I am a totalitarian state guy myself...........now if I could just find land………… and some minions

[Frosted]

Well I just lost my job...so I'm banking on Obama taking care of me and my family



ya right...!

Mate - I'm so very sorry to hear that. I hope you find employment again soon.

I was watching a programme last night about Americans below the poverty line and it was really shocking - 45 million I think. There was almost nil care from the state for those unfortunate to be made redundant which really did make me very sad. People will always fall on their arse in life and I do think that it's the states duty to help them back on their feet rather than letting them rot.

I wish the USA could go back to the fifties no matter if it is a democrat, republican or communist party.

In 1950, the United States was #1 in GDP per capita.
In 2012, the United States is #13 in GDP per capita.

In 1950, redistribution of wealth was considered to be something that "the communists" did.
In 2012, the U.S. government redistributes more wealth than anyone else in the world.

In 1950, about 13 million Americans had manufacturing jobs.
In 2012, less than 12 million Americans have manufacturing jobs even though our population has more than doubled since 1950.

In 1950, the entire U.S. military was mobilized to protect the borders of South Korea.
In 2012, the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada are wide open and now there are 1.4 million gang members living inside the United States.

In 1950, there were about 2 million people living in Detroit and it was one of the greatest cities on earth.
In 2012, there are about 700,000 people living in Detroit and it has become a symbol of what is wrong with the U.S. economy.

In 1950, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was slightly over the 200 mark.
In 2012, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is threatening to soar over the 13,000 mark.

In 1950, corporate taxes accounted for about 30 percent of all federal revenue.
In 2012, corporate taxes will account for less than 7 percent of all federal revenue.

In 1950, the median age at first marriage was about 22 for men and about 20 for women.
In 2012, the median age at first marriage is about 28 for men and about 26 for women.

In 1950, many Americans dressed up in suits and dresses before getting on an airplane.

In 1950, many Americans regularly left their cars and the front doors of their homes unlocked.
In 2012, many Americans live with steel bars on their windows and gun sales are at record highs.

In 1950, the American people had a great love for the U.S. Constitution.
In 2012, if you are "reverent of individual liberty", you may get labeled as a potential terrorist by the U.S. government.

In 1950, the United States loaned more money to the rest of the world than anybody else.
In 2012, the United States owes more money to the rest of the world than anybody else.

In 1950, the U.S. national debt was about 257 billion dollars.
In 2012, the U.S. national debt is 59 times larger. It is currently sitting at a grand total of $15,435,694,556,033.29. Surely our children and our grandchildren will thank us for that.

One of the only things that is constant in life is change.
Whether we like it or not, America is going to continue to change.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, about 70 percent of all American adults were married.
Today, only about 50 percent of all American adults are married.
We are more independent, less religious, more addicted to entertainment and more doped up on prescription drugs than Americans used to be.
We have a higher standard of living than Americans in 1950 did, but we are also drowning in an ocean of debt unlike anything the world has ever seen.
For a lot more on how the U.S. economy is doing in 2012, just check out this list of interesting facts.
So is America 2012 a better version than America 1950 was?
Have we made progress since then or are we going backwards?

Well, I'm Danish so I've been raised socialist - But as my youth-rebellion kicked in I became even more socalist! So ha! Up yours ma & pa!

But I'm a very conflicted socialist - I like helping people through paying my taxes and I love our system.. But I also really want a car.. and a house.. Or a job..

A job would be nice.

Exactly

[squeezyjohn]

I think we should all be nice to each other, try not to care about money more than is necessary within this God-awful money-driven society we find ourselves in, everybody should learn to play music, and plant enough fruit and nut trees (and tobacco plants) in our own neighbourhoods so even if everything goes tits-up we will have a better chance of not starving.

I don't know what that makes me ... a bloody hippie probably.
