“The "ruling" class of yore implemented unjust legislation and promoted separate and unequal policies that kept blacks from having the power of the vote. They knew the Constitution provided too many legal loopholes for blacks to obtain equal citizenship so they tried everything they could do to crush their rights early in the game.

The only thing I can imagine they are afraid of after all these centuries is genetic annihilation. Surely, they dont believe blacks are gonna rise up and have an insurrection after all these years. They are afraid that if blacks are viewed as equal, their white daughters will marry black men and the children will no longer be white. If that happens too many times, "white" will become bi-racial. "White" will cease too exist or become a minority.

What they fear is coming to pass and they cant handle it. They are too ignorant to realize that race doesn't exist and many black Americans carry genetic markers that connect them with the same white folks and are genetically the same except for skin color and hair texture. I guess you cant really be "white" with dark skin and supercurly hair. Not in this country. :)”

“It was Iowa and the farm in question was one that supplied exclusively to Hormel.
There has been a lot of consolidation of effort between the largest animal rights organizations, and PETA is now focusing more, tho' not entirely, on undercover.”

“That is ridiculous!! Where is it written that a human life is more important than that of an animal. There is no difference to me!! In fact I would help an animal before a human any day. My husband and I make large donations to many animal causes but I refuse to give one cent to any cause that helps selfish humans. If I saw a hurt animal or a hurt human I would help the animal first without a second thought. Humans have proven themselves to be selfish, greedy, destructive, unethical and in fact inhuman!!! And by the way PETA's advertising campaigns are paid for by generous donations- like mine!”

“Hunh. All this time I thought PeTA's sole reason for existing was promotion of veganism.”

“In addition PETA did take undercover cameras to the Hormel hog farms in (( think it was Texas) and was able to have charges placed against abusive employees and get Hormel to clean up it's act.”

“Apparently the guy had mental problems. There's the difference and if you want PETA to do something I suggest you make a donation. They're not-for-profit and can only do so much with limited funds. They do an excellent job with what they have..”

“Q: Does anyone know how long it takes for trickle-down nonsense to fail?

A. Yes. Too long.

=====================

Without a direct cash infusion to individuals hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions more lives are going to suffer needlessly. Filtering taxpayer money through layers of government shall fail on two levels:

1. Time.

2. Results.

It would fail on more levels but there aren't any more levels.

Best regards.”

“hey we got all those fancy signs sayin this sing is from the stimulus act, nothing like spending thousands on a self pat on the back. new york spent a millon dollars on those signs. lol
i am appaulled by both parties. its a scam, they are deliberately devalueing our dollar, so it is easier to turn us into socialist. and they want to have a one currency system with mexico and canada. dont believe me? look into george sorros and how he makes his billions, then look into who has ties with politically. its common sense, right in front of our faces.”

“How do you know this?”

“L. Londell McMillian AWESOME AA Attorney. From Brooklyn”

“Your poor grammar and spelling lead me to believe that someone is paying too much for your education, and you're going to tell me to go to college? HA!”

“Actually, tax rates in places like Ireland, the Netherlands, and Southeast Asia haven't gone up since the crisis started. Countries are in a financial bind not because they didn't tax enough but because they spent too much. Liberals like to get the cart before the horse every single time. Governments cannot control how much money they receive, but they can control how much they spend. That's the bottom line.

I really don't even know what to tell you about becoming informed. If you check out data from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/06in02tr.xlss), you will see that taxes are very "progressive." Your entire post is just rambling liberal nonsense.”

“Texas is the number one exporting state. We got on this years ago with NAFTA, and we're reaping the benefits.”

“there are a rare few policitians who will still speak the truth on trade issues without fear, democrat dick durbin , republican chuck grassley and a few others aren't completely in the pocket of overseas industry yet.”

“Like I inferred, I'm not a fan of Reaganomics. Actually, the reason why America finally broke out of stagflation was because of the policies of the Federal Reserve, which was actually just a correction of their earlier poor policies.”

“If you look at the countries that have grown the most and increased employment, most of them have lower corporate taxes than the US.

The problem in your argument is that you have no factual basis for anything you say. ckone's stats check out against the IRS documentation, you're just backpeddling because you have no idea what you're talking about.”

“so the $60k+ per year I paid in taxes meant I wasn't paying any taxes?”

“Actually, Bush the First tried to call Reaganomics "Voodoo math" as a campaign strategy. And he failed to get elected. Which isn't a defense of Reagan's Keynesianism, you're just incorrectly attributing a quote.”

“Wall Street provides the financing for people to work and do productive activities. They make it possible for others to make things.

How can one sector be larger than GDP? You have no idea how GDP is calculated if you claim that a street in New York City can be three times the size of an entire economy. Please educate yourself.”

“Where's your proof? Any links or statistics to back up your comments?”

“I remember that article and thinking "what useless jobs"

We need to get back in the business of making things, building, creating, innovating, they all go hand in hand

the service economy just does not have the same kind of impact in wealth creation and prosperity sharing”

“Farming is one of the only industries that didn't disappear in the past fifteen years, if only because of massive government subsidy.”

“Agree, but we need healthcare reform. Our jobs are leaving because it's too expensive for companies in everyway. The high cost of health and other type of ins has become imposible for companies to compete.”
