History of the labor market (China - TriasWiki)
2005 - 2010 According to China’s official statistics, the poverty rate fell from 53% in 1981 to 2.5% in 2005.[1] China is now a significant member in the world economy, and its role in world trade has steadily grown. International trade was a major driving force for economic growth. From 1990 – 2004 China’s economy grew at an average rate of 10% per year – the highest growth rate in the world. mid 2010 China had become the second largest economy in the world. Some economist predict that by 2020 China could have the largest economy in the world, bypassing the now, number one.

This is what Wealthy American Businesses has done for the Communist. Made them so much more stronger while we have become weak . The Wealthy have become richer, the Communist have become more powerful. Do they owe us at least what they have done for poor Communist farmers?

The conservatives owe their obedience and loyalty to the rich, They do that very well. And sometimes they even get a nice pat on the head and an extra doggie biscuit.
The conservatives are angry that everyone doesn't get on his/her knees.

I take good care of my property.

I pay my taxes.

I recycle.

I live and let live.

I am a productive member of society.

I have yet to hear what the recipient class is responsible for.

I think its funny that people want to steal more money from me... I have a million dollars in debt... I offer to pay more taxes if they pay off my debts... now keep in mind, I will never in my lifetime pay a million dollars from income taxes... would you liberals care to make it a deal? Or would you rather take more money away from me while I try to pay my loans?

Not sure that between the long hours working for $1 a hour and the few hours sleep they get, they would have time to be questioned by their new overlords..... the America corporations and companies.
You seem not to understand that American production and even phone customer service is being taken from the hard working poorer Americans with the result of less jobs and less production and profits here. America must bring back industry to the USA as the only thing we now do is have speculators, banks, insurance companies etc making money here.... we all saw where that led us. So yes i agree the "ignorance is astounding!" but not from me ......

I don't want money given to me, I want people who use functions of the government to help pay for them and not get off the hook because they can afford to bribe, I mean give a campaign contribution to their legislators.

LOL, just look at the threads (two on the front page of this forum right now, I believe) about how the poor don't pay enough taxes; one even claiming that because of this perceived situation, they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

So what if they have? Is that wrong?



Overprivileged? Do you know what they went through to get where they are?
Do you? Do tell us!
