Hell, even Safeway puts a request on their damn credit card machine. I've
complained to the manager, but it's not done any good.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.

Did you also tell him to not hire blacks? I'm sure he'd give it all the
consideration it was due.

There goes de-fumers racism again.

wrong.

wall street. wall street uses the govt as a private collection agency
to get the taxpayer to bail out the rich

socialism for the rich

For some like GM, Chrysler, Citi, BAC etc. I agree. These are the corrupt
ones that need bankruptcy to clean out the paracitical garbage.

I am a investor and capitalist, and I am dead against the corruption of
taxing people and corporations for dysfunctional welfare corporations. The
cost to all is too high in the end.

You are neither. You're a leech. You don't work. You're on the dole. You
will always be on the dole.

That's funny because I noticed this also... everyone wants a dollar for
this
or that... even at the checkstand in the local market. Well, perhaps it's
because times are tough, but I sure don't like the pressure tactics.

There are smaller retail stores that solicit for their "literacy fund."
Between the feds and states, counties/parishes and cities, far more money is
****ed down the drain than is spent on the military. More money to learn to
read????

Fraud and government are the new leading industries in the former U.S.,
except in the area of border patrol.

Sure did. Starting 2007 when unemployment started to rise, the congress
was democrat.

In fact, the timing is impecable. Create lots of cheqp debt and cause a
depression, the democrat way.

Are you sure you are an American? This Canadian immediately knew you
were BSing.

2007 democrat congress also marks the begining of this depression as
they chose to ignore interest rate invesions, essentially they created
artificially cheap debt...upsetting the balance between savings and debt.

Basically why I call this the "Great Depression of Government/Debt
2008-20xx".
