Topic: They think they are superior

They know what laws they want and they lobby for them. They seek exemptions for themselves. They try to pay as little in taxes as they can.

They want you to have miserable wages while they make vastly more. They want peoples choices to be limited. Their best live in glorious mansions and fly around in private Leer Jets. They adore subsidies and handouts. They prefer to almost not work at all for all the largess.

They act as if they are burdened, they act as an abused and misaligned minority. They lie well. They have no issues with cheating the system (so long as they are never caught).

They love government healthcare, they seek free land from those who own it, they grow jealous of others good luck and fortune and try to stifle innovation.

They love high gas prices, they never met a vehicle they did not want more complex, and they care not if energy prices rise. They reduce consumers options when they can (usually to their favorite few) and promote monopolies as a good thing.

Big Government is their friend, it is easier to manipulate to their ends. They foist easily corrupted politicians upon us and make it imposible to remove them.

They promote racism when it benefits them, they promote sexism when it benefits them, they promote ageism when it benefits them. They truly have no scruples against destroying others lives for daring to challenge their authority.

They smuggle, and evade the taxman, police, and more. They push judges friendly to their view into courts and make a mockery of the legal system. Open borders is their preffered world view.

They love the idea of snooping on others, of controlling their actions and impulses. They use television commercials to entice people to do as they want those people to do.

But you think I am talking about CEO's, corporations, and executives. Instead I am talking about American Liberals. Read again and confirm this.

The truth can hurt, it can be painful... but it is the truth.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

I don't think so.

Of course you have your very own twisted view but most of the rest of the world would rather agree to the definition in the wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberals
Read it, should be interesting. After all it is the political foundation of the US.

I guess, most in the world would rather think of liberalism as THE ideology that made people look to the US as a role model... despite all the military invasions and the kind of capitalism US-world domination came along with.

Obviously I write in the past tense because since 2001 the insane and pathological tendencies within the US have gotten the upperhand and politically the US has become a weird isolated isle nobody really understands anymore. In the first years everybody was "understanding" due to the collapse of a few buidlings and several thousand deaths in your country but after a while...

Another old bloodstained Harkonnen.

Re: They think they are superior

It seems like you confuse liberals with liberalism. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that is the case, you have to admit they did their share of authoritarian things no mater if you pro or con.

Re: They think they are superior

They are strongly pro-big business, they are strongly for monopolies.

I am correct in all of this, this describes, in general, all American Liberals

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: They think they are superior

@einstein:
I reacted to altruist, sorry for the confusion. I do agree the current obama admin increased the scale and amount of monopolies. We missed a chance to increase competition when some big companies went bankrupt. In EU its even worse. hmm

Re: They think they are superior

don't worry, they'll wreck it and demand another bailout soon enough

wreck them!

Re: They think they are superior

Re: They think they are superior

Big companies didn't go bankrupt.  They got a bailout.  The little companies went bankrupt, and those are gone.  Look down mainstreet, Any City, USA.

Wall Street is NOT main street, so don't confuse the two.  Although some articles from speculators showed how sad they were to see their favorite coffee shops shutter their doors after years of operation....go figure.  Now you got the money, but now you don't have your favorite coffee shop to spend that money.

@key
"Big companies didn't go bankrupt.  They got a bailout.  "
I think you misinterpreted what I wrote. I was referring to the bailouts when some large companies, normally, would have gone bankrupt. That is why I complain about monopolies and decreasing competition.

Re: They think they are superior

It matters which companies.

No one in the Obama Administration likes Kodak so they did not get a bailout. They are going under fast.

Now if they had Union workers they would be flush with Obama Handouts. No union however.

That is how it works with Democrats, either you are a big donor (wall street), Have a Union membership (Auto Companies), are a Green Company that donates back (Solyndria), or you are connected to George Soros or Warren Buffet.

Re: They think they are superior

Kodak didn't manuever themselves into the digital age to well.  They were still doing the old processing routine.  And many shops/stores have moved to digital photocopying over old chemical style.  That's Kodaks problem.  Kodak could have asked for a proper business loan with any national bank.

And yes I did read the above first statement, where he blames all of societies ills on "American liberals".  I differ on opinion on whose to blame.  I blame big corporations and banks, and Einstein blames American Liberals.

Yes, because Border's is definitely a company that kept entirely up to date with technology.  smile

Re: They think they are superior

HOSTESS?  Their union asked for more money and Hostess refused, and decided to shutdown the brand name.  They didn't need no damn bailout.

They didn't need no bailout.  They needed to get with the times.  Kodak, behind the times, hostess was unions, Circuit city didn't push for more online internet service, and had fewer products than say Best Buy did, at the time.  Borders Books, lost traction to E-readers and tablet book materials.

Basically they zigged, when they should have zagged in technology and customer service.

Re: They think they are superior

Ford zagged, gm nd chrysler zigged.

Letting them enter bankruptcy and possibly being sold to pay off creditors would have been better.

Re: They think they are superior

Hmmmm....I can't argue the bailout of the car companies.  The car companies divied up their profits as they came in, and didn't bother saving in case of possible company or economic collapse.

