Well said. :)

@ Darthvader420 - You really should have lived in the Soviet Union during the 70's and 80's to see how well socialism worked. Demonizing the rich is a great way to lower everybody's...

Come on, everybody knows the Romulans use a cloaking device which consumes so much power that they can't use their shields. :D

The cloaking device technology used will be very effective in evading...

Well if we keep on burning fossil fuels there will be no need to pay for heating. How's that for some positive spin? :D

Darth,

Do you see anything but capitalist conspiracies? Oil prices were high because demand was high, supply was tight, and people believed (rightly or wrongly) prices would continue to climb...

How about this solution. Give the auto makers the money, put the UAW in charge, and tell them (the UAW) that since they have what they want (money and control) they are PERSONALLY responsible to pay...

Peter, and others, were certainly right but that's not really surprising. When you are looking back at history there are ALWAYS people who were right and people who were wrong. Nobody is a sage...

And I can spot posters who rely on CNN and The New York Times ....

FOX = Republican/Conservative News Network
CNN = Democratic/Liberal New Network.

Watch them both then make up your mind. I find the truth usually lies somewhere in between these two extremes.

So doesn't that mean that three quarters of GM cars are average or above average? Why did CR choose to describe GM's vehicle lineup in such a negative way? I'd certainly like to see more GM card in...

Kind of like Clinton did? Pardoning loads of criminals and cronies his last day in office?

I agree. I was just trying to be subtle. The Dems were the primary drivers in lowering the lending standards of Fannie and Freddie. (Maybe because their likely voters would benefit, ya think?) The...

There will only be 1 major US auto company that survives. I would not place bets on which.

As for the stock price, in the short run the stock price of a company can be wrong but in the long run...

I have several clients who have worked in the mortgage originating business for years and they generally agree that they were forced to make loans to people who could not afford them so long as these...

I'm glad we can agree on some things but it is hard to take anything you say too serviously when you make comments like this one. Do you have any proof that McCain has dementia?

He is just doing...

Yes, what he said.

Thomas Jefferson is certainly rolling is his grave listening two these two candidates.

My humble observation is that you are so agitated and angry with "the right" and "those evil, greedy, corporations and fat cats" that you see none of the positives that free markets have brought. ...

Where did I say that? All I said was that was the real change to the tax code. I am trying very hard to be reasonable but you keep trying to read things into my words to force a conflict.

IMHO...

I do not think there is really much difference between Obama's plan and McCain's plan. In the big picture it's splitting hairs. Neither one is talking about making major changes but rather they...

I actually agree a lot of the last two posts. The problem I have is at what point we declare someone as "making too much"? Obama says anybody making over $250,000 can afford to pay more... I...

I realize that. But since then I've earned between $25,000 and $50,000 per year as my latest startup venture gets going. I few years I was acutally under the official poverty level and received tax...
