Your are right Kinklu .I worked for a man years ago that beleived this in our little town .Even in our little town this did not work as it left the big business with money and strength and it controled the small business just one example in the winter the nortern people come down a local but big hardware store starts having specials on what they use the Yanks but when they leave now this is after it caused the little or home town hardware to close up when thay leave they no specials for the locals and my boss called them on this and they would not respond I really laughted at him as he still beleived that it works it works the way they want it to work after they run the little guy out and now we have a Wal Mart GOD help us all and their MEAT STINK’S .It is bought by the truck load and they use carbon dioxide to recolor the meat. I cannot find a Butcher shop open anymore so I have to pay Winn Dixie’s price for good meat I am being forced to become a vegetarian so the little cattle man will disapeir soon I think no more Ma and Pa’s that have good wholsome food because the farmer’s market closed last year and we have to drive 50 miles one way to a market at 60 years old the stuff they add to kep food is killing us .We are getting into big trouble and the Repubs think it not serous because they are sitting comfy on their fake lizard covered chair’s telling their neighbor’s it’s real Lizard skin.

Fern, in Reply to your Reply to my Comment: your posting (of exactly the same message to me that you originally posted in response to the article) doesn’t make a great case as to your ability to discriminate. But hey, I do play close attention, and the truth is that comments like yours bring me sympathetic sadness for reasons some may appreciate, while you and others may not. I am mindful that you are a person.

I am well aware that Repubs were holding hostage (1) the extension of unemployment benefits and (2) extension of tax cuts for the NON-wealthy. Suffice it to say I paid close attention before, during and after that awful December. I struggled with the implications of my conclusions, and still do, but I came to them in good conscience.

I realize that you believe as you do with purity of conviction, and wish you well. If there are “enemies” to despise, and I agree there are, at least it can be said the we have enemies in common.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re a Republican.

Romney’s sound bites remind me of a line I heard in a movie one time.Romney is telling folks what is wrong with this country and puts the blame on who he thinks is responsible.Romney can’t tell you how to fix it because he dosen’t know how.All Romney is doing is utting fear in the minds of voters and that’s all he can do.

I know you guys and girls get tired og hering from me but i acn’t stand it when people use lies to gain power .
I just got through searching to find out about the comment that Hillary is going vote at the UN to stop gun owners in the US .That was far out stretched lie it came up and she said that she doent have the power to do that .Also even if I did it would have to go to the senate and win by 2/3 ds vote and go to supreme jsutus and court and then to the American people for which it is our constititopn that we do have right to bare arms and to protect our selves .I agree that it is a move for those few get their foot in the door again .
I think that we need to put a stop to the abuse of it coming up so much by posing limits on what and how often it can be brought in any manner in this fashion for any point of gain like money power or senate seats
I am real tired of the real lie’s and this one that come up to often .At same time I am writing the news came on about a man being killed by for gun men braking into his home and yelling Police they shot him in the chest and killed him he had camera showing them kicking in the door of his home he had a gun and hesitated because the cheap craps yelled Police their gun killed not his is the point had he been able to figure out the truth ib time he would be alive and maybe a couple of them would be dead and people are confused on how to protect them selves because it is always in contraversy the Police should not be able to use this tactic to inter a place of residence either as they are almost alway’s in contral
Had it been the Police and he shot not believing them they would have unloaded on him out of revenge .this might not be the place to sound off but I did it any way .Why should they live and he die while in fear of breaking the law

The true welfare state involves subsidys to corporations that are far more costly than any benefits paid out the the elderly and poor. Just look at the allowable cost over runs in weapon systems fro Grumman, Lockeed, and that other major welfare client:Haliburton which was paid a whopping 6 billion for Iraq. Or how about the farm subsidy for corn oil that is helping fuel the obesity epidemic, or for ethanol, or how about paying the major oil companies to drill. I’m definately for ending the welfare state for these groups. Imagine the savings?. People are always talking about welfare but back in the 80′s Texas Instruments, (remember Ross Perot?)was paid 34 million to run the Texas welfare system, so is that added in to what welfare costs?. If the republicans where really fiscally responsible they would start here. When they want to cut benefits for the poor they should carry a cross with them when they make the vote.That way they can show what really good Christians they are.

Are you talking about Mitt Romney Or George Bush I’m confused .I think you are too .As the fact’s are weighted out Obama is the best at that we have according to the way you are putting it .How can you talk about free society when society is paying the way for the Repubs by paying their taxes and other hidden agenda’s we are since Bush sighned it in .The only thing I see Obama doing is signing into our society is a free society to be as it should be all are equal if they qualify in this country to be a member and vote as they see fit .
Why isn’t Mitt Romney being investigated? His father was a Mexican turned Mormon and Mitt Romney was born here they say. I haven’t seen any proof of that but he isn’t under fire . I guess their is a place called Romneychusit’s
The GOP or some part of them are saying Obama was born here but not born a naturalized citizen because his father is from Africa another country or some where and was not from the US. What is the difference they both were born here Mitt Romney’s Father is a Mexican turned Morman .Isn’t Hawai still a state like Romneychusit’s .
I am just a confused old Redneck that some one said last week that I was not voting for Obama because I did not want black’s in the white house because I am from the south funny I voted for him the first time and I will vote my will again even though I am an old red neck from the south .

I strongly agree that “trickle-down” has served only to transfer more wealth to the wealthy, and that Romney would work to expand it. That’s what we expect of a Repub. Trouble is, as the author notes, the voice from the bully pulpit remains weak, and his actions duplicitous. Obama/Dems failed to do anything whatsoever to reverse trickle-down when they had the White House and a majority in both houses of Congress. The wealthy still have their tax cut and corporations their subsidies and tax dodges. Obama gave banksters a pass and acquiesced to toothless financial reform, and then put Social Security on the table. He is giving job-exporting corporations still more “free trade” deals, and supports spending as much on Defense as the entire rest of the world combined. Most of the stimulus spending went to jobs for teachers and other govt employees — which had little staying power — and now the Obama/Dem mantra is not repeal of tax cuts for the wealthy and job-exporting corporations but spending on teachers and other govt employees. The latter plays into the hands of the wealthy looking to profit from privatization (read corporatization) of education and other government services. Spending more on govt employees is seen as another form of trickle-down insofar as many impoverished private-sector taxpayers are concerned, and so austerity gains momentum. In short, many are being impoverished by the combined effects of Repub/Dem policies and politics. My hope is that a new non-partisan coalition will adopt a battle cry of “Repeal Tax Cuts for the Wealthy”. It lends itself to ferocity, it is something a majority of Americans already support, and it helps build an exit ramp off the Repub/Dem one-way highway to hell.
