The rich are doing everything they can to destroy the great things about this country. They will not be happy till there is no police, only private security that they can afford. They will not be happy until there are no public roads, only toll roads that they can afford. They will not be happy until only they can afford to own a home and will rent them to us. The wealthiest 5% of the country will not be happy until the other 95% of us are slaves to them. The sad part is that 50% of the country is too stupid to see it. - concernedcitizen Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:23:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7922-all-eyes-on-jindals-friday-budget-proposal#comment-15562 Thanks Chicken Little for highlighting my spelling blunder: people! You failed to catch another syntactic error earlier in paragraph three: "it is to create a new Republican aristocracy..." Observe we do not have edit features here! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Sat, 12 Mar 2011 04:29:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7922-all-eyes-on-jindals-friday-budget-proposal#comment-15547 To Gaius Cilnius Maecenas -------------------- Yah, right. And power to peoiple! - Chicken Little Fri, 11 Mar 2011 19:26:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7922-all-eyes-on-jindals-friday-budget-proposal#comment-15520 We will have years of fighting over State Budgets in this nation. The vulgar Republican kelptocracy ["power to steal without economic motive"] has reduced this nation's internal wealth by a steady stream of crimes for thirty years. Privatization of government services in the healthcare and penal systems will further sicken and criminalize respectively our citizenry. The financial crimes of the Bush Administration had brought us the Great Recession; now the Republican governors of the nation will bring us the Great Depression. Once you destroy state government jobs [city, region & state], you reduce further consumership, which reduces further the need for labor, which further reduces taxes paid into the system. What is the purpose of all this damn nonsense on the part of the ignorant Republicans: it is the create a new Republican aristocracy supported on the backs of the working people! Once you destroy your vital middle class, it requires 50 to a 100 years to bring it back! Read world history. We are not the first society to destroy ourselves by overt financialization of our social-economic-political culture. [Read several books by Neil Fergusson of Jesus College, Oxford University & Harvard University; also read Professor David S. Landes, "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" (1998)] What is the solution? There is none. Our society will grow anger, fear & pain (the raw ingredients of violence) in the consciousness of the majority of our citizens. This will lead to early and untimely death for millions of our citizens (about 30 million of them). These deaths will not be noteworthy, since it will be our poor, insane, and sick who die! Lastly, it should be obvious what Governor Jindal will cut: He will decimate our educational and our health systems. The very two systems requird to bring one out of a Great Depression to stop the economic "vicious cycle." Under the rubric of "fiscal prudence" more than ten thousand crimes will be committed against the majesty of the people of Louisiana by the small, narrow band of radical Republicans who are the paid whores of powerful corporate interests in our Energy, Insurance & Banking sectors. The peoiple will be crushed---they do not even stand a chance against this onslough of meretricious vulgar greed of 0.04% of our society! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Thu, 10 Mar 2011 21:40:55 +0100