So yah, I do agree that the car companies should have just been allowed to shutdown.  Someone would have purchased them up, including European or Asian concerns, and they could have probably did a better job in remarketing those companies.

Personally I do believe that the Unions that were part of those companies did the car companies no good.  I mean being payed $45-$60 per hour, and the unions were asking for MORE money?  No wonder the companies went down the tubes.  $60 an hour, is 4.5 times my pay.  And I live within my means.  What were those union members doing?  Smoking crack? Drinking beer?  Slots and blackjack? 

Yah, the car companies didn't really deserve a bailout.  Just poor leadership there.

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.

Re: They think they are superior

"Yes, because Border's is definitely a company that kept entirely up to date with technology."
None of the saved companies are. Exactly why they shouldn't be saved. It puts pressure on the management and that is exactly what is needed to make them perform better. Einstein makes a good point there.

Re: They think they are superior

Business companies are like evolution.  Every once in a while a company will make a decision or product, that spurs them to greater inovation, popularity and production.

Those companies that can not inovate, tend to whither and die.  Some will become sickly and become smaller, no longer a giant on the open market.  But the brand name may survive.

Hostess is a good example.  The brand name, THE NAME, still survives.  Is it the same company?  No.  Because the new ownership of the brand name products refused to deal with the Unions anymore.  And now their products are back on millions of store shelves east to west coast.

Companies that go out of business are the one's that made wrong choice after wrong choice, or believed that could do no wrong, or worry about problems that had yet to rear their head.

What shot Hostess in the foot?  The Unions?  Did Einstein blame the Unions?  No, Einstein blamed the Liberals.

When Kodak fell behind the times, and refused to embrace newer technologies, was that the board of directors fault?  No, Einstein said that was the liberals.

When the three major car corporations of america didn't save ONE extra dime, in case of possible economic problem, in order to carry themselves foward into the future.  Well that wasn't the car companies problem, according to Einstein, that was a liberal problem.

When the .COM bubble burst, that was liberals, according to Einstein.

So in essence, if you really look at it, Einstein says it's all your peoples fault.  You didn't buy the product, so your a liberal, and your all responsible for the economic crash and the monetary bailout of big banks, wall street and many companies abroad across the U.S.s

Well, i'd almost be proud to have caused the economic hardship of those companies.  That's unless they weren't run by men and women who didn't know how to lead.

Re: They think they are superior

I tell you what.  The person they put in charge of our entire corporation, has no viable job skills in the Home Building sector.  He's never sold a 2x4 piece of lumber.  Caulking.  Sink.  Tile.  Bags of cement.  Nothing.

What he HAS done, was go in, gut companies to the bone, and then sell those companies.

And that is his only "leadership" skill.  He has no knowledge of actually running a lumberyard, let alone a national chain of lumber stores and home building service centers.

Was this a proper choice for leadership of our company?  Probably not.  But some damn idiot figured he would save us money, by cutting the number of employees, and shutting down many stores seen as "low profit".  Not, "Non-profit", but "Low profit".

Whether or corporation survives under this type of sales banner, remains to be seen, even after 4 years of crap home sales, and crap home building years.  I already stated it would take up to ten years for a rebound in the home building market.  Why?  Because we still have tens of thousands of empty homes, unbuilt homes languishing under bank servitorship, and foreclosed homes which have yet to find a single family. 

However, WALL STREET shows that home pricing in certain sectors are rising, which is good for the market!...Good for who?  The only people who own those homes are either Real Estate agencies, or the banks themselves.  And they have NOT been upkeeping those homes, or properly securing them.  In essence, you have delinquent, falling apart pieces of crap that isn't worth the asking price of rising home costs.

I'd blame the banks on the foreclosures.  I'd blame Wall Street for their speculative bullshit.

But Einstein, would blame the liberals.

My mom lost her home to foreclosure.  I blame Einstein, personally more now, than the bank.  Why?  For his gross posturing that the blame falls on an ideal, rather than the person who signed off on the order of the foreclosure.

Re: They think they are superior

I love this "us vs them" mentality you have. You know nothing about the Federal Reserve or how it's robbing us. You actually believe there's a "war on terror" and a "war on drugs," whereas the former is an excuse to rob us of rights and, the latter is an excuse to make money and get more Americans in the legal system wherein they can be used as slave labor and more completely controlled.

You are a huge part of the problem. You know nothing about America's biggest problems, so you keep playing scripted us-vs-them games while never fighting the important fights.

Key is your opposite in the false dichotomy us-vs-them facade. Always ranting about talking points.

I have an idea, Key. If SO many CEOs and SO many businesses are making HORRIBLE decisions that are BAD for those companies, draw up a business plan to market it to investors. Since you're obviously brighter than those idiots, your business plan will show plenty of promise. You'll beat your idiot competitors and benefit yourself, your employees, and shareholders all!

Maybe what you think isn't connected to reality. I suggest this because it'd be highly profitable and altruistic if it was. And yet you are here. You are not acting on your wisdom.
