It's Official now! Welcome to Communist America, Comrade!

Quote from Scataphagos:

What are the odds of 100 million Americans "getting it" in time? About like the proverbial "snowball's chance in Hell"...

Zero. Half of us don't pay income tax. A big chunk of those voters are getting a "rebate" on taxes they don't pay, much like going into an automobile dealership and getting a rebate on a car without buying it. You can bet that virtually none of this group will "get it" - they were happy with their free lunch, but now they are getting paid to eat it.

Many of the ~50% who do pay some income tax get more aid from the government than they pay for, and they are not interested in "getting it" either.

The democrats are in power, and the worse things get, the more people who are unemployed, the bigger the welfare rolls are, the more wealth is redistributed, the more votes they get. So the democrats aren't interested in "getting it" either.

Then there's the republicans. They know they won't win elections by threatening to cut government spending. Their only hope of squeezing out some votes is by telling everybody they are in favor of only some more government, not a lot like the democrats. So they aren't going to "get it" either.

Well, at least YOU get it...

Kind of like Grandpa used to say... "You're a nice boy. Too bad it's not worth something."

you dont need a 100 million people to hit the streets, the vietnam protest never had more the 500,000 at any one time. or the civil rights protest. 1,000,000 would scare them to death

wow. its a tough time for you right wingers. the product you have invested your life into has been demonstraded not to work and the people dont want to hear it anymore. you have no new ideas so you are reduced to being the party of no.
all the while obama goes about the business of tackling problems that are long overdue.
interesting times.

Probably not. 1 Million is < 1% of the voters.... they could be "shot down like dogs" as terrorists...

Need 1/2 of voters "carrying pitchforks and signs" to get their attention.

Of course I'm "one sided"... I'm one of the "cart pullers", not a rider. And I don't agree he's "doing a better job"... he's doing a DIFFERENT JOB with a different agenda... once which will destroy America, yet the majority of Americans can't see it...

Obama cult zombies are brainwashed and blinded by greed..

Jim Jones followers worshiped him as a god.. Obama followers are much the same..

Quote from peilthetraveler:

I wonder what job America will assign me? Economic advisor? Teacher? Construction worker? Septic tank cleaner? This should be fun!

It is obvious to me ( and others ) on this website that you are merely a "paid-for" prop poster that whips up controversial posts near the end of a month in order to generate web-activity for the website that you work for. Kind of like "painting the tape" and marking up a stock at month's end.

Gotta keep generating those "web-hits" for the current and potential advertisers of ET.

How pathetic this place has become.

Given such paranoia, it's obvious that you don't trade for a living or have anything to do with trading whatsoever . . . Your paranoia would never allow you to pull the "trigger".

Congratulations Gnome!
