Spikegirl:
You got an on the money for that! Thanks Ev!

Politicians aren't ruining this country. For that, we must go to our American roots of genius - F. Scott Fitzgerald. (A drunk, yes. A genius still!!) Money is what is breaking this country. When Bear Stearnes collapsed, I couldn't help but laugh. Some of the women here who go to the gym where I workout stood in front of televisions hugging each other. These gamblers, for that is what stock/stock markets are, thought they could get away with making money by lying, stealing and making promises. While I love the United States dearly, I think this was a good lesson. The morons and the greedy people won't figure it out, but Fitzgerald was right. Money will end anyone, even a well-meaning person like Jay Gatsby!

As long as politicians go to the money, they won't be serving this country. Honestly, America is making the Arab Emirates and Saudis richer than anyone here in the USA. Everyone is going abroad to do business and even buy real estate. So so sad. I want it to be the 80's again.... this shouldn't be happening to America. As an immigrant, and the child of immigrants, it's really sad to see the native land winning over the good old USA.

people are going abroad to do business because this country is unfriendly to business, particularly in comparison to our global counterparts.  it's not as profitable to do business here as it needs to be.  also, the burgeoning 3rd world economies around the world are stuffed with people who want to work in factories for $1000 per year so their bosses (some of whom are american) can sell garbage in walmart.

my wife and i are good examples of what's happening.  the moroccan economy is BOOMING at a rate of about 6.5% annual growth.  we plan to save our pennies for a few years and then move back to morocco to buy a house and start a business.  i would never consider a brick and mortar business in the usa.  the american people are are too taxed, too litigious, and too eager to see the government take from those who have more.  how has your personal life EVER been enhanced because some rich guy got fucked by the government?  it hasn't.

barack obama can go to hell and take his fucking presidential campaign with him.  he is NOT change, nor is he the solution to the problem.  he is an ultra leftist business hater who wants to impose egregious, confiscatory tax burdens on those who make "too much" money.  he admitted he is unaware his proposal to double capital gains taxes would affect over 50% of americans.  he is uninformed, naive, poorly educated, surrounded by leftist radicals, and unable to speak coherently without a teleprompter.  please cite for me ONE of obama's political positions that haven't been proposed by leftists in this country for 60 years.  he is nothing new, people.  same old story.

some of you who read my comments on obama will naturally conclude i must be a mccain supporter.  please don't insult me.

If you tax rich people too much, they have to fire employees. Poor people rarely have employees, they just loose their jobs. Less jobs means less income, less income equals less taxes. Less gross national product. More taxes hurt everyone. Except the few who manage to scam the government, but there will be less for them to scam. The government needs to learn how to use what it already has more effectively, it's so damn wasteful. You can ask almost any sector that gets some type of government funding what happens when they don't spend every dime they are issued. They get less money, yet if they spend all of their money they will the same or even more money the next time around, even if they wasted the money, as long as they wasted it all.

The majority of business is not evil, regardless of how many people believe and say so. The two richest Americans have given away so much, Bill Gates is responsible for so many jobs, directly and indirectly. Rich people create jobs, at least the ones that created large fortunes, versus those who inherit, and even some of those create more wealth and jobs, less so though. I'm not rich, I'm not even financially secure, but I can easily see the needed value of rich people. I've never taken government money, no matter how badly I could have used it. I've both worked for myself and for others, neither one has made me successful yet. I sure don't put any blame on the rich for not being where I want to be. You just keep trying, until you get where you want to go.

A lot of people claim about jobs being stolen from them, the truth is, a lot of those stolen jobs simply would cease to exist for anyone if they didn't leave American soil. Unions have helped price some Americans right out of being an economically viable choice as an employee.

Frys Girl:
*sigh* This is depressing. Fucking depressing. People like Michael are leaving the USA. George Noory hosts the only good show on radio (except Big O and Dukes - check 'em out on iTunes). My uncle, a lawyer, is being sued by a fellow lawyer. This country, what is left for it? All I have faith in is Axl Rose releasing the new GNR album, and that's stretching it a bit. P.S. Obama sucks too, but he would probably host Coast to Coast better than Snoory.
