Anthony Johnson was the first non-endured slave holder in America. He was black.
Johnson bought five indentured servants (four of whom were white -- the other was his own son) in order to be qualified to receive 250 acres of land under the headright system laws applicable at the time in Northampton County, a part of the Virginia Eastern Shore. One of his indentures would later become a slave by court order after Johnson refused to release him at the end of his indenture. The gentleman simply left and agreed to a contract of indenture with a landowner down the road. He was ultimately returned by the courts to Johnson under a sentence of servitude for life, i.e., slavery.
How any of this would serve to dilute the racism of the TEA Party is not clear.
'The recession ended in 2009.' Heard that on the news a few nights ago. LMAO.
Recessions relate to the national economy, not to that of upstate New York. Official determinations regarding the timing of recessions are made by the private National Bureau of Economic Research, and in their judgment, the last one did indeed begin in December 2007 and ended in June 2009. Those are simply the facts. By the way, the end of a recession is the point at which things stop getting worse. It is not the point at which things are "all better again". Depending on the severity of the recesssion, it can take quite a long period of expansion to reach the point of "all better again".
People that are strongly in support of one political party have clear, open minds.
It is entirely possible these days that a clear and open mind will lead one to reject virtually everything that one of the political parties says and stands for. Under such circsumstances, any party that says and stands for anything at all that is worthwhile or credible becomes preferable.
Ummm ... no, it ROTATEs on it's axis and REVOLVEs around the sun. Look it up.
I guess I just owned myself. I was thinking revolve as in a wheel or CD revolving, (revolutions per minute). Really there is no difference between the terms. put a straight line of objects in orbit and you get a rotation of the object formed from that line of objects.
Is this fact or conjecture? The latter. The wealthy spend slowly...by whose standards?
By the standards of everyone else. The higher on the income scale you go, the lower the velocity of money and marginal propensity to consume become. And this fact by the way is about as commonly accepted in actual economics as supply and demand. You seem simply to be one of those left entirely outside the loop of actual economics.

Virtually all rational analysis has agreed that taxation of the rich would provide the most bang-for-the-buck by returning lots of fiscal benefit while imposing relatively little national income cost. You could (but of course won't) start with CBO and work your way across the rest of the competent universe.

Ayn Rand had the first clue of what she was talking about.
A "living wage" is good for the economy and taxing the wealthy is the solution to economic problems.
