I would like to think you would care for others a bit more than what you are saying.

But if it comes to a shoot out, life as you would like to bet will be gone.

Some how man kinds fate is tied up in having the majority getting along with each other. In a shoot out not only the bad die but as many or more of the good guys do to. When you shoot others, others shoot back.

So my advice is to find a lot of good friends. Because hungry people have nothing to lose.

Over all the actions of s***ery & colonization left behind rich & poor & not much of a middle class.

I have been trying to point out as that is what is happening in the USA today. As part of the middle class if we want to keep this country much as it is laid out to be some how some thing must be done to preserve the middle class.

We may not be able to undue what has been done but if only our personal sake we keep things from getting worse.

I find nothing wrong with your statement.

I am self employed. I set the prices I charge.

The issue as I see it is most small businesses have to depend on the general public for their source of money.

If the money that circulates in the general public is restricted
then small businesses have a harder time getting by.

Most of the money that circulates in the general public is money earned as wages.

If people were paid more, more money circulates in the general public.

But most of what I hear here is that, that is bad & more money going to the few is the way they wish it to be.

Now if you are part of the middle & wish to truly do better you have to ask your self will I have a better chance of getting money from the general public or from the big banks or who ever is putting most of the money in their pockets?

If some one or as I like to say is down on the street has more is that is better for me that some fat cat getting fatter?

It is not about some having more than others. It is about every one having a fair chance to get a piece of the pie.

I know of no simpler way of putting it. Our security is dependent on the security of those around us.

I view my self as being down on the street mixing with average people & the security of the man one the street is in the most part is if he has the money to meets his basic needs.

You are right with your comment.

People are miss treated.

If we are to take credit for what has been done right We should stand up & take the blame for what we have done wrong.

I wanted you to state your views on things that were done during s***ery & colonization.

There are areas where this is still going on.
It is not blaming. but to under stand that the world is screwed up & making it a better place for those less well off. will make it a better place for us all.

But if you wish to not see how the unrest in the world could affect & does affect you so be it.

This isn't personal about you.

We are here to talk about issues of importance. We tell each other how we know what is going on around us.

I pointed how the heading on this post is spelled wrong.
several have replied on this. If a person can after it having been pointed out to them, be taken as seriously as one should.

As side note.
I come here with a reasonably open mind but many here don't seem to open their minds to the possibility that others may have some sane ideas.

[quote=ldsuttonjr]Floyd : Free Market Capitalism has saved Billions from starvation. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear - there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system. Keeping an open mind is important, but not so important that your brain falls out! Socialism is evil - evil to the core! It destroys one's ability to enjoy his free agency! I can see the junk your talking about - its being
perpertrated by Democrats.


Have you ever been aware of the s***ery that has & is still going on? How about colonization, how has that turned out?

Just where were all of these starving billions that got saved & just how are they doing to day.

About hypocrisy: I try to correct all of the spelling mistakes that I make. It takes time but I feel that if we have some thing to say One should try to see that the spelling is right.

The spelling is wrong on the heading. I make so many mistakes of my own & don't wish to put in my head & use miss spellings.

The mistakes made in posts by others are distracting but I don't care & live with it.

One has to look at the macro view when looking at this.

If you make a product it would be nice if there was money out there to buy it Seeing as how its okay for the owners to take all the money they want out first this leaves the pie smaller for the poor to buy the product. You want small government So it would seem that the government would mot be spending much to buy your product.

Now with your market much smaller.

Now you do remember that those that labor are to be paid last. Owners first workers last. Owners with much workers with what ever is left over.
Is that how you see the big picture?

Just what do you propose to do with poor people. It would help if you had a good reason for what should be done.
Remember the bit about life, liberty & the persuit of happiness.

So you may have a product to sell. But in a smaller market with less money & fewer buyers.

Remember we are talking On the nation wide issue.

