Failures? I'm the son of a Russian immigrant, legal I might add, that is living better than I ever would have imagined while growing up. I simply have not forgotten where I came from and have enough of a sense of gratitude and obligation to see that those that come after me have the same opportunity. They don't, and they won't so long as this disproportion continues. No reasonable person expects the business tycoons to invest just for the hell of it. There's nothing wrong with profits, good profits. Some of those profits can be kept for personal use while the rest is re-invested towards growth of their business. That's capitalism at it's best. What we have now is not capitalism. It is the financial rape of the work force while keeping every last dime for themselves. It's gaming the system in such a way that profits are privatized while losses are socialized. It's corporate and government corruption at a level that borders on crimes against humanity.

And thank you for demonstrating that the radical right has useful idiots like the radical left. I know, I know, you're an independent. Save it, we know what you are.

Quote from Index piker:
What's disturbing and a bad omen for our society is how vehemently ( if not savagely) this idea is attacked and ridiculed
Bad times are coming if this attitude dominates for too long.
Quote from Trader666:
First, you didn't quote Franklin, you just think you did by parroting something that's attributed to him but not sourced.
Second, I doubt Franklin would agree with neo's absurd statement that I quoted above.
Finally, if you had a clue about Franklin in general and his role in the Constitutional Convention in particular, we wouldn't be having this exchange.
