That is we are a country divided. We are divided by race, class, wealth, ideology and any number of other things. And in our divisions, we have sub divisions. Unlike Japan, China etc, which are primarily one Race of people, you immediately have the benefit of not bickering over skin color and discrimination etc at the levels we do in Americas. We have to overcome many social roadblocks to achieve our goals as a united country of states that contains a divided populace. We have a system that arbitrarily punishes the producers and rewards the non producers with the fruit of the producers labor. Our progressive system is noble in its intent, but is being exploited for political purposes, to the point that the entire structure is in danger of collapsing. We have two major opposing political ideologies that have fractured the people into camps of adversaries, ans withing those camps there are any number of splinter groups, fringes, radicals that only have their special interests in mind. It is all very selfish indeed. But at the top of the heap, its the power hungry meglo maniacs, the elite, who pretend to have "all " of our interest in their hearts. We have a media that is complicit in this class warfare as well. This is an internal American cold war happening right in front of the entire world. While it is going on, the economy suffers while business and people that have the means refrain from economic activity waiting for clear signals. In the mean time, while power is shifting, pols are spending more time trying to appease their interest groups, basically vote buying, by offering one of two things from where I see it. In exchange for votes, the left is offering to redistribute a large portion of the fruits of the risk takers reward to large groups of people who have been told they have been discriminated against, and this usually boils right down to ethnic lines and the left knows it. Its basically the rich conservative white man owes you and we are going to give his money to you if you will vote for us. Just give us the power and we will give you what you need to survive, and you wont have to be "job locked" as Nancy Pelosi put it. On the other side of the coin, you have republican conservatives saying hey, If you vote for us, and you responsibly earn a decent living through hard work and get rewarded for your risks, we will let you keep most of YOUR money. This is supposed to be the incentive to work, be inventive.
Well its easy to see who's going to win this battle. Government regulation of business, while necessary for sure, has over reached and made it impossible for most people to consider running their own business and hiring employees. SO its basically find a well paying job or your screwed. Well, since most well paying jobs require a degree that cost 100k or more, that not an option for many. SO who do you think they will vote for. But now, thanks to our wonderful government allowing all of our jobs to be shipped overseas, even those with degrees cant find work. The jobs went abroad for many reasons, the cost of Union labor being one of them, and of course good ole capitalist greed. But our government allowed it and still does. We do not make our own clothing here. Its pathetic. Now all we have left is a service oriented economy. Government service. Private service. Unions have heavily managed to get into the public sector, and the result is a pension system that is doomed to collapse. Our govt employees are now making twice the private sector. The unions are now controlling the teachers, fire, police, etc..... and these people will vote dem all day as long as the dems promise to tax the rest of the country to death so they can have theirs. That goes for ethnic groups too. Vote for us, we'll give you amnesty, and we wont enforce immigration laws. Vote for us, and we will sue the USDA and give billions of dollars to discriminated farmers who are black. Need not be a farmer to qualify. Vote for us, and we will pass health care legislation that requires you to buy a product as a condition of your being a breathing carbon life form living in this land. If you cant afford it, are too lazy to work, or want to be an artist, we will make the people who vote for conservatives pay for it. Want to be a corporation. Ok. We want 45%. Most in the world. All that money your grandpa earned and paid taxes on his whole life, we are going to tax it EVERY time it is inherited. EVERY TIME. Want to hire an employee to sell your,. Oh. We dont make anything anymore.
We are creating the biggest black market on the face of the earth folks. The US government has over reached, and by that I meant the combination of local, state and federal, has become to heavy a burden. Just look at California. A collapse is coming and it will hit the most liberal of states first, heavy unionized public sector states. Im a union member folks. I see the writing on the wall, because our union bosses have become nothing more than your typical self serving politicians. They simply become addicted to other peoples money.
Im sure I could rant all day and Doc Com will have plenty to say so have at it. But really, this is a domain forum. I shouldnt be doing this here.
