Companies not screw over their most loyal employees? Shocking concept I know.

Such is capitalism

It's actually pretty easy, but politics (as usual) gets in the way.

Idiots Stereotypes exist for a reason

Politicians goals - 1) get elected 2) stay elected 3) get his friends elected to powerful positions 4) make money . . . . . 985) help the American people

I never said ghetto black people

Politically incorrect opinion I know most of the republicans on this board agree with but won't publicly say - I have no problem whatsoever if the purge really occurred in the ghetto areas and the idiots kill each other off (faster than they already do)

Politicians gonna politic

Skimmed through it. Here's my thoughts - Wealth inequality is a very serious issue, and it's current at levels last seen before the Great Depression. No, I'm not saying give free money to the poor. I repeat, I am not saying give free money to the poor. Again, I am not saying give free money to the poor. I know plenty of poor people and they all make extremely terrible financial decisions. Throwing them more money would be an absolute waste. The real issue in this country is a shrinking MIDDLE CLASS. All the income growth goes to the very top (0.1%) while Bob Smith hasn't got a raise in 3 years (not even for COLA), his benefits cut, less vacation days and is now doing the workload of 2 people. All in the name of maximizing shareholder profits while fat cat CEO is laughing to the bank. Fat cat CEO knows his employees are underpaid and overworked but doesn't care because the supply of labor is in his favor. Bob Smith doesn't like his compensation? There's 1000 more qualified applicants ready to take over, even at a paycut. The economy needs a strong middle class to function properly, and the middle class has been steadily shrinking for decades now. We're on borrowed time.

HE AINT DO NUFFIN

My parents never gave me the talk about police, it was sort of ingrained in the neighborhood and school I went to. I still go out of my way to avoid police as much as possible, even when I'm not doing anything wrong

I don't want to get into too much detail on this topic, NSA is watching

I love how smitty "liked" your post after he comes in the warning topic STILL calling people low information voters.

I believe otherwise. Those police officers will follow their orders just like the nazis did, until the tide is at a clear turning point. The threat of being tried for treason will be enough to deter them from deserting.

That's why I'm moderate. You have to be a complete idiot to think either party is superior to the other.

Not so much in America, yet, but overseas there seems to always be some foreign country killing its own citizens. Middle East uprisings, Ukraine , etc.

In afraid were headed down a dangerous path under the guise of combating the "bad guys".

I don't believe it's in the best interests of citizens if the police have all the latest and greatest toys. Sure, it's warranted now because of the reason for the riots. But what happens in year 2045 and the citizens want to overthrow a corrupt government? Do you trust the government to not open fire on citizens when that day comes?

Try reading the original post.

That's what you get for listening to Stevenash and smitty =D . I kid I kid. I'm fairly moderate despite what they say. I am a supporter of riots where there is cause however (corrupt govt, etc)

True, I'm not trying to convince anyone just wanted to hear opinions. In my opinion, Women tend to base their decisions and actions based off their feeeeeeelingsss while men tend to be more rational. Therefore, you'll never convince women no matter what, even if absolute valid proof was found.

The real question is - how can Americans hold our politicians accountable? Americans wants to kick everyone out of congress except for "their guy".

Ahh yes, I agree. But even in my scenario I don't think it's fair (assuming consumption means consumer goods)

Quoting in case he edits it later.
