Are you a domestic terrorist?

This is what is making the "Tea Party" crowd angry enough to crash the "Health Care" debate. Don't be confused (as are most in the press it seems) that the crowd is composed of Republicans.

The conversation on the one side is marching along with their 2006 campaign ideology about creating more government services, and the other side of that debate are the people freaking out about losing their likelihoods, homes, retirement savings, college educations for their children, and a ton of other stuff. The conversation for the latter group is much more along the lines of what we are talking about here, which is; how should the equation be written? You know that I'm on the side of seeing a bit more of my Kinetic Energy stored for my own Potential uses.

Jester was saying it correct when he wrote you will always have to put in effort to make a living.
The problems you are mentioning don't have anything to do with more government influence or higher taxes. They are cause by the fact that you and your countrymen (as well as many of us in western Europe) have for decades spend too much money (more than we had) and because we were in power we could use financial constructions to keep the rest of the world poor, and at the same time leach on there resources. The world has changed and America and Americans can only survive with a little more smart government control.

The libertarian way is fine if you live in the richest country in the world....but already now it wont work. A more prosperous India, China and other countries do mean a different division of wealth in the it this world.....sometimes you notice this directly (the crisis) other times it goes slower, but it will happen.


Not being a great Obama fan (for me he is also too right wing) these protests today (or yesterday) are just ridiculous.....you have been living on China's money for a long time and now that the government wants to do something people start protesting. Having some people pay a bit more taxes is too much government interference but when somebody spends billions on a war and lowers taxes it is all fine.....we just let the government bother money, just like we do.....at least they are not interfering with our lives. <_<
