Your liberal banter is very entertaining! Do you actually believe that
paying down the debt by taxing the rich will make the lives of the poor
any better? And your article fails to mention the RECORD GDP. The
national debt grows every year, just as I pay more taxes every year,
because my income grows. Its how things work.


And your "so what" attitude is precisely what will drive this nation
into eventual bankruptcy. Our national debt is approaching EIGHT
TRILLION DOLLARS, and Americans are already working three
hours of every 8-hour workday just to pay INTEREST on this debt.

Read the article I cited in my first response. We're impoverishing
ourselves and our grandkids.

The reason the "gap" is growing is because the economy is booming.


It's "booming" with **** service sector jobs. Real wages are and
have been on the decline.

Those with investments, such as owning a home, prosper, those will
nothing stay poor. Bush's idea is an "ownership society", which at
least addresses the issue.


So you'll need to explain the record number of home foreclosures
and personal bankruptcies since Bush's "home ownership" ruse.
Personal wealth isn't increasing; mortgage lending standards are
simply being thrown out the window to give the illusion of more
home ownership. The fact is, as interest rates edge up, most of
these people are going to lose "their" homes.

Are you kidding? Companies are outsourcing $8/hour phone

as an excuse. Absolutely outrageous.

Another uninformed liberal (sigh). Unlike your "manufacturing" jobs,
computer programmers have quantifiable skills. If you are a REALLY bad
programmer, you may lose your job to outsourcing. But there are a lot
more jobs than there are good programmers. I know many programmers,
almost none of them I would call "good", and most of them make a lot
more than you can make working a manufacturing job. In fact, to me most
of them are patently incompetent.

Again, if you are bad at your job, you have no reason to believe you
can keep doing it. Thats what's wrong with the manufacturing union
model; the concept that everyone is the same and worth equal pay for
the same job is simply anti-competitive.

Well, you're wrong about outsourcing of technology jobs. Paying an
incompetent programmer 50K per year is not productive for companies. If
a company needs 300 programmers for a project that doesn't require
superior design skills, the cost of finding 300 competent programmers
is astronomical. Its not like finding a guy to hammer stone or to weld
a joint. You have to fly guys in. You have to spend 100s of hours
interviewing. It takes months to get them acclaimated. You have to pay
top dollar. Moving costs. Its too much.

Good programming jobs stay here. Its all about being worth the going
rate of pay. Manufacturing jobs are being moved out because the cost of
an employee to do a job that anyone can do is too high. Would you pay
someone $300. to clean your house? (depends on the size of your house,
I guess). If thats the going rate, you get an illegal or you do it
yourself. Everything has a value. When the cost becomes greater than
the value you have to figure out something else.

It's not anyone's fault except the person who took out a loan they

sometimes wrong. People who can afford a 200K house routinely buy 350K

Give us a break. In your wonderful Bush "boom economy", 55%
of American families are living from ****ing paycheck to paycheck.
Actually "living" is not the right word for it. Surviving or subsisting
are more accurate descriptions.

Credit card debt is at an all-time high, and savings are at an
all-time low. There's the bottom line on your "boom economy".

It's not anyone's fault except the person who took out a loan they
couldn't pay.


To the contrary, when lenders throw standards out the window
and start lending money to people who they know will likely be
unable to pay it back, they're as guilty as the borrowers. In fact
moreso, because it's simple human nature to try and live according
to (and often beyond) one's means. Just look at our current
federal government for a perfect example.

I mean no offence, but you must be hanging around a bunch of losers. I'm not

LESS than they were 4 or 5 years ago are the ones that have retired. The
other few are ones that worked at jobs that they were not very good at and
had to take a lesser paying job that they WERE good at.

In Florida the average annual income went down $7000 last year. Why? The
higher paying jobs left and now all there is left is the malls, the fast
foods, etc.. The only jobs that are left that pay are service type jobs and
not all people have the skills or talents for that.

Me too, and I'll participate.

I happen to be in a field (medical transcription) in which maybe half of the
jobs have been outsourced, primarily to India. There is still plenty of
work left for us Americans; however, the rates have dropped by as much as
half in the past 5 years or so due to outsourcing to a country where people
can live comfortably on $100 a month. Thanks to software I've purchased
which increases my production, I personally have not noticed any decrease in
my hourly pay. My income is less, but that's because I choose not to work
as many hours as I once did. On the other hand, my son-in-law, who holds a
masters degree in Information Systems and started his own business seven
years ago, has seen his income cut by half thanks to outsourcing.

The problem with your complaint/analysis is that giving these "people"

certainly not be better under democratic rule; you'd just have more
hand-outs to poor people. At least now they're trying to find work. The

people more money to spend.

