You do, because you're a cheap bastard who would rather they starve so their desperation forces them to work for cheap, slave driving bastards like you.

This is why I love it when the government forces you to give up the only thing you've ever loved, your money, and short circuits your sick game.

You have all you need, you don't need any more, you're fine, you have no legitimate right to complain about anything whatsoever. So shut up, you whiney little bitch.

Love,
Dave

Poor thing.

So, you don't think that government regulation has anything to do with the dismal economy ?

Why would I think that?

I think it's mainly weak demand due to 1) capital flight to low wage economies, and 2) destruction of consumer buying power in credit bubbles, basically caused by LACK OF REGULATION of capital markets.

Yeah, I agree there is plenty of that.

And, you're good with it despite the fact that it's ruining the country.

So, tell me; Does your solution include dismal wages in the US to make us more competitive with "low wage economies" and deregulation that would put further downward pressure on employee pay and protections? If so, you know where you can shove that, Daddy Warbucks.

WTF? You think you're the only person on this forum who worked all their life and accumulated some wealth? No. You're just the only one who needs to waltz in here and stink up the place like a 3 year old smearing his own shit all over the bedroom walls for a little attention.

Jobs going overseas, credit bubbles, and the financial fiasco certainly damaged this country. But, that is no excuse for regulations that have nothing to do with any of that.

A simple thing like zoning laws and building permits in this county moved Greensboro from being the second largest city in the state to a town nobody ever heard of over the last 50 years. That's fine if you like a small town life, but it doesn't do much for jobs or the economy.

And, if you want industry you can't tax it prohibitively. Particularly when you are just kidding yourself if you think it doesn't just get passed on to you when you buy something.

You can't collect 50% tax to run the government and expect everything to be prosperous. Income tax, sales tax, gas tax, telephone tax, TV tax, property Tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, estate tax. If you actually keep 50% of what you earn you are lucky. And, they are still borrowing 30 cents on the dollar of what they spend and printing money out of thin air.

Prior mismanagement is not a reason to defend current mismanagement.

And, I can't see how anybody believes that government is well managed.

Good example is education. Guilford County has Taj Mahal county office with 10 directors making $100,000 plus. Years ago we had a local school board of unpaid parents and it would be hard to make the case that schools perform any better now. Government throws money at things and when that flops their answer is that they didn't have enough managers and throw enough money at it.

Actually I wasn't the one that started it. Bobabode who apparently has no life other than this forum started it a while back.

He didn't like my opinion about things and since he really had no logical argument against it he just got nasty.

Essentially, I believe that people are responsible for their own destiny and he thinks the government is.

Obviously people who are mentally or physically unable need to be taken care of.

Awww, did I hurt your little feelings? I'm sorry, I really I am. Ya know, I just couldn't bear it if we weren't friends anymore.

You're a supercilious punk who whines whenever someone doesn't agree with your warped neocon worldview. You even tried to start shit with me at AudioKarma the last time we talked. How did that work out for you?
