“He also wanted to impose the cap and trade laws and now wants to raise taxes which while he says will be only for those over $250k will I believe somehow trickle down to anyone making over $50k.”

He made a campaign pledge that he would repeal the Bush tax cuts, which were never paid for and are contributing to the deficit, on those making over 250K. He still is saying the same thing. Now you can imagine that will apply to those making 50K, but that has never been suggested and will not happen. That is suspicion and innuendo and nothing more.

You are aware that Obama passed a massive tax cut in the stimulus bill? 40% of that 700 stimulus Billion bill was in the form of tax cuts. He also carried forward the Bush tax cuts on those making under 250K. So Obama has and will cut taxes as much as Bush did.

If you don’t think the healthcare companies need to be better regulated than you are blind to the healthcare crisis taking place in the country.

The facts do not support that Obama is any more or less of a socialist then Bush. The fact is that the term is a scare tactic devised and used by the GOP and Fox News.

Eventually made it to Utah. And caught the end of the game. Wow. Not much snow here but conditions are supposed to be good. We’ll see. I’m thinking that tune-up on the ice of VT will come in handy.

Grew up in one. Hate just transfers across socio-economic and class lines.

Humans will always search for a way to differentiate themselves and self-select their group.

First, the end of any chance McCain had of winning was with his support of the bank bailout. That and the lady with glasses who was only worth something when oil was north of $100.

I think Obama’s a socialist because his focus this year has been to increase government control of our lives by taking over health care at the expense of the “evil” insurance companies as Pelosi said. He also wanted to impose the cap and trade laws and now wants to raise taxes which while he says will be only for those over $250k will I believe somehow trickle down to anyone making over $50k. When Obama initiates policies that discuss less government control of our finances and our daily activities, I can drop the socialist label.

Bush at least lowered tax rates to give more dollars back to the people and tried to have people have more control and direction over their retirement funds which was shot down in 2005. Please don’t make me defend Bush any more than that but the question is why is Obama a socialist while Bush isn’t

“There has to be some middle ground”

That is what is really lacking here and I’m close to calling it a day. .

or no one cares about math and science in the schools.

That’s why all the Chinese you see in the US are Cantonese or from Shanghai. At the very least, they are from rice-producing areas.

Chinese from grain-dependent areas, such as Mongolia, are the “failures”. Totally different society.

Gladwell handles this topic well in Outliers.

I’m pretty sure I called for your execution. If not, I’ll do so now.

they already did something about it.
There are nice little tests and things of that nature to get into the country. basically, you have to be smart and they leave the dumb ones back in their country of origin.

so when someone says to me, why are all these Chinese or asians so smart… i say easy…. you just dont see the dumb ones, US only imports the smart ones.

here is a little inside scoop.

this is a PR script. There is a building movement against CEOs and CEO & boards of directors mass looting up companies.

This PR show is done to make CEO look “cool” or “a nice guy” “one of us” mentality.

don’t fall for this Jedi mind trick. Its a PR stunt.

Its like in the 80s, CEO were doing one step away from a mass raping of people.

so, what did they do? they got stool pigeons like Lee Iacocca, and all these wanna be management type books.
they started doing PR as to make people want to be managers. market as success, the cats meow.

meanwhile, they broke up unions, drove down wages, moved jobs offshore, deskilled labor, and made you think cheap was a good buy… and now you don’t know qulaity of it hit you between the eyes.
