As China slows down and their average wage increases, puppet-ed Obama can blame Iran, the muslim brotherhood (U.N "peacekeeping" forces do the dirty work), and China trade policy(co-opting Trump), while the banks and the likes of Bain Capital help multinationals start exploiting Brazil and South America for new slave labor and tax-haven island businesses flourish. Or Germany(really the ECB) as they increase their takeover of Europe and the Mediterranean economically.
Average Joe doesn't understand how the system works, they will feel the pain, but not realize exactly how their real wealth is being taken from them. They will see new highs in the markets with each surge and prices, and think, it must be good....
I don't believe in partisan politics. I vote for whomever I feel seems better equipped to handle the major issues facing the country at the time of any election. So, I have just been astounded by the candidates the republicans have been choosing of late. First Sarah Palin, now Mitt Romney! I don't know, but it would appear there is a shallow pool of worthwhile talent to choose from in the Republican ranks.
I observed that even in the primaries there seemed to only be lack luster support for Romney within his own ranks. Any high profile Romney supporter seemed to be pretty much saying, well, I'll support him, since there are no other viable choices. To me, Romney just exudes the air of entitlement, a guy whose been given everything on a silver platter, a guy who doesn't really understand what it is to be an average middle class American.
Am I the only one who finds peculiar that the Republican party chose a wall street fat cat to run, given the rise of the occupy wall street sentiment lately. Really? Do you guys want to win? How about that little foray abroad? Has he ever traveled outside the country before? Does his diplomatic skill entail being able to see Russia from his house too? Come on guys! I can't wait for the presidential debates, somehow I think that is where Romney will literally go down in flames.
The corporations that control congress can no longer grow their profits and wealth in the US economy alone. The consumers there have been tapped already. There was a time when the game was regulated and the common citizen had a chance. Those friendly corporations are free now to play by their own rules, which is no rules, around the globe, from Africa to China, and soon to 9 billion consumers. They have no loyalty, and no care for the country that gave them the opportunity to become such upstanding citizens. Corporations are people you know, human beings, the best kind. They own congress now that people can do that. Clearly this is the problem, from what I've read on this forum, it's my understanding... Maybe it's time to start blaming your congress person instead of the chief puppet....
And you think Obama hasnt been handed everything to him on a silver platter? The man went to Harvard basically for free. The man has never held a long term private sector job ever!! So how does he understand the middle class when he has never been in the middle class? At least Romney has employed thousands of middle class workers and has helped many others.
I have managed a teams of workers who would be considered lower middle class and I can tell you I know there problems I know their families and their life story. You do not create a company and have workers without knowing them. So to say Romney does not understand the middle class is just ridiculous.
White shoe types never really understand what it's like to come from nothing. Obama went to Harvard for free? What about athletes that go to university and colleges on scholarships, was it all for free, they didn't work harder than the other guy? It was all just given to them? I understand Obama does have a pretty awesome intellectual gift, but i tell ya one thing, to finish at the top of your class at harvard you have to work harder and want it more than anybody else. That is not free. Free is a buy like George Junior with a vocabulary of less than 300 words graduating from harvard,,, that's an embarrassment for all who believe in meritocracy and darwinian capitalism, intellectual capitalism in this case...
Well stated. I'd forgotten to mention the potential of Africa although there's still room by the multinationals to exploit developing South America and find consumers in their population further after the current slowdown. I would agree that both party platforms have shown disturbing flaws and finding it hard to vote for either or give in to the "lesser of two evils".
Africa has the slave labour population to help drive US wages even lower, as well as vast resources... and a population set to double... such a rosy picture..
