All they do is follow orders. So why get mad at them and not the rich politicians who start the war?

IF they do…it is because the serviceman is accessible whereas the politicians are not.

I don’t seem to know of this happening since Vietnam.

It is apparent that republicans want to punish the worker. Everything they do is geared towards punishing the workers.

Republicans want to and advocate for:
- Make unions illegal
- Eliminate minimum wage
- Eliminate social security and pensions
- Outsource jobs to foreign markets
- Eliminate safety and health regulations
- Tax the workers more, eliminate taxes on the rich (who already pay much less as a percentage of income than the workers)

All of those things hurt workers. They have proposed NOTHING that helps workers.

Republicans claim, "Our government should not punish people for being successful." But in reality, the "successful" are not punished at all when the "successful" only pay 15% and the workers pay 30%.

How are we punishing the successful when the successful get enormous breaks from the government, while the workers are suffering lower and lower wages as the rich get richer?

THIS is the one part I cannot grasp or understand. They claim to hold and embody so many values yet assault the common working person at every turn. They want the worker weak and blind and dumb. I don’t understand.

…. but they don’t care about the plight of poor people and the middle class people.

They keep hoping they will get in under the radar

the vast majority?
Their President robs the children of middle class families of their future assets and shifts them to the Wealthy by spending it on non-productive Government bureaucracies and Big Banks while passing the debt to the future generations.
Obama assures the "poor" can vote for an income rather than work for one.
America will die as a result, so why do Leftist Progressives Love that system?

It’s the Liberal Shell Game. All they’re really trying to do is Control the population. What better way to do that than have Control of the Money. Then they dole out what they see fit, and you’re supposed to thank them and praise them for giving you crumbs.

The two ruling class "parties" seem to be running hand in hand toward default-
is it GOOD for the ruling class to ,default?

Yes they will make sure they are protected

they free our wages, don’t give out raises, we have to pay into health insurance, we have to pay home owners insurance, car insurance and this and that? how can you be rich?

Like they say the RICH get richer while others give all their money to the RICH.
***freeze not free
None of you are rich…
None of you are rich…
Always if you can read I have a JOB you moron.
LOL all these idiots are talking like they are RICH lol

Awwww poor thing. I suggest you get back at everyone and DON’T BUY ANYTHING! You see, you are in ENVY and hate the corporations because YOU are not rich. You LIBTURDS are all the same!

Us Tea Partiers talk about relevant issues such as Hussein Obama’s birth certificate, the fact that Obama is a Muslim, the fact that he’s a Marxist, and Rev Wright. We also warned people about Obama’s death panels that will be coming soon.

All that these Occupy protesters talk about is how the rich get richer while everyone else gets poorer, the decline of the American dream, big banks causing the foreclosure crisis, and Wall St buying out Washington DC.

Funny! You’re funny! birth certificate and death panels. As if those are real issues.

Good one, dude! LOL!

I am taking an economics class and I am interested in how poverty increases while people who are educated is increasing.

Both "the poor" and "the rich" are increasingly better off . Take a look at what it means to be "poor" today http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2011/07/What-is-Poverty
Most people 50 years ago would have been envious of what "the poor" have today.

Do they work very hard? Don’t people who work for minimum pay work hard also?
Why should minimum pay be so low? So that the rich get richer?

Did Madoff work very hard?
Is Madoff a lawyer or doctor?

How about the CEOs who where the reason for their companies to fail and got so much bonuses? Are they doctors or lawyers?
I meant "were" not "where".
Why do they want to keep MORE of their STOLEN money? I mean the money they stole from ordinary people? by not paying them their fare share?
I meant fair not fare.
I am talking about the filthy rich who are Republicans or Democrats. Both are the same.
I DIDN’t KNOW THIEVES SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP MOST OF THEIR MONEY.

Thank you for pointing that out.
OhNoooo,

I am asking this question, so that may be it provokes a little thought in people’s head. I already know the answer.
Erin,

You are right. Madoff is a very SUCCESSFUL thief.
Brian,

Yes big people eat their dinner at the table and the mice get the crumbs on the floor. That is how the rich are.

Why don’t they keep less of the billions for themselves and give the employees their fair share?

What are they going to do with billions? How many homes and cars do they need? Do they need to take baths in money?
The SLAVE OWNERS thought that everything belonged to them also. They didn’t want to pay anything to the slaves.

There shouldn’t be any more slaves or slaveowners.

The Truth is THe rich, barely ever work hard…. They just sit at the top and collect a % of the Lower levels work.
