There's no socialism, just corporatism and until everyday Americans can understand that poor people aren't the cause of their plight then this country is never going to change. This guy say the government takes 50% of what he makes as a middle class man (I'm only assuming) but you know how much they take from mulibillion dollar corporations? Nothing except cut deals to profit and fill their own pockets. And you know what this in turn causes? A corrupt capitalistic system. that's what will force more people into low class as it destroys the middle class. 20% of the country's entire net worth gets gambled away by the financial industry and not one peep from an average American, even though it caused a disrupt in our economy with millions of everyday Americans out of jobs and out on the street.


And Ayn Rand was an addict who died using the same system she wrote against.

I thought we were going to let this thread die? Guess not. Again not a fan of Ayn Rand, honestly I don't understand the obsession. Socialism is real, in fact tens of millions of people live under it in Europe and Canada. Socialism is simply one type of government, some countries it works OK and in some its a complete disaster. It really depends on the integrity of the people running the government and wether that country is being overwhelmed with people accessing the system.
If you think corporations paying no taxes is wrong then we are on the same page, lets scrap the income tax system and replace it with something better. Tell me the last time you heard a politician talk about renegotiating NAFTA? More than 80% of American were against the TARP bailout for the mega banks but people from both parties ignored us and passed it anyway. Their punishment for this? Almost all were re-elected. As long as we keep voting for Dem. or Rep. exclusively the beatings will continue.

1. I'm not really a fan of Ayn Rand but you are the one who decide to comment on the post.
2. It's WIKIPEDIA, perhaps that government run school didn't do such a good job after all.
3. If schools aren't teaching people to think for themselves then isn't that an argument for competition?
4. The state of our infrastructure has more to do with corruption and misappropriation than a lack of will. Politicians (of both parties) are constantly raiding funds that are set aside for specific projects. Pick up a newspaper, it's hard to go a week without a story of someone stealing money, from a city clerk, to a school principal, or even a football coach stealing equipment and selling it on Ebay.
5. Our education costs are some of the highest in the world and yet our test scores are pathetic, how much more money should I throw at a broken system?
6. If people don't want to pay for the cost of community then explain the desire for school vouchers? People who have an opportunity to get a chunk of their tax money back are more than willing to pay the extra cash to send their children to private or magnet schools, see Washington D.C.
7. In 2000 under Bill Clinton federal spending was roughly $1.8 trillion dollars. Was this country in utter chaos? Were people starving in the streets? Eating cat food and walking around with nothing but rags for shoes? I don't think so.
In 2012 federal spending was slightly over $3.5 trillion dollars. Does every city have new roads? Brand new shiny schools? Has poverty and hunger ended? NO

I'm not sure who you think is spoon feeding me thoughts, but I will make a statement that you're not likely to hear anywhere so consider it my original thought.

There is a "Red Line"...when the government takes more than 50% of what I earn everyday. When you add up all taxes and fees we are rapidly approaching that number. At that point I am no longer a free man, the only solution......Revolution.

This is from Atlas Shrugged. Think about it.....

"Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort. Money allows no power to prescribe the value of your effort except the voluntary choice of the man who is willing to trade you his effort in return. Money permits you to obtain for your goods and your labor that which they are worth to the men who buy them, but no more. Money permits no deals except those to mutual benefit by the unforced judgment of the traders."

Yes, I actually think about these things.

I don't get here much but I will say that some rambling thoughts are concentric circles one inside the other not intersecting but having an untouching meaning that keeps you lost in thought as to where things may lead. The Axiom.....Every man is the owner of himself....If he accepts the fact that his work effort and ethic are his to do with as he chooses. Money is only the outcome of his endevour but only he....the worker truly appreciates the fact that he sets a higher standard for himself than anyone else evercould. At the end of the day....it really doesn't matter to anyone but me if I am happy or not. Either I work hard for my money.....or not......each day I am the one that chooses how I wish to perform my duties. I find at the end of different days that each one is satisfying in its own way......getting away from the philosophy I will say this....Central Trans does have a reputation.....how you view it and how you approach it will determine if you will stay....or not....good luck.

I am going to become present moment-oriented, enjoying each activity for itself instead of thinking about what is ahead for me....The state of the world is nothing more than a reflection of our own minds. And the state of our individual lives is also a reflection of our state of mind. Worry is a means of using up the present moment in being consumed about something in the future , over which you have no control. True inner peace will always elude those who sit in judgment, since they use up their energy in anger at what is....I always try to accept what I can't change and move on....Its not always easy and I can't always do it. But I'm getting better. One thing about my job I've learned is this...You can't solve a problem by condemning it. At least it's never worked out for me. When the Train starts laying down philosophy the thread usually dies, at least that's what I'm hoping for....please enough politics.

uhohfreightco is a union Kool Aid drinking ding bat. Don't know what else to say. He says "poor people are not the cause of their plight". That is complete rubbish based on the facts. 60% of poor people have children out of wedlock, a high percentage of them are addicted to drugs, Most of them simply don't want to get their @SS out of bed at 5-6 o clock in the morning and go to work like the rest of us do. I personally know folks that have Obama phones, they get 271 dolllars a month for food through a bridge card. They also get day care reimbursement if they actually work. Not going to feel sorry for lazy people.

Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who is obsessed with being right?
