Whens the last time a rich person did anything for you? Yeah me
neither.
So what you're saying is that you want some of the wealth without
working for
it?
Like you do?

Me? I worked for mine! I suggest that you get your shine box out and
join M II out
on the corner and get busy, boys.


Bull****. You were just bragging about your profits from some kind of
oil deal while sitting on your well rounded bum.


So what? If he's invested well, and profited from his investments,
he's earned the profits. It's part of the process.



Why should that **** you off? And why is it any of your business?


Ace is an ass, and he lies.


Really? Heck, I'm not related to 'Eduardo'!

That's what "****es me off".


You wake up ****ed off.

People who
defend the plundering of this formerly great country **** me off.


Plundering? Making money is plundering? Then dip****s such as yourself are
thieving!


Paying people substandard wages that don't cover the bills while people work
their lives away is plundering. Making obscene profits at the expense of the
working class is plundering. Being clueless and chronically stupid as you
are isn't going to change that fact or lead to an economic turnaround.



You
don't even realize how ****ed we are.


We realize just how ****ed YOU are, boy. Now go take those meds.

None so blind... They know not...


...that they are mentally ill.

Crap, Billy, I must be smarter than you are!

What ****es me off about you is that you are a nut case posting about
your paranoia in the RRS news group.

It's not paranoia one bit. It's over.


This nation is in a lot of trouble as the middle classes are being wiped
out. Talk to the average consumer and average worker and you'll see things
as they are. Not reading ****ty publications that tell us how great things
are. Thats why the people are up to their eyeballs in debt just to afford
the basics. We're not talking about living with the Joneses, were talking
about the average American family making 30 K to 70 K going down quite hard
as the cost of living increases faster than wages. Unemployment and
underemployment is around 15 percent by any real substantial economic
analysis. Government says unemployment is 5.5 percent yet the way they
figure the stats is flawed. For instance, they don't count people who have
left the workforce due to not being able to find a job. They don't count the
people that started into a small business or some other occupation. They
include the prisoners in the prison system as being employed even though
they are not in the civilian workforce. This also includes the military
folks even though they do not hold civilian jobs.

Government and the housing industry was responsible for the creation of what
jobs were created since 2001 and 2002. Now that bubble is bursting and the
housing is going down hard which decreases the need for construction
workers, home improvement, and many other jobs. Government payrolls
increased by tens of thousands with little increases in productivity. Small
towns all over America are being decimated as jobs leave in the
manufacturing industries yet Wal Mart, China Mart, and every other business
relies on imported goods from the Far East. You dont create wealth by
creating nothing of value. Even a lot of computer software is not created
here but by Indian programmers. So there went high tech and high quality
jobs.

The people at Ace's weekly 'mutual respect' sessions tell me he's

What's it like to be on the losing side of the stupid off topic rants

Well, since you asked, I'd have to really say that it must really suck to

you, boy.



Glad to see you responding to your name. The training certainly took
long enough. I don't attend weekly group 'mutual respect' sessions like
you do, so I have no valid reference for the 'sucking' business.

Do you dress like the Village People at those sessions? I've heard you
go as a member of the Miami Nation. They won't be too happy when they
find out.

He risked his capital to make that profit. It could have gone the other
way and he could have lost all of it.

My point exactly is that risk is being transferred from capital to labor,
without commensurate reward. Things are out of kilter. New gilded age.


Either they are benefitting from the current arrangement where labor makes
little while the rich get richer, or they are totally clueless about the
current widening of the strata between economic classes. Either way, they
are still responsible for what is happening to this country whether they
like it or not

Actually no; his brain is quite unfried. You wish he was a burnout,
because he speak unpleasantries. "Kill the messenger when you don't like
the message."

Why are you ignoring basic facts? Why do you defend the robber barons and
the torturers?


They're not smart enough to really understand what you are saying. That or
perhaps they enjoy being blind. Either way, when the stock market crashes
and burns over the next few months you can expect that they will be
squealing like stuck pigs. Its already down around 20 percent this last
year. It was once around 14 to 15 K and now its barely over 11 K. Trending
down.

No, what I want is the filthy rich to stop exploiting the poor of the
world by stealing their resources and using them as slave labor, and
stop raping the forests, and stop poisoning our air and water, and
stop taking parent's children to fight their wars for them, and stop
killing innocent woman and children who have done nothing wrong except
be in the way of what the rich want.

The list could go on and on and on but why bother, such things don't
matter to you and most others.

Bottom line is - it isn't what I want the rich to do FOR me, I just
want them to stop what they are doing TO all of us.


They ain't done nothin to me.



Blindness is a virtue in your case

If ya think about it, it's those of us who saved and invested our money so that
it might be lent out to you mindless twits who spent yourselves into debt.

I'm not in debt (other than my house payment). I went to work, and for many
years I worked two jobs. I saved, I invested.

Would I like to have more, certainly! But, I got what I got, and **** those
who'd like to take it away!
