re: Capitalism. While I agree, I think we've moved past the model of true Capitalism a long time ago. What do they call it when a particular class sets the rules everyone else has to play by? Oh yeah- "Oligarchy." |

Undue influence, yes. Oligarchy? No. Russia is a far better example of that. |

Personally, I can't wait until the adults are back in power.
First order of business: undo all the crap that the previous administration and the 111th congress did. |

The more interviews I see with these protestors, the more abundantly clear it becomes that "We are the 99%" refers to the fact that 99% of them have no f'n clue what they are even protesting.
I have heard a few valid points among the masses of stupidity but as far as I can tell, this is nothing more than a bunch of lazy, entitled, drains on society, who feel like they are owed something simply for existing. |

I'm not convinced unions are the root of the problem, any more than I think they're part of the solution. Blaming unions is like blaming the KKK for previous racism in this country. They're an easy target, but the issue is much deeper and more complex than that.

I was going to stay out of this cat fight, but damn.
Here is reality: Corporations have, over the past 4 months, moved over $900 billion out of the USA. I am well aware of this as I assisted many corporations over the past three months in doing just this. Reason - they foresaw the stupidity of the present situation (protest on Wall St) and understand that the probability exists that Congress, and BHO, are going to find a method to tax idle corporate cash. Before Y/E 2012 there will be an additional $1 trillion shipped off- shore. Money 'parked' off- shore, and duly protected, can result in NO USA taxation. Additionally these monies will go far in further eliminating the work force base in the US - the simple reason; embedded cost (wages, HC, etc.), and restrictions (I.e., EPA, etc.) are so restrictive that adding additional manufacturing capacity in the USA is absolutely a non- starter. VC (venture capital) money has followed suit. Is there any good news? Yes, but a lot of USA policies will need complete overhaul. As will certain state local government long term debt and CODB (cost of doing business). With these addressed it is possible that a reverse trend will occur. Don't bet on it. |

The only good politician is one that really does not want the job.
The hard part would be getting them to serve. |
