You are a weak minded fool spouting , corMarxist drivel. Capitalism is a system in which an equal exchange of goods is made and there is a free, unfettered market not controlled by the government. Under Capitalism the individual is rewarded for hard work and laziness is not rewarded. What we are seeing now – what people erroneously call “crony capitalism” is anything but. It is fascism, corporatism.

This is what happens when, like under Mussolini and Hitler, Juan Perone and others like them, use corporations controlled and financed by the government to reward their friends and punish their enemies. Obama is a dictator who has embraced the so-called “third way”, the transition station between a Democratic Republic and a Communist police state. Even China and Germany are saying this. If you are smart you will push back hard and push back now or start making plans to leave the country.

I totally agree with you that the middle class is disappearing. Thats because we are relying on companies and not ourselves. There is only one person that can make a difference in your life and that is you. Entrepreneurship and owning your own business doing something your passionate about and love will be the next wave going into the next generation. America was founded on the entrepreneurial spirit and we’ve lost touch with that. We also need to focus in on a self directed leadership education in where the service to each other, our neighbors, improving our marriages is put on the top list of our priorities. We also need to recapture our freedoms and be proud to have GOD on our currency and in our hearts instead of worrying if it will offend a small minority of people in this country. One person at a time we need to bring our country back to wear it once was. We all need to do our part. Lets stop with this chicken little sky is falling and make things happen. Its up to us now as Americans, lets show them what were truly made of.

workers not valued? how about “workers are valued as a liability,” instead? i find it amusing that people complain and are shocked by this current event, but guess what? this is capitalism at its finest. this is precisely why capitalism is a horrible historic phenomena–meaning, it is historical, but not eternal/natural. if you want labor to be meaningful, get rid of capitalism. in the past 80 years, there’s a reason why “workers were valued”: governments and the most wealthy of society did not want a revolution, and so they implemented “reforms” to reign in the inhumane aspects of capitalism–that is, until the wealthy wanted to again try their hand at taking more, while paying workers less. the conditions that are arising today will again lead to the historic conditions that influenced marx to write his treatise on ‘capital.’

let it sink deep within your brains: THE CONDITION WHEREBY WORKERS ARE TREATED LIKE ****** IS THE CONDITION MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY CAPITALISTS. for example, small business owners, let’s say your business does well for a while, whereby you can pay your workers well while accumulating a steadily increasing return/salary/etc. let’s say the “economy” tanks and your return/salary/etc. diminishes to the point whereby you are taking in an average return/salary/etc. that reflects the common pay of your workers. eventually, you’ll want to cut the wages/salaries of your workers so that you can get a bigger slice of the pie, thereby deteriorating the condition of existence for the worker so that a higher profit can be attained. this is why capitalism will NEVER satisfy needs; capitalism will always destroy human life. such is why workers are no longer “valued.”

Actually you’re wrong and it’s unlikely you could land a job at McDonalds. Perhaps you remember the one-day job fair that brought in 950,000 applications. They hired barely one-half of one-percent of those applicants. You’d have better luck applying to be a member of the Beatles.

My point about the college (before I strayed ) was that even with credentials and degrees and certificates their is only a few areas where those jobs will be lucrative, Healthcare, Politics if your in with the good ole boys and service. We don’t need a community with 20 million in IT or 25 million in management you still end up with market over saturated with educated people and THEIR ARE NO JOBS FOR THEM! Fill these kids heads with the fictitious lie of the American dream for a reality check of a mountain of college debt that you can’t file bankruptcy on and job working at Walmart or the Quickiemart it’s disgusting.
I’m all for education , but what’s the point if you can’t utilize the skills you have learned to earn a decent living. Someone studying Native American Culture will definitely be in the $7.50 to $13.50 pay scale with an approximate $90 to $130 thousand dollars of college debt.LMAO
Good luck with that hope you know someone on the inside.

I work in a small business that is established in my community although
It’s just about steady no late hours or business banging on the door.
In the last five years I have had one small raise that has been obliterated by rising costs in energy, food, gasoline, and yes phone and Internet are extras it’s commonplace in today’s world. Yes I could cut more corners and squeeze a few more dollars here and there.
Why do i need to keep making concessions for the failure of TPTB,
It’s really more than just annoying at this point. Everyone wants you to lock in on a 2 year agreement just to save a few bucks. The food I buy if it’s the same price their is less product (coffee your not tricking anyone with your smaller containers and yet the price has increased by
$3 dollars in the last year and a half) gas $1.89 a gallon to $3 plus for the last several years ……..so yeah I do what I can in this enviroment
to make the most of my dollars. But why should I? I know do what you can for down the road.I don’t understand what the big push for college education is especially for profit colleges just Education Management Corp. They have an 11 billion dollar lawsuit against them for predatory lending and less than standard education. I suppose nothing will come of it’s since it is owned by Goldman Sachs and both Obama and Romney have a personal stake in it, not to mention other senators and representatives. I was watching an webisode of Peter Schiff and he made an interesting point if everyone in America would by one ounce of physical silver it would collapse this fiat ponzi scheme……Hmmmmm….
Sounds like we could induce our own shift instead of waiting for others to puppeteer our demise. But again to many sheeple on board with the status quo. I’m pissed and tired of working my tail off to make ends meet , never had a problem with doing my part it’s when my part keeps chasing my tail in a circle and digging a whole from the round and round, that gets under my skin I should be rewarding myself for my achievements not making more concessions. As far as the jobs predicament nobody within the scope of power is gonna do anything to really change things for the better . Unless you can invent the “GOOGENFLARBEN” and put 45 million people to work making this godsend product,sales,service,manufacturing and resale nothing is gonna change in America the candlestick chart will keep pushing downward until it bottoms out and their is no more room to plummet.
Then some , many or all doomsday scenarios will come to fruition.
If the agenda of our so called Mickey Mouse leaders cared about us the 99%ers it would not be like this period!!!!!! …….So……Now…….it becomes more apparent that we as a community of 99%ers have to take back our country and way of life but again in my guesstamation only about 20% of those 99%ers actually give a ******.
Were screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it didn’t have to be that way. We INVENTED the assembly line (thanks, Henry Ford! and mass production. There have only been 12 men who have walked on the moon, all of them American. We’ve had our faults, to be sure. (Contrary to popular belief, the Hoover vacuum cleaner was not named after President Herbert Hoover, even though he sucked big time as Prez.)

Did we collectively just let it go, or just gave up? I think we just got too complacent. We rested on our laurels, and in the meantime, China and India gained ground. Yeah, we used to be the kings of the world. And the Chicago Cubs were once world champions of baseball, too. That was in 1908.

**Breaking news: The U.S. debt has now surpassed $16 trillion. GASP!!!!
