The average American is going to have to change. That's what it comes down to.
You know I have always taken the majority thought that we are exploiting the average Chinese worker who produces things for us at slave labor wages and work environments.
Paying someone else a wage which they agreed to produce something is exploitation, regardless that it actually raises their standard of living? Marxism sure is crazy talk.
Most Americans thought "aren't we lucky to be on the receiving side of all this fun stuff?"
No, most Americans thought, "Gee, we aren't doing that low wage drudge work anymore. Let's set up new businesses that generate more wealth." Somebody forgot to tell you about that. Sorry, we thought you knew.
In a way though one can look at it as we have consumed ourselves to death. We have sent all of our wealth to that Chinese workers nation.
Including debt the combined wealth of all American households in $54 trillion and rising, for our 320 million or so people. Chinese total household wealth is less than $10 trillion for more than one billion, and rising. Who knew we sent them all our wealth.
We have a HUGE infrastructure in this country designed to support our consumption. We eat like pigs thanks to all of our "wealth" and suffer from the incredibly rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Now what do we do since that infrastructure is no longer growing? We can't even all become a nation of Wal-mart clerks. So where are we now that we have too little production capacity AND no more growing consumption sector for the average laid off citizen to turn to?
Who are you kidding? Wal-Mart wouldn't have you as a clerk. Here's a clue. Free men work.
We literally borrowed against our homes to enable ourselves to buy more cheap plastic wal-mart crap.
Most didn't. 95% of homeowners are still paying their mortage every month. That 5% deadbeats stiffed the everyone else for around $3 trillion. Something for nothing is the democrat way, not the American way.
We lost our democratic ideals. We no longer THINK. We let ourselves be entertained by the TV, and can't seem to hold a normal conversation with another citizen about simple democratic elements of our society.
You're actually right for once. I submit DU as the first piece of evidence. It is the left that is interested in shutting down any thought that doesn't conform. I am more than happy to allow you free speech, it serves as proof to your utter foolishness.
This is the century that Chinese worker will come out on top in the long run. History books 100 years from now will describe the coming decades as the period in which the United States was a broke and busted nation.
Maybe. Maybe the Chinese government will pass laws protecting intellectual property. Maybe the Chinese government will decide to encourage the inate talents of all of it's people. Maybe the Chinese government will stop suppressing any and all dissent. That's a lot of maybes. As far as broken and busted, who is it that is spending like mad on things with a guarantee of no return? That's right. It's the democrats, large and in charge.
There will be a LOT of learning, self reflection, and general need for people to learn how to GET ALONG with (and participate with) others in society in a positive way if they are to make it through this.
Oh, please. How many lame bouncies can I drag out from over there posted tonight? How many DUmmies refuse to watch Fox News? How many aren't on speaking terms with their "rethuglican" family?
The tea party people are the ones who are starting to feel it.... deep down they know they too must change.... but like a klansmen during the civil rights movement they can't accept that they will have to learn to do this and they will make a lot of noise rattling their cage in anger before they finally change.
Now for the money shot. The folks protesting government size and scope are racist. Yes, and Bush = Hitler. Please wipe your chin, you are drooling again.
Americans lifestyles are going to have to change or they will go under. Simple as that.
Yes, it is likely that my grandkids will drive something with a different source of locomotion than I do. Ya wanna know something else? My Grannie told me stories of riding a horse and cart in her youth. Yes, lifestyles change. There is no technological reason that what they will have will not be superior to what I have. Free men work and build. Losers whine.
I am really starting to wonder about Twix Voy. Why hasn't he headed off to his new country full of white people willing to support his sorry rear yet? There are other posts, but well...yawn. Except for Dreamer Tatum's post.

What is this idiot jabbering about? The only people I see not getting along with others are illegal immigrants and liberals.

Has the Twix Candy Bar prim informed us where he's going? Last I heard was "Europe." Wonder if he got specific.

Just a small input:
Twix-boy is delusional as always. Your comment here is spot on!
Wal Mart is the epitome of American entrepreneurship and ANYONE that bad mouths them is an ignorant uneducated moron.
Indeed, free men work AND, slaves whine and toil.
Twix-boy toils, even while on unemployment.

They want us to pay for their mistakes. Mistakes made through ignorance or short-sightedness. If there are never any consequences how can one expect people to learn from their folly? If you reward stupid behavior it will continue. Likewise, if you punish achievement it will cease. DUmmies need to acquaint themselves with B. F. Skinner.

That right there is sig line material, and way to true. :bow:

Damn I thought he was already gone

Don't hold your breath. The Twix candy primitive is a DUmb****, after all--and one of the requirements of the DUmp is that you have to be a drama queen.

I heard Greece. He wants to see socialism "broke and busted" up close, so I heard.
-
They don't really need him in Greece, they been there and done that. heh.
He should move on down to Cuba, North Korea or even Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

Oh, how very trite! Hits all the talking points spewed over and over and over and over again by the left which is just the broke, worthless hippie version of penis envy. Money is bad. Materialism is bad. People that have money and things are stupid. We're the smartest people in the room because whining on the internet is better than hard work.

You have to wonder how they measure intelligence over there. Unemployed and broke, unable to co-exist with their families or half the population of the country for that matter, mentally dysfunctional and not trying to get any better, failures at every lame scheme they cook up, can't tie their shoes without consulting with their equally clueless moonbat buddies.
Yeah, this is the think tank I want running my country.

Well, given the fact that they vote, that's exactly what you got on January 20th of last year.
I'll bet you so-called "pure conservatives" don't stay home again.

Ummm look around, it is.

It's hilarious how DUmmy TwixVoy has had this epiphany of a coming apocalypse. Just a couple months ago he was a trainee cable guy - fat, DUmb, and happy. Then, after being canned due to a disastrous random urine test, the dark clouds began to gather inside his tiny brain. The tipping point came when he failed the drug test required for aspiring Cinnabon clerks at the air port, just when he thought that sweet gig was a sure thing. After that disaster, his vision of Armaggedon really crystallized, and his drama queen pronouncements at the DUmp picked up.

Just like the rest of the "smartest people in the world", Twixy couldn't pass a drug test even if he studied for it....
