Furiously Googling, Drock is...
peace...
Yes furiously googling lol.
Our economy has been shit for over a decade, around 12 years, so I'm not going to downplay the affect it's having on the middle class as you are.
Average UE rate from 2001 to 2007 was under 5% with GDP growth during that time. Is that really shit?
The middle class cannot disappear. Just by definition.
You hear them Screaming Bloody Murder about the Extinction of the "Middle Class", as if that's where everyone should Strive to be in Life...
So why do you Think Liberals have a Love Affair with the Concept of Everyone being Mediocre?...
My Opinion is that it makes the Masses Easier to Rule and Control.
What's yours?
peace...
None of the liberals I grew up listening to accepted anything short of conquering the moon.
The Greek definition of happiness is full use of ones powers along the lines of excellence.
President John F. Kennedy
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
President John F. Kennedy
It's because the left LOVES bumperstickers. Like the "My kid was student of the month" kind..
It's all about the self-esteem you know. Competition and merit TAKES from the unfortunate.
There's only a fixed amount of merit available and we MUST conserve to make it sustainable..
That's ridiculous.
Right wingers love average and below. Look at how they've managed their states. Look at Texas, a cesspool with one university in the top 50. Near the bottom in high school graduates and the most polluted state in the nation. Yet right wingers see it as a "stunning success".
In fact, if the Red States weren't supported economically by Blue states, they would all be bankrupt. By taking Federal money from Blue States and propping up Red States economies, you just put that bankruptcy off a little bit longer. Ignorant people don't really contribute unless it's manual labor. Even then, you have to watch them like a hawk.
Yes, just look at that leftist paradise California. They have ten million more people, more money being squandered by the government and only TWO universities made it into the top 25 in this rating! Of course my uni is in the top 5!
The List is Out: America's Best Colleges - MonsterCollege

Yea, but 6 in the top 50. Texas has only 1.
I don't even live in California, but if you took the money the US squeezes from that prosperous state and put put it back where it came from, California would have a balanced budget with money to burn.
Instead, I love the way right wingers constantly rant against California, a state that is number one or number two in everything from technology to science to automation to major world exporters of fruit and vegetables. Not to mention theater and art. How many billions does Hollywood bring into the US every year while right wingers have that fucking rotten Christian music. Even a lot of "their" country music actually comes from California.
So what do right wingers do? They glorify a cesspool like Texas. A state that constantly threatens to secede from the Union. And rant against a state like California. A state that's being robbed to prop up the economies of ignorant right wing Red states. It's a tragedy and a crime.

They don't consider Texas a cesspool. For them, poverty is a feature, not a bug.
Some might argue that leftism and a meritocracy are mutually exclusive ideals, but that is not really the case. There may be conflicting elements that need to be balanced, but by and large the two could definitely coexist. Yet for some reason leftists dismiss the meritocracy concept out of hand at best, and view it as an absolute evil at worst. And I just don't understand why.
Why do leftists abhor the concept of a meritocracy?
No, we don't. We define it as getting off your ass and getting to work.The problem with this discussion is that conservatives define merit as being born to rich parents.
California is being robbed to prop up its OWN economy. And they're failing to do even that.That's ridiculous.

Isn't Texas BEAUTIFUL????
A Google of the file name -- hk pollution -- turns up this blog entry:Some say Texas cities are the most beautiful. If you can see one.
And now dean is claiming these are Texans, based only on his bigotry against conservatives.Houston - the third year in a row - the "Fattest" city in the US. Texas has 5 in the top 15.
The Right seems to believes merit should be the only factor determining advancement. The Left seems to believe that there are other factors to be considering in addition to merit such as seniority. Sometime there will be a person that is clearly exceptional but often judging merit is purely subjective. Using seniority in conjunction with merit is IMHO the right method for determining advancement.Some might argue that leftism and a meritocracy are mutually exclusive ideals, but that is not really the case. There may be conflicting elements that need to be balanced, but by and large the two could definitely coexist. Yet for some reason leftists dismiss the meritocracy concept out of hand at best, and view it as an absolute evil at worst. And I just don't understand why.

Nonsense.The Right seems to believes merit should be the only factor determining advancement.
The so called "right" objects to inheritence taxes on multimillionaire scions.
That in itself is their argument against meritocracy.
Unless, of course, one considers being born to weathy family a kind of merit.
Which is, I think, what most of them actually do believe given that they are overtly classists.
