Capitalists are the "Engine of Prosperity"----**** Michelle Bernard

Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 12:44 AM by vaberella
So now the rich/capitalists are now the "engines of prosperity" that's ****ed up. The working class is what make those "engines of prosperity" run...****in idiot that makes us the oil, I guess. She's a bitch. What the **** is she talking about? She's a stupid Republican, I keep expecting more from them but they prove to fail miserably. She's an insulting twit.And they always put Black Repubs as pundits talking trash...

Michelle Bernard, Amy "Twit" Holmes, Michael Steele (I don't know what this loon is) and that other fool that was on Wolf Blitzer's show about the Post he has a busted eye.

Let it be known that not all Blacks are these twits above and we support Gay Rights, a lot of us support Obama, and are aware of racial prejudice. These idiots look like they would defend slavery {My reasoning: Her thought process would state that White slave/plantation owners were the "engine of prosperity."} <--by line to resurrect the practice.

Damnit to hell. She pisses me off.

Interesting how a rant could get so far off its original tangent in so few words. I wonder what causes that.

Alright, then working people create wealth, which the rich swipe. So it evens out.

Working people look for jobs, rich people create jobs.

8. Rich people create/provide NOTHING. They EXTRACT labor FROM WHICH THEY RAPE EXCESS PROFIT.
   
Everyone trying to water that down, or sugar coat that can ****. OFF.

Sooner or later the masses are going to stop being scared of the term "Class Warfare" and actually GO TO WAR. And that revolution will not be televised.

It will have a 15 second spot on the 11pm news. You, unfortunatly won't make it home from the battlefield to see it.

24. She's channeling Ayn Rand...
   
I'm waiting for one of them to scream out, "Who is John Galt?"

The more appropriate question in this day and age would be where is John Galt.

31. I have a question....
   
my son is taking Macroeconomics at a local community college....
it's his second Econ class...and since he's been taking them...
he is into Capitolism big time...and sounds like a Republican...
(although he voted for Obama)...

I just am so surprised at what he is spouting! He actually thought
Jindal sounded good and made sense. YIKES! Scarey!

My question:
I know squat about economics, but am wondering if your guys who do know
can recommend some readings from a liberal perspective on economics.

You can't even spell capitalism or even use a spell checker so you will probably agree completely with the suggestions provided at DU. 

Suggestions you get from your fellow DU'ers are probably going involve Marx , Lenin , Trotsky, Chomsky  and so on.

They're hardly credible sources given where their philosophy stands in the waste basket of history.

I wonder if the concept of risk and reward mean anything to the DUmmies.  I wonder how many of them have tried to run anything more complicated than a lawnmowing business.  How many of them have ever signed a contract to produce anything at all?

My guess is nearly none.  DUmmies have no conept of what it takes to actually produce wealth.

OK, try telling that to one of our favorite contractors in the area.  He's calling up his customer list, looking for work for his guys.  Things are tough all over.  It's the rich people signing up for a little indoor work on their homes.  I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is just not that hard of a concept.  Why can't they get it?   Where in the world does provis99 think they come from?  Fairy dust? 

Glad to see that lady's kid taking some econ.  Funny that she doesn't know jackshit about it.

That's right, vaberella, and you are simply gasoline.  Perhaps if you try, you can make it to 'Lubricant,' though at present you appear to be more a source of friction than a cure for it.  Now report to the cracking plant, damn you!

I do so love it when they really go out of their way to shine the spotlight on their ignorance.

Class warfare and revolution are mutually exclusive, so long as one defines revolution not merely as any old uprising by the common rabble, but as an uprising in the name of human progress.

Class warfare is nothing but a longing for human society to devolve into tribalism, with the tribe replaced by the ill-defined concept of "class."  Only conflicts which result from the desire to extend rights and responsibilities to the individual, and the individual alone, are truly deserving of the name revolution.

Sooner or later I hope they figure out "the masses" are really just a small minority of whiny leftists, a bunch of mental tampons that can't think beyond slogans and catch phrases, thus have thought being a "Marxist" or "Stalinist" or "Social Revolutionary" was still trendy. Meanwhile, the majority of society realized what a waste of time all that class warfare bullshit was, especially when their time could be better spent trying to become one of the rich capitalist pigs.
