At this point I am pretty much "aware" of poverty and AIDS in Africa and I am aware that global warming is pretty much bullshit.<br /><br />Look at Wacko Jacko, most of his famous charities were nothing more than huge black hole's to hide cash from the IRS. Only people they "helped" were wealthy investors who needed come tax credits.<br /><br />Wait until he dies, all the weird crap he was involved in is finally going to come to light.<br /><br />I am from Detroit, and the auto industry here is collapsing here because the boomer's pretty much squandered that to death. Thinking that the govt and the corporations "owe" them a living. <br /><br />How about instead getting off your dead ass and getting a education instead demand everyone "pay up" what you think you are entitled too.<br /><br />I come from a union family most of them are the biggest ignorant uneducated pieces of waste you will ever meet. Peaked in High School on the football team, and now expect a company to pay them a near professional wage for unskilled uneducated labor. This is one of the reasons that my degree holding ass cannot find work here.<br /><br />If you look at most of the "rich" in this country, majority of them have BS degrees or higher. maybe that is telling you something, like Johnny should put down the Soccer Ball and read a textbook for a change.Gary T.

What I think D is saying...To Anonymous at the top:<br /><br />What I think D is saying is that this transfer of wealth to the top happened because the people at the top became so greedy that they started taking money from those below them instead of investing in new businesses/schools/hospitals/charities/et al., because they wanted more money NOW NOW NOW! (sorry for the caps;)). If they had been patient and less prideful, they could have invested, and would have increased their wealth as well as everyone else's and not have people raging against them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111263621003623709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-61027439171293501242009-06-08T11:07:10.382-03:002009-06-08T11:07:10.382-03:00Sad to say, I don't think this Anonymous fello...Sad to say, I don't think this Anonymous fellow will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek-ness of your reply in this thread.<br /><br />But, yeah, anyone who wants to get rich quick, without putting in the work required, is too short-sighted to see that such behavior is ultimately against their best interests (for one thing, such behavior tends to foment hatred against them by such people as Anonymous; I admit to having some of these feelings too, but at least I won't demonize them just because of their station).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111263621003623709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-3890528563626586612009-06-08T10:55:39.875-03:002009-06-08T10:55:39.875-03:00Sorry about the caps, but there is just no other w...Sorry about the caps, but there is just no other way to describe your awesomeness in today's early morning (early morning for me) blog.Kitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-71892625179436825952009-06-08T10:53:48.686-03:002009-06-08T10:53:48.686-03:00Wow.

Th...L&O had "goodwill" for the rich? That's a twist. I gave up on L&O when you could predict the killer by seeing which character was one or more of the 3 Rs, Rich, Right Wing, or Religious. Maybe since Wall Street put hundreds of millions of dollars into the Obama election campaign, it's now okay to be a rich New Yorker again.<br /><br />As for the next generation growing up in a shattered society, blame that on the Baby Boomers, who pissed away all that was given to them, and then expect to be entitled to their entitlements at the expense of the future.<br /><br />Well, start your own blog, where you can be as angry, and hateful as you want. Then you'll be a "blogger" and not an anonymous "comment troll."<br /><br />This blog isn't about Marxist revolution, nor is it a Rage Against The Machine fan-blog, nor is it about you. It's in fact, all about <i>me</i>, and my own raging, about my own topic, to which I have some expertise.Furious Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934529688753875751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-25798809661322546262009-06-08T02:10:59.015-03:002009-06-08T02:10:59.015-03:00If you havn't noticed the new (by new, I mean ...If you havn't noticed the new (by new, I mean whipped up in response to the current economic crisis) trend of calculated PR crap for the rich, then you're not paying enough attention. Another plug for the 'good will' of the super rich was written into one of the latest episodes of 'Law and Order' shown Friday night. Two more on the Sunday morning shows. Half a dozen others during the recent 'making a difference' segments on 'NBC Nightly News'. Mark my words: There will be many more. The story lines are being written as we speak. <br /><br />I didn't mention a word about 'zero sum' economic theory. You made the vague reference. Not me. However, I will say this: When you concentrate the wealth within any economy faster than you 'create' it, that inevitibly results in a net loss for the majority. For example: Between 1983 and 2004, the richest 1% of American households increased their net worth by 78%. That is a fact. Between 1983 and 2004, the bottom 40% of American households lost 59% of their net worth. That is a fact. More than 1 in 6 American households now have a zero or negative net worth. That is a fact. More than 1 in 3, now have less than $10,000 in net worth including home equity. That is a fact. More than 5,000,000 Americans have fallen below the poverty line since the year 2000. That is a fact. The middle and lower classes are further in debt than ever before. That is a fact. Trillions in bottom line US wealth have already been transfered from poor to rich. THAT IS A FACT. Wealth has been concentrated worldwide for over 30 years. THAT IS A FACT. <br /><br />About the 'style' of my writing. its called plain English. I'm not trying to impress a bunch of econo-junkie, volcabulary-junkie, bookworm snobs. I'm trying to set the record straight. The current generation is already in deep shit. The next generation will grow old in a shattered society. I want a few of them to understand what really caused it. That is my only realistic goal. <br /><br />http://longlivethevillagegreen.blogspot.com/2009/05/akron-changes.html<br /><br />Yeah. I'm a jerk. I'm angry. I'm hatefull. I'll admit that. But my attitude is damn well justified. I've had it with greed. Its gone way too far. I will no longer make excuses for those who epitomize it, those who celebrate it, or those who are too stupid to see what an epidemic it has become. It absolutely positively beyond any shadow of a doubt will cause or accelerate the fall of modern society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
