Judged: 1 1 1 "prove" what? The ACLU defends the constitutional rights of people...Sometimes those rights annoy people, but they are still the law. If you don't like it, work toward getting an Amendment to change it. |

"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"? funny stuff. |
Oh this is too cool... There's a whole site on just quotes... I liked: "If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy It's from 1978, and it's still "breathing" There's a book, game, movie.... I'm a house sitter, so this will keep me amused for awhile... Thanks..... |

Judged: 1 1 To fix the economy, we must boost demand. To do that, we have to address inequality./ July 22, 2012|By Joseph E. Stieglitz / http://tinyurl.com/bfnbyks Despite what the debt and deficit hawks would have you believe, we can't cut our way back to prosperity. No large economy has ever recovered from serious recession through austerity. But there is another factor holding our economy back: inequality. Any solution to today's problems requires addressing the economy's underlying weakness: a deficiency in aggregate demand. Firms won't invest if there is no demand for their products. And one of the key reasons for lack of demand is America's level of inequality — the highest in the advanced countries.  Because those at the top spend a much smaller portion of their income than those in the bottom and middle, when money moves from the bottom and middle to the top (as has been happening in America in the last dozen years), demand drops. The best way to promote employment today and sustained economic growth for the future, therefore, is to focus on the underlying problem of inequality. And this better economic performance in turn will generate more tax revenue, improving the country's fiscal position. Even supply-side economists, who emphasize the importance of increasing productivity, should understand the benefits of attacking inequality. America's inequality does not come solely from market forces; those are at play in all advanced countries. Rather, much of the growth of income and wealth at the top in recent decades has come from what economists call rent-seeking — activities directed more at increasing the share of the pie they get rather than increasing the size of the pie itself. http://articles.latimes.com/print/2012/jul/22... |

yet if the middle class is still spending more than they were, say twenty years aggo, as they are, thhen the percentage of what the rich have doesnt make a difference, does it? there is not a finite pie of wealthh out there. if some make themselves more, that does not mean you got less. math is fun! |

yet people are spending more than they were ten years ago, twenty years ago. aggain, their is no finite pie of wealth. just because some are making more, does not mean thhe middle class as less. yes, we went trou our larggest recession, so te short term earnings for them are down, but it is not due to any inequality in wealthh. |

Judged: 1 1 Americans used to retire back in the 1950s, 1960s. 1970s. Today people well into their 70s and 80s are still working hard just to make ends meet. ========== Can You Afford To Retire? Video / http://tinyurl.com/h8xdx The baby boomer generation is headed for a shock as it hits retirement: many of them will be long on life expectancy but short on savings. The two main strategies for funding retirement -- lifetime pensions and 401(k)-style savings plans -- are in serious trouble. In "Can You Afford to Retire?" FRONTLINE correspondent Hedrick Smith ("Is Wal-Mart Good for America?") investigates this looming financial crisis and the outlook for middle-class Americans.(more)» http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/retir... |
