My thoughts exactly. Ever read "Atlas Shrugged".
When the productive people finally get their belly full they can simply convert their wealth into non taxable tangible wealth and retire. They can then let the whole corrupt system burn down and rebuild a new society from the ashes.
Since you enjoyed that fairy tale so much, perhaps you would also be interested in,
The Night Before Christmas and other cool stuff...Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc.
People who want to make a load of money will always step forward to take the place of the people who throw a temper tantrum.
Now, I do believe the tax burden sucks for those who end up paying it, but the stuff Rand spoke of is just stupid. If there ever was a "Galt's Gulch," rest assured, other people would step forward to take their place, to make the money they turned their nose up at.
Sorry if this sounds cold hearted, but what the socialist are trying to turn us into dairy cows to be tied up and milked.
So are authoritarian conservatives and libertarians at times.
Well, obviously, the government is directly responsible for our jobs going overseas. Their over-taxation and over-regulation of business in the USA has caused those jobs to leave.
That's the refrain but that doesn't make it so. We could take away the over-regulation and kill a lot of workers, screw them out of workman's compensation and a host of other things and cut the taxes incredibly low and they would still stay overseas because they have a taste of that sweet thing called "slave labor."
They are never coming back unless you give them the choice, "Come back or be banished from the United States forever."
That's what should be done.
So, to get the jobs back, the socialists need to lower taxes, lower regulation, and get rid of the minimum wage.
Let's bring back child labor, too. And let's block fire exits and/or chain them shut so the slaves can't leave the floor, too. Let's not care what a company dumps in that local stream, pond, creek or lake. Let's not care what happens, business will take care of itself, business will always do what is in its best interest and that of the surrounding community, you know, just like is happening now in the Gulf of Mexico! The TransOcean Rig was apparently manufactured in The Marshall Islands, not up to our standards...multi-billion dollar corporations saving cents compared to the destruction they unleash. No sir, we have had enough of that.
Minimum wage?
What planet are you on?
Let the market determine wages and allow our companies to compete with other countries on taxation and regulation.
Oh no, we already played that game buddy! The labor market decided that they didn't want to work at nasty jobs for little pay under bad conditions and the employers BROKE THE LAW and IMPORTED SLAVES in the form of ILLEGAL ALIENS. YOUR WAY DOESN'T WORK! The market did decide, the wages should have went up, but they did not and the wonderful wealthy BROKE THE LAW and they should be imprisoned for doing so and damaging their country.
There are no "jobs Americans won't do." There are wages they won't work for and conditions they won't work under.
The market decided, finally, and then the market was screwed.
We also need to cut off all the entitlements so that people have an incentive to work instead of sitting home all day in their Section 8 house watching Judge Judy on their big screen tv and waiting for their welfare or SSDI check!
Yeah, let's give it all to the multi-million and multi-billion dollar corporations, they need it more!
The USA definitely needs an enema in the form of deporting all the socialists and stopping all the entitlements. It's time to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
If everything you cited is your idea of taking the country back, you would just be taking it back for wealthy people and enslaving your fellow Citizens, I'm sorry, I would rather this country fall and perish and vanish from the face of the planet forever if that would be the case.
Sooo, let me see if I understand this. Every dollar the private banking cartel known as the "Federal Reserve" makes is actually a dollar of debt for me, my forebears and my descendants. To make this even better the Federal Government spends in a manner that no self respecting drunken sailor would ever even consider; creating more debt than the world has ever seen in its entire recorded history. And now I am supposed to sign on and ditto for my children and generations yet unborn to pay this off?
WTF!
Yeah, that about sums it up.
This cannot be paid off. It was intended to be impossible to pay off. The last thing the company store wants is for its slaves/debtors to be able to pay them off and tell them to go to hell.
This is slavery of the banks plain and simple. It was what Jefferson and Jackson warned about. It is here today folks. Time to hit the reset button because sooner or later someone will and every day we wait only makes it worse.
But right in this very forum about three months ago, I said the very same thing about credit card companies purposely designing schemes to trap people in a debt cycle and the response was, "You signed the contract." So, I guess they feel the same about this, "They popped out of the vagina here in this country," same as signing the contract.
The working/middle-class are struggling, but the rich didn't pay their fair share -- even though they run the US Govt. It's their debt.
They never pay their fair share.
Some of you might call them socialists, I'll call them the private elite that attend the Ivy League and spend money that isn't theirs. In doing so, they enrich the pocketbooks of friends and those who got them selected to office. If cronyism = socialism to you guys, I guess I'm fine with that even though you've got your terminology messed up.
Some of the people in this thread envision a United States that I would not want to live in. They won't get it, though. The People are on to them as they are on to the rest of the scams. That "Patriot" up there, he's just another looter griping about the little people who receive NOTHING compared to what corporations and foreign governments receive.
