America is still a free market economy. It is still for seeing folks work to earn their success. It is still for equal access, but not necessarily equal outcome.

Seriously, where is the stimulus? Government spending on transportation and infrastructure a year from now? Preserving 7100 government jobs in Virginia this year while not fixing the endemic problems of over-spending in the current budget? Saddling future generations with trillions in debt? Growing the deficit 4 times greater than any other administration?

You are no different than the idiots on the left who accused Bush of being a Fascist or a Nazi.

That’s America?

What is going to happen when this stimulus bill has taken it’s course and inflation hits? Fire fighters, police officers, and teachers buy groceries just like everybody else. The middle class and poor will be hurt by this bill, because the inflation will hit them directly.

The answer is not to “prime the pump.” We have already tried that approach. The answer is to invest in long term, solutions such as modernizing the military. This would increase the number of jobs available and would probably benefit the good people of Virginia Beach. As more income flows into the citizens pockets the lower percentage of taxes still comes to an increased revenue for the city. That’s how you help keep public education and law enforcement employed.

We are tired of the class-warfare engaged in by the wealthiest 1% against the rest of America. We, like Teddy, want to see a leveling of the playing field. This is America, we are supposed to be a meritocracy, not a capitalist aristocracy where the rich only get richer – by any means necessary (Wall Street…) – thanks to Republican policies – while the rest of us toil to make their princely lives possible.

All I, and the majority of American’s, want to see is a recognition by the Republicans that maybe, for once, they should put the country first and their pocketbooks second – and stop engaging in the language of class warfare.

We are going to provide for those who want to work but can not find the jobs because the wealthy (while still remaining wealthy) found a way to keep exporting the jobs outside our nation.

If they are still going to make a bundle, they should provide the welfare checks. If they are unhappy with this, let them move to Mexico or China or something. Here in America, majority still rules. Here in America, if they still want to live here, we can continue to demand existence in the face of outrageous flaunting of wealth.

If America needs to live with less due to the global economy I think the wealthy need to lead the way. And if the wealthy will not lead then the middle class and the poor will seize the reigns.

Don’t you just love America?

I know exactly what America is all about. I think doing well is a good thing. I think the more people doing well, the better. You obviously think by attacking people who do well, we’ll get more of them.

Somehow.

Let me know the next time you get a paycheck from someone poor.

You do not realize what America is all about.

Don’t you realize that the poor are still a significant number of the voters?

I think you exposed your private parts with this:

“And I want the wealthy to get wealthier.”

You will genuflect at the altar of the wealthy just as long as the wealthy provide you with a few crumbs. As long as you get your crumbs, to hell with the rest of us.

And I want the wealthy to get wealthier. That’s how jobs are created. The wealthy spends, saves, invests, and companies are created and people are hired.

I never had a poor man give me a job.

The problem is that government must solve the problems for the majority or else they will be thrown out of office.

Thank God for America.

Here’s how I see it. The wealthy (the minority) have been getting wealthier while the poor and middle class (the majority) have been becoming poorer. Majority rules according to our constitution.

Don’t you just love America?

The government employee bailout can never be fair. The Democrat health care plans will never be fair. They’ll create more problems even if they solve or delay a few.

Nothing’s fixed now. We’re lucky to be able to build one side street that no one will even notice in Virginia Beach with the vaunted highway money. Whoopee!

Obama and the Democrats just bailed out state budgets and put it all on the nation’s credit card. That’s all that happened here.

But Virginia got its share too. Did Virginia get less then a fair share? Did California and New York get more then they should have?
