Message:: [QUOTE="PeacePeople, post: 1207994, member: 20082"]I take serious offense to the "simply lazy" statement you made. It is flat out ridiculous, and while there are plenty of lazy people in this country, there are even more that would like to be working and earning a fair wage for their labors. While the politicians may be voted in, they are voted in by less than 50% of the population for many reasons; apathy, disenchantment with the system, inablity to get real issues to the forefront, and the list goes on. The reality of that is the 2 party system is a joke in my opinion and will not take this post down that path. If you knew as much about the banking system as you thought you did, you wouldn't have posted many of the things you did. You also blamed the wrong generation for the ails of this system, IMO. It's not the "greatest", it's the baby boomers. Take a good look at what the higher education system taught them in the 60's and 70's and you'd realize the shift from making things to selling things happened there. So did the idiocy of cheapest labor costs, instead of most/more effective labor costs, and the list goes on, and on and on. It's sad when you take a good look at it, we want to make things better for our children, but in the end make it much harder on them. I appreciate the things you point out in this thread as it makes me look at the other side of the coin, but I have a very hard time swallowing misplaced blame.[/QUOTE]
