And Hank Paulson is retired.
Really? One of the biggest? You think so? I don’t know if I’d say that . I mean, it was basically just a dissolution of a federation of independent states. Not that big a deal, I think, against the backdrop of all of human history.something .

While “all of human history” may be a stretch, I’d certainly consider the end of the 45-year-long Cold War to be somewhat of a big deal. I can’t think of anything else in my lifetime that reshaped the world to such an extent.
Presenting…the common man’s perspective.

And why do we keep giving credence to their estimations of the ‘hoi piloi’ of the world…
We "lesser folks’…
SUCK up every…single…explanation of the Tim Geitners in the United States of America…and every single explanation of British Petroleum about the gushing of oil into the Gulf of Mexico…
Meh.
lurking_guest:
While we watch…every. single. person. In every. single. Country. With every single access to money and power…tell us how to ‘think’ how to ‘react’ how to ‘feel’ about voting…while being convinced of, and counting on, the ‘Stupid Masses’ of EVERY country working and working and working and working to get into the six-figure demographic.
Meh.
lurking_guest:
Capitalism.
The VIRTUE of this form of Economics is to keep the Masses convinced that if they keep working Harder, Longer, and with more Focus, that 'THEY MAY TOO, ONE DAY, BECOME MILLIONAIRES,
Socialism won’t work.
The HARD PART is to keep the ‘Common’ folk beyond the Sarah Palins and the Mit Romneys and the Barak Obamas and the Newt Gingriche’s and the Pat Buchannans and the “Meet The Press”(es) and the Tim Geitners and the Larry Sommers and Ben Bernankes and the Alan Greenspans and the ‘Lovers of Ronald Reagan’…

ALL of these folks deciding what is ‘right’ for the American people.
They ALL have a great big FAIL.
Our Congress People (whomever is serving right now) are irremdiably compromised.

There will come a time when the folks who work physically in the houses of the wealthy and those who work on roads and in schools and on police forces who will ‘wake up’ and see they are being ‘screwed’ by their ‘betters.’
Jesus Christ Citizens!
Can you imagine in YOUR job that you can MANDATE, legallyyour “Benefits”?
Your Heallth Insurance? Your Retirement Income? Your Wages? Your Vacations? Your days-on-the-job?
THIS is what your Representatives in Congress can do.
Meh.
lurking_guest:
They have ‘Small Businesses’ in their Offices in Congress.
And WE support them
The Bastards ‘work’ about 120 days a year and have US, the TAXPAYERS, support their Offices, their Privileges, their Entitelments… and they TRULY BELIEVE that they DESERVE the billions of dollars that we ( the taxpayers) pay into their Offices in Congress.
Meh.
lurking_guest:
They work and work and work and work to HANG ON TO their ‘Small Businesses’ in the Congress.
Their Staffs (paid for by the Taxpayers) their Offices (paid for by the Taxpayers)
Well…
Who ARE these folks?

We are getting screwed.
We simple, common, every-day folks who pay taxes and look in shock upon the ultra rich who seem to be making decisions for all of us, the World over.

What BETTER way to convince folks that ‘YOU, TOO can become a Billionaire!’
Let’s spread this out, all across the Globe…
Work. Work. Work. Become more Productive. Word HARDER. Work FASTER. Work more Productively.
Meh.
lurking_guest:
In the ‘Eyes’ of these effers…there is no other way to keep the masses more productive and more “Hungry” than Capitalism.
‘They’ (the Masses) will work longer and harder and with more passion if they feel that they, too, can have a ‘good’ boat…a ‘nice’ house…and 'beat their effin “RIVALS” in the “POSSESSION” wars.
Meh.

American workers understand this: The United Arab Emerits, The Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia, Tawain, China, North Korea, South Korea, Spain, Portugal, Austrailia, India, Japan, and ANY group of workers on the Continent of Africa are ALL willing to work for LESS than you are.
These privileged “Representatives” (for whom their offices and staffs are paid for by the American People every single day of their representation) don’t seem to “get it.”

I could’ve used a little more cowbell. Really explore the posting space this time.
Exactly. Sheeple, the lot of you.
No, it’s startlingly difficult to comprehend because it’s just a random list of words which make no sense when placed together in that order.
Seriously, man, if nobody understands your post, the problem isn’t “everyone else”.

The OP dislikes capitalism, politicians and proper formatting of paragraphs.
He is fond of ellipses.
I think I got all the essentials.
I’ve just started a book called “Filthy Lucre: Economics for People Who Hate Capitalism.” A quote from this book:
As a result, the commitment to “limited government” and “laissez-faire” capitalism turns out to be not so much a principled defense of individual liberty as an arbitrary privileging of the interests of those with money to invest (whom we may refer to, for convenience, as “the wealthy”). The right-wing call for “less government” therefore becomes a call to “keep those programs that benefit the wealthy - scrap everything else.” And this simply doesn’t qualify as a political philosophy. When spoken in the mouths of the privileged, it’s just a fancy way of saying, “More free stuff for me, less for you.”
Page 43, “Filthy Lucre: Economics for People Who Hate Capitalism” by Joseph Heath. Copyright 2009, HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
I think that’s the kind of capitalism our Lurking Guest is railing against.
Change of subject, but I think that it would be a real shame to ban this guy. He is the most interesting poster that I have seen in a while. Sort of reminds me of good 'ol Justthink. This board has really been missing the crazy that used to make it so interesting. When is the last time we had a good rock in the box I burning your dog thread?
