You look so religious when you say things like this. Your faith is so strong you feel good about making a statement like 100% wrong!!. First, you will never hear an economist say they are 100% positive about anything unless they write for the times and second, you will not find your magical...

I credit the stimulus and the Federal Reserve giving away free money for giving the illusion of a recovery. We've done this by kicking the can down the road, not by fixing the cause. What he have now is not a recovery just because the data we choose to pick says it is. Less people are working...

Theft is the transference of wealth, not the creation. Wealth created without labor is either through discovery or artificial. The Fed creates wealth out of thin air, my beanie baby that came with a happy meal was created by labor, making it worth 1000 dollars had nothing to do with labor, that...

tty, this is nothing but a faith based statement with no basis in reality. Throughout history there has always been recessions followed by a recovery. The deeper the recession, the the sharper the recovery, this is the way it's always worked except for two instances. The two instances that had...

Why? They weren't found guilty of anything. That's the logic you were throwing around earlier, when it comes back at you it's a strawman? WP cheezy wp.

Aren't most of those apprenticeships paid positions? You can't say that about an Art Appreciation major. Journeyman is also a union designation that doesn't have the same weight in non-union states. Of course the pay is going to be much higher where it does matter. I get your point too though...

Taxes are not unethical, it's how we pay for shit, don't put words in mouth. I think INCOME tax is counter-productive and unethical the way we use them for social engineering, big difference, learn the difference and you'll be better off for it. Again, we competed on a level playing field in...

You sure do talk about me a lot. I'm enjoying living in your head rent free.

First I need to get this out of the way. I find your position that someone else "owes" you part of their money to be unethical. Not to mention just icky. OK, having gotten that out of the way... Again, then I should be able to use our high government spending today as proof that it DOES limit...

Oooo I Know!! It leaves the American people with less buying power! Tell him what he won!!

Damn pad, I can't believe I have to explain this to you... You were using the higher taxes during a period of prosperity as proof that it was a causation. I sarcastically used lower government spending as the same proof trying to show the idiocy of either claim. So an executive working for a...

They had jobs rebuilding their manufacturing bases. We had jobs exporting shit until they caught up. They've caught up. You need a source that government spending in the 50's was lower..... If the company is not a US company anymore, they can still do business here right? If not, then shit...

What happens to those jobs? You do realize every single one of them were given tax breaks to come here, because we realized having good paying jobs was better for the overall health of the country than those foreign companies staying overseas because of our tax policy. How are you creating...

The 50's followed a time after we had blown manufacturing bases up in Europe which eliminated a lot of the competition. Overseas transport was much more cost prohibitive. Government spending in the 50's was a fraction of what spending was today and the country thrived!! See how that works...

Sorry about double quoting the same post, but had another question. How do we handle companies like Kia, Toyota, Mercedes, Honda that are all foreign companies but have some of the best unskilled jobs in OUR country? Do we use different rules for foreign companies operating here than we do US...

What would stop Microsoft from being a Belgium company selling to the US? Each company will do a cost analysis. Do we move completely out of the country so we can go somewhere with lower taxes and have the entire world to deal in, or do we stay in the US under some of the highest corporate...

I wish I could borrow a million from my family.... I give him props for turning a million into a billion though. I know a few who turned a million into nothing.

Most doctors and pretty much all surgeons fall in that 1%. If we raise the tax on the "rich", they are lumped in with that group. Someone making a 100 million SHOULD pay more, but they don't, and they won't even if you raise payroll tax. Here's an easy solution, if your income is solely from...

As long as we realize education can include how to weld or wire a house too we should be fine. It's the thought that only learning who said what when qualifies as education that doesn't help. We are marginalizing trade schools and that's a big mistake. Learn how to weld in 6 months to make 50k a...

Just because the committee didn't crucify anyone doesn't absolve guilt of ethical misconduct. See Clinton destroying public evidence, Wall Street and Iran-Contra as proof these people protect their own.
