Dear SETI, I have found The Aliens and they are here on this forum. You Gots to be from Another World to Believe in Take Take Take.

99% of the people you are talking to are giving.
Guess when you hitched across the good ol US in the 70s, you didn't walk a mile in anybody's shoes but your own.
Guess you missed out on the jog with Forrest, eh?

This thread is about the forth coming election in a small, insignificant country somewhere on the wrong side of the Atlantic., NOT the how/who/where various people from other insignificant countries have hidden their money.
Get back on topic or the topic will be heading into the invisibility of the freezer.

In the beginning, this that and the other thing was created, and this made a lot of people angry, because they didn't want this, or that, or the other thing, or some combination of all three, or wanted someone else entirely.
Some happening really zarkingfarkworthy dude (or dudette) came up with a solution to make everyone happy, which involved little green slips of paper and moving them around, but in general the little green slips of paper were feeling just fine, while the people moving them around found little joy in the transactions.
Briefly, the powers-that-be decided to demote Pluto to a dwarf planet as a way to wag the dog and divert people's attention. (Surprisingly, this trivial thing has met with large success!)
Meanwhile, back on Earth, people are scratching their heads over the above comment (and threat) for discussing one of the campaign issues IN THE SAME COUNTRY in question (whether it should be a campaign issue or not, IT IS one), with the poster acting as if people have dragged things off topic (as if they're talking about people from some other country) when in fact they have NOT.
Seriously: just which country, which election and which person do you think they're talking about?!?
Mark asked, what shall we do about Obama. When people respond with comments about someone's money (a US citizen's money) hidden in accounts in other countries, we know who they are talking about, and we know they have strong doubts about the main alternative against Obama that is being provided.
That sure as heck IS on topic.
Now, if you believe the attacks against Romney are unfair, not being presented in full context,whatever, you can discuss that. Explain to Mark and others why you think Romney is an acceptable choice ... IF you believe that. Because, again, Mark asked what do about Obama.

What is being overlooked is that all the cash the "1%" have is sitting in share portfolios, hedge funds and off shore bank accounts. It is not being used to "create jobs".

If they got off their backsides and invested in actually producing something rather than speculation then the "dribble down" theory might have some validity.

The more money that is tied up in the hands of a few, the less there is available for the rest to spend on anything but the essentials of food and shelter. This effects a wide range of manufacturers of non-essential goods and retailers who then either have to cut staff/close down. Thus the downward spiral continues

The "money" is not sitting in an account. It went to purchase a stock, bond or commodity future. The issuer of these instruments receive capital which it invests in plant, people and equipment. If cash sits in a bank --it isn't really there; it has been lent to someone to buy a house --an action that also creates capital.

I am not so much a democrate as I am anti republican...as I have only meet a few hardcore liberals in my entire 35 years on this planet but have meet fare to many right wing crazys like you.


Broheim, I do Feel The Love.

OBlahBlahBlah and His Zombies living on The Economic Plantation, with its Enabler Overloads living outside, will vote Wholeheartily for him. Notice at The DNC, only these people are the Audience of Their Speeches. Not the whole of America. Pitiful.

At The RNC, The Whole of America were being Spoke to. To let Everyone know they can be Free to Work and have Their American Dream. Through REAL Leadership and Fiscal Responsibility/Fiscal Stewardship. A way to Leave The Communist/Socialist/DEMLib Economic Plantation.

You need to go read a book.


My Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade teachers in Germany did a Great Job teaching me to read. And with A Library in my home of 4000 books, I do them proud.

So, I will continue to believe the 99% can be released from Their Incarceration from The Economic Plantation(perpetuated by The Enabler Overloads-OBlabby Incorporated and their Entitlement Subsidiaries).

R & R for America.

WM, capital is defined as a tool used to make something. The word is often misused by lay people. A house is the product of the three factors of production, land, labor and capital. That is the only correct answer in all economics classes. To belabor the point, a house is consumption.

Wm, further thought on you post concerning the use of the word investment. An investment is only the purchase of new capital. Building a new factory is a capital investment, purchasing an existing factory is not. The capital investment was made at the time of construction.

As Long As The OBlabby Gravy Train is still running, they wait for The Moola to be Handed Out.

Once Election Night sees OBlabby Inc. defeated, they will stop being Dogs Looking For Hand-Outs and become Wolves On The Prowl.

And they will start "Building That" will this Large Cache Of Dough everyone says they have.

Once R & R is Leading The Way, ALL WILL KNOW it is Time To Build It with Your Own Minds, Hands, and Money, 'cause The Gravy Train Is Derailed. Daddy Government will Part The Sea and The Chariots Of Industry will be Kicking Up The Dust to The New America. YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Sarge,

The new plants are the Spring Hill expansion for GM and the Nissan add-on here in Murphreesboro Tennessee.-1200 new jobs en toto. Huge new Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga TN thousands of jobs there too. Get the government out of the way and there would be even more.

New homes are a-building all over Middle TN

Where do you live? In a state with high taxes and no right-to-work provisions ??

Come down and visit. I'll cook you a fabulous meal and take you on a tour.

WM, with income stats like :The median income for a household in the city was $39,705, and the median income for a family was $52,654. Males had a median income of $36,078 versus $26,531 for females. The per capita income for the city was $20,219. About 8.2% of families and 14.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.0% of those under the age of 18 and 11.1% of those 65 and older.

So, what do we, as a nation, do about Obama?

The question and how it is worded supposes that Obama is a problem to be dealt with, which is insulting.

Ultimately what kind of government we have, economic system we use, the programs we do or don't pay for, and how large or small or military is don't matter. Sure it may matter today or in a few years but in the scale of history most of what we do has very little effect beyond even the length of our lives. Never mind in a few hundred years. Can you tell me what the tax rate was in 1912? does it really have any bearing what so ever on your life? In 75 years will anyone remember anything about our current our current policies?

However there is one subject that is commonly addressed that will effect us and every generation that follows, The Environment.

The Republican Party and its denial of what has long been established Scientific fact give me no choice.
Global Climate change is real, it is the only issue of real long term importance. Short of thermo nuclear war it is the only issue that will effect my grandchildrens grandchildren.

It informs my vote. As long as the republican party embraces the denial of science I will never vote for them.
