I am most agreement ...Very good read, thanks Jeff.<br /><br />I am most agreement with your comment about our Founding Fathers. None of this would have passed the smell test. Peter Schiff said in one of his video blogs that if the Founding Fathers knew what our taxes would be like today they would have never revolted. <br /><br />Did you see Pollock's video series about the Great Reset? His premise is that the systemic collapse of our system has already occurred and people are ignorant of it and then there are those which will do whatever they can to try to save it. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74a8JgB0FIE" rel="nofollow">link</a><br /><br />This cabal that runs our lives needs to collapse soon. The way the left wing is treating the people who come out to protest the health care reform is a joke. I think these progressives want to vote to disband the citizens and find new ones. Now they are sending out their union (SEIU) thugs to intimidate and beat up people.<br /><br />We could change this very easily if we made took away voting rights from anyone who receives any form of government benefit they did not pay for, welfare, food stamps, medicaid. How come it is illegal for me to give you $1,000 to vote for you but it is legal for me to promise to steal $10,000 from someone else and give it to you if you vote for me.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899893479880360468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-37491496875103188452009-08-09T07:15:41.840-07:002009-08-09T07:15:41.840-07:00Herb

Most "special interests" are taken care of in this country via lobbying:)<br /><br />Anon<br /><br />I keep coming back to that thought as well.<br /><br />Do we just need a reset and start over with a new system? <br /><br />I wish I had the answer. The solution in my eyes is a devestating deflationary "reset" where prices are in line with incomes.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I don't think that the government is heading in this direction. The oligarchs are too obsessed with saving themselves.<br /><br />I am afraid that we will blow their heads off in the process of doing so.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450070920047311928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-71451758592031095622009-08-09T02:01:23.536-07:002009-08-09T02:01:23.536-07:00There might be a third option.

If it's so tightly regulated then why is it at a 26 year high? <br /><br />This feeds the inflation thesis if its so tightly regulated.<br /><br />The falling dollar has so many ramifications. <br /><br />Fleckie makes a great point here.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450070920047311928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-78503705991182026742009-08-08T23:34:09.024-07:002009-08-08T23:34:09.024-07:00Anon

Working together with their buddies in Wall Street, these elitists continue to rape and steal from the American people. <br /><br />GE and BAC clearly misleaded and lied to their investors. Their criminal actions resulted in tremendous loss of money for the investors. Once the crime is uncovered, shouldn't there be criminal charges against the financial officers and executives? Shouldn't they be fined out of their pockets? But instead, the shareholders of the respective companies have to pay. Talking about getting raped and coming back for the 2nd act. <br /><br />What a sicked country we live in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492542366661862113.post-8575770545271199052009-08-08T21:33:50.393-07:002009-08-08T21:33:50.393-07:00Get
