Even a great king will not refuse a gift. someone bought you for $70,000 a year... and the rest of the 300 million americas... you work for someone... you sell your labour to them.... so that means they have bought you... you work for them...... just like mr bush... someone has payed him... when you allow politicians to mix with wealthy industilists,,, then expect them politicians bought and payed for... yes it is corruption.... so make a new law that prohibits politicians and wealthy elite from meeting and dealing... the president is just a sales person,, just persuding you to buy into his scams... the goverment has been bought and payed for….

just like mr bush… someone has payed him…

when you allow politicians to mix with wealthy industilists,,, then expect them politicians bought and payed for…

yes it is corruption….
so make a new law that prohibits politicians and wealthy elite
from meeting and dealing…

the president is just a sales person,, just persuding you to buy into his scams…

I have not had a decent paying job all my life and all I hear is "your too qualified " or nothing at all. NO hiring unless I act like I have no eduation and that is for sweat jobs paying 7.00 an hour with unrealistic expectations for job completion. If I work the time it takes to complete the job, sorry too many hours worked, your not getting paid for 3 days. Now I was always told that if you go to college, you would make more money. I got fired for being too qualified 2 days after I graduated college with my associates degree for being too qualified. If I put in for a job, I don't get hired for having the experience they say when when no one will give me the time to get experience. I have worked full time since I started college at a convient store just to pay to have a roof over my head and now, I still have no money and bill collectors call all the time, but ya know what, If they really cared, they would give me a job. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, your too qualified, or you have no experience. Bull sh*t. The whole economy is rigged. I can get a degree (bachelors) any way in anything in 2 classes but I am out of money and my credit is screwed from not having a decent paying job. When I do have some money, it is taken away for gas, food, housing, and whatever else that is normal. I don't have an entertainment budget or anything because I am broke. I was once hired to be a manager but guess what, they paid me 6.50 an hour and that is bull ****. How the hell can someone live on 7 an under an hour when they tried to better themselves (college) but then when they get out, get screwed?

"Upward mobility" has never been provided by the large corporations for the majority. A big part of what made Americans so upwardly mobile in the past is entrepreneurs; first generation business owners. Why don't we have more of them? That's the important question. Where are all the new small manufacturers? There aren't that many. Why? There should be 10x as many small manufacturers as there are. Also, upward mobility of the kind he's talking about hasn't existed for a couple decades, at least. There's data collected by sociologists that shows this. It's what John Taylor Gatto means when he talks about the American Caste system that public schools have brought. The lack of upward mobility for American's isn't new. His use of the car industry as and example industry is odd. The car industry is pretty heavily regulated and subsidized. As well, it has some of the strongest and most corrupt unions in the country. Using them as an example of the evils of off-shoring just seems weird. “The collapse of world socialism, the rise of the high speed Internet, a bought-and-paid-for US government, and a million dollar cap on executive pay that is not performance related are permitting greedy and disloyal corporate executives, Wall Street, and large retailers to dismantle the ladders of upward mobility that made America an “opportunity society.” ”

I know because I'm already there. All this REALLY makes me wish I'd learned something useful in school, like maybe survivalist training or subsistence farming. But even if I had those skills, I also have epilepsy. What happens when I can't afford to pay for my medication anymore, which is somewhere around $350 without health insurance, which Wal-Mart doesn't provide? A mental institute or death by tasering from the police state for having a seizure and causing a disruption? Maybe I'll make this sites "Greatest Hits of the Police State", like Frederick Williams, if they get it on video...

Taking wealth away from the people is never going to be a viable solution. This is the view of the Hamiltonians. The problems with our economy are numerous. We have a central bank with the power to increase the money supply without restrictions. The government heavily regulates nearly every industry, causing higher prices and lower wages for the people. The tax burden felt by everyone is enormous. Ben Franklin once wrote " It would be thought a hard government, that should tax its people one-tenth part of their time, to be employed in its service;", I wish we were so lucky. Taxes drain the wealth of a nation and should not be redistributed by policy makers. We need to return to a more jeffersonian tradion that is being presented by Ron Paul(campaignforliberty.com), lewrockwell.com, mises.org, and all other freedom loving austrian economists.
