She's a little more than out of touch,lol! Life is good for her, and she's been tiptoeing through the dahlias a little too long. She thinks it's a civil rights protest and only concerned that it gets in her way on her way to work. She probably thinks they should be weeded out like her dying tomato plants. If she did take an interest, it would probably be in the organic excrement for her garden, totally clueless!
Yeah, its not news that she is an asshole. This is her latest opportunity to prove it.
Last week, Rosannadana Scotto said that "The rich work much harder than we do, believe me."
I wanted to Scream!
I almost threw my coffee at the TV.
Its a horror story over there sometimes.
Yep... I just watched it.....she reminds me of something I heard a long time ago: "shallow brooks are noisy".
GE owns NBC. GE is the largest producer of medical testing equipment in the world. They also own Universal Studeos and several banks. This is why Oprah, Ellen, and Dr Phil were paid hundreds of millions to contantly plug Countrywide (sup-prime bank), Citibank, medical testing, and every over-paid celebrity pig on the planet. Greed has turned just about every TV show into a commercial for parent companies and corporate sponsors. It makes me sick.
We have been mislead by Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, and nearly every other public figure. Economic growth, job creation, and actual prosperity are not necessarily a package deal. In fact, the first two are horribly misunderstood. Economic growth/loss (GDP) is little more than a measure of wealth changing hands. A transfer of currency from one party to another. The rate at which it is traded. This was up until mid ’07′ however, has never been a measure of actual prosperity. Neither has job creation. The phrase itself has been thrown around so often, and in such a generic political manner, that it has come to mean nothing. Of course, we need to have certain things done for the benefit of society as a whole. We need farmers, builders, manufacturers, transporters, teachers, cops, firefighters, soldiers, mechanics, sanitation workers, doctors, managers, and visionaries. Their work is vital. I’ll even go out on a limb and say that we need politicians, attorneys, bankers, investors, and entertainers. In order to keep them productive, we must provide reasonable incentives. We need to compensate each by a fair measure for their actual contributions to society. We need to provide a reasonable scale of income opportunity for every independent adult, every provider, and share responsibility for those who have a legitimate need for aid. In order to achieve and sustain this, we must also address the cost of living and the distribution of wealth. Here, we have failed miserably. The majority have already lost their home equity, their financial security, and their relative buying power. The middle class have actually lost much of their ability to make ends meet, re-pay loans, pay taxes, and support their own economy. The lower class have gone nearly bankrupt. In all, its a multi-trillion dollar loss taken over about 30 years. Millions are under the impression that we need to create more jobs simply to provide more opportunity. as if that would solve the problem. It won’t. Not by a longshot. Jobs don’t necessarily create wealth. In fact, they almost never do. For the mostpart, they only transfer wealth from one party to another. A gain here. A loss there. Appreciation in one community. Depreciation in another. In order to create net wealth, you must harvest a new resource or make more efficient use of one. Either way you must have a reliable and ethical system in place to distribute that newly created wealth in order to benefit society as a whole and prevent a lagging downside. The ‘free market’ just doesn’t cut it. Its a farce. Many of the jobs created are nothing but filler. The promises empty. Sure, unemployment reached an all-time low under Bush. GDP reached an all-time high. But those are both shallow and misleading indicators. In order to gauge actual prosperity, you must consider the economy in human terms. As of ’08′ the average American was working more hours than the previous generation with far less equity to show for it. Consumer debt, forclosure, and bankruptcy were also at all-time highs. As of ’08′, every major American city was riddled with depressed communities, neglected neighborhoods, failing infrastructures, lost revenue, and gang activity. All of this has coincided with massive economic growth and job creation. Meanwhile, the rich have been getting richer and richer and richer even after taxes. Our nation’s wealth has been concentrated. Again, this represents a multi-trillion dollar loss taken by the majority. Its an absolute deal breaker. Bottom line: With or without economic growth or job creation, you must have a system in place to prevent too much wealth from being concentrated at the top. Unfortunately, we don’t. Our economy has become nothing but a giant game of Monopoly. The richest one percent already own nearly 1/2 of all United States wealth. More than double their share before Reagan took office. Still, they want more. They absolutely will not stop. Now, our society as a whole is in serious jeapordy. Greed kills.
First of all, you show you don't know what you are talking about when you show you don't understand GDP. You say it is a measure of wealth changing hands. Well, it's not. You refer to the velocity of cash. The P in GDP stands for Product. It is a measure of how much is produced, not of what changes hands.
Get your facts straight, ok?
You are the second idiot to make the assumption that I don't understand basic economics. Here is the problem. You screwed up. Not me. GDP does not refer simply to the number of domestic products and services created. It refers to the final market value of domestic products and services sold. That means sold for money. GDP is a number which refers to the dollar amount of economic activity resulting from the sale of domestic goods and services. Not the number of toasters, cars, Rush Limbaugh T-shirts, or 'Econ 101 for Right Wing Dumies' books produced. GDP is not a measure of products created. It's the dollar amount of domestic products and services sold. Now, do you understand what that means? I'll give you a clue. Three words: W C H. Oh the hell with it. I'll just tell you. WEALTH CHANGING HANDS. Get your facts straight before you make a fool of yourself telling others who know more than you to do the same.
Now, get out of my face. I have work to do.
It is the total amount of output, the fact that it changed hands is immaterial
idiot
If it's not sold. It's not counted. The final figure doesn't even represent SRP. It represents actual sale price.
Quick! Send the state to seize her assets. How dare she have an opinion contrary to ours.
Your sarcasm is lame.
What did she say that was incorrect?
What she said is true.
