Blame the Victim!

As a fellow political junkie, I would seriously reccomend "A Republic, Not An Empire" to be put on your reading list. I'll see if I can find the exact prediction ver batim. It might be surprising to you. It knocked my socks off 8 years ago, and then when 9-11 happened, then the Iraq war, Buchanan took a few steps up the ladder to me.

Thanks, Beefy, I will do that. He just scares me because he is in with the Catholic League. I kind of wrote him off for that reason. My bad, also his immigration stance is a little harsh for me.

Yeah, socially he's pretty reactionary, and his stance on immigration and other personal issues are pretty far right. But his economic and foreign policy stances have proven to be right, dead on the money, even in retrospect. The book is a real eye opener, and his background is history. "A Republic" is a history book that tells you exactly how history repeats itself, and 2 yearfs before 9-11, and 4 years before the Iraq war, he predicted it better than Nostradomous ever could have.

The Chinese government is basically selling it's products at a loss. It isn't a net gain.

The money isn't the goal; ruining the productive capacity of the west and fostering western dependance on eastern production is the goal.

Umm why is the standard of living and the Chinese economy rising faster than ours then ?

Just goes to show you materialism is not a substitute for freedom. NEver will be, but that's the delusion they're banking on, so to speak. So it's actually irrelevant to me. I believe it probably is profitable, as much as the accumulation of worthless paper is "profit".

Umm it kinda depends on how much actual real stuff that worthless paper will buy for ya.
 
usdumbass, had you gone to school and taken economics you'd know that its easier to grow from under 10,000 gdp per capita than it is from 48,000 Grasshopper you must focus:clink:
 
But as you have kept saying growth is growth spinner :)
And it supports my contyention that the global economy will raise other countries standards while lowering ours.
over -2% median income growth in the USA since 2000 ?
But what the hey, negative growth is still growth :D

I wonder what the median income has done in china in the same period ?

But does not the corporatists have rights too ?

As individuals yes. That doesn't mean they have the right to subvert all trade policy to their favor and to the detriment of all other citizens. I guess they have the right to try. And we have the right to try and stop them.

business takes the moral character of the moral framework in which it is conducted, if any.
 
Ahh now you are catching on to the complications of freedom. all cannot have the freedom they desire, so somes freedom must be curtailed for the good of others freedom.

There is no simple set of answers for what you are seeking asshat.

The right to subvert the will of people in a democracy is not a RIGHT for corporatists. You're a joke. Your intended "gotcha" failed, homes.

See god, uscitizen. Nobody remembers by fathers words.

Johnny Appleseed Lyrics
Artist(Band):Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Review The Song (14) Print the Lyrics


Send polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone


Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There's a lot of souls
Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory

Hey - look there goes
Hey - look there goes
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
*Is what was true now no longer so

Hey - I hear what you're saying
Hey - I hear what he's saying
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

What the people are saying
And we know every road - go, go
What the people are saying
There ain't no berries on the trees

Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple - fall on the apple

Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don't know
That soul is hard to find

Hey - down along the road
Hey - down along the road
If you're after getting the honey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Hey - it's what the people are saying
It's what the people are saying
Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees
Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
You're checking out the honey, baby
You had to go killin' all the bees
