gotta luv the nonsense that comes from you, whenever you're wrong you introduce something new to deflect from your failure. Reading wingnut talking points and assuming they are telling you the truth is one thing, understanding Wealth, Income and Power and how those things interact to affect people at ALL rungs of the ladder is another thing. You haven't reached the latter.

again, if i give the $50,000 to my workers instead of giving it to the investors, the investors get ZERO. explain how that isn't taking potential income from one group to give to another...

for someone so sure of themselves, so determined they know the difference between income and wealth, why are you now talking about wealth. my example of who i give income to is all about income????

did you bother with the article, Wealth, Income and Power? didn't think so, it shows.

Here, lets blow your argument out of the water, during periods of recession, like the one we are in, where did the wealth go? According to you, it must go to someone, so tell me where it is. And during years of economic boom, say during the late Clinton years, where did the wealth come from? Validate you know what the hell you are talking about by answering these 2 simple questions.

Failure? The only failure here is your poor post. Should you feel something is a failure, then you can feel free to explain why. When you do, feel free to discuss how he inherited the worst recession in 100 years. There's certainly some points you could potentially make, but you didn't. Calling something a failure and giving no explanation is akin to someone just calling your post dumb without giving any explanation.

Default Moving to NC

Great day to you! I have been teaching for 23 years in Illinois, with a BA and two MA one in Administration. I also speak two languages. I am looking to escape the very cold weather and have decided to move to NC. My biggest fear is not knowing how to star or where to go in NC. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I'd really like to know how you arrived at the conclusion that Pres. Obama is bent on destroying our way of life? How is he a Socialist? How is he radical? How has your life changed? What policies of this president are making your life worse? Explain and discuss.

As for class warfare, the GOP has been waging class warfare against the middle-class for 30 years (and winning.) It's just that when anyone whose gotten the shaft for 30 years stands up and objects, that's when your side yells 'class warfare.' What is this 'class warfare' -- asking the rich to pay a couple of p% more in taxes? That's hardly radical.

EDIT: based upon your spelling and pros, I would venture that you are not part of the top 1%. I can understand why a rich person would defend their interests to avoid paying more taxes but what's your dog in the fight? Why are you defending keeping the richest people in America paying lower taxes than those who earn far less?

It's clear why those at the top want to indoctrinate people like you with this 'class warfare' nonsense. The idea that rich people should pay a lower-rate than the middle-class is indefensible. Therefore, the only way they can deflect from an indefensible position is to distract the masses with a catchy slogan.

Now stop following the shiny object.

Why didnt you answer the question buzz? Lets try this again, where did the wealth go when the recession hits?

If you say wealth is finite, and cant exist without taking it from someone else, then during recessions, this means someone obtained that wealth. Were did it go?

If ones home is worth $100K, and over the next decade it grows to $150K in value, according to your argument, this $50K growth cant exist without taking it from someone else. Tell me who lost that $50K buzz?

Nope, that is nothing more than far right-wing looney bin rhetoric, maybe you will do better next time, or maybe not.

Looks to me like the republicans are the ones who failed the American people.
As they have for most of the last century.

You can't united, those that hated you from day one.
Didn't matter what he did or said (or didn't do or say).
The hate from some preceded him and his existence.
