    On your best day you wouldn't be even able to get within shouting distance of the same rug that Maddow would sniff once or twice before sending packing.

    Thinking "fukk you jack, I'm alright" so why should my taxes go to social welfare.

    Thinking that Ayn Rand style philosophy is anything more than an excuse to be selfish.

    Do you think there is any chance to change any of those things?
    I did I really did, until we re-elected GW Bush. Then I gave up.

    what a classic hater

    Think we already did the "Hope an Change" thing and it sucked. Nothing like a utopian's take on another country from the shit hole he lives in.

    No hating IO.

    I fear for the USA and want it to prosper.

    Double the cost of gas. Double the minimum wage and more welfare programs that gives the worst off an opportunity to move up the social scale, so that America's weakest link is a little stronger for the benefit of everyone in that chain.

    Do it whilst America is still the richest country and can choose to afford it if the will is there. Before it's too late and it really can't be afforded anymore.

    Civil war is inevitable eventually if the social situation keeps going the same way.
