More of the same on steroids, his "change" is to go further along the path that got you where you are. Cain isn't status quo he is doubleplusstatusquo |

But if this fails, the next iteration will be alot worse. (Look at Rome's versions of the protest) Only thing that will heal us now is a bloody revolution... As is our right in the Declaration of independance. (need the quote?)It's why we don't have all our guns taken away like other countries... Sorry, It would truly suck, but money wins right now...And the protestors are not moneyed enough to be represented.... We are not as far apart as it seems. None of us as Americans are. |

We can agree those were wrong. However - GOVERNMENT made those happen. Yes - the wall streeters had lobbyists - but lobbyists don't enact legislation - politicians do! The wall street crowd used the system - it was the politicians who sold us out! Thats why we conservatives say the OWS folks are protesting in the wrong place. Where we differ - is the solution. Regulate them? Where the hell were Frank and Dodd while this happend? It was their job to be providing oversight - they didn't so now they pass laws to increase oversight. Oversight and regulation doesn't help when the people entrusted to do it are asleep at the wheel. Instead - it simply makes our economy struggle more with the burden. For the OWS crowd the answer is take from the rich. We got shafted - shafting someone else (who committed no crime - just used the system that the politicians put into place) isn't going to fix anything. Ultimately - this is a case of 2 wrong's don't make a right (which OWS would create) and while I can understand the angst of the OWS crowd, they are targeting the wrong people with the wrong solutions. |

We need to take back the system where one person, one vote is the way things are done. The only way to do it is to take the corrupting influence of Wall Street money out of the equation |

Mr. Hand is running for senate and will fillibuster anything Gumby tries to do. With a firm "smash" Vote for Lady Gaga and the vice president Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) I mean, we couldn't be any more of a joke than we are.:D And I apologize for accusing you of supporting the status quo, we really aren't far apart IMHO.:oops: |
Quote:
Pee Wee does funny things in the darkened theaters. Lady Gaga is much farther out than Pluto. :O: No reason to apologize. I do support some of the status quo. All be it a small portion. And honestly, I see plenty of injustice every Friday. It starts in columns such as Federal Income Tax, State Tax, MED, SS. MD M4 and 401KE(that really is the sham of all shams) We have been hoodwinked on 401K retirement plans. That is whole other thread. |

Never happen. To much money involved for campaigning. |

The problem is - its not just wall street. You going to be willing to bust the unions who put millions of dollars into the hands of politicians when the money came from members who may not support the person? You going to be willing to tell every PAC that exists that they have to shut down? And lets not forget -taking the money out of wall street will impact us ALL in a very negative way - wny not just put a dividing wall between wall street, unions , PAC's etc? Because the POLITICIANS won't allow it. The POLITICIANS take the money. The POLITICIANS make the laws. The POLITICIANS screw the people. Seems the root of the problem is the POLITICIANS! And that goes for both "parties"! So why are we all, black, white, yellow, polkadoted, liberal, conservative, OWS, Tea Party, etc - not focusing on where the real problem is? Because the establishment is pulling the strings on groups like OWS. They are using them to deflect blame away from the politicians. The only reason the left gets more grief is because they have been the ones in power for a little while. Which is why they are using OWS. Its not the OWS'ers fault - they are just following the line they were given - without using critical thinking. Its easier to blame than think. THINK - and you will see the problem isn't the "left" or the "right" - the problem is those who have used the play off the other side to consilidate their power to the point where people refuse to see the real problem. RENO! Re Elect No One |

AVG - the thing is "they" do own it - and "they" isn't the democrats any more than its the republicans. BOTH sides have shafted us. This bailout crap started with Bush.
The two parties simply move at different speeds. Now, with the arrival of the OWS and Tea Party, you have the real differences. Socialism or a return to constitutional governance. Yes - that is a generalization on both - but its still fairly accurate. |
