Why do people in the over-developed world believe the advertising that everyone must have obvious affluence no matter their life's station?

Say what you will but we need to ban all advertising from all media. It makes for lunatic assumptions and only dullards that watch the upteen BBC channels and PBS would be left to stare at the idiot soapbox to be filled with lies and more commercials or deadpan infotainment. The web might then be what it should have been.

Would that really be a tragic thing beyond the loss of employments in all media outlets from lack of funds?

(Hmm, I forgot I blocked out all the ads in my browser. I might get banned...)

Thank you. Great post.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

The problem is a lack of Presidential leadership. Both Clinton and Reagan were able to lead and work twords compromise to grow their economies . This clown is on vacation or p[ointing fingers trying place the blame on everyone except for the leader of the free world. It wont work, most of the Bush Tax cuts were aimed at the Middle Class and when bozo hiuessien lets them expire he will face a wrath the likes of which even his protector the MSM cant cover up.

Did you mean to post here? This is just random and seems like a mistake one would make if suffering from some sort of mind alteration?

and you complain about not making enough money, but did you take advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves to you? have you taken the bigger risks to make more money? have you stepped up to the plate and showed your bosses that you can handle more responsibility? have you asked your bosses to move you up in the company? have you looked at taking a job at another company where you could move up faster? have you considered starting your own business? my point is that there are always opportunities to move up in life as far as you want to go, BUT YOU have to be willing to take the steps needed to do so, your bosses arent going to come to you and say, "Z you have done such a good job that we want to offer you a supervisor position at increased pay". YOU have to take that first step and tell the bosses that you want to move up.
Advancement under right wing minded management means they can treat you worst of all. I know. I live it. Its not the place thats the problem its the Republicans who on a personal level are at war with workers in general. More hours with lower pay and no quality of life is the dream the GOP has for America. No doubt.

Believe me, I get why you are pissed. I am, too.

But you need to stop and realize that each an every politician since the Nixon era has failed you. Being mad at the republicans is still leaving out half the equation.

In other words, let's sink the whole ship on purpose in hopes that everyone we don't like drowns.

That's just stupid!

That is exactly the approach the Dems are taking. They want to go over the cliff because they believe all blame will fall on the GOP. If the Dems are the ones who actually want to go over the cliff, clearly they are willing to damage or even destroy the country just to silence all opinions they don't like hearing. Odds are, the media will save them from electoral justice, but everyone thinking like this is insane!
