I have no desire to serve in that capacity, and even so I can't run while I am serving in the Guard. Besides compromise is the tool of politicians, and I am not to good at that. So either way thank you for the thought. Besides I don't need a whole other group of people digging through my closest and trying to defame my character.Extreme Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665824400119790397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150330670363169273.post-41339330510596088172011-10-11T21:27:47.337-06:002011-10-11T21:27:47.337-06:00All I keep thinking is this ...

Seriously. <br /><br />While there may be many who are currently occupying Wall Street for the right reasons, there are many more who are occupying it for reasons that you wouldn't take a crap on. <br /><br />Yes, there are problems. Everywhere from the guy getting the government hand out to go next door and buy his crack to the asshole in the corporate office that bails with his golden parachute. And everyone in between. There are problems, but neither Pubs or Dems are going to be doing very much about it any time soon. So long as the cash cycle keeps moving. Breaks the cycle of the cash, maybe break the cycle.<br /><br />But where the fuck are we going to find and honest, upstanding person like that? <br /><br />Me, I say vote for my Dad. He'll fix this shit in a heartbeat. If he doesn't wanna run, I'm voting for YOU!Mouehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145714514734693982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150330670363169273.post-6516838660709376022011-10-11T09:22:46.128-06:002011-10-11T09:22:46.128-06:00Nice, Jesse, but THE problem is not corporations g...Nice, Jesse, but THE problem is not corporations getting away with otherwise illegal schemes. They are simply taking advantage of what is being offered to them and who in their cold, self-serving mind would not? We do it all the time as citizens through the giant government grab bag of wealth redistribution programs called welfare, business grants, unemployment benefits extension after extension (that bill is up for payment, BTW), etc. The problem is government that is miserably irresponsible with public funds and monetary policy. Do you think "excessive" corporate profits are an accident? They are part of the plan, my friend. How many times has Obama lamented about the way business is locking away their earnings and not investing back into the economy? Profits that are occurring in an extended recession. A stock market that has rebounded in a recession. Doesn't seem fishy to you? I think and am apt to do the research on it that business has been doing exactly what the government has orchestrated. Except instead of learning through the mistakes of subprime lending that was encouraged by the government and also created huge profits for corporations, the government has retried the same stupid policies just in a different package only to find out it still doesn't work. Now, we have the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer because of the damned government and the people are eating it up that it's the fault of corporations. Obama 2012 here we come!
