That's because ppl are spending so much time working, bob, that they don't have the TIME to cook at home. This is not a sign of a recovering economy!

And that's just how the corp world likes it. Swing shifts, mandatory OT, ruin of the unions, cost-cutting measures that even affect the health & safety of the workers, & while the ppl get cornered by their jobs, the gov't has been pushed into cutting so many services that ppl can't even turn there for help when their jobs are sent overseas, or they are erased so that another worker can do double the work for 1/2 the return.

Sweet situation, eh, if you're a big investor in any big corp.

That's cause big government has run out of money, taxing the poor to death to pay for all those special programs. It is not taxes you see in your face.

Phil when all the corps are gone under your plan, who is going to pay for 300 million government jobs,,, The rich?

Freedom means if you don't like your boss, Quit. It doesn't mean you have a right to do his wife. That would have to be earned. You don't have a right to improvements he has made on his home. You can raise his property taxes. You don't have a right to his savings if he already paid taxes on that money. If you have not invested in his company,do not be jealous of those that have,and prospered , Remember we can always tax them out of business if after wasting 30 years of your life with a bumflock co, you blame them instead of your self.

If you want to marry an ugly job,,,, Do I have to go on or is the logic completely lost?

Funny thing is you need money to invest. Funny thing is our government keeps deflecting the very problem that not enough money is being left in your control to be able to invest. Funny thing is politicians are very convincing, invest with us and that one truth article about about the middle class shows just how much damage we the people have allowed our own government to perpetrate on us.

Funny thing is this is just a control thing. Mano a Mano. Any body get it yet?

Oh, I certainly "got it," Glen. Those that HAVE the $, want to keep it from the rest of us, so that they become richer & more powerful, & we become more enslved by the laws they force onto us & by the economics they force onto us.

You're quite right - it's very simple.

I agree 100%. If the shoe was on the other foot how would you feel? If you had risked everything you own to build a business, the finances, the long hours and hard work and everything else involved, and actually had made it a success, how would you feel if someone wanted to take it all from you?

Some rob others with a gun, some steal from others with a fountain pen. The latter is no more a thief than the former, they are only more cowardly. Read about some of those "evil successful people". Many of them failed and lost all they had several times before making it. They simply did not give up. One should do some self examination if they believe those who succeeded owe them a living.

Some are thieves, a few are corrupt, but many worked hard to get where they are. If you want to find a real villain, then look at those in your very own government who are trying to destroy the middle class.

They are still flying all over the world in big jets, eating Koby $100 lb beef, renting luxury hotels (Not even just a few rooms), riding around in limos, and paying rock stars a million dollars to sing 4 songs at those several times a week party's at the White House. Maybe that is where you should divert your attention, not to those who worked hard to get where they are today. They are the ones who took away our sources of fuel, drove the cost of living up and killed the job market in this country.

Look up Cloward–Piven and see if anything appears familiar to you. Then hunt up the recently released Pentagon paper that reveals a terrorist strategy to bring down America financially in three easy steps. Two of those steps have taken place as of this time.

Just food for thought.

I'm not talking aboit the ppl who start up co's with 1,000 employees or less, SG.

You simply don't get to be a monopoly in your field without destroying other ppl's businesses. You don't get to the point that you make $50,000 & up per day without corrupting the gov't, or being underhanded in your biz dealings.

Hostile take-overs steal as many businesses as over-taxation, i'd wager.

I worked for a manufacturer, when I 1st moved here. It was bought out several times while I worked there. The last time, te entire plant was moved to SC, where they had starting wages less than half what they had established here. They were making good profits here, but they decided to strip the ppl of their jobs, their careers with the co, to make a little more. I suppose that they will move the plant to Indonesia, next, to increase their profits even more.

As I said - those that have it will do anything at all, to anyone at all, to make more & more & more, & if you don't HAVE it, you're pretty well screwed.

