  1. You can add all of the mud you want, I stated that the law in Indiana was a law for the rich by the rich. I never mentioned North Carolina, you did. The whole purpose of my post which you have taken several places are that the rich are getting richer, the middle class is going away and will be poor if the trend continues. I did carry the example further and sorry you have a comprehension problem but I was trying to say if the gap between the rich and poor continues there will be a breaking point.
  2. I first stated that this is another law by the rich for the rich. Other examples are most tax loopholes, reducing max. taxes from 90% in the 50's to 70% in the 70's to less than 40% in the 90's to today's 36%. That is the basis for my entire argument. That as the gap continues to widen there will eventually be a revolution(of some sort). As the gap widens and the percentage of the uber rich increases to maybe 5% then the group is too large to be controlled and the pooch is screwed. The civil rights I implied would be the cause for the revolution would be somewhere on Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs between food and community. I accept that this is a little out there but it has happened before (French Revolution and others) and could happen here if we continue on the current path. We have too much of I, I, I, I, and me, me, me, me, and crying mine, mine, mine like my 2 year old grandson.
  3. After reading his posts you are right. I wonder if he has a definition of socialism? Anyhow he lacks a certain skill to understand, he just reply's based on the devils in his mind. Does he wear tin foil hats? I bet he watches Glen Beck.
  4. 1st let me state that I do believe in the United (as in union) States of America. So it will not start in Raleigh or even NC. As states rights tea partiers gain more control then the constitution will be challenged and possible another civil war, this time based on civil rights instead of slavery. So it depends how the states elect birthers and the gLEN bECKS of the world to feed them the small brained ideas of me, me, me and I, I, I, and crying mine, mine mine as my 2 year old does. If we continue on the path we are on now; eventually, when there is not enough for food, yea, the revolution will take place. The goal for the rich is always to have the gap as large as possible between themselves and the 'worthless folks who aren't so greedy that they will take advantage of others' without being so large as to create the revolution. Problem is the group is getting so large (2 to 5%) that the group will no longer be small enough to be controlled and the gap will grow and there will be mutiny.
  5. That is why the price is going up now, the dems can not give us a true plan to move us from oil so the oil companies have nothing to fear. OPEC has no fear of the repubs so it will be profits, profits, profits. If you have any money invest in Halliburton, Exxon, Shell and BP. Yes, I'm in favor of a high gas tax, I don't cars what it is used for just so it stays in the good old USA.
  6. Another law for the rich by the rich, no surprise. The gap between rich and middle class continues to grow. Soon it will be only rich and poor, the wealthy and the workers/slaves. Can the French Revolution be far away?

  8. Since this car does not work for you maybe a bicycle built for two:-) geeze, this car is a compact, what do you think? By the way, I'm 5'11" and never ride with the seat all the way back but if I did I would also be considerate of anyone in the back.
  9. I'm retired with 2 sons living close and each has 2 children. Right now we need 3 vehicles if all are traveling together. I would certainly consider the C-Max except the low ride because I need more ride height in my next vehicle. We will probably have to look @ the Explorer if we get 3 rows. If I were younger I would certainly have this high on my list.
  10. In North Carolina companies have to pay workers comp and most companies have had some type of 401K type of retirement with corp contributions.
  11. One of the highest taxes on US companies versus other countries is government supported health care. You mention our neighbors to the north, they have basic free health care the companies don't have to pay.
  12. I agree with you about law (have to) versus Grace (want to). First as a Christian I know I get better than I deserve and should want to (not have to) share that with other to show Christianity and Christ. Second is Christ paid the FULL price. Third I was not telling others how to live, I just pointed out that all of the conservative arguments were about ME and not US which I think is hypocritical, of which I am also guilty. This is how I try to live and was simply pointing out an observation. Fourth the concept of compassion and community is something of a higher order that is foundational of and for our constitution and country.
  13. Would you please explain how this works, how they exist to feed the addiction of socialist government.

YEA My youngest son and his wife aren't really capable of handling their finances ( BOTH HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES AND VERY INTELLIGENT BUT JUST CAN'T GRASP THE CONCEPT) so from time to time I help them even though my wife and I will have to settle for less in our wants and wishes. Not asking anyone else to do that for them we do it as a family. There are some out there who have no one else to help, I am happy for them to have a small portion of my taxes to help them not go hungry because I would not want to go hungry. DO YOU WANT THEM TO GO HUNGRY???? The question is compassion socialism or communism? For the social conservatives what did Jesus mean when HE said, "if your brother asks for your coat, give him your cloak also" and "sell all you have and give to the poor"? He never said "God helps them who helps them selves". Some have stated Jesus today would be a liberal socialist. Got anything to say to that? If so I would really like to learn.
  15. In the state of NC you have to buy auto insurance in order to get a drivers license, what it the difference?
  16. That is the problem, you think winning is something worth fighting for for you, I think winning is something that is good for all. D. W. A. R. F.
  17. I voted for Ford before the market opened and I have also voted with my $$$ with stock and two Ford vehicles. I have made about $50,000 over the last year or so on Ford and I think I will make more over the next 3 to 4 years.
  18. Have you watched the rates on Fed. bonds. It has been less than 1% for more than 2 years on 1 year bonds and if you think that will cause hyper-inflation you need to do some reading. DWARF
  19. I don't have to prove him wrong, I simply refuse to watch or listen, for me it is a waste of time. If you choose to listen and buy his message I think that is great. If you buy his foods I think that is even better. I regret even spending my time reading this garbage, if he is right I will be shit out of luck, but I will not be led about by what I describe a raving lunatic leading paranoid people looking for the worst of and from.......
  20. I'm with you blackhorse, just because someone says they have facts and research does not mean squat. Some people just want to be led. During the Y2K junk my mother-in-law believed all of the junk from Pat Robertson and still has stuff left that she bought. When someone says I'm a Christian and says I have all of this info means the same as anyone else says it. I am a Christian but I do not blindly follow anyone who claims the same. I look at the data and the facts and come to my own conclusion. Beck is a comedian who is saying anything to get folks to follow. SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!
  21. You are right, change or die and the only change Ford will make to the 150 to good for the future.
  22. BP- gulf oil spill Ford - Pinto Toyota - floor mats Ford - cruise control Enron - Fastow Madoff - Ponzi That is what I used to think until the above
  23. Marie Antoinette anyone? http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/shades.gif Can't make money selling widgets if no one makes widgets.
