Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
** Well not everybody, just those who are unable to qualify for the 15% tax that money managers pay on earned income... that isn't categorized as "earned income".
And BTW, which party is most in favor of "free trade"? I seem to recall that our pals in the Club for Growth, as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the CATO Institute, told us how the free movement of capital would be "good for America". How's that workin' for us? Those are all right leaning, if not GOP surrogate groups.
I'm not a protectionist. And I think that free trade is fine, and necessary in a global economy. But free trade, that is not also fair trade, simply guarantees a victory for those who are willing and able to cheat. And that's been the case going on about 20 years. During the term of Reagan we were blessed with the LBO and junk bonds. We have allowed our once strong manufacturing base to be destroyed, in part because of paper shufflers who have figured out how to use a company's pension fund as the down payment on a no-money-down deal to buy a company, and then raid it for its cash and assets. And if the company goes belly-up, the U.S. taxpayer gets hooked for the pensions that can no longer be paid.
So I'm not so much pro-Obama and I'm most certainly not a Democrat (bifurcation gets incredibly boring after a short while
). I'm just against these bullshit artists who would sell their own mother to make a buck... but wave the flag just enough to keep the sheeple thinking that they are what's right with America. IMO, they're a BIG part of what's wrong with America.
