, that I realize that they can be
liquidated. They are still of not interest to a loan officer as
collateral. I'm quite bright. I have a large 401K/IRA. You,
apparently don't.


so you say. the average 401K is less than 50K.

mine's bigger.

and so is my 401K

I'm far behind you in retirement age yet I have a large 401K/IRA. I
know that bothers you. If you knew how much you might kill yourself.

giving the rich more money COSTS the economy money.



Who is giving the rich money? Obama wants to give the losers *our* money.

correct. because we h ave no choice

but it's time to pass a few bux to the mddle class


So why should the middle class, or anyone, hand over hard earned money
to the losers who choose not to work or get an education?

*Get* to write off losses? Like that's a good thing? Business expenses
are expenses, not income, so they should be deductible.

uh no. you dont understand the difference between an expense and a
loss

Of course I do. You covered both in your lousy statement and I
responded accordingly.

Nope, many of them become lillionaires! And before they are 50...
Only
the portion that is not thinking correctly end up losers and without
raises.

why not check the GINI coefficient? the US has the least social
mobility of 10 western democracies, except for the UK

Because many have lost the American way, trading it in for envy, greed
and entitlement -- which do not work.

Plus, your born much better off than 80% of the world to start with.
In in Afganistan, less than a 50% chance you can read when you are 20.
The room to grow their is high. Bum to Saddam or Obama, sorry, Osama
in a lifetime is real and fewer people to compete with.

more facts to blow your bull**** away.

and those without raises? that's the ENTIRE MIDDLE CLASS

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.co...the-day-6.html



I actually don't entirely disagree with you in that being middle class
is now tougher than ever before. But I disagree with the reason.

Big fat corruptive government is the cause. Track total government
revnue against wages...you will see government outsrips income. And
you can't keep having government grow like a cancer.

At some point, DC will go bankrupt. And Obama will have the dubious
honor of kicking DC past the tipping point.

DC will tip over? Like Guam?

I would look up his constituancy, but at least 50% of the people there
are dumber than nails for voting for jack ass.

What an imbecile. Should give him a drug test.

You never saw that before?
