OK, that’s true. But doing everything here we are talking about doesn’t really make you an independent, it makes you a business owner. The original poster made it out like anybody can just be an independent and go start cleaning houses for $25 an hour. I think we can all agree that that is...

No the point is, how come we never ask how the rich got rich in the first place? If they screwed people to get rich and didn’t really produce products that bring value to an economy, I would contend that to tax them wouldn’t be redistribution, it would be re-redistribution. When the rich...

That’s exactly what I was saying all along!?

See this is exactly what I’m talking about. Lower and middle income people follow the rules, then get shafted by the rich and then people like you go around and are happy about it. You call that capitalism at its finest. Then, you sit at home and can’t figure out why people vote Democrat...

Hmmm. Looking through the local job ads yesterday I stumbled upon this ad. 3 years experience, must have a car, be legal to work here. Wow just to make $9 an hour. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2472497> Anybody willing to pay $30 an hour for somebody to clean...

Yes wealthy people tend to be want lower taxes, but then why aren’t they all moving to Wyoming?

Ohhh now I get it, you were just talking about “professional jobs.” Everybody else who works all of the other jobs in society, well, I guess we can just let the eat cake. Yes an experienced, good assistant or secretery can make that much. But how many other just as qualified people do...

How come around here when the rich are critisized or questioned, you are automatically labeled a Socialist, but when the poor get shafted by the rich, that is wonderful example of our free enterprise system at work? Aaple, Google, and unfortunately Microsoft are great examples of people bringing...

As the other guy pointed out, $25 is what the company charges. The workers are probably getting no more than $10. You know like when you go to the mechanic and they charge you $90 an hour, but it’s only one guy working on it who probably gets $12. The other $78 pays for the sales clerks...

I tell you what. When the Gazette comes out tomorrow, I’ll look at the employment ads. I’ll take all the ads that have a salary, add them togther and divide it by the number of jobs. Then we’ll see the average wage. Also, if this area is so liberal, how come so many rich people still...

You have a good point there, but still, where is all the money going then?

I live in Montgomery County. Probably most of the millionaires disappearing is due to the recession. I don’t know the exact statitistics, but from my observation, there is very little, I guess you could say, consumer driven industry here. I don’t’ know if that’s exactly what I mean, but...

Look I know you’re not going to understand this, and frankly I don’t care. Do you really think that I sit on my butt all day and deliver pizza and think I’m going to get rich? Please point to one of my posts that says I deserve a nice life doing that. I have been trading since I was 17 and...

Thanks for that. Although I think they have switched to Hannity. He scares me at how biased he is. He sounds just like these people here reading from a Republican handbook with all these one liners like, “live within your means” but can’t answer a simple question like, what is your plan to...

Yea I’m on the same email list. I don’t think generic robo letters are even read by a Congressional office, I’d rather call them when it comes to something like this. I am worried about Obama not signing it. I was willing to give him a chance, but I am beginning to think that he is...

Look, I am no economist, but I can positively say that any potential problem you see with a gold standard is completely dwarfed by the single fact that no one can print money out of thin air anymore. Also our money doesn’t just have to be backed by gold and silver. We could have oil and land...

So you mean the poor and middle class are getting shafted by the rich? Cause everybody around here makes it out like people are poor because they lived beyond their means and are lazy and just don’t don’t want to work and think they are entitled to everything.

I was about to call me Congresswoman and tell her that I didn’t vote for her and don’t like her, but if she just cosponsored this one thing, I would vote for her. But the next day I got the email and she had already done that, so I guess that saves me. I suppose I should still call her and...

There is no such thing as a job Americans won’t do. There are however employers who won’t pay an honest days wage for an honest days work and import immigrants here so they can get it done cheaper. Do you really think that the farmers in Florida would have no one to pick the oranges if there...

Man who pissed in your Cheerios? Well apparantly employers do care where 75% of 2009 graduates went to college, because that’s how many don’t have a job yet. I wonder if I go to college and become part of that 75%, is TraderAntiChrist over there gonna rip me a new asshole when I can’t pay...
