Kypes... What are they? What are they for?

I stooped to your level momentarily-you are a permanent resident. I'm not arguing that the creep deserved to be shot, just that a gun would not have helped her in this incident. I would guess that I have been fishing twice as long as you've been living.

Don't even have to comment on your remark. It says it all.

Never would have got to it -shit for brains-you know none of the answers.

Yeh, she should have had the weapon loaded and on the table by the 3 year old, so her daughter could have shot the creep. Unless she had the gun in her hand walking around the house, she would never have had a chance to use it.

Trickle down Redux.

A variation of the vaunted trickle down economic theory but the government isn't using worker's money to provide economic benefits and tax breaks for the wealthy in the vain hope that some of it will make it back to those same workers. When corporate workers make more, they have more to spend...

American corporations are making record profits. Shouldn't the people who provide the labor be receiving record wages? I have a solution-the bosses make a little less, and the workers make a little more. The ratio of CEO-to-worker pay has increased 1,000 percent since 1950, according to data...

I don't see us as too far apart. Of course as you climb the ladder you should make more. I just think our society should recognize the value of the work the people on the bottom rung do and make life a little better for them. The people who are working must be able to live a better lifestyle...

Don't remember. If our working poor were not so poor, it would go a long way to providing the incentive for people to work. I have no problem with less money for lazy people who won't work. Just think there should be more money for those that do.

Son is now in a job earning 7.50/hr. I don't expect anybody to start at the top except the children that come from wealth, and I don't agree with that. I just think that our working poor should be able to live better.

I have no use for people who will not work. Even in a world where everyone worked hard and strove to do their best, there would still be low skill and menial jobs that would have to get done, and sometimes they will be the only jobs available. Realistically, Everybody will not have the...

In the course of my work, I had contact with many immigrant families. I saw first hand how many of them were living. As you note the folks in your employ work upwards of 72 hours per week and share expenses to get by, and you pay them better than most places and add food as a nice perk. My son...

When there's only one or two trees, it's not a forest.

Sorry MacFly I thought we had reached closure when I acknowledged that we agree on some things although our perspectives are different. I have to admit that I mixed your posts up with Tobias here and there. I actually did feel encouraged by some of your posts. Hope that doesn't get you kicked...
