Hi
BJC,
Another person afraid to even put their signature with at least a Real name to
it at the end of their Posts? Maybe that make someone just
"Nobody", huh?
Tell me something, are there ANY People on this Group who remember what this
Country was formed for? Or what it stood for, for many years?
The Europeans came here for a new start, and to be able to "make it",
originally, without facing Religious persecution! Then, it kind of Morphed into
that
Fast forward to the 1960's, and it was post WWII, we freed the World, and
everyone except the Afro-Americans were getting "A Piece of the
Pie"! They even started to do better, until Reagan came along in
1981, and disenfranchised them, as well as starting to destroy the entire
Middle Class, or at least 70-75% of it in many ways!
In the 70's, there were GOOD Jobs! People had Medical Insurance, a 37-40 hour
work week, and they could afford a decent car & a house. About 60% of the
homes today are owned by those same people, or their parents.
The current generation(s) growing up are the FIRST American Citizens in 200
years who have less than their Parents and Grandparents!
WHY? It's not just "The Way it goes!" Or "Reality"!
It was a very cleverly deployed plan that started in the 80's .... With
Reagan's "Economic Recovery Act of 1981", to be precise! It was
written as a three part plan, with the first giving a 70% Tax Break to the
richest 4% of the Population! By step 3, it was supposed to "Trickle
Down" to the Middle Class & the Poor!
But Reagan and his cohorts never GOT to steps 2 or 3! Never even intended
to! They drained the whole Federal System and racked up a total of over
12 Trillion in US Debt, of which the Public never even knew about 2/3's of it!
Simultaneously, our whole US Infrastructure fell apart, Military spending got
out of Control, and we were getting 6 cents on a Dollar for what the Government
spent! Of course, as is now, with Halliburton, Reagan, the Republicans
and all of their Rich friends Cleaned UP, at our expense. From 1988-93 was the
worst Recession since 1929!
Oh, I forgot, Reagan Busted all the Unions, started taking away Benefits from
almost everyone, let Corporations increase hours from 40 average to 60 per
week. He also caused the biggest Banking Crisis in the
The Republicans also sent the entire Manufacturing segment of our Country
Overseas .... Except some Companies which Bush is NOW doing that with like the
Automotive Companies!
Bushing is SELLING what's left of our Country's Business Capacity to Foreign
Countries! Instead of re-tooling Automotive Plants like they did in WWII, etc.,
..... But now to build Maglev Trains and new Power Infrastructure (Both our
Power Systems & Transit Systems are falling apart), Bush and his New World
Order is taking apart
Our entire Electronics Industry is almost GONE! One word describes that
Reagan, Bush I & Bush II have sent over 40 Million Jobs Overseas, and
2-3 Million or more just this year alone!
Back to what this Country was formed for:
- Freedom,
right? WHAT freedom? To work so that all of your money goes to the
Rich?
Opportunity , correct? Less than 20% of baby Boomer's kids can afford to purchase their own Home! It was 66% not too long ago!- To
not be Overtaxed, Right ...Remember the American Revolution and
the Boston Tea Party? And Average American's Taxes are now WAY Higher than
the Colonists were! Ask any Libertarian ... We
are now taxed over 50%, including Taxes built into products
...Like Bread ...At the Source!
Is this
the Reality that you're accepting, BJC? You might as well be Nobody! Then
maybe they won't be able to TAX You!
Anyway, that's a little bit of History showing WHY you can't afford a House in
an
What happened, as it has in 4 Years in
By the way, I grew up in a very small
But there are NO Homes like that being built today! Not in NJ,
anyway! Why NOT? Why do homes have to be so big, and on 5 Acre Lots (Not
here ..Suburbs)?
The
It seems that the only thing that now Rules in this City is Greed, Money &
Power ........... And a Total effort to throw OUT the Poor! Bull CRAP
that the Rich aren't doing it? Who's going to buy those $400,000 to $1.2
Million Condos? If they built Affordable Housing, I wouldn't even be
complaining at all! Affordable to Middle Class, as well as Poor!
