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, and the purchasing assholes and
congress have already driven them out of the former U.S.

Next dumb idea?

increase taxes on the wealthy.

That was quick

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

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. "The government" didn't bail out anybody - you did. Get your
thank you card? Or a rate increase??

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, now decimated
because evil corporations had to get while the going was good. Your fringe
benefit of medical insurance" won't be paid for by the foreign producers of
the autos and other imported junk you buy.

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.
