You can be proud of yourself
You want everybody else to help you pay for your healthcare, then brag about screwing your workers by farming their work out cheaper. A true Liberal NoBama fan.
If people would stop being so selfish and think of the greater good instead of their take-home paycheck, this Amerika would be so much better.

You and NoBama are a pair. He made over 5 million dollars last year, and you are making money at the expense of the people that worked for you.
How much are either one of you going to give to the less fortunate to spread the wealth around?
Oh Yea, you have a lot of balls displaying that avatar.
A phony in every respect.
You can think whatever you want of him, but what he's saying is true. People are in business to make money, bottom line. He may be exagerating to make a point because oddly enough, people aren't getting it. Duh. I don't know that many people who don't need to work for a living.
The headline in today's paper was "We still have no idea what caused the stock market drop". Oh yea? Well look behind the curtain idiots!
We're all wage slaves, prostitutes for the power elite pimps and to the almighty dollar. Who here has put morals, their neighbors, the recession crap ahead of their paycheck? I know I have out of force, and I still contribute to charities. The state of California takes 3 days pay a month from me to pay off the liberal BS debts.
Why should I pay for it?
I shouldn't, but Arnold had to do something to act like the government was cutting back, so instead of cutting wastefull pork spending, they take money from the lowly workers.
This whole government crap is BS. We need Ron Paul to get rid of them all asap.
Hmmm.. I feel better now.
I agree 100%. Welcome to Gotham City, or Hell to the wage slaves, and Heaven to the power elite, and they're not going to give away their power and money, so we're going to have to make changes.
That's why I don't begrudge anyone how they get their needs met in this society. It's a dream/nightmare we signed up for anyway. There's no one to blame but ourselves. If you don't like what you see change it.
Move to a place where it's humane and the living is easy.
That's why I don't begrudge anyone how they get their needs met in this society.
Really smart. Yea, do like they do and that will make it all better.
Let me guess.
You voted for "Yes we can" Change.
You shop at Walmart to buy all the cheap crap from China.
You drive a new, or near new car, but it isn't American made.
And now you want to move to Australia to try and get away from what's going on, but you don't realize the same thing is going on there.
Car companies are laying off because of foreign competition.
Cheer up, you can buy the same crap from China in the Walmarts there. No matter that people are layed off there from their manufacturing jobs because of all the foreign crap on the market.
If you want "change", it starts between your ears. Buy American for starters. If nobody buys that foreign crap, they wouldn't import it. If there is a need for the product, somebody will make it here in the USA.
It really isn't rocket science.
lol, we don't have Walmarts in Australia.
By the time Gina gets there, Walmart will be there. If not there is always Kmart. Same difference. Same problems.

WAL-MART, the world's biggest retailer, which last week gave up on Germany, is reportedly looking at trying its luck in Australia and is sizing up our two biggest supermarket operators, Coles Myer and Woolworths.
The UK's Sunday Telegraph reported Wal-Mart - valued at $US185 billion ($242 billion) - "is believed to be close to making its first acquisition in Australia".
It said that executives from Wal-Mart, which is based in Bentonville, Arkansas, recently visited Australia to look at possible targets.
Coles Myer, with a market value of nearly $14 billion, and Woolworths, valued at more than $22 billion, were reported to "have been identified as likely candidates".
Australia does manufacture cars, and they have the same problems with imports that the USA does
"Holden, Ford, Mitsubishi and Toyota have asked the Australian Government to restrict further drops in tariffs come 2010. The current tariffs are 10% with a proposed reduction to 5% in 2010. The 4 Australian manufacturers are scared that at 5 per cent, the low tariffs will drive the Australian manufacturing process inviable as the cost of imported cars reduce even further."
"Well the facts don’t lie, in 1988 70% of cars sold in Australia were Australian made, in 2006? 20%, thats a 50% drop in 18 years and the trend is only continuing!"
" I do know that the Australian car industry hires a great deal of people, (around 70,000), but nonetheless, the big issue here is that local manufacturers keep asking for more money and demand high tariffs for imports so that they can remain competitive. "
if people can get a cheaper, more fuel efficient car from Korea, China, or Japan, they will.
Exactly my point.
Many of the consumers in Australia, and America are the ones that are responsible for the job/economy problems that we see ourselves in.
We want to make $15, $18, or $20 an hour, with sick leave, paid vacations, and retirements. Then we go buy products from countries that pay a few dollars a day to their workers.
American cars are also imported into Australia, they are not popular because they are not very fuel efficient, and the quality is no better than cars imported from elsewhere.
That may have been the case in the past, but as you can see from this chart, American cars hold 4 out of ten spots on the top ten fuel economy list, and the kicker is they haven't killed over 50 people like the manufacturers in the other 6 spots on the list. How's that for quality?
