Who is/are "wall street" you blind idiot?

Wall Street is you and me and everyone else who believes in the
Americano dream. Not a game for the faint of heart though. Or people
who havn't elevated themselves enough to punctuate and capitalize
their screed.

more right wing myth

virtually no middle class americans get their income from wall steet.
that's a right wing myth

I work for a fortune 200 company. They are listed on the NYSE. They deal
with banks and other companies from "Wall Street". My company stock
options account currently has a value of about $250K.

meaningless. your 'analysis' would have every mom and pop business,
every gas station, every fish market be listed on 'wall street'.

the fact is that virtually no americans in the middle class claim
capital gains as income. that's reserved for the richest of the rich,
who've destroyed this country


wall street sucked 10 TRILLION out of the economy and cost 5 million
jobs in the last 3 years

Talk to Barney, Chris, Jimmy and Billy.

sorry sport. it was enabled by phil gramm, republican, and his enron
VP wife who steered a bill through congress, signed by bill clinton,
under the fundamentalist mantra of 'deregulation'.



the american dream is dead. that's a fact. social mobility is better
in SWEDEN than it is in america

It is alive and well for those willing to work.

ah. a reader's digest claim. he believes it so it must be so. but
that's because he's right wing and loves myth. he hates evidence

let's look at evidence, shall we? let's be adults while leavng the
children of the right wing in their cribs:

why not start he

While Americans have an optimistic
faith in the ability of individuals to
get ahead within a lifetime or from
one generation to the next, there
is growing evidence of less intergenerational
economic mobility
in the United States than in many
other rich industrialized countries,
at least according to the relative
mobility measures commonly used
in economic research.

while right wing children like you BELIEVE that social mobility is
great in america, the EVIDENCE shows it's not

but you right wingers...have your thumb sucking myths and wont let
EVIDENCE change your BELIEFS


the reason the right LOVES this myth of the american dream is it
prevents them from having to address the fact the US is a plutocracy

Sounds like a guy who is a poor performer at work. When was the last
time you were promoted?

you have your reader's digest view of reality to keep you warm at
night

i have evidence and reality.


so you have, in a sentence, defined how the right is destroying this
country

You really do need to take a look at the left as hard as you look at the
right.

who's left? i'm a CAPITALIST. you're a PLUTOCRAT. i believe in MERIT.
YOU believe in PRIVILEGE. i believe in ACHIEVEMENT. you believe in
class rights.


the american dream...that the right uses to beat the middle class into
submission

You really need professional psychological help.
