When you become successful you'll be able to finally realize your dream and pay more income taxes than the rest of us. It's voluntary to pay more, so you'll be living your dream.

 

My neighborhood reinforces the facts I post about black crime with personal experience.

 

It's not that, it's your lack of self preservation I'm concerned about.

 

Ad hominem fallacies seem to be all you are capable of.

I doubt that you are rich or that you ever will be. Identifying with them does not make you one of them. It does not make them identify with you.

 

So get the hell out!

 

In other words you cannot demonstrate what I said that is not true.

 

I do not consider myself to be rich, money wise.

 

If I could I would. You know that. Yours is an irrelevant statement. What matters is that I know what I am talking about on many different subjects.

I seem to remember you saying that Thomas Jefferson formed the Republican Party. I had to inform you that the Republican Party was formed after Jefferson's death.

 

I don't claim to be anything else but just your average common man. I really am concerned about your situation. You should move out of the bad area.

 

Let's stop getting personal, and stick to comments about the national situation. Let's try to restrict these comments to testable assertions where facts and logic matter, but emotion does not.

 

I doubt it. You are gloating about something I obviously cannot change.

 

Yes you can. State governments have programs to help people relocate. Take advantage of them.

 

Everything, or at least most, of the facts that you post have a ring of "truth" to them, it's when you apply them to theories without considering other "truths", that you seem to err.

The cause of the end of the Great Depression was clearly the involvement of the US in military production for WWII, it was not the CCC or WPA, those were maintenance programs designed to put people to work build public projects.

Why don't you acknowledge this? Is it because it doesn't fit your rhetoric?

 

D.L. Believe it or not, I am trying to help you.

Hey that is what I read. If it's not true, I'm wrong. I'm sorry for the misinformation. It was not intentional.

 

Tommie, you were not really wrong.

 

But, you were wrong.


Thomas Jefferson did form the Jeffersonian Republican Party, the fact that it later became a cornerstone for the modern Democratic party does not negate the fact that he called it Republican.

This is a prime example of how you distort your "facts" into falsehoods.

 

They'll be happy...til they figure out that no rich=no jobs.

 

The article I began this thread with demonstrates its validity in the acrid responses to it. A declining economy generates a poisonous political environment. This political environment can be seen on this forum. I try to keep my poise. Some of the demented invective shown here is disturbing.

Nevertheless, while most Americans have been getting poorer, the rich have been getting richer. I do not believe this has happened before in American history. During previous periods of growing inequality the standard of living for most Americans rose somewhat. Nearly everyone lost after the 1929 stock market crash. The rich took a bath on the stock market. Other Americans lost jobs, or had to take pay cuts to keep their jobs.

The growing income gap is a Democrat issue, one to be solved by reversing Ronald Reagan's and George the Lesser's tax cuts for the rich. It should be clear by now that the rest of the country has not benefitted. Republicans can only try to change the subject by chanting "Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Jeremiah Wright," and by questioning the President's Christianity, his patriotism, his birth place, and by charging that he is not a real American.
