Subject: RE: BS: What's Wrong With Us?
Well, well, well, good people...

...but lets get real here!!!

We are collectively being consumed by consumption... But are we any better off??? Well, heck no, we aren't... We are collectively worse off... Our rate of saving in the country is like in the negative category... And this ain't just families but government, too...

(But, Bobert, if we aren't "saving" then who is financing all this consumption??? Answer me that one, will ya???)

Well, the Chinese for one but it's not just the Chinese... Remember the big tax cuts for the wealthy??? Remember how Bush said that this would invigorate our economy??? Well, those tax cuts haven't done that... There are no new factories... We are producing less durable goods, not more... We have outsourced "production" to China and other countries where kids still work in sweat shops...

And back to those tax cuts... Where have those dollars gone??? Well, lots of them have gone into ***financing*** the consumption spree that Americans have been caught up in...

Buy, buy, buy... If you ain't buyin' then yer neighbors are gonna talk, yer co-workers are gonna talk, yer bosses are gonna talk... Buy, buy, buy... And don't worry, we'll finance you with the tax relief that you gave us????

Hmmmmmmmm???

Don't take a Wes Ginny Slide Rule to tell which wzay the wind blows and it blows hard into the bank accounts of the upper 1% of Americans and hard into China...

Yeah, this is the biggest ****conspiracy**** ever as the Republican party is out to keep every middle class (haha) family in debt and punchin' a time clock until the day they die on Boss Hog's widget assembly line....

Yes, the revolution is over!!!

We lost!!!

Now get yer asses back in the cotton fields!!!

Ya hear, boy???
