Big Government : In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)

WOW, the more you post the crazier it gets, I think the bottom line here is... I, as a practising Catholic look for the GOOD in all people, you as a ???? look for the bad in people, I am very happy in my life and feel very fortunate to have good relationships with people of ALL nationalities races and religions, where you on the other hand lead a very shallow closed life, you make determinations based on some narrow minded view of people, I feel very sorry for you, try looking for the good in people and I think your life will change for the better, after all, you don;t seem to be very happy, hope things get better for you.

Why do you insist on getting in the mud with people like Andysdead, why not show you are above such vitriol, why use this forum to trash Teddy? There are crazy people on both sides, why would you want to put yourself in that camp?

Why is this relevant? I went to the site that Andrew help create, The Huffington Post, I just wanted to see what people on the left were saying, I read about 6 pages of the over 2100 comments and I could not find anything negative, all the comments were positive , people may not agree with his politics but they respect his rights and freedoms to express his views, you have a right to dislike Teddy, but is this really the time to express it??

I didn't say there would never be a top 400, what I am saying is that having an economy where the top 400 have more wealth than the bottom 50% is disastrous, and that is not my view it is the view of just about every living economist on the planet, please give me the name of one who would disagree. "This class conflict strategy of the left appeals to those who know they have failed at life and desperately need someone on whom to blame that failure." We are pointing blame at a failed system, a system that has allowed a Plutocracy to exist, a system that has allowed money to take over our political system. a system that has determined that money is speech and therefore the ones with the most money have the loudest voices, these are just a few examples of whom we blame, these examples are some of the SAME issues raised by the Tea Party back when I was in full support of the Tea Party, why did the Tea Party s message change??

I think the bigger question here is... should the parking attendant be paid less than a living wage, should we allow employers to essentially have a slave work force? before you get all worked up let me explain myself... When slave ownership was legal, they provided clothing, food and a roof over their heads, today if you earn minimum wage you cannot afford all three of the essentials of life, oh yes, you would have your freedom, but what is freedom if you cannot afford the basic necessities of life? The average "minimum" living wage in the US is a around 12 dollars an hour, if an employer is paying 7 dollars an hour in a state that has a minimum living wage of 12 dollars an hour, what do you call that employer??

Do yourself favour, read the findings by leading economists, check out the links I have posted for your friend Bohemond, unless you prefer to continue to go through life with your head in the sand, up to you.

"In fact, the top 1% (therefore roughly 3 million Americans) controls 22% of the wealth in the US, a figure essentially unchanged since the 1970s." Here are the views of economists, many references available, just ask.. http://www2.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth... http://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/?docid=... http://multinationalmonitor.org/mm2003/03may/may0... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/opinion/12madof... This is one article of several hundred backed by an equal amount of published articles: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/16/busine… - rich do not pay 80% of taxes as someone claimed.

Personally I could care less if you believe me, I certainly don't need to waist any more time on you, but if you are interested in a response to your bigoted view on Muslims please read my reply to Off Dooty.

So you are saying that if you are a Muslim you must be a terrorist, do I have you right? Do you remember how the Nazi's used propaganda to convince the people of Germany that the Jews were terrorists? I can show many quotes from the Bible that are violent, but I like most Christians follow the peaceful teachings of the Bible, it is NO different with the Muslim religion, the Koran is by far more peaceful than violent, unfortunately you have a small group of radicals in each Religion Do you know any Muslims? I do, if you have an interest ask me about them I will fill you in on their charity and kindness and hopefully I can dispel any bigoted myths you have about them. Bible quotes.... "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34 Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . saiah 13:16 "Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." Deuteronomy 13:15 "Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly . . . " Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death . . . "

"Equality of opportunity doesn't mean we have to pay for your degree" India pays for ALL educational costs, they understand that it is an investment that pays for itself 100 fold, it doesn't matter if you come from poverty or wealth you have the same opportunity, equality of education offers opportunities promotes socio-economic mobility and better future economic outcome. How do you suggest we compete with India when 2/3's of Americans cannot even consider higher education due to the high costs?

Ya ok, I am a partner in a business and work for a company earning straight "juice" , what handouts are you speaking of? What makes you think you know who I am, do you always paint people with a broad brush? I suppose you think all Muslims are terrorist, do I have you right?

I love how the right tries to paint the left as violent thugs and how the right portrays itself as the model of civility, you my friend must be the right wings poster boy for civility, do I have that right? Do you mind if I repost your comments? I think the left would like to see the civility that the right wing is always boasting about.

I don't want to live in a Plutocracy or Oligarchy, and yes, that is what we have today, thanks to the burgeoning inequality, how can a society prosper when the top 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom 50% ?? btw, inequality breeds inequality therefore the disparity will only grow.

Jim, why are you getting so upset? Why do you feel the need to resort to name calling? you do know that name calling is a clear sign you are loosing the argument, right? Why is it that every time I bring up the FACT that the US has the lowest tax rate in 50 years and I point out that it has done NOTHING to improve the economy you blow a gasket? "Unequal societies do worse, according to almost every quality-of-life indicator." Prime Minister, Cameron. A survey by the World "Economic"Forum, says its members see widening economic disparities as one of the main global risks over the next decade. Countries with greater disparities of income fare worse on all manner of social indicators, from higher murder rates to lower life expectancy. Several prominent economists now reckon that inequality was a root cause of the financial crisis. Another argument is that inequality perverts politics, with Wall Street’s influence in Washington as the main culprit of the unhealthy clout of a plutocratic elite. When have I ever suggested that economics and political system were one of the same? Why don't you explain how an economic system that is based on continual growth is sustainable. BTW, please watch "Gasland" incredible documentary on fracking, after watching you should have a better idea on how corporations manipulate policy in order to increase profits (returns for shareholders) at the detriment of the public.
