The boomers are sell out hoes. Their parents spoiled them rotten after they themselves lived through the depression as children and then going through a brief but terrifying WWII in which modern society thought it might fall prey to the darkest of ideological regimes in modern times.
The main reason the boomers whined about Viet Nam is because there was a draft. Today they are indifferent to the young people in Iraq readily buying into the right wing view, better here than there. The boomers will pay a price for their crimes before they check out. - Reply to this comment

Leona, what a satanic witch. She''s dead. If only she could report back how real eternal hell is and how low her position is serving the demons. - Reply to this comment

Basically the same as when the anti-establishment boomers in the 1960s said, never trust anyone over 30.

You got that right.

-You are a grouch. Good moniker. So, if you don''t like my suggestions, then why don''t you tell us where you shop? Where do you buy your $4 gas? What are YOU doing to help solve any of the problems rather than simply complain about them????
Since you know so much, why not say so. Calling names against someone who has done you know harm really hurts what limited credibility you have, so either come up with some goods or shut up. - Reply to this comment

I think you are right frankly. Civil was taken out of the equation and "freedom for corporations from government regulation" replaced "freedom of the people from tyranny". Our Supreme court justices claim to live by the constitution but they are taking us on a bullet train back to old world Italy, Germany, France etc. elitist dictatorial rule. - Reply to this comment

A few egos over the sustainability of modern civilization?

Yah, that''s about it.
You can always tell if a guy is REALLY rich by how much cash he carries in his pockets. A rich person CARRIES NONE - he has an open account EVERYWHERE, he needs none.

It''s to cut the boomers from the equation. Basically the same as when the anti-establishment boomers in the 1960s said, never trust anyone over 30. - Reply to this comment
- Back to what I wrote - if we, as a nation, can''t stop the oil companies from making RECORD PROFITS while we''re paying $4/GALLON FOR GAS, then realistically HOW DO WE EXPECT TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL???

- Does anyone on here even begin to relate to what one might do with 83 million dollars plus an unknown sign on bonus. I seriously doubt a CEO in this secret society bothers to own a car since the large firms provide chauffeured transportation. Suits are no doubt provided and maintained. What''s the money for? Several homes that are rarely visited? What''s the point? A few egos over the sustainability of modern civilization?

EVERY single one of them states Made In USA.

Apparently you''re stupid, too.
"MADE IN USA" from foreign-made materials using foreign-made equipment - and most of the workers are probably here on H1-B visas...
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. - Reply to this comment

-I already gave one suggestion...

-I already gave one suggestion, support the local, mom and pop shops who do not have the ability to farm out jobs.
If you call customer service somewhere you have business, and you are unable to speak to someone who speaks English, this could be a clue.
If you buy goods from Mattel, and on the packages, it says, "Made in China" give your business to another firm that proudly proclaims "Made in USA."
I recently bought some items at Target, store brand items. EVERY single one of them states Made In USA.
These are ways even the average joe can exercise his vote to keep jobs at home without having to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and such. Fairly simple.
But cumulatively, little steps by thousands and millions will send the message. - Reply to this comment

- This is a big problem with what is wrong with America, the few greedy CEO''s are taking way too much salary and bonuses. This is part of what is eroding the middle class in this country. They farm out jobs to other countries, show a higher profit and get a big fat bonus while they make the middle class suffer. They call themselves Americans?

- How can/do CEO''s receive this kind of money? They don''t do anything but play golf. It''s the average joe making the company money. But, they only get minimum wage. Don''t get it. THIS IS SO WRONG!!!!

- OneWorldUSA suggested
support companies that don''''t farm out jobs or goods overseas.
------------
Please post a list of these companies.
And none of their SUPPLIERS can farm out jobs or goods, either...
There are thousands of things our greedy politicians could be doing to correct these problems. We just saw what happened when they tried to "rescue" us from record profits in the oil business - PARTISAN ELECTION YEAR POLITICS CREATED GRIDLOCK, SO NOTHING HAPPENED.
The Democrats sent a "poison pill" bill up for vote, knowing Republicans couldn''t accept it. Republicans voted against it. COLLECTIVELY, CONGRESS FAILED TO ACT.
If they can''t successfully address record oil profits while we''re paying $4/gal for gas, HOW DO WE EXPECT THEM TO SOLVE ANYTHING??? - Reply to this comment
