It is odd, but it appears that you do not understand the things I have already written,.

My take on that is that the majority of the things your write are wrong.

I am unlikely to understand anything you write in the future as well.

So we're in agreement that you make no sense. Sweet!

If this can happen there is no reason the Isaelis and Palestinians cannot reach peace.

Jobs that didn't use to hold an actual wage:
Congress and the President.

Considering the very first president received upwards of $200,000,000.00 in gold equivalent for his 8 years in office... did you learn your US history from Fidel Castro?

Solving the debt problem is as easy as quadrupling the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. Ben Bernanke should run for president in 2016.

I never really looked at that, so maybe he did lol.
Then again, we also wanted George Washington to be a king.
The rest of the truth is, congressmen used to have other jobs and career politicians virtually didn't exist.

I would love for the Fed to keep injecting more backless paper junk into our economy, that way we can end this sooner rather than later.

Go QE3!

I disagree, in part only. Considering the FF's were a pretty smart group of strangely all white men, I tend to support all career politicians making huge salaries just like all of them did. Why should politicians have to constantly look over their shoulder & cater to their dumb *** constituents?

I agree full heartedly on siding with their advice on everything including printing all the money necessary to accomplish Washington's goals though. Hell, I threw a huge party when QE3 was announced.

Oh I don't know, maybe because it's their job?
Just a thought.

It's all good bro, I'm glad you buy into the Washington machine.
Hell, I'll be throwing a huge party when countries stop using the dollar as their reserve currency, and the United States credit rating gets downgraded.

****..... I'm late to the party again.

Oh put me on the park guest lisp, bro. Americans going back to work is worth getting smashed over.

I think you misunderstand the motivation & drive behind the super successful. Maybe they wouldn't succeed under the most trying circumstances inside a corrupt political regime, but they don't really have that to deal with north of the Mexican border.



A lot of immigrants to NYC have built their businesses from the ground up. That goes for all walks of life, and even more so for the Jews, who do it every damn place they migrate to. Jewish success has been linked to cultural support, which obviously isn't equal across migrant classes. Still, at the end of the day, starting a business & working your *** off is the real first stepping stone. Using that success to pay for college & see family members climb the Wall Street ladder comes after.

Jewish success and Japanese success are two different things I have been reading about over the past few months. Well, before school started at least. Very interesting stuff. I know the Japanese have completely different perspective of work ethics, and looking at the trasnofrmation that their country went through through the turn of the 20th century is really quite remarkable. But yes, I think you're right here.

I grew up poor as **** and worked harder during the summer than many grown ups, so you'll have to excuse me for saying boo freaking hoo.

One summer I mowed 10 lawns once a week with a push mower plus my parents twice--many were 1/2 acre. I also had a paper route that took about 1.5 hours every single day, worked in a local orchard for $2/hour, and spent many Saturdays cutting wood to keep warm in the winter. The cars broke down a lot & my father needed help fixing them. We worked a lot.

I don't look back on that and wish I had it any other way. Sure, it would have been nice to value education higher than I did but the value my family placed on hard work has payed off just as much if not more so.

The point I was making is I can't sympathize with the poor can't do it mantra. It's repulsive how the left drags out and dehumanizes the worst situation they can find in the most demoralizing, patronizing way possible. I don't need a sob story to put my support behind an initiative. In fact, they tend to push me away out of disgust.

Well, I never actually caught these posts until I skimmed through this thread a second time. Just wanna point out that a) frank, you're pretty on point here (moreso than myself, which is why I usually try to stay out of these types of discussions because I know I am outclassed knowledge-wise by some of you) and b) my purpose wasn't trying to concoct a feel-bad story to try and get people to sympathize with the poor.


I just feel like way too many poor people are stuck in socioeconomic 'ruts', and we have to try and devise a few ways to coax people out of them, particularly inner-city youth, African-American youth, and so on.

Interesting report I;ve read, that you would probably be interested as well frank (as well as anyone else who's interested):https://www.pewstates.org/uploadedFiles/PCS_Assets/2012/Pursuing_American_Dream.pdf

Yes, >80% of people make more money than their parents; however, pay attention to what it says about the stickiness at the sides. I dunno, maybe I shall look further into this issue.
