Can someone here tell me how they got so organized and where they got the money to print that newspaper they are passing around? Somehow I don't see how all those unemployed kids with all that debt bought a printing press that could print in 4 colors.

They sell an excellent color laser printer at OfficeMax, on sale it is around $199.00. It'll produce somewhere around 75,000 copies per month.

Apple does not pay dividents. Just FYI. And most of Apple manufacturing transferred overseas during "conservetive" era. Are conservetives now offering US manufactureres that they will find Americans who will work for them for 50 cents an hour?

Apple doesn't pay dividends it grows in value and reinvested its cash. What percentage of it payroll is from the US or how much of its investment helped the US I do not know.

How do you equate success and reasoning for continuing a decades long war on drugs that has done little to nothing to stop drugs from being gotten hold of and used? But it does finance government and certain private enterprise, and the GOP and DNC establishment both want to continue the same plan for a war on drugs for the most part.. Same with the war on terrorism. Same with American companies profiting at the top by dropping American jobs for personal benefit. When will you ever hear about a CEO job being out sourced? You probably won't because the top protect themselves at the expense of others sometimes.


And the want for power and to control is something that can happen to either party or group of people or individual. There are people in places of high influence with lots of money who do and want to pull the strings, be they in wall street or government.

So I don't see how this is a liberal or conservative thing, this is just demanding ethics and having a open eye to the dangers of corruption.

The regulations and trade agreements were signed by Clinton prior regardless of the era in which the moves were made. Jobs had a company to save from the brink of bankrupcy when he returned in 1997.

If Progressives cared for the middle class the far left would have vetoed and protested back then, not waiting until they reaped the consequences of that which they had sown decades prior.

kirdik, I meant that yes I'm supporting them, as in paying their way. But not by choice.
