a better position to have success. Higher taxes and stricter govenment
regulations is certainly not the answer. We have to fix this or we all go down
together. We also can not compete with workers from other countries who
live in bambo huts and are fine with eating a handfull of rice every day. Your
company was wise to try and retool for the future. If they would have shown
that 6 million in profit, would our administration have used their 3 million dollar cut
in a way to benefit this country?

I believe you think you are.
In a perfect world, but unfortunately...........................
The people who run my factory screw up nearly everything they touch.
And you don't dare speak up and confront them with it, because they are the massive intellect that the entire universe is built upon. At least that's what Limbaugh has told them. Tell them they're wrong, then go ahead and paint the target on your back. Start looking for another job.
(And I've been around long enough and worked in enough places to know it probably isn't much different anywhere else.)
Our government did try to give billions to the biggest capitalists in the world, in the hopes that these wise and benevolent pillars of society would use it in a way that would benefit us all. And what have they done with it?
Pheasant hunting in Scotland, fat bonuses, corporate junkets to lavish resorts around the world, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. Then on top of it all they take whatever is left and SIT on it, raise interest rates dramatically, and start whining that they need Uncle Barrack to give them more.
What kills me is all of you who think voting REPUBLICAN is somehow going to fix this. It was a Republican that started giving them our tax money. Have you forgotten that? It's Republicans that think FEEDING the GREED will somehow satisfy it. That turning a blind eye to what these people do is the answer to our problems. How so? What they fail to see is that GREED is never, ever satisfied. That's why your Bible tells you (Or at least attempts to tell you.) that "the love of money is the root of all
EVIL."
(And please spare me the "Greed is not necessarily the love of money." argument that I heard Limbaugh try to use, years ago. That's rediculous.)
Sorry, Hatchet. But I stand by my response to your "fish" analogy; "From what I've seen, Sharks are just ruthless and insatiable eaters." Trying to satisfy their greed is a fools venture.
BTW, If you want to work for a handfull of rice, have at it. If you try to drag me down to that level there is GOING to be a fight.
Have a nice day!
Dave
