So...You Believe America is "Still Here"???

[PoliticalChic]

looks around.....Yep still here.

In a far, far weaker iteration.

Very much like your education.

hey look Pc made an education joke.......again......for the millionth time on this board.....

This is what happens people when heroin takes its toll.

The 'education joke' is you.

Corporations have been winning their war against Labor for several decades.

That's the only reason this country has gone downhill.

You older timers who wonder why your mom or grandmom was always home raising the kids, and dad was earning a living outside the home,

and now your own wives and daughters and granddaughters are almost all working to make the same ends meet,

that's what went wrong with this country. The Corporations drove down your earning power until one income wouldn't make it anymore.

Just as conservatives have always wanted it.

yes i got that point from you the first time we confronted each other on this board.

I suggest you figure out some new material Pc. Attempting to constantly insult peoples education because they disagree with you has like i said, gotten rather weak and old.


anyways America is still here, its not going anywhere and the idea that it is weak is silly.

Anyway, I have a job: I sit around being fantastic all day.

Yes, we know you sit around all day. Lazy liberal.

I've been around since the 70's...no complaints. At it's worst, America is still the best. You'll note that none of the sourpusses under Obama or Bush for that matter left this "terrible" place.

except "this place" was exponentially better under Bush.

Not really; we had soldiers coming home in boxes, banks ran by millionaires who needed emergency releif so they could pay some of their millionaire subordinates their bonues as it turns out, we rejected science in favor of religious theory etc...

Now those same banks are still too big to fail and we have a president who seems unwilling to use his office for extraordinary purposes during extraordinary times. Bush wouldn't have fixed either problem anyway.

yes, it was.

I guess now we have a "Seven Words You Should Never Type" on the internet? I am pretty sure two of them start with the letters "O" and "A".

1. Let's see what the result is when another one of your posts comes up against fact:

a. Wages equal the marginal productivity of labor, meaning that the outcome in terms of income and wealth is a function of what one does. It is also a function of how many people do the same.

b. Babe Ruth, being asked how he felt holding out for a salary higher than that of the US President Hoover: “Why not, I had a better year than he did.”

2. So, as productivity and skills increase, workers earn more. Productivity of workers in competitive markets is what determines the earnings of most workers; and it is not an accident that labor earns about 70% of the total output of the American economy, and capital earns about 30%.

although many of us weren't around when shows like Leave it to Beaver/Dick Van Dyke/Twighlight Zone/Andy Griffin were in their prime, for most of us, that was America, who watches the reruns of those programs and wonders what ever happened to those times?

"I suggest you figure out some new material Pc. Attempting to constantly insult peoples education because they disagree with you has like i said, gotten rather weak and old."

Seriously....I'm gonna take your advice, as soon as you graduate from junior high school.
As it stands now, the only way you find your way home each day is the bread crumbs.


I'm hoping that that level of maturity will inform your absurd opinion, i.e., that America hasn't lost out in the battle against encroaching big government.


But....I am the eternal optimist.

We have been governed by government supremacists since Ape Lincoln.

The democrats want a socialist republic and the republicans a fascist one. The end result is that the federal government is an omnipotent criminal behemoth.

Pander to the rich Reaganism has been ruining the non rich and the country for 30 years, and continues- The 2008 Pub depression is just the big kicker. The dupes are distracted by a whole BS alternate universe of propaganda, and no one is more submerged than PC.

BTW, Hitler was a fascist becouse he was pals with corporate aristocrats and CEOs- That's not socialism, and neither is communism. Socialism is democratic period. Read something. Here:

1. WORKERS past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):1950 = 101%1960 = 105%1970 = 105%1980 = 105% – Reagan1990 = 100%2000 = 96%2007 = 92%A 13% drop since 1980A 13% drop since 1980.

THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.Share of National Income going to Top 10%:1950 = 35%1960 = 34%1970 = 34%1980 = 34% – Reagan1990 = 40%2000 = 47%2007 = 50%

TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.Household Debt as percentage of GDP:1965 = 46%1970 = 45%1980 = 50% – Reagan1990 = 61%2000 = 69%2007 = 95% An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.1950 = 6.0%1960 = 7.0%1970 = 8.5%1980 = 10.0% – Reagan1982 = 11.2% – Peak1990 = 7.0%2000 = 2.0%2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:1945 = 12%1958 = 6%1990 = 3%2000 = 2%A 10% Decrease.

We are still here...but moving away from the founders vision...moving away from Christian values, moving away from personal responsibility, self reliance, virtue, self discipline, self denial, deferred gratification, humility and perseverance. Back in the sixties we threw out the bath water (racial discrimination)... But we embraced "tolerance" of a whole host of rancid ideas, and as a result discarded the "baby"....as listed above.

I've been around since 1950.

If anything, life has gotten better.

I agree, I love My America. Our political process may be ugly sometimes, our social issues can be ugly as well, but America has always "righted" itself and prospered. We have a "can do" attitude, I would say that there's no room for the nay sayers but that would be antithetical to what this country is all about. Everyone can't be happy at the same time, but through all of this chaos, we ultimately unify when the shit hits the fan (then tell each other to pound sand afterwards).

There's no other country I'd want to live in.
