Now the wealthy are sitting there with all the wealth that has been created and their looking at the middle class, which has lost a lot of wealth, and saying, “How come our customers aren’t buying our products?” THEY’VE BEEN SUCKED DRY – THAT’S WHY.

In all seriousness, why does no one talk about raising taxes anymore?
Isn’t that, like, what the government is suppose to do in this kind of situation?
Like I’m not trying to tell the government what to do, but isn’t the purpose of taxes to fund the government?
I could be mistaken, perhaps they exist just to annoy people, and must be abolished at once.

@plynth2 I guess you see NO correlation between the massive AMOUNT of derivatives, and the massive creation of dollars, by the Fed? Thats weird, so I guess you think the Fed can print unlimited sums of cash, and it never goes anywhere? You are truly fucked up.

@luvcheney1 I guess I can look forward to some conspiracy fueled explanation of how the Fed made the evil derivative possible. My suggestion is to do what Glenn Beck would do: introduce a third element, like Cass Sunstein, dream up some sinister connection between Sunstein and the Fed + Sunstein and derivatives which would then = a sinister connection betweeen the Fed and derivatives. Or tie the Fed and derivatives back to a historical figure like the Rothchilds and make the connection that way.

@bananaphone951 -

To pay for the Rev War we increased taxes on luxury items of the rich
To pay for the Civil War Lincoln mainly taxed the rich w/ his income tax & inheritance Tax
To pay for WW1 we increased max tax rate on the rich to 70%
To pay for WW2 we increased max tax rate on the rich to 90%
To pay for Korean War we increased taxes on the rich
To pay for VietNam War we increased taxes on the rich

Now Paul Ryan wants to lower taxes on the rich & attacks the middle class & poor

@plynth2 I think when I mentioned the fact that Hammurabi`s Code, 3700 years ago, dealt with Derivatives, and laws about them, would have awakened you to the reality that they are not some new, special, sinister idea. However, the explosion in the financial amount of them would require an explosion in the quantity of money that gets invested in them wouldnt it? After all, the issue isnt the ancient derivative, it is the BUBBLE. Bubbles fueled by creation of money. Ought we ban home mortgages?

The one good thing about Ryan’s budget proposal is that it will put a lot of right wingers out of thier jobs and homes. They’ll have to move in with the kids who won’t have jobs either. Many will die from lack of proper affordable health care. I’m all for that.