Democrats’ Hypocrisy Exposed, But Does It Matter? [Updated]

Tonight House Republicans offered a series of measures to restore funding to the national parks, District of Columbia operations and veterans’ services. But House Democrats v**ed against all three measures, sending them down to defeat. So the Democrats’ hypocrisy is revealed: they wring their hands over those poor Americans who want to visit the parks, but when they have the opportunity to fund the parks, they turn it down.

Of course, the Republicans could have passed these measures without any Democratic v**es, but they followed a procedure that required a two-thirds majority, hoping either to pressure Democrats into v****g for the bills, or embarrass them if they didn’t. So the whole thing was political theater.

The Democrats say they won’t pick and choose; either the whole government is funded, or none of it. They evidently don’t see any political risk from keeping popular government services shut down, and they are probably right. The whole shutdown dance is, if not a disaster, then certainly a setback for the Republican Party. Whose idea was it, anyway? Today’s headlines should have been all about the countless problems that attended the launch of Obamacare’s insurance exchanges, but instead, that story was mostly lost in the shuffle. Moreover, Syria has been forgotten and Iran is off the radar screen; the Republicans’ effort to defund or delay Obamacare, which was doomed from the start, has sucked the oxygen out of every other story. It would have been hard to come up with a strategy that more effectively took Democrats off the hook.

Politics is a game played by politicians–a game with very high stakes–and it helps if your side’s politicians are good at it.[/quote

Hypocrisey. I see that I have to look that word up in the dictionary. No offense but I couldn't spell the word ether.
The reason I checked it was the spell check marked it as wrong. Hypocrisy is what I found in the dictionary.

Any way If you really want to tee a person off just call them a hypocrite. I know that I would like to say the right thing & never be a hypocrite. I suppose that it it may happen.

Issues are complex & commenting on different topics can some times bring conflicting views.

This was only meant to be a comment on hypocrisy.
I think in government there are many hypocrites.

I think that I may remember how to spell it now.

Did you really read this to the end?

The private sector is not doing the best job at providing good health care at reasonable price to as many people who need it. If some of my money goes to help some people get good health care I am alright with that. But we don't need a private insurance company sucking up a lot of the money.

A******n is a poor way to have birth control.
But the woman that has some thing in her she don't want to have she should have a safe way to dispose of the problem. It would not please me to have to pay endlessly for this. The first maybe but on the second round it should be make so that there will be no more.

I would venture that the quality of the information I get is no worse that what you get. It all comes down to what you make of it.

Because of where I am in this stage off my life I chose freely in what I believe. Lets just say I am as close to being a true capitalist as any on here. I am self employed, have income property & money in the stock market. I live with in my income & have some left over.

I feel that I am in the middle. I would like to think that most
people here are also. So I feel the solutions that are good for the middle would be better.

The problem as I see it is too few people are taking too much out of the main stream & using it in ways that are not good for the rest of us. Like buying Washington.

Some feel that our problems are caused by the poor free loaders. I will agree that there are problems in that area.
Being in the middle & seeing all sides I feel I get a good view of what is going on & perhaps what could be a better answer.

I feel that it is people like us who have much the same over all interests, need to look a the problems in light of the fact that the middle is carrying most of the burden & is increasing.

I also feel that it is the wealth being increasingly in fewer hands is not a good system for those of us in the middle.

The bottom has been almost sucked dry & they are coming strong for the middle to pick up the load.

I feel that I have enough for now. But the picture gets dimmer as I look at what could happen.

To look at the problem isn't where the money gos but where it ends up.

Blindly following some issue can apply to both sides.

If you are not going to comply I thing I will skip it too.

Only thing is I have been on SS for 11 yrs.

For My wife & I have been paying over $8,000.00 a year for Part B, Part D, add coverage.

What eve happens we adjust the best we can.

I like the bit about hiring the politicians. We may have v**ed for them (IE: hired ) but some one else paid them.

We know who they listen to.

Well this topic should be put in the trash.