When is the "middle class" going to figure out that you lose when you
try to take down your bosses? As a business owner, you raise my taxes
and I'm going to cut my costs. That means laying someone off. Hiring
part-time people instead of full-time. I'll be less generous with
raises. I'll get a health plan with lesser coverage. You complained
under Clinton that the "jobs" weren't good jobs. You just don't get it,
maybe because you just need to be angry with someone. Anyone.


Credit card debt is at an all-time high, and savings are at an
all-time low. There's the bottom line on your "boom economy".

It's not anyone's fault except the person who took out a loan they
couldn't pay.


To the contrary, when lenders throw standards out the window
and start lending money to people who they know will likely be
unable to pay it back, they're as guilty as the borrowers. In fact
moreso, because it's simple human nature to try and live according
to (and often beyond) one's means. Just look at our current
federal government for a perfect example.


Perhaps they are, but its the people who make the choice to overextend
themselves. People take drugs, don't blame the dealers. People borrow
too much, don't blame the banks for trying to make money. People buy
SUVs that get crappy gas milage, don't blame the automakers. People
have more kids than then can afford, don't blame sex-education. Blame
people. People are stupid. That you can write down. Some "people" in
this ****ty house with a broken down car on my way to work just put in
a $2000 stained glass door. Do you think they NEED that to live? No,
some woman "wanted" it. Stupid people. I'm sure they'll be filing for
bankruptcy (and making the taxpayers pay for their nice door) as soon
as the economy turns.

The mantra in the US seems to be "Carpe Diem". Those are the people
with the problems; the biggest whiners of all. Because they didn't plan
for their future. Too bad for them. I'm not responsible for paying for
their irresponsibility.

We haven't been attacked again and I have plenty of gas for my car,
albeit not cheap gas. At least things are getting done, unlike the Dems
just raising taxes with no feasible plan to use the funds. Any party
that has a main strategy of "getting the votes of the angry poor by
sticking it to the rich" has no place in power. Let them come up with
some ideas rather than criticisms and maybe they'll get a chance


Sticking it to the rich? Dear God almighty, I think you actually
believe that.

The largest transfers of wealth -- from the poor to the rich --
in the history of the world occurred under Reagan, and is now
occurring under Bush, with equally catastrophic consequences
for our economy:

You people are so misguided!! Reagan and Bush made us poorer???!!! HMPH!!!
Bill Clinton do anything for me either!


I think I'm registered as a Republican, but when Clinton was in office
the freaking burger joints were paying signing bonuses. Something good
was going on.

Blame the media for our futility in War. Every time someone dies we
have to read about it on page 1. You don't win wars by pussy-footing on
eggshells. People are going to die. The vietnamese played the media to
"win", by putting their factories next to schools, knowing that public
sentiment from fat-assed liberals like you would be up in arms if a
child was killed. We killed children in Hiroshima to save thousands of
American lives. If you have to fight a war in the media you're dead
before you start.

The media killed a lot of people in Viet-nam. Just like they're killing
americans in Iraq by publicising the kidnappings and showing the tapes
and steering public sentiment against our troops.

Why should someone getting 52 weeks of unemployment insurance take a
lousy job at a burger joint? Now we make them work. Thats whats
different now. No more hand-outs. You don't have to lure people off of
unemployment with "signing bonuses", (which causes burgers to be more
expensive). Its good for everyone.

Coming from someone who posts profanity and has nothing even remotely
useful to say, I'm sure many will care what you think.

So they'll quit posting and perpetuating their OT political bull****
opinions in a home repair news group. Now STFU and make that a double
cheeseburger, no onions.

perhaps if democrats would do something other than complain someone
would pay attention to them? Its easy to find fault. The Republicans
win elections because they propose solutions. Maybe you don't like
their solutions. But all democrats do is take our money and squander it
on some inefficient program that has no chance at success. I doubt that
you believe that any of what you are complaining about would be better
under a different president. The government is inefficient. Thats why
you should be against higher federal taxes. They waste our money. That
goes for Republicans or Democrats. At least the republicans admit it.

Perhaps if stump stupid asswipes such as yourself would find on-topic
newsgroups to spout their worthless opinions in someone would pay
attention. FO.

Thats brilliant, Rusty. When the economy is booming teenagers, the
uneducated and those that can only work 14 hours a week get magically
elevated to paralegals and computer programmers.

Maybe the kids in CT get more allowance than they can make at burger
king in CT? Or maybe wealthy parents would rather that their kids not
work until 3AM at a place with a 32yo ex-con as the manager?

Get a clue.

It's time for you to rethink again. Why trust the gods that destroy so many
lives and with hurricanes, earthquake and wars? Why gives monies to
the evil men that teaches murder, assassination?

My advice pray to yourself and your stomach.

Gussy. Who would listen to a foul-mouthed moron like you?
