>>Greece is a very extreme case.
>Ah yes, failed socialism, nothing here to see, move along.....
Do you know a damned thing about the Greek economic situation? It's very, very different from ours.
>Convenient, ignore the threats of violence against the AIG families, the longshoremen kidnappings with baseball bats, as long as their on your team, violence is just another method justified to achieve the end. Seriously, you're young, look at history. How do you think class warfare ends?
No, I'm not OK with violence.
>The source? If laws have been broken, throw them in jail. Obama is bought and paid for by WallStreet. Add up how many WallStreet players are in Obama's administration or involved in today's economy. You can't see that? Is (D) and (R) that important to you?
Yes, Obama is in the pocket of Wall Street. But less so than most of the Republicans are. I'd love to see Bernanke, Geithner, and Summers out on their asses, but do you really think a Romney or Perry administration wouldn't have guys like that in their administration, if not, moreso? Hint: Bush appointed Paulson and Bernanke.
>If the far left (D)s continue, you'll win alright. You can be proud of a nation as a whole that looks like Greece today.
There are very, very few far left Democrats in any station of power today.
Once again, there are five people looking for a job for every job opening. There are no jobs.
The fact Obama has destroyed even more jobs during his short term cannot be put on the table by you can it?
Because it isn't true. Incontrovertibly.
>Or should we look at the time line when this country started going to shit when Pelosi and Reid gained power? No, nothing here to see, move along...
What particular policies enacted by Pelosi and Reid caused the economic downturn? I would say that Clinton's guys were just as responsible as Bush for this mess -- the policies put into place that caused this started in about 1994, and Bush continued and exacerbated them. This mess was created long before Reid and Pelosi were in charge of Congress. And yes, Obama can be blamed for bringing many of the Clinton guys into his administration, as well as keeping some of the Bush guys.
>That's where we are at today, partisanship will not allow people like you to even put the problems on the table, let alone discuss ways to turn around the current trend of America racing to match Greece or any other failed socialist state. Go ahead and raise taxes higher, "the rich" will make every effort to pay less and succeed. You said years ago, as long as you made enough money and kept enough for yourself after taxes, the taxes weren't too high. Care to revisit that notion?
Again, the U.S. situation is not very much like Greece, other than a lot of the problem in both countries has been caused by the banksters.
>Or does trillions being embezzled not bother you since you think think embezzling a few more trillion is the solution?
You have a screwy definitition of "embezzlement," Steve.
