The rich and corporations have bled this country dry through:

1) Free trade;
2) Paying no taxes; and,
3) Corrupt banking practices.

Listen to Dylan Ratigan, who has explained the problem and offered the solution.

Tell me if he left anything out. I don't think so.

4. But The Blame Game Includes
   
those on welfare,the homeless,those on S.S.,medicare,medicaid,those dirty liberals,the tree huggers,the anti war brigrade. They have got many convinced that if we get rid of all these "liabilities" the country will bounce back. They have no idea that all these people ARE the country,it's breath and it's strength. You shed them and we will sink like a rock and the wealthy will take their money and run.

So the people sitting there with hands held wide open waiting to be filled is our country's strength?
 

The real strength of our country is the people busting their butts every day to take care of their own needs, and pay the taxes that the govt uses to hand out to the DUmmies. You morons hate the rich so much that you want them to be taxed until they are poor or leave the country, meanwhile they are paying a majority of the taxes that keep this country going.As usual you idiots have no clue about how things work.

The DUmmies refuse to believe that spending is any part of the problem at all.   It is always that the rich and corporations don't pay enough. Yet they fail to realize that even at 100% of profits and 100% of the wealth of the rick will not make a dent in the debt and deficit.

It doesn't fit their narrative, they choose to be willfully ignorant.

However in their minds it would be enough for them to live in luxury on so that is as far as their thinking goes.

The astoundingly stupid and irritating Sarah says in part:

2) Paying no taxes; and,

The top 10% pay 70% of the Federal income tax, you idiot.  Pay no taxes?  And guess who'll be paying taxes if corporate taxes are jacked through the roof?  You will.  They'll either pass on the tax bill to you, (after which you'll post DUmp threads about what a bitch prices are these days), or leave the country.

Don't confuse the DUmmies with facts, Karin.  It only makes them slobber with "Blame ChimpyMcBushitler" and similar garbage.

Uhhh, they whine and moan because an unqualified minority cannot get a home loan (for a host of reasons other than skin color), and force the banks to lend to these folks.  Then, when the loans go bad, they ignore the previous and blame "banking practices".

Genius.

Hey Sarah, apparently Oblowhard got caught in a big lie on his "Not my re-election campaign, really" re-election campaign trip this week.  Apparently he claims he TOTALLY SUPPORTS the outstanding free trade agreements with Colombia and South Korea, and 'It's all those darn TEA Partiers standing in the way,' except there is a big fat lies embedded in that - It seems his Oministration hasn't actually put them forward for Congressional action yet!

Naturally, the MSM is giving him a complete pass on it.

So several men and one woman who contribute nothing but babies, babies, babies who will contribute nothing but babies, babies, babies are the backbone of the country eh? You might have a point dumbass if those babies, babies, babies grew up to be contributing members of the society they are a part of. As for SSI disability, it is abused and because of that eventually people who really should be on it ie those with severe brain injuries, neurological conditions like classic autism, dialysis patients, those with very limited mobility and capacities(maybe after a stroke) will all probably lose any assistance because of your backbone of society. The homeless? Another farce created by the left...your 'homeless'--many of them would have been in institutions if they were still around today. The tragedy there is that so many mentally ill people are left to walk about in society when they obviously can not even care to their own basic cleanliness among other things.

Tree huggers = costly and oppressive(unnecessary even) regulations that regular people really don't give a shit about.

Anti-war=anti-military really...when your bunch get honest about that little fact, then we can maybe have a discussion on it since the anti-military slant overall is really where I think people have the issue.

Yep, it was 'banking practices' made on the back of pressure from their beloved government and community organizers like the current sitting prez that helped create that mess. The banking practices they created are what they don't like but they won't(or are not aware) that they need to go back to the root of their own stupid liberalism which spawned a lot of this creeapp back in the 90's to truly understand the mess that has become of things. Hell, they won't even acknowledge that the uncertainties of unprecidented actions like the health care debacle and the gov. trying to gain control of banking and auto is keeping this country in a stranglehold recession. At some point, even if the master has to rub their snouts in the poop, they are going to have to face the fact that what they believe in is indeed...poop.

How about we stop letting 50% of this countries population not get away with never having to pay a tax of any kind? They take and take but they do not give anything in return. And for the lurking asshat DUmmies here it's not the rich or middle class we are talking about.
