How quickly one forgets who bailed out Wall Street.
You mean China? What that got to do with US's internal parasites?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Loki', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'L')ike most things, it's really a matter of specifics. If your Squire is kind and provides room and board for your labor, doesn't work you or your children too hard, and maybe provides a christmas goose then maybe life's not so bad.
It's funny, I think I may be approaching a neo-feudal situation myself. My "squire" (the farm owner I work for, who happens to be English) is a good guy, he isn't a slavemaster and he provides the best wage he can plus a free place to live and all the veggies I can eat.
No Christmas goose, but I do get free chicken eggs, plus a third of a pig at the end of the season
Maybe feudalism isn't so bad after all....
Just wait on your opinion until he wants the Baron's privilege of the first night with your bride after your wedding!
And keep your fingers crossed he won't emulate Caligula and

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dsula', 'A')h, the socialists. Take it from the doers and give to the slackers.
The 400 richest Americans have more wealth than the lowest 155,000,000. You think that's fantastic, you think those top 400 are the "doers" and deserve everything. Well, I disagree -- I think it's destabilized and wrecked our country and put our national security at risk.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') just read today that 1/2 of the population of my county is on some sort of welfare. AND local farmers need to hire illegal mexicans to get the job done because everybody else is busy collecting the handouts.
Close the borders, enact tariffs, and wages will rise to attract AMERICAN labor. But that's not how you see it, you want Americans to pick your tomatoes for Guatamalan wages.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')h how I'm looking forward to this poor-folks revolution getting rid of the rich who pay for all the hand-outs.
You should look forward to it, since that would mean a return of the nation's wealth to a broad middle class and livable wages for the working class. That makes for a better, more stable society all around.

One word. Bailout.
That is socialism in its purest form-- for selected few, of course, but there is no other kind of socialism. Sorry to break your dreams here.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cid_Yama', 'H')ow quickly we forget who fleeced the entire planet and caused the problem in the first place.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cid_Yama', 'S')urely a force set out to destroy the American people in this manner is an enemy, in this case both "foreign and domestic". Aren't defenders of the Constitution supposed to stand against such enemies? Isn't that part of the oath of office?
Yes, but if the "defenders of the Constitution" are part of that force set out to destroy the American people, they aren't going to do much defending, are they?
You'd think groups like the Constitution Party and the Tea Party would be more upset about the takeover of America by multinational corporations. But they aren't, they actually seem to be defending the multinationals.
very true, there is an active Fifth Column in the United States that is very good at pulling the strings of nearly all elected representatives.
and that Fifth Column is aligned with corporations like Monsanto and has zero allegiance to the working people of America.
but i think a lot of the bread-and-butter Tea Partiers are hip to these observations. guys like Rush Limbaugh, who pretend to speak for the Tea Party, don't.
speaking of the Tea Party, it was not a rebellion against a tax imposed by the English king. it was a rebellion against a tax imposed by the power behind the throne, the English bankers and business interests such as the East India company.
the English King was fat and happy, having sex with the maids and eating pheasant.
the American Revolution is currently taught as a rebellion against the English throne, when in fact it was a rebellion against the power behind the throne.
