What scares you most about where the america is headed?

Ok so I guess now that all our jobs have been sent overseas and our factories are closed....

.

Really? All of them? My wife and I both still have jobs, in fact I don't know anyone that is unemployed. Guess we're lucky!

You do read the paper or listen to the news I hope.....

.
Sure, but I take it with a grain of salt, you should too.

Have you not noticed all the jobs being lost EVERYDAY?

No, I don't know anyone that has lost their job to be honest with you? And when people do, I don't doubt that it happens, is it possible to.....:wtf:....get a new job?

We have outsourced everything including our computer technologies! So how do you two plan on feeding the people that have no jobs. ?

Sorry, I didn't realize that it was my responsibility to feed other peoples kids?

Oh and how do you handle the families that were living the American dream when one of their kids gets really sick and the insurance company will not pay beyond the cap they set so the family loses everything trying to save their kid. It is happening everyday. Someone gets really ill and can't work so they lose it all. It could happen to YOU.

Yeah, I suppose you may be right, but I could win the lottery too, so what's your point?

You think it is ok for our country to be sliding into poverty while Exxon mobile execs are reaping in huge profits?

Yeah, actually I own stock in Exxon, so I am always glad to hear that they are doing well and taking care of their 1000s of employees and shareholders.

I think those that make billions should pony up and take some social responsibility.

Yup, redistributing money, that's called SOCIALISM, are you saying they shouldn't be allowed to make money? WTF? I bet you were all for Billary's idea to take profits from private oil companies and give them to "others" whoever they are.

They are benefiting from the huge ass gas prices after all.
People don't want hand outs they want help! They want the government to stop letting the corporations use loop holes to not pay taxes.

Coorporations DO NOT PAY TAXES, you do.

They want the insurance and drug companies to stop gouging the shit out of people.

It's called a "free market", they do as they wish. If it's as bad as you say, then they will lose money, and thus change.

Those that make over 200,000 a year SHOULD NOT get huge tax breaks. Why should the middle class be paying more taxes?!

Here's why, these stats are from the IRS:

The top 1% pay over a third, 34.27% of all income taxes. (Up from 2003: 33.71%) The top 5% pay 54.36% of all income taxes (Up from 2002: 53.80%). The top 10% pay 65.84% (Up from 2002: 65.73%). The top 25% pay 83.88% (Down from 2002: 83.90%). The top 50% pay 96.54% (Up from 2002: 96.50%). The bottom 50%? They pay a paltry 3.46% of all income taxes (Down from 2002: 3.50%). The top 1% is paying nearly ten times the federal income taxes than the bottom 50%! And who earns what? The top 1% earns 16.77% of all income (2002: 16.12%). The top 5% earns 31.18% of all the income (2002: 30.55%). The top 10% earns 42.36% of all the income (2002: 41.77%); the top 25% earns 64.86% of all the income (2002: 64.37%) , and the top 50% earns 86.01% (2002: 85.77%) of all the income.
That's why, I also attached a picture with a chart so you don't have to read if you don't like to.!

We all need to take some moral responsibility for our fellow man. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

So you prefer to watch families lose their homes and go without food. I think that pretty fucking insensitive.

This country is not drifting toward socialism it is drifting into POVERTY! Wake up.

I think that you may be a little mis informed about the reality of America, and how Americans are living. Think about everything you just said, then look around you. Does it make sense? Enough with the propaganda already sheeesh.:thumbsup:

Sorry, I wasn't able to attach the picture with the graphs, so I guess you probably won't be able to understand this and I probably just wasted my time.