A FEW are corrupt? Sorry, but ANY of the huge international co's that own so many subsidiaries are the very definition of corrupt. The monopolistic organization is a corrupt entity. They are AGAINST capitalism. They are AGAINST representative gov't. They are AGAINST YOU.

Philby,

An economist gave out some facts and figures today on his program. I will post them when he gets them on his website. The Demoncrats are bought and paid for through union dues. Every union in this country, and I suspect others also, give 95% of their contributions to Demoncrats. They are bought and paid for through union dues. And most of them are self professed Socialists and communists. They don't even try to hide it anymore. They believe that by destroying the economy of the US they will remain as the elite and the rest of us will work for them. Not so? Look at the expenses this regime has run up. Enough to bankrupt this country. And when it bottoms out then what? Who will you be working for when that happens? Here is part of a recently released Pentagon paper. It deals with a terrorist attack to destroy America through the destruction of the economy.


That possibility seems to be supported by news reported late last year that the Pentagon has been “war gaming” for a financial attack since early 2009 — and many of those scenarios have focused on China.

According to Freeman’s new report, the attack has three stages, two of which may have already been implemented:

* The first phase was a speculative run-up in oil prices that generated as much as $2 trillion of excess wealth for oil-producing nations, filling the coffers of Sovereign Wealth Funds, especially those that follow Shariah Compliant Finance.
* The second phase appears to have begun in 2008 with a series of bear raids targeting U.S. financial services firms that appeared to be systemically significant [such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers]. … This created a system-wide crisis, caused the collapse of the credit markets, and nearly collapsed the global financial system.
* The risk of a Phase Three has quickly emerged, suggesting a potential direct economic attack on the U.S. Treasury and U.S. dollar. Such an event has already been discussed by finance ministers in major emerging market nations such as China and Russia as well as Iran and the Arab states. A focused effort to collapse the dollar by dumping Treasury bonds has grave implications including the possibility of a downgrading of U.S. debt forcing rapidly rising interest rates and a collapse of the American economy. In short, a bear raid against the U.S.financial system remains possible and may even be likely.

Interesting, no? I am not saying that this is the case, but it is a possibility well within reason. And our socialist elite politicians for the most part are all for such a move. It means permanent power for them. They'll get to live like royalty, we will be their toys. And it appears to be going that way.

The gov gave out stacked employment stats today. The claim only 8.9% unemployment. (Through cooking the stats) Yet Gallop says unemployment is 10.4%. Now who has the best reason to lie.? Actually Gallop polls show 19.9% under employment. So how many of the people that you know have gone back to work? How much has employment improved in your area? Nada, Zip, zilch here in Iowa.

Looks like there's a lot to say when it comes to chicken...

A big box of fried gizzards sounds damn good right now.

A big box of fried gizzards sounds damn good right now.

Yeah it does.... But you know what sounds even better? A whole bunch of chicken livers breaded and browned up with peppers and onions.... Man, they used to serve that at the local Old Country Buffett, I had a hard time leaving those alone.....

Slacker my friend,,, Phil is one smart dude, but the forces that are creeping in are so scary that the average person like all of us fail to understand just how serious it is. Point, Deflection,Wrong answer.

Not to change the subject to something musical,,, but I love your finger pickin'!!!

I was married to a girl-next-door hot chick, but the powers responsible for the economic collapse kidnapped her, cut off her arms, legs, slashed her face, and murdered the ugly chicks by strangulation. Who's left to marry?

Yes that sound delightful !

My wife came home ... I said ... " What we going to eat tonight ? "

She says ..." how about some gizzards ?"

No sh*t ...

They were good too

Thanks Glen

Sans,

How about some of that great country style gravy to go with those? Need to boost that calorie count and cholesterol up a bit. I used to love biting into a chicken leg at KFC and watching the grease squirt across the room.

I tell ya true Slack ... I don't worry bout all that stuff.
I eat what I want ... and burn it.
