At least some Americans want to stop the bleeding. Some of you, yes some of you Democrats, and yes some of you Republicans, are playing the partisan fiddle and in doing so allowing the financial independence of future generations go down the drain.



I'll tell you this Chucksnee. You said you spent 20 years in the army. I saw my 1st live fire at 15 and been in the business community for nearly 10. The "Economy" has been effed up for certain parts of the population and its just now becoming an issue for other portions of the population.

Some people are giving back. Some people are doing nothing. I'm giving back.

Can't be caught doing anything meaningful or productive.
Yep, the first sign of a job application, and OWS is scattering like the wind....

I don't know ANYBODY who does that. I have friends all across the country. I don't know anybody who bounces from latest cell phone to cell phone. Not anyone out of high school.



I don't know where your perspective comes from.

I can agree with this, people always have to have the latest and greatest...

Hell just look at the riots that happened over shoes:

I help companies become more productive in Army Aviation that allows them to expand their business. The more maintenance plans they provide and are approved through our office the more they are able to bid on and expand.

Guess you did not expect that huh....

if there was not a market for this, then how do they always sell out of the latest and greatest iphones? I don't know many people who live like this either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. cell phone companies feed the addiction to slavery. we will give you the latest and greatest, just sign the 2 year contract.

Because there's still enough demand in the market for luxury items.


That's different then financial stability for the Middle and Lower classes.


Debt is not the same as financial independence. Who are you paying for all this debt by the way?


Oh, well by God its the banks.

You both CONTINUALLY prove you know nothing about Economics. On a practical level and especially on a Macro level.






What deos Jordan selling out of shoes or Xbox's selling out have anything to do with the Middle or Lower classes financially?


Are you arguing that there's still enough people who are rich? Is that what your arguing?
