JT, you have every reason to be outraged. All of us should be. I still believe in the free market economy and it's capacity to succeed, as long as government will get the hell out of the way. I won't even start in on our own City Leaders and their complete ineptitude.
Jeffrey, have you ever looked at your paycheck and noticed just how much you pay to welfare each year? And then go to your grocery store and see what JT is talking about. Or drive out to "that side of town" and see all the Lexus, SUV's, HUmmers, etc parked in front of the section 8 housing. It's an outrage. The government limits benefits for women on welfare only up to child #12. TWELVE CHILDREN WE'RE PAYING FOR! The system has always been broken and will always be broken. It's time to get rid of the system. And that goes for all these big businesses that keep running shady deal after shady deal. If they can't run a clean business and still make money, then they don't need to be in business. Plain and simple. I don't care how many people lose their jobs because of it. When you continue to bail people out for being crooked it creates a whole generation of people (like we have right now) with no sense of responsibility and no sense of consequence to their actions. If there were no bailout, i assure you, the businesses of the world would think twice about cooking their books, or acting in some way that would jeopardize their financial future. Instead we just pump more money into bad business thinking it will change things. Bullshit. FOUL!! It simply will not work and we will be paying for it for the rest of our lives and we'll be leaving our children a mountain of debt like nothing the world has ever seen.
That's the end of my two cents for the day.
Ciao.
