For the OP, it's always enjoyable to listen to Americans blather on and on about how great the third world is. How wonderful life is in various dictatorships and how this marxist leader and that communist leader is so wonderful, so enlightened, so in tune with "his people." On and on and on. Yeah, America sucks.

The one thing that never happens is these folks NEVER MOVE! Keep right on staying in Mommy's safe basement, babbling on and on about how much the US sucks.

Quit posting on a cigar board and put your money where your mouth is. Raise that kid you're about to have under Hugo Chavez's umbrella of love. Sends us all a message 5 years from now and tell us how wonderful it is down there. How the streets are paved with gold, and how you have the best medical care on the planet for free. Tell us about all the spirited debate you engage in down there regarding the government, and how things need to be changed. That is If you're allowed to have a computer. Or internet service. Or to speak your mind without being imprisoned or shot.

Maybe before you go you could talk to my step-daughter's ex boyfriend. He and his mom fled Hugo's paradise. HIs dad didn't make it out of there before he was killed. This kid, he doesn't harbor the same burning desire to go live there as you do. He and his mom like America. Feel like they're lucky. Lucky to be here, lucky to be alive. I'll just have him read your posts so he'll be all excited to go back down there again to the real good life.

I'm beginning to reassess my previous dismissal of the OP's intent.

North,
If you honestly think that governmental control of large corporations is a GOOD thing, then you simply don't know how much you don't know.
It's not blind patriotism nor perpetual ignorance that keeps America the strongest country in the world. It is, in fact, the very captialism that you suggest we eighty-six simply because times are difficult.

What do YOU think will help make this country better?
A. Folks like you who want to suckle the governments teet when times are tough.
B. People who embrace captialism and trudge forward to work hard everyday despite dismal forecasts from an appologetic administration.

If you do choose to move to a south american country, please do so for the cultural immersion and not under the guise of a superior financial make up.

Northsidepk is in fact a very clear thinker, unlike the "we, "the foxxy crowd, who find great comfort in a
convicted drug abuser, rush, an ununcharged sex offender, who settled out of court, o'rielly, who used
his position as a dirty old man to harass one of his associates, an escapee from a mental ward,
who sees everything in black and black, and his pupil who understands little, and lies with a clear eye,
and, who interviews bobble headed sycnophants, whose heads move forward and backward only."


(good sentence rick)

Northsidepk points out fact's as examples of the misdeeds, not of the USA, but it's so called leaders
who have allowed corporations, meaning a select group of members of the boards of directors,
to run roughshod over other countries, destroying the democratic process for their personal self
interest, overthrowing legitamate governments to put dictators in charge in order to obtain
special contracts for their corporations.


third world countries have better child mortality rates, better educated children, workers who get as much as 6 weeks paid vacation, and we have senators that will not extend unemployment
benifits to people out of workbecause there are no jobs.

Fuzz is very bright, but is also a royal d1ck, who doesn't understand that there are certain "sacred matters" that you just don't mock others over. Harrasing others over their shock from watching an Olympic athlete get killed and chiding a BOTL about his hard earned sobriety, crossed way over the line.

Sure, Fuzz was far left of most people posters here and knew how to stir the pot, but he did so with out the idiotic statements the OP has made in this thread.



WTF? I heard my name was being thrown around here again for some asinine reason, but this post is just stupid. I never did either of those two things mentioned as far as I can remember rfenst. So either show me where I did, or apologize.

As for the rest of you, f off. I no longer post here because the grand sum of IQ's here wouldn't be enough to win the average NBA game.

What if the government was funded by corporations and not the public?

Look at Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina....Low unemployment, solid and improving infrastructure, good healthcare, democratic government, better education, all in all the U.S. is going to be the third-world country in 100 years and South America will have one government and currency.

Glad I will be dead by then, but sad I will miss all the fun

I will say this for Northsidepk: he is either a slightly gifted pot-stirrer, or probably one the stupidest people you'll ever come across.

Perhaps a combination of the two? You decide.

I think someone should start a thread ranting about the evils of "predatory lions." After all, the whole purpose of a lion isn't killing and eating other creatures, it's to be photogenic for Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.





And the last time I checked, these "preadatory corporations" also provided goods and services that people used. I think we should all put an end to that nonsense right away.

What do you think our government would do if Mr. Chavez sponsored a coup here? Cause thats what we did to him.

FACT: Hugo Chavez has been re-elected 13 times, his population loves him, he has increased the standard of living and gotten rid of all foreign debt for Venezuela.




I am not sure that they love him, but they sure as hell dont like getting shot. And in the "re-elections" has he ever had a serious opponent with more then 50 pesos to campaign with and a fear of not being shot if its starts getting close?

The Soviet Union and Cuba nationalized all of their industries too well in advance of "Latin America." Look at where they are now.

Yes, so they can make a buck or two before they get nationalized. Duh!

Corporate America is going to take, take, take until there is some sort of public resistance.


There is a form of public resistance. It's called "don't buy their products," dillhole.

Northsidepk wrote:
This is not a anti-democratic statement this is anti-capitolism, where did all the companies with pensions and heath care go?


The federal government still has a pension plan and generous health care benefits. They also happen to be $14 trillion in debt.

That whole "companies cannot survive in debt" thing might help in explaining this...

Northsidepk wrote:
Why do we out-source high-tech position to poverty stricken countries?


Because their labor is cheaper. And because a corporation needs to make a profit to survive. Duh.

Of course, when it starts costing you three-times to develop something overseas then it does in the US, you quickly terminate outsourcing (which has been going on, albeit quietly).

In that very article it states(first sentence of the third paragraph):
Households in the top 1 percent for annual income (those earning more than $352,900) paid a healthy 28.1 percent of all federal taxes

seems like you are being pretty selective in your data analysis

And further down in the article, the top 20 percent of earners has paid an increasing share over the last twenty years
