Steve, get off the pipe and learn to write in sentences. Enough gibberish
Get back on topic or STFU loser.
Maybe you should try to understand a few things. 1st of all you don't know me, what I'm about, you don't know what I for or what I am made of. The only thing the that you know is that I laugh at people who blame all of the worlds problems on one political party or another.
Sounds like you have been brainwashed, which has become common these days. Understand something, I have been taxed under the AMT for 4 out the last 5 years. I am pissed at the amount of tax that I pay, for how my taxes are used. I'm angry at the Govt for running up a 9 trillion dollar debt. I'm pissed that jobs seem to have become our biggest export, I'm pissed at the sh*t that we are importing from China, to name a few. I'm not rich by any standard, but I am taxed as if I am, and it getting old.
If you are working hard at making a quality product in the US, you must be commended. Far to few give a sh*t any more. If you are working for a family business, than you are aware of how outrageous the costs to an employer have become. I work for a family business too. Our health care premium alone, exceeds $55,000 a month. 110 people.
I understand where you are coming from, I just can't blame all that is broken on one party or the other. Hopefully someday you will understand that there is truth in this statement.
BTW, I didn't read anything that you posted as an apology. If you intended to apologize, apology accepted.
I don't make a product but I am i the steel industry.I buy from the mills and sell to the fabricators and machine shops,mines etc. etc. E supply everything from ornamental tubing to build bars for your house up to structural steel if you were building a 50 story tower. Being in the root industry of this country I can tell you when the stockmarket is going up or down the next day just from today's sales report. As like you I do not like the direction our country has gone.But we can only blame ourselves.Unions have made buisness move to other countries. I buy far more forign steel than domestic for one reason I can't compete selling domestic. The unions have everything to do with that. We now have to pay a highschool dropout like a CPA or something for doing menial work.Hell we pay a guy to hold a bumper up to the cars on the assembly line more than a teacher. And health care. Yea it's outa sight. But what is probably the most resposible cause of that? Could it be insurance prices.Hell all the frivilouslawsuits have driven up hospital and malpractice insurance outragous. I mean come on when a woman can sue Mc Donnald's for burning her legs with a cup of coffee in her lap. Who has ever brewed a pot of coffee that wasn't scalding hot. I mean the fact that things like that don't get laghed out when they try to file suit is beyond me. Nobody responsible for their actions and lifes decisions they make anymore? And what about the government healthcare? Don't get the the illeagals out the system that are draining it. Just throw some more money at it and raise the poverty level while we're at it? We are more afraid of hurting peoples feelings than enforcing the laws. So what the hell let's leaglize them and let the other half that's not using the system jump aboard. But before you say what about all the jobs. what about the people on welfare who are legal citizens? why not make the welfare people find job's for people instead of just saying here's your check. And yes some conservatives are responsibe for some of this. But for the most part these are liberal philosiphy. we are trying to be so "politicaly correct" that we are forgeting to enforce the laws aplicably(sp) and fairly that we are leting our tru, democratic free enterprise systms work properly. and no I'm not happy the way things are going in Iraq.But that's another story. I'm sure if ran into each other on the lake and having some coldones we'd get along fine. But you know what they say about politics and religion.
