I think she's worth reading... at least one of the the books. As long as you

Bedwetters? You must be referring to the beneficiaries of our public
largess, the guys at Goldman Sachs and BP.

I heard they're hurting because they'll have trouble getting new sails

There are no complicated concepts in Rand's books. The books are
long-winded, but they're pretty straightforward. They're fiction, but the
neocons used them as a blueprint for wrecking the US economy. They haven't

I'd be interested in hearing about exactly what you think the so
called "neocons" did to wreck the US economy. The war in Iraq was
ill advised and increased debt but hardly wrecked the economy. The
deregulation of Wall Street was already well along under the Clinton
administration. Relaxation of mortgage lending standards began in
the Clinton administration. What else?

Oh come on Wayne... the neocons stated objective is to destroy the middle
class and the economy in general, and gut social programs to promote their
ill-advised, Ayn Rand-like philosophy of the free market uber alles. Do your
own research or get your head out of the sand? Where have you been for the

and counting. Ill advised? How about criminally negligent. If you want to

When the concepts implied in the writings were in place, the U.S. was
growing exponentially, uneducated millions were making good wages and all
were successful. Now (since the 70's) handouts from the productive minority
(who are now gone) have taken priority, and the masses have to move back to
concrete housing complexes.

Productivity and profit are the goals (your wages are YOUR profit) but
they're undermined by the slime you've elected. No more handouts due to

Productivity has nothing to do (usually) with labor hours. Automation and
imported materials (such as in the autos you buy) decrease costs; cost has
nothing to do with price, productivity increases as prices remain the same
or increase with the lower cost or labor consumption. Less resources are
used during output, revenue is maintained and profits increase. Increased
productivity has nothing to do with factory rats working harder. In fact,
technology and imports made labor irrelevant.

you're missing the point, as usual. you keep pretending the middle

you're missing the point, as usual. you keep pretending the middle
class should reap NO benefits at all from the economy, save slave
labor wages.


OK, I agree with you - your elected government should control your wages -
how much should you be paid? How much should you pay for an automobile, a
toaster, cheap wine and lottery tickets?


uh no. the govt has been gutted WRT worker rights. few countries in
the western world are as anti-labor as the US.

companies and their stockholders control wages. stockholders aren't
middle class.

You've been touting "the government" to control wages and "get" you a raise.
Employers control wages, based on supply and demand. If it's not the
company, and not the government, then who? C'mon, it's your premise.

uh no. i've been touting regulating the market so that CDO's and other
economy destroying instruments aren't possible. i've been touting tax
increases for the rich who've seen their incomes skyrocket. i have
been touting better regulation of union busting policies that
companies use to destroy middle class bargaining

IF the middle class had SOME power we'd be better off

you simply don't understand how the economy works

Employers control wages, based on supply and demand.


no, they dont. they control wages based on how much they want to pay
their CEO and rich stockholders. the proof of this is that's where
all the money went in the last 40 years

your right wing bull**** and mythology doesn't stand up to the
evidence

Perhaps you are misinterpreting?



I guess you never heard of the neocons who were running this country for
the
last couple of decades? Their stated plan is to bankrupt the federal
government and make over the country based on their twisted notion of
free

market uber alles.


You were correct - he gets this kind of rant from the idiot box. This is
what happens when you have no useful skills or education.


Seems to me that Wayne is a lot smarter than you, and he has a lot more
skill in his pinky finger than you do in your entire body.
