"We're talking about addressing the disparity of income where the wealthy people continue to get wealthier and some other people are falling out of the middle class when we want to bring many more people into the middle class. But that disparity is not just about wages alone, that disparity is about ownership and equity. It's all about fairness in our country"

- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

I can't discuss economics seriously without discussing dark pools and derivatives, any discussion of equality on the pure basis of a puppet fiat currency is futile...

But honestly, I'll tell you two things that don't work: Links and Videos.

No one follows links, and no one watches videos. If you want feedback on an item, post a snippet of text. Short and readable.

Kinda like I offered above ?

The video is less than a minute. Not the 3 hour long documentaries that 'some' try to post on here.

Wasting YOUR breath, on this one.

Not even the most arden Democrat gives a shit what Pelosi, Reid, or Frank have to say, and they'd be happy to be rid of em save that corrupt dimwitted useless baggage that they are - they're still seen as an effective roadblock since the party that would like to replace them is both insane and has serious, obvious malicious intent.

Why else do you think they grudgingly tolerate such useless sacks of incompetent shit ?

When y'all come up with someone who isn't
A. Insane.
B. Blatantly displaying nefarious intent.
C. Going to start WWIII
D. Did I mention insane ?

Then maybe you stand a chance of deposing the useless incompetent shitbags, but so long as you're trying to replace em with folk who'd gleefully turn this planet into a radioactive wasteland, you're just wasting your time, cause it's not like anyone doesn't *KNOW* those folk are useless incompetent scum.

I just like the part where the civil servant with a net worth of multi millions is telling how she's for 'fairness of equity', and that she is going to see to it that the disparities are corrected.

Heck, I'm still waiting to see one of the congresscritters who keep harping about how we need to "cut federal spending" propose a cut in their own pay or benefits.

That'll probably happen the day after they stop taking all the farm subsidies and other welfare "handouts" they're so against, right?

Meanwhile, I'd love to see Pelosi and Reid replaced; I just hoped it would be in a palace coup, and they'd be replaced by their own party.

Odds that Reid remains in power ( assuming he wins re-election ) if the Dems keep the Senate ?

Rap,

Sorry, I wrote that response directly after reading the first post, before you posted the second post. Check the times. I didn't write that response in 19 seconds.

Now to your snippet. The snippet is meaningless. That's what all politicians say. It's how they intend to do it that matters. Of course, they don't intend to do it at all, they want to sneak themselves more power under the name of doing it.

The reality is that there is a disparity, and that 99% or so of that disparity came from one of two sources: Inheritance and theft.

I agree that there should be a free market based on enterprise, work, etc. But it's really based on the ability of people to manipulate govt. to steal money, and you genetic unbroken connection to those people. I have ancestors who were billionaires, on my dad's side, it was taken by the Nazis, on my mom's, he left it to Harvard (gee, thanks). So, I grew up penniless. I'm middle class now because I work my butt off. But I know many people who were just born millionaires. They never ever worked, and never will, and will always have it better and have more power and influence than I do.

Frem,

You have less chance of getting the democrats to see reason than I do of getting Rap to. ;)

Also, hey, I grew up on Ramen. Took about an hour of work to make enough money for some Ramen noodles, which was pretty good. Free market at work. Good thing I was too far from the evil eye to be not able to work.

Hey, I ain't mockin Ramen, shit dude, when he passed away, I put Momofuku Ando in my freakin pantheon (this is not a jest, I am dead serious), and I think he should be canonised as a Saint for his efforts to bring affordable, life sustaining food to everyone.

So in my opinion he rocks on right next to Bastet, Ceres, Parvati and all the other harvest gods since he did in fact pull it off, a product which requires no culinary skill, nothing more than water and a source of heat (if that, cause I've known more than one college student to eat the damn things dry) to produce effective food.

For the third consecutive year, Congressional pay raises have been halted due in part to a charge lead by Representative Ron Paul and Arizona Rep. Harry Mitchell, arguing that Congressional pay raises are not appropriate while Americans continue to struggle.

Texas Representative Ron Paul
“We should not be padding our pocketbooks when our constituents are still tightening their belts and losing their jobs,” stated Ron Paul. “As well, we could continue with this symbolic first step and stop increasing taxes, expanding the federal budget, and spreading our military so thin. These additional measures would do much to begin our economic recovery.”

I believe Reid will lose his seat, but the Dems will still maintain a majority in the Senate. A smaller majority requiring more Republican crossovers to pass anything, but still a majority.

The House is gone for Democrats, but Pelosi will still be there gracing us all with her superior wisdom and charm.
