In reply to Well done, Resistance. The

who in reality don't have any solutions, or if they do, can't get them implemented.

That's assuming they really want to solve the working man’s dilemma.

Always remember; the system DOES work, for those at the top; why should they care about those at the bottom unless they’re forced to; in order to maintain their self-interest.

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard Britain runs their economy, based upon a + 20% unemployment rate.

It keeps the working class in line.

"Be glad you have a job and don't you dare ask for a raise, when there are so many out of work".

I suspect, if our country could model itself after Britain, the World wide Mega Corporate Capitalists would be in hog heaven.

8 1/2 % is the bogus figure, maybe we're already near 20% real unemployment and not a damn thing will be done, to counter the objective.

The working class is doomed, unless we can make the top 1% realize, they are about to lose too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta

Magna Carta was the first document forced onto an English King by a group of his subjects, .......to limit his powers by law and protect their privileges.

The 1215 charter required King John of England to proclaim certain liberties, and accept that his will was not arbitrary,…..

Unless forced to meet the demands of the working class, the NEW feudal lords will ignore us.

They're not looking for a solution.

WHY should they; the system works .....for them and their dupes.

Build more Coliseums for working class entertainment and tax the peasants who became restless.

Why should it cost the 1% to keep the working class pacified, if the working class will accept the pacifier without rebelling.

What a great system; solutions that work.

Well done, Resistance. The

Well done, Resistance. The unemployed are being ignored by everyone except politicians trying to score points and who in reality don't have any solutions, or if they do, can't get them implemented.

I think the new normal rate is simply going to be higher--unless we can mount a massive and intelligent, drug de-toxing, WPA.

But not enough attention is being given to the actual change in demographics. I personally know of two people who are on disability, one who took early retirement and a lump sum, one who took early retirement at 62 because he could, and one who retired in his early seventies---all of this within the past year.

What is the tipping point where teavangelicals and Democrats together pick up the pitch forks and overturn Citizens United?

In reply to What I, for the life of me,

Thanks Stilli. You have to hand it to Republican politicians. They have half the country believing that a company will invest in expansion and more jobs---regardless of aggregate demand. And if their taxes go up a little they will forego a dead cinch winner of an investment opportunity. Like I'm going to turn down new customers because I will pay a slightly higher tax on new revenue, foregoing incremental revenue. Go figure.

Thanks, Mr. Smith.

In reply to Obama/Romney: Nathanael Greene vs. Lord Cornwallis

Normally a sitting President, with these low job numbers would lose.

8 1/2 % is now acceptable? The new norm?

(I wonder if Cornwallis ever thought to tell King George; don't anger the majority? No one really cares about the 8 1/2 percent, at least not enough to go to war over.)

8-1/2 % + Works for the capitalists and the majority stays calm.

A new point will be made by the Capitalist parties.

"Who said the people would rebel"?

"The people..... will ........eat shite sandwiches and like it".

Call it pate, tell them "it's the new rave".

Tell them to hold their noses; it'll be just fine.

Eventually the people will take notice,........ just not now.

A new television program is about to begin this fall, called "Good cop/bad cop" and of course, the public will whimper about their neighbors plight; but as long as it doesn't affect the majority, it'll be acceptable.

Remember; it's called a recession when your neighbor is out of work; a depression when you are. 8 1/2 percent is acceptable?

"TMZ" reruns are about to begin".

When does "American Idol" start?

Now if we could just get the 'job creators' to both sit on AND wring their hands at the same time ... we'd at least generate some laughter from the images ...

P.S. We're all down that same rabbit hole.
