There is nothing compassionate about a conservative Republican. Their theory – in a nutshell – is this: If you are in a hole, you probably have no one to blame but yourself, so look to yourself to get out of it. And if you didn’t acer btp-43d1 battery,acer travelmate 220 battery put yourself there, why should you expect the government to get you out? (Those are tax dollars better spent on businesses and the war machine.)

Junior Achievement is a volunteer driven, non-profit organization. This year more than 2,000 business professionals, parents, retirees and college students will enter our schools to teach Junior Achievement programs. These volunteers use their personal experiences to make the Junior Achievement curricula practical and realistic. Providing children with positive adult role models, who illustrate ways to build self-confidence, develop skills and find avenues of success in our free enterprise system, is a hallmark of Junior Achievement.

We don’t know whether or not any non-wealthy people, say representatives and members of Junior Achievement, will be there. What we do know is it makes sense for tickets to be expensive – don’t you want as much as possible to be raised for this organization? And, here’s who they’re honoring:

Charlie Valluzzo of McDonald’s is the Hall of Fame Inductee; Lee Domingue of AppOne is the Businessperson of the Year; Louis DeAngelo Jr. of Louis DeAngelo Restaurants is the Young Businessperson of the Year; Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Corporation was named Company of the Year (100 or more employees) and Window World of Baton Rouge is the Company of the Year (less than 100 employees).

I’m sure the people honored consider themselves “wealthy Americans,” huh?

Talking is not going to help people who are in poverty. Your indifference to the ingnored is duly noted. If you truly wanted to help fix many of the injustices, you had a perfect opportunity at the Hall of Fame Banquet. Part of the proceeds could have been donated to the poorest sections of New Orleans.

John, you did as we all expected you to do completely ignore, with your indifference, the people that need your help the most.

To be a Republican is your heart excised before or after you take office?

StratRat….
On your flat tax thingy what would the percentage of your income be that you would be willing to give to Nancy and Harry to spend?

10%. As you earn more, you pay more. Have a income floor for those who work, but don’t bring home very much $$$ above the poverty line. At the top end, have a sliding scale which taxes at a higher percentage those who earn over a stated amount (say $5 million). The middle class must survive and prosper for democracy to endure.

FLIP-FLOPS

For the details, see:
“McCain Turns to Bush 2000 Formula.”

Does John McCain realize that the perpetrators of this neglect and indifference, in large part, are none other than the current Republican administration, and the Republican leadership of the past twenty years?

The hubris and irony on this are just too much.
