A problem, and I'm against all of our current free-trade deals, but some of that is inevitable. We're at almost full employment in America, if all those factories came home, we wouldn't have enough people to work them.


"Trickle-down" isn't a theory, it's the way capitalism works, and the more gov't gets in the way of the trickle, the less trickles down. I don't know about you, but I never got a job from a poor man, and it's basic common sense that the healthier your employer's bottom line is, the more likely you are to get a raise.

You're right on that one.

Homeless people are either lazy or crazy. The crazy ones should be locked up, and I don't care if the lazy ones die and rot in their own filth.

This is one where party differences matter. Democrats generally raise taxes, republicans generally do not. One of the few things that honorless pig, Bush, has done right is cut taxes every year.

Inflation is non-existant in America at the moment, for more reasons than I care to list right now.

As it should be. Nobody "lives" on minimum wage. I read stats on it recently, from memory, like 90% of people earning minimum wage are teenagers, or unskilled spouses who just want to earn a few extra dollars for the household.

You're wrong, mostly.
