What will happen when 77 million baby boomers get no social security to pay for tax cuts for the rich?

We'll have so sell off our big screen TV's or secong Hummers and our hot tubs or else we'll end up in the soup kitchen line. But it will be great for folk music. Great wealth never led to great music.

I don't buy toys. I wish I could. I will be homeless when I can no longer work.

Besides, my big TV is 27 inches, we drive Hondas, and I wouldn't have a hot tub if you gave it to me (too much trouble to maintain). I would lefer have at my bedde's head twenty bokes bound in black or rede....

I also don't have golf clubs, downhill skis, an SUV of any sort, a boat, a motorcycle, a snowboard, a surfboard (in Idaho??), my own airplane, a fly rod (yet), a parachute, or much of a pension.

The War on Terrorism will be considered tame if Bush triggers a revolution. Our nation went to war in 1775 for a tax on tea!

Keep trying Peter. You're bound to hit a sensitive chord (no pun intended)if you keep on trying.

We have a revolution every couple of years Peter. At our biennial revolution in November, every one of our congresspersons come up for re-election. Also one third of our senators need to get permission to screw us again. And this year we even get to say yay or nay to the head screwball. Just get out there and work for the replacement candidates of your choice. If you really think its time for a change, then use the system that will change it. Otherwise quit your bellyaching.

Actually - IIRC - The tax on Tea was imposed to pay the costs of "Redcoats" defending the colonies from the French, Spaniards and Ahem, Native Americans !

Benedict Arnold was a much understood man !

As long as the tax cut for the rich is made permanent we will all be fine.

Should I buy or sell? What's the latest Dow Jones on .44 magnums? God, I got a ton of 'em and I'd sure like to know whether or not to hold. Maybe I can sell short...nah, I'd take a bath. Somebody tell me what to do!

Oh, wait, it's Saturday here and the markets are closed for the weekend.




(LH: I have a cavalry saber and a bow -- recurve, 45 lbs. draw -- and I'm seriously thinking about another sword, either a Viking repro or a rapier repro.)

Forget bullets. Invest in tents. They'll be all we can afford to live in.

Swords are very cool, Rap. A couple of movies lately have given them some great coverage, namely LOTR and "The Last Samurai", both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't get out to see "Kill Bill", however. There are some specialty stores now that sell swords. My preference is the Japanese samurai blade, cos I've always had this thing going with Japan.

Peter,

I suspect one of the reasons your thread isn't getting that much sympathetic support is the title. Liberals aren't enticed in by the phrase "Invest in bullets."

How about "Avert Revolution, Vote Democrat" or something?

Nerd, Ofcourse you are correct. The thread name should be changed. I was all worked up when I posted. I'm better now. Sorry to offend anybody with that leading phrase.

Wesley S, Who is going to be able to buy your old toys? There will be a glut on the market cause we'll all be trying to raise food money. We'll all be planting not Victory Gardens - but "Survivor Gardens" The rich won't want our castoffs.

What is the answer? I'm following Alaska Mike's suggestions now.Trying to convert Bushites to our side. If that doesn't work-Revolution will be the answer. Studs Turkel's Book-(I think it was "Working") Sally Rand said in the next depression

Peter,

I didn't think it was offensive, just that most liberals wouldn't bother to follow the link. I have no idea why I first did :-)

Well, I'm not gonna shoot anyone over this 'cause there are other effective ways of getting one's points across...

Actually, what I see happenin' is that Soutern Man is gonna see this comin' and he'll gladly do the shootin'... That scenerio can occur...

But what is more apt to occur is that the ruling class will find itself increasingly isolated. They won't feel as comfy as they do today on the road in their $600,000 RV/Bus's with the car behind it as folks start to take out their hostilities on anything that respresents the bounty of the moneyed class... Actually, given the jobless recovery, if it is a recovery at all, I can see Boss Hog startin' to take heat every time he steps out of the house...

NASCAR may be fun but it ain't no substitute fir a job, or health care...

Getting back to Sally- She said in the next depression Americans will not be standing in soup lines or selling apples on the street corner. They will be plundering & taking whatever they need to survive. That's happening already. Then we'll find out who really has an arsenal-methinks it won't be "US"
