I want to be one ...Me, I'm an aspirational fellow. I want to be one of those 400 that owns 22% of the wealth (although the numbers are a bit different in Australia). I won't get there, but I'm glad I live in a society where I have the opportunity to work hard, take risks and get gloriously rich if it all works out.<BR/><BR/>And I want it to stay that way. If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. If you are a loser who does nothing and then expects to live off the sweat of my labour - fuck you.<BR/><BR/>Capitalism has been good to us. Let's not ditch it the moment things get a bit rocky. We'll get through it, so harden the fuck up.Boy on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452119541546978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-78190338403259616362009-04-02T06:48:00.000+11:002009-04-02T06:48:00.000+11:00It astonishes me to read your rant and to realise ...It astonishes me to read your rant and to realise that you think the answer to our economic mess is a political one. (Africa is a continent, President Obama's father was Kenyan and he is no more a Marxist than you or me). As long as our leaders can manipulate us into thinking that this issue is a party political problem they win and you and I lose. We need to find ways to make our voices heard, from left and right, on solutions that benefit the nation, not the banksters. Racism, abortion rights, religion, second amendment, all those things are distractions that allow our leaders from both wings to steal from us all to feed the 400 people who own 22% of the wealth in the US. Focus on that and leave Limbaugh, Marx, Mugabe and Obama out of the problem. Focus on following the money to prevent the US from becoming a banana republic.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.com
