In my opinion it turned out: that instead of massive amounts of goods being trucked across the border, labor is coming across on foot. There are some trucks coming across but they are not carrying a legal product.
and yet lottery purchases are predominantly by lower income people who are allowing the tax burden to be shifted from the middle and upper classes to themselves, all in the name of higher education benefits - most of which again do not benefit the people who buy the lottery tickets....
People thinking like you are why the working class is in its present situation. Bush Jr., as I recall, repealed the trucking provision during his second term (he couldn't be elected again, so finish the hosing of those who elected him). If the present White House infestation manages to steal another term, you can kiss the country goodbye and say hello to your new masters, the socialist United Nations.
Just stating the FACTS !!!
Well said. Whats your solution? Mine is we need a real Labor Party that focuses on attacking the economic divide and restoring the value of work. Abortion and gun control are pretty basic issues and should be left up to refferendum votes in the states to be decided by the people directly. I work alongside people who want to be able to own any weapon ever created and those who feel that abortion is just another form of birth control. I dont agree with either of them but those are their beliefs and I'm not going to change them. Where most of us agree is that Corprations are taking over and taking it all for themselves and they are doing it by controlling legislature and the courts. Money being defined as Free speech I feel is an issue that affect voters across the spectrum and releavant to all. Look at how corporate policies exact penalties on free speech in the workplace and are now reaching into cyberspace, off the workplace to limit it there as well. To me if you can not cast a ballott then you can not participate. Why should we allow Corporations who obtained "personhood" but lack citizenbship and may be under foreign ownership participate in our electoral process through the use of the money they have at their disposal?
Those other countries made themselves financial slaves to those who could pay the bills. Greece could not pay so the Germans bailed them out.
Really? If those governments spent recklesly then shouldnt the people of those countries be able to hold them accountable?
Why do you even waste your time explaining to fools the realities of the financial mess????? I love the fact that the U.S. govt is telling European gov'ts what to do, get their house in order because those gov'ts are recking havoc with OUR financial system, and picking and choosing which prime ministers should step down......well, why doesn't our current govt step down, OUR financial mess isn't any better than the Europeans????......bottom line, they're all crooks....dems and repubics. Forget about Occupy Wall street....those are amateur protesters....the real protesters will march to Washington one day with guns ablazing and get our house in order.....that's the only way, brother! Violence and chaos is the only way to stop the greed.....only time will tell.
This was tried before by a few guys who happened to work on midnights and joined an anti tax organization. The problem is that the IRS went after a couple of them and garnished their pay.
