I hope the poor get poorer & the rich get richer..

Inflation is what you're addressing, and if any blame for that could be put on corporations, it would be for complacency under the FED system, which ALL Americans are guilty of.

The situation for the working class has gotten worse at an accelerated pace over the last 20 years because of the addition of free trade/outsourcing, which has left all laborers, no matter the rarity of their skill set, with no room to bargain as far as wages are concerned. America is now an employers market, with 100% of power in the employer's hands, with workers forced to bend to their every whim. Yes, corporations supporting and paying politicians to make this happen could be construed as their fault completely. However, the bottom line is the point of business. The true blame lies in an inept national government as far as representation of the masses is concerned.

On a deeper note one could dive into conspiracies, from media to public curriculum, to program the public into ignorant subservience. However, the bottom line will always be the public is to blame. For when the public takes violence and revolution off the table, slavery will always be the end result. Those in power must fear death. Without that fear, they simply have no reason to do the right thing. In fact, they have every reason not to.

 

Seeing how capitalists and conservatives don't rely on welfare to make it through the day, and most of us (if not all) have an innate will or desire to succeed and set goals--to be achieved through hard work, and where we look toward a Mitt Romney (a successful businessman) for inspiration in carrying out those ideals; I don't see what's so funny--more like inspirational in my book.

 

You find inspiration in Romney????? The same Mitt Romney who, as governor, put in place one of the earliest State wide socialist healthcare systems? LOL!!!!!! That is freaking hilarious!!

 

But Mr. Socialist healthcare Romney is your hero!!!!

 

There is nothing socialistic about Romney's Massachusetts healthcare plan. Our current nationalized healthcare under obama is totally different than Romney's state run healthcare plan.

 

Without sorting through the dozens of details, you nailed it....as Romney has stated over and over again that he would repeal obamcare as his state policy is geared to that needs of that single state, while obamcare uses our government to socialize all of his 57 states.

 

???

I think that you have many problems with the understanding of the things. If that welfare is in level of state or whole country is the same, is public healthcare, and you are not against the idea of public healthcare?

Are not the right who say that the public healthcare is unfear competence to the private healthcare and things like that? But later you support public healthcare, ok is just of one state, but that is public healthcare.

 

You would need to see the details of Romney's state run healthcare in order to see the differences between Mass's plan and that of a nationalized plan. I don't want to waste my time going over this much talked about comparison of the two, since it has been beaten to death here at PF countless times. Just know there is a world of difference between the two; and if there was not then Romney wouldn't be saying he would appeal obamacare on his first day in office as president.

 

You are actually trying to claim the mandated RomneyCare is not socialist? freaking pathetic...

 

The only problem with that is now I am barely able to work the job I have now.

 

Nationalized healthcare Vs State Health Care..... Whats the difference??

 

It is relatively easy to change states if you don't like what your state requires. It is virtually impossible to change countries.

Also, if this program causes massive debt or collapses the medical system, only one state is harmed - under a federal program the whole country will be hurt.

Most ideas would be better implemented on a state level. If a few states try them and they work well, other states will naturally try them as well. If they fail, no other states will be harmed. Plus each program can be adjusted to better fit the residents of that state, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-none plan that doesn't work well for anyone or only fits the needs of a select few.
