    Being an American is more than a geographic accident.

    That you fail to understand the b.o. IS a Socialist, on a path to Communism, is your failing, not mine. Have you ever heard, "FROM each according to his ability, TO each according to his needs?' That is pure Communist Doctrine. "Redistribute the wealth," b.o.'s stated goal, means exactly the same thing.

    And economics? Check back with me AFTER you have been the CEO of a multimillion dollar international business that provided jobs for more than 1000 people over the years.
    You 'know' near worthless tripe that you have read in a book, and useless political brainwashing that a decent and capable mind would reject.
    You know what you learned in school. What I learned in school is that when school was finished, it was time to really start learning useful information.

    Depends on what the stock price does.

    Auto manufacturers have added about 133,000 jobs since the two companies emerged from bankruptcy in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    You are correct, bacardi.

    All this practice does is drive up interest rates.

    By the way, I was just notified by Team Obama I will soon get another Social Security increase I do not need!

    James, you are free to send all your social security checks to the IRS to help the cause.

    And in case you are too stupid to know this, Obama did not create the social security system, or the cost of living increases that are built into the system. But of you couldn't know that since you are blaming him for your cost of living increase.

    no sweetie - that I recognise that he is NOT a socialist, and that the US is NOT on the path to communism during his term as president - is evidence that I have a better education than you.

    The Constitution left voting requirements mostly up to the states....and folk voting for the fellow with the least American values is indicative of being clueless what the country is all about.

    I donate my Social Security income to conservative causes.

    I am very pleased and honored that the government GIVES me money ($2,366 per month) I can put to good use and use to defeat Obama in the next election!

    Only a mental cretin would expect a subversive socialist to announce that he is a socialist and desires to collapse the USA. You are so easily fooled.
    b.o. has no clue what Capitalism is. He has never been in any way associated with Capitalism. His entire life has been involved in anti-American Socio/Communism. That has been his way of life from early years forward, now suddenly he tells lies to the incredibly gullible, and in their desperation to excuse their own failures, they convince themselves to believe his completely unbelievable lies.

    As previously stated, Fool yourself.

    You are very correct, Dan40.

    By the way, these discussions were very interesting.

    If Obama were a true capitalist, he would institute free-enterprise policies that create jobs so people who are now unemployed could go to work and use their new incomes to buy foreclosed houses at greatly reduced prices.

    Instead, Obama the Socialist wants to raise taxes, print more money and give it to the big banks and companies like Solyndra which will also lose money and go bankrupt!

    Sad. ... Very Sad!

    For those who wish to believe that b.o. is not a socialist, the ONLY other choice is that he is a complete FOOL.

    My judgement is that he is a socialist fool. And it is time he be fired by the voters. He should be impeached for a dozen reasons, but no one has the nuts to do so, so we'll have to vote him out.

    I don't think americans do either .... during the long boom your economy was far more "socialist" than it is now, but even now your governments would never dare to run the capitalist experiment that they did in Chile for fear of what would happen, and you subsidise your inefficient primary industry to compete on the world stage.

    Citizenship is geography. Being American is an intellectual activity.

    Nah, being an American is a result of being born in America, or otherwise naturalizing.

    It's only a depression for certain people. Corporations and the government aren't in a depression. Only the majority of the population. :/

    Here is a sobering report on how most Americana today are struggling very hard to survive.

    If the Democrats would lower our taxes and reduce the size of government, these people could easily survive on the incomes they presently have.

    You are aware that the rate of taxation is at its lowest point since before the Korean War? You are also aware that people in poverty pay little to know income tax? And lastly if you "reduce the size of government" that would likely increase the number in poverty as a government job is a middle class job, and a size reduction would likely mean a workforce reduction.

    This claim is repeated often by the left, but it is completely untrue. The fee and tax structure is completely different now than it was in the 50's.

    Simply looking at the published top marginal rate is a convenience with benefits only for those looking to make illegitimate arguments.

    The existence of AMT alone defeats your claim.
