I want to believe that people are starting to realize that this enitre thing is a house of cards.

Matt... Honey Boo Boo drew more viewers then the conventions. I rest my case.

Thinking that viewing the conventions will help people be educated about the economy is a stretch, no?

An educated person generally will see through the rhetoric and view the entire process as a waste of time. The uneducated is going to be led astray in either direction.

Let's face it there is no economic plan that will benefit the country AND get the politicians in charge re-elected.

The transfer of money out of the middle and lower classes to the wealthiest has occurred steadily over the past 50 years. It's exactly the financial policies that the American populace has voted for. And now they have it.

The person posting the absurd theory should do the explaination.

Prove that 2 + 2 = 5 as asserted.

How do the rich steal from the poor, when the poor, by definition, don't have enough for the rich to want to steal it?

Read the study I posted in the other thread under the article "Tax cuts don't lead to economic growth". Yes, Joey, US wages have been stagnant for years, as US productivity and wealth has massively increased. Where did that money go? Not to the middle and lower class. The "transfer of wealth" distribution is a well-documented occurrence that is well-recognized in this country. It's been discussed, with voluminous numbers of charts and factual backup, by me before.

Maybe i needed to add at the end of my post. My point was and still is that if the market tanks into the election Obama gets beat. Look with unemployment at 15% it still means 85% of the people have jobs. Some will look at their situation and say hey the market is way up from 4 years ago things arent so bad, why change. What I am saying is that the uneducated and/or lazy far outnumber those that see this as it really is. What it is actually is a collapse in progress where those with the power are heisting money from the masses and will be set and immune from it. Whether the Bloods or Crips win isnt going to change things.
