Conservatives, by and large, don’t know shit. It is that simple.

They do not grasp the fundemental basic idea that for a supply and demand economy to work, you need to have people with enough money to actually supply the demand.

They do not realise that paying your workers shit, means your workers will not be able to buy that car, will not be able to pay for that watch, and will not be able to supply jobs for other workers.

Further, Rightwingers such as yourself, who know jack-shit about real life, do not realise that a company is not in it for the workers, if a company can get away with paying its workers less it will. Pay comes out of profits – this is the basic truth of economics you pay what you have to and you charge what you can get away with.

If wages are low, you will not pay more just because you have a good year, you will pay less, and still hire the same number of people, for the smaller amount.

Further, as a matter of truth, here is a little bit of hard learned from actually living on this planet truth for you: CEO’s aren’t there to make a profit. they are there to make the share price go up for the short, generally five year, terms they are in – and if that means screwing the workers, the economy and the planet so be it. They aren’t there for the long haul.

The reason why Republican, rightwing laises faire economic systems (Read a book, look it up, and while you are at it, read up a bit on the great depression) don’t work, is because ultimately anarchy does not work. It is not a reflection of liberalism that you don’t know your shit, it is an accurate indictment of you personally that you posted that drivel without even trying to reason out your bald assertion.

Parrotlover77, it’s simple: They would make the allegation as if it were fact, and ignore all evidence to the contrary.

This is typical of many neo-cons operations. They lie (usually badly) and then claim to be the injured party when they’re proven wrong.

Permanent underclass? You mean the maids of the wealthy?

You’re a completely st*pid c*nt.

Jason – College isn’t for everybody – you’re living proof. My suggestion was “a.) stay in school – if you have dropped out, get back in.” Maybe the best course for the chronically unemployed might be to finish high school and move onto good technical training….plumbers, electricians, mechanics, tile setters, masons earn excellent wages and are in demand.

Of course, the Left has a vested interest in a permanent under-class – they call them “constituents”. Unlike you, I want everyone to do well and have confidence that wonderful opportunities are available. It’s amazing what perserverance and persistence will do. (An aside – are you always soooo negative? No positive feedback from Mom? Your filthy mouth suggests severe Tourettes Syndrome. Are your doctors aware of your malady?)

The average American wage has not risen in six years.

American personal indebtedness is up.

Manufacturing is still stuck in the 50 range (Niether growing nor shrinking.) This is an improvement, however, on the way it shrank up to 2004.

America’s deficit is at historic levels.

America’s national debt is at historic levels.

The only jobs sector over the last six years to have really grown – is the service sector.

America’s major creditor is China, which has just demonstrated how unstable its economy can be, when a rumour of possible reforms being discussed to try and slow its rapid growth – a source for concern for most economists – sent it’s stock exchange plunging to a ten year low. Recognise this was a rumor of a tentative maybe – not solid market forces.

America’s unemployment rate is largely meaningless – it only counts those on benefits, which isn’t the full number of unemployed people in America. Funny thing about Bush’s economy, unemployment started going down before he got those 2 million jobs that were lost in his first year back. Think a statistically significant number of people ran out of benefits maybe?

So excuse me while I avoid American stocks like the plague right now and buy gold.

Grover Norquist wanted to shrink goverment so he could drown it in the bathtub, instead Grover is gonna have to wrestle a wet gorilla who has nearly doubled it’s mass. (35%)

Cheney said, “It would be a serious mistake if a nation like Iran were to become a nuclear power. All options are still on the table.”
Tokyo gold futures then rocketed skyward toward a 21 year high while the dollar was left drowning in the gorillas bubble bath.

Heckuva Job!!

You’ve confused the unemployed, with those eligible for unemployment benefits (what we measure).

Over half of the country has less than a 98 IQ.
We call them “Democrats.”

Yet they vote the “Republic” party.

You’re a dum bass.

Pretty soon he’ll be applying for press secretary.

2004 voting demographics:
Kerry won the under $15K income group in a landslide, 71% to 29%.

So people that have money are gullible. Whats the point here?
