Yea but in the early 70's CEO's used to make only 60 times what an average worker was paid and now it's 331 times or 5.5 times more than it used to be.

Meanwhile the National Debt, the debt we all owe, has gone from 500 billion in the early 70's to almost 18 trillion today but that's only 36 times more than it used to be.

As long as 'they' are able to keep the lemmings feeling like victims, jealous and focused on trivia they can buy and have been buying their votes for decades. F@#k the generations to come, we're leaving them windmills and electric cars.

Hey, when did you join the Occupy Movement?!

FWIW, in every presidential election in which I have voted, I've always considered my vote to be for the lesser of two evils. In my youth, I considered my Dad's view of politicians to be incredibly cynical, but it only took time and attention for my opinion of them to mirror his (again, with rare exceptions). Anyone who isn't cynical about big government isn't paying attention.

Id at least like my next vote for prez not be viewed as 'throwing away' my vote, like in the last two elections.

Talked to one of the leads of the Libertarian Party of Vanderburgh Co. Southern Indiana recently. He told me that the party has no structure whatsoever despite having a strong Pres. Candidate.

Nothing is going to work unless these guys gets some backing.

So if you are smart enough to see the inevitiable outcome of concentrated wealth and those with that wealth buying the rule changes you are playing the victim card? Take a look at companies missing earnings and where are they missing? If you guessed revenues you would be correct. Why would that be genius? We are no longer in the 70's where some had a sense of ethics and fair play. You now have CEO's with a lottery ticket of hundreds of millions in options. You think they give a fuk that the jobs they are blowing away will translate into future revenue misses? Nah just hit the bottom line for the Qtr so they cash out.
I wish I could gloat when the **** hits the fan and all your assests become worthless as we get crushed with deinflation but mine will be also. But you are smart and will get short. Good luck with the carrying charges and the routine margin call inducing bear market rallies that crush people a hell of a lot smarter than us.

Now back to this ISIS ****. I have been very against the wasted Trillions over the last 15 years but now it is time to send a message. We need to send a 21st century Locust swarm of drones at them and destroy them. Cost effective and none of our sons and daughters will be coming back in half.

On its face, this address is ludicrous.

On its face the entire state of the world is ludicrous.

So we're going to arm and train the Syrian rebels...who in turn will overthrow Assad...then we'll fight the rebels we armed and trained in a few years.

All for Israel. Who Christ-tards get confused with "Jerusalem" in the Bible.

FFS why was I born in caveman times? Why? Why couldn't I have been born on a planet with sane humanoids?

Lather Rinse Repeat... War game is an extremely profitable business. One would like to think (if they believed in such fairy tales) there is a very uncomfortable place in hell for those involved.

Just machines that make big decisions
programmed by fellas with compassion and vision.
We'll be clean when their work is done,
We'll be totally free, yes, and totally young...

Our debt is slowly closing in on 25% of the GWP (Gross World Product). We have borrowed 25% of all the money in the WORLD.




Let that seep in a second.





We've exceeded 17.7 trillion dollars in debt (approximately 152,000.00 per tax payer), and there is only 71 Trillion dollars in the world as of 2012.

How do you guys think this all ends? Cuz it's gunna end. And a lot sooner than you think.

Just because Faux News doesn't tell you about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
