Re: Populist outrage.....Sen. Grassley just kicked Kneale's ass on CNBC!! Invited Kneale to Iowa to meet with the public. Kneale choked like the Patriots in their last Superbowl !!

@4- what's hilarious is that Kneale has been stoking the outrage himself and then today was apparently told by a producer to take the other side. It was so fucking fake, his outrage and the outrage.

Does the banner in the second photo read: Bail out people; unemployed, workers, STUDENTS????

WTF, students need to be bailed out? Out of what? They're not working. They are living on interest free loans from the government. They've got the oldest bailout going.

These people are idiots. I hope they get struck by lightening.

Many of those people have little or nothing in common with the clown outfit that organized today's march.

Why sneer at them? They don't have jobs anymore. Maybe even some are ex-Wall St. They're just trying to be heard. That's all.

The only reason the US living standard is so high is due to the slick bankers on Wall Street/Federal Reserve system.

If Bretton-Woods was never signed, these protesters would be working in the fields instead of the Mexicans.

#32, unfortunately nobody remembers that. Everybody rips the profits (and blames the greedy rich for not giving more) and everybody blames the rich when bad times come (and still blame them for not giving more). And the "rich" are the ones earning the money/getting taxed (75% of ALL taxes in America are paid by top 5% earners)...and the rest are actually subsidized by them. Nevertheless - everything is STILL the fault of those that actually can, do and make! Because they do too little, according to "little guy"

Posted by guest , Apr 03, 2009 2:16PM

@ 38

Mexicans arent lazy at all. Find me American day laborers waiting outside a Home Depot looking for work

mexicans understand no work = no food
americans understand no work = government handout on someone else's dime

Posted by guest , Apr 03, 2009 2:20PM

#39, you obviously did NOT read the comment of #38.

Question was: what's a Mexican?
Answer was - A Mexican IS a substitute for those Americans who are too lazy to do the work themselves and prefer to remain on social assistance.

Yes, Mexicans indeed understand that no work means no food. Americans, on the other hand, think that work has to be done - for free - by "riches" - and that they - without work - deserve all the profits.

Posted by guest , Apr 03, 2009 2:25PM

#45, because Ayn Rand described everything that is going on today - in detail - almost a century ago. Including speeches and measures by government to "curb" the crisis. Maybe if some people at Congress and Senate read anything past nursery rhymes we would not be where we are today.

Posted by guest , Apr 03, 2009 2:30PM

@49...care to post that 6 more times to make sure we can all see it?

Posted by guest , Apr 03, 2009 2:50PM

@48- yes... I always thought Rand was a hottie who told men (young, inexperienced men) what they wanted to hear. I never thought there were so many people who took her seriously. Marx described a lot of this stuff, too. So did Orwell. And there's no point quoting historical figures since we're being ruled by technocrats and they don't give a $hit.

Dammit, get yer pro/ant-agonists straight!

And, no, no one takes Ayn Rand seriously, 'cept Fucking Greenspan, who's found a "flaw" in his thinking.

When, exactly, are we going to figure out how to make capitalism work for a higher fraction of society? Just why the fuck should so many people lead such fearful, insecure, just plain crappy lives, slaving away for such a grotesquely miniscule fraction of the wealth available? (It can't all be due to the influence of TV). Why should some "members" of society reap billions of dollars for their service of allocating capital, and others lack basic necessities? Inquiring minds...

@70

Because some individuals are more productive, efficient, creative, intelligent, diligent and ambitious than others. It is a risk/reward system. It is the premise our country was founded on - the ability and freedom to make your own life for yourself. Its why millions of Europeans risked their wealth, property and lives to cross a perilous and cold ocean. It is the foundation that motivates us to innovate and to work hard.

Those who do not have basic necessities do not deserve basic necessities because they likely will not work for them. Guess what, its Darwinism applied to society. Individuals can either work their asses off or they can die. Just because we do not live in forests does not mean we no longer live in a state of nature.

Societal obligation to those "leftovers" is an illusion created by a confluence of unproductive people. It is fostered by people whose parents were incredibly productive; so productive in fact it allowed their offspring to lead a life a sloth to dwell on 'fairness.' Meanwhile the rest of us work our asses off to provide for ourselves and our families. If I work harder than you, if I can think of more efficient uses of resources, do I not deserve more? That, to me, is 'fairness.' Perhaps you should examine why we/you owe anyone anything. Why am I obligated to provide for anyone but myself and my family?

Most of society has benefited enormously from capitalism. In fact, all of society has because we have social welfare programs to ensure that the poor are not dying in the streets like in India, China and Egypt. Look at the great manner of things that our middle class has now that their parents did not.

Get abroad and start comparing America to other places in the world. Then bemoan the state of our system and our capitalism. If you take away one principle about life, be it this:

LIFE IS NOT FAIR. IT NEVER WAS AND IT NEVER WILL BE.

Now grow up and improve your own life.
