I was watching MSNBC last night covering the Wisconsin recall election. They were in Wisconsin among a crowd of recall supporters. Every single "working person" they interviewed was a government employee -- mostly employees of the failed government monopoly school system. There wasn't a single Teamster, UAW member, etc. in the crowd. It was all government employees. This should have crystallized the real problem in America for everyone. The two sides in America politics are not "rich" versus "poor". The two sides in America are people who work for a living versus people who vote for their living. There are "rich", "middle class", and "poor" people on both sides. We no longer have government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's now a government of the government, by the government, and for the government. Until this dramatically changes, America is going to continue its slide into the trash heap of history.

Wow, you really are stupid. I mean you are so stupid you make decisions based on no research - besides a snippet on what you saw on a TV show and then you write about it. You must be an old guy not used to something called "Google". With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.
In Wisconsin it's government by the Koch Bros, and for the Koch Bros.
"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly
He posts his own blogs here but probably has half the posters here on Bozo. No discussion is wanted by that one.
There's a kind of right-wing arrogance to that.

Pretty much like every Tea Party member I have ever met. Certainly the ones that post here ALL qualify.
That "my way is the only and right way" posting style is a tell.
