The authorities are getting serious on this. You can smell it. Today is different. Things we need to do: shut up. work hard. watch Fox and CNN. praise the freedom, democracy and peace we have.
Didn't you participate in a law suit against the NYC school system to provide more services to special needs students? What do you think pays for those services? Fairy dust?
Interesting in what sense? In that American taxation rates, and therefore policy outcomes, are more analogous to Turkey and Mexico than fully developed nations?
w/o going into the particulars of my suit, the two are not analogous. and saying education is not necessarily improved by throwing money at the problem, is not the same as saying money i not required for the education system. to illustrate the point, perhaps you could compare the amount the US spends per capita on education with the amounts of other 1st world countries, and then, compare the relative performance of US students to those from those same countries.
Someone elses kid = throwing money at the education system Your kid = money required for the education system
Now that we're done exchanging random, irrelevant photos about movements rather than ideas--- Stiglitz aka the second most cited economist of our times---hardly a "dye in the wool" communist/anarchist that wants to toke up and embrace drums, as CNN correspondents aptly put it. (yeah, that's right, the media really is behind OWS ---especially when the BBC/Guardian was reporting on OWS since the beginning, and CNN had squat until it became too big to ignore)
seriously How many days was OWS going on before the "lamestream" media started paying attention? It's amazing to see how ****ed up scared this has gotten people like basso
Dividing people by class. Obama's re-election strategy? Its been 3 years of the Obama campaign's failed strategies that have failed to lower the unemployment rate and not unleashed American business to turn our weak economy around. Now we're going to class warfare? Howabout failure of administration to help the jobs and economy in any way.
I think Democrats have always presented themselves as a defender of the middle and lower classes. There is nothing new or different there. In terms of policy, the Dems asked the poor and middle classes to accept service cuts and the rich to accept tax hikes to solve the deficit problem. The GOP has specifically asked the poor and middle class to shoulder the entire burden of deficit reduction by only cutting services, most of which serve the needy. Which sounds like class warfare to you?
i cant speak for others but i am for 1) term limits 2) reinstate glass-steagall act 3) ban corporate contributions 4) publicly funded elections 5) ban lobbyists 6) audit the federal reserve
Hate to break it to all you people here but the government will never be able to create enough jobs to lower our unemployment rates. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6329062&postcount=51f You're awesome.
I'm not stating the government will create the jobs, but they've gotten in the way of commerce. A significant number of major employers have stated that government is impeding progress towards job creation. I think the economy and jobs market would have been better if Obama hadn't created this anti-business environment. Ask the Chamber's of Commerce and the employers why they're not hiring more. Demand is a big part, but government is stifling business as opposed to helping business which means more jobs.
