    More and more, I'm beginning to believe that a Right Wing mindset is a mental defect

    It can be cured. I'm living proof. I bought into the right-wing mindset for the first four years of my adult life. It wasn't until I worked in real world that I began to see its flaws.

    The 99ers...long term unemployed

    Majoring in engineering and compsci won't guarantee you a job these days either, but these articles never seem to focus on those with specialized skills unable to find employment. Siemens and a few medium-sized engineering firms recently hosted a career day at a nearby state university (ranked...

    Marijuana isn't harmless!

    They simply need to raise the education requirements to become a police officer. Federal agents typically need four-year degrees. So, why not officers at local departments?

    How many of you are bright in finance?

    I agree with blackjack. If I were you, I would actually switch to accounting. The prereqs may be the same, so it shouldn't be a difficult switch. Finance jobs are few and far between and seem to be conferred to those with math/engineering related degrees from top-schools. Based upon your...

    Great wall of china project in us, kill two birds with one stone?

    According to the Congressional Budget Office: "The tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate for state and local governments do not offset the total cost of services provided to those immigrants." Yah, eliminating those cash-under-the-table drywall and painting jobs will severely...

    College or Prop Trade

    Those with a BA/BS may have an easier time finding employment, but many are underemployed or underpaid. Some are better off with an $8/hr gig and no debt than $10/hr with debt and a degree. Employers don't want more "educated" workers; they want cheap workers. There are thousands of laid off...

    College or Prop Trade

    Abolish the Income Tax: Steve Forbes and Peter Schiff

    While I don't support the consumption tax, your concern regarding higher priced items is slightly irrelevant because every man, woman, and child would receive a monthly prebate in order to help cover living expenses up to the poverty level. Yes, even the wealthy would receive monthly...

    Abolish the Income Tax: Steve Forbes and Peter Schiff

    It's difficult to argue with the tin-foil hat crowd. Most garner their information from a multitude of grainy YouTube clips of batshit wackos like Ron Paul. But concerning the consumption tax, I find it odd that its right-leaning libertarian supporters fail to recognize the plan's...
