The philosophy, "from each according to their means, efforts and ability, to each according to their needs, while keeping a very large chunk of it for the entitled who run the process" has never been a successful community process. Hippie communes were run like that and pretty soon the workers got sick of the stoned bludging layabouts who spent their time having sex with the workers' girlfriends. <If life were fair, every American and each illegal would be paying taxes for work performed. > It's not fashionable to think it, let alone say it, but since women and those who have not contributed anything started voting, the cultural impetus to work, save, invest, produce has declined. Women are more concerned about "fair" and "share" than men who a quick examination of any sport will show are far more competitive, energized, powerful, productive, determined and will do down fighting. Note that the current recession is called the men's recession. That's because women are in the cozy jobs nestled in kleptocratic sources of cash. Nurses, teachers, government departments by the horde are all good places for women to be caring and sharing. Blokes are out there in the Gulf drilling for oil But now Obama and his environmentally ignorant lady friends have decided that that's "too icky and pollutes the air with CO2 and the ozone layer and stuff like that", so they are shutting it down = not letting a perfectly good crisis go to waste.

Obama Benefits from Women's Vote The results of the election for President of the United States held on November show that 56 percent of women voted for Barack Obama compared with 49 percent of men. According to Dr. Heida Hartmand, founder of the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), "This 7-point gender gap combined with women's greater turnout was a major factor in the election's result. The same is true in some key battleground states, where women were also the majority of voters."

The women were one quarter of voters in the state compared with Latino men who made up 16 percent of voters.> Mqurice
