I sincerely wish I had mod points right now...

So when Reagan managed an economy based on massive deficit spending, that was somehow ok? When W and the Republican Congress did the same, it was ok? When the huge tax breaks to the wealthy did zero to stem the job losses of the past decade (remember the stories about soup lines in 2003), that was ok? The damage to the national credit was due to the same Republicans who created the debt announcing they would refuse to pay for it.

Class warfare has been waged since 1980, and lemmings like you who are blinded by ideology refuse to look at the reality of empirical results. How does it feel to be a tool of your own ruin?

Actually we are asking people who benefit disproportionately to pay a [very] little extra for that privilege, such that the services of government can be applied for everyone. In the post-war era the economy exploded because more people had more money to spend. Nominal highest tax rate was 90%, which ended up being around 45% in actual. You can say "horse shit" all you want, but the economy was damaged in the 80s by the drastic drops in top tax rates and beginning of capital deregulation which encouraged the taking and hoarding of wealth from the economy. Reagan built his entire economy on massive deficit spending. Unlike W who tried the same thing in the last decade, Reagan also re-raised taxes to buffer the impact.

Look at any banana republic where a dictator takes power. A very few hoard the wealth, the middle-class disappears, and the economy tanks. You are arguing a hollow and false ideology against an empirical history of fact.

I propose that YOU go to Somalia where you will find that it is a once-prosperous country held in economic slavery by a very few who hoarded all the wealth.

Nobody is denying the right of a capitalist to earn wealth. The denial is for them to harm the rest of society in the process.

ah yes, that is possible. But cell companies will try to squeeze every last drop from their infrastructure so it will be many years before they go away.

Not quite sure what your point is. Mine is that airport radar is critical safety equipment that I don't want compromised so some teen can stream One Direction in HD.

seriously...

you're a djerk.

It's a play on "Borked" (hint "Robert Bork" - Google it) and the native country of the artist Bjork.

nice...

Somebody had to say it.

We had 8 of them in my Jr. High math class. Not content playing Oregon Trail, I started learning BASIC and transferred over to my dad's IBM PC. That was my beginning of a wonderful career in IT.
