America is the best thing for the rich.
Thats why five percent of the people control 95 percent of the wealth.
Thats why the rich get tax breaks and the poor face rising bills for healthcare and essentials.
And the federal government spends ten times more on laser guided satellite bombs than it does on Medicare.
And America is the "best thing" for them... them being the normal people, the poor, the working class.. how??
Good job. Keep posting more inaccuracies and false statements that have little truth or, better yet, convoluted facts.
About the rich - well, capitalism works. And sure, there are corrupted people, no doubt about that. Enron would be an excellent example.
About five percent - Inquiry - how much land and wealth do the Royal Family of your country hold again? Oh, right. Aren't they some of the richest people on the planet? There are poor people in the U.K., last time I checked, why don't they give some of their money away?
About the tax breaks - again, I'm glad that you continue to ignore facts, it makes my job easier.
From my article at The American Patriot:
The top tax rate (rich) dropped from 39.6% to 33% is a 6.6 point drop. The bottom rate (poor) dropped from 15% to 10%, a 5 point drop. Now, for those liberals and those in the media who choose to look no further than their noses, that's a 6.6 point drop for the rich, and a 5 point drop for the poor. Clearly, that's Bush's favoritism for the rich. Not so. 39.6 to 33 percent is a 16.6% reduction in taxes for the rich. 15 to 10 percent is a 33% reduction for those in the lower brackets. Most choose to ignore these figures though, and bash Bush for his "tax cuts to the rich."About not spending on Medicare - well, why continue to dump more and more money into a system that is arguably corrupt and will have to be replaced within the coming decades?
Besides, last time I checked, spending money on satellite-guided bombs not only helped our national defense, but they also boosted the economy and created jobs, unlike Medicare, which creates...how many jobs?
I know that ideology is often less important than the own interests in the world-politic, but IMO, an extreme-right dictator should never be supported, even when it's an easy way of removing a leadership you dislike. Being against the extreme-rightwing is just a fundamental duty, I believe.
So communist dictatorships are okay though?
I do think Allende was democratic and not very corrupt. And even if he was, at least he was a socialist and thus very preferable above an extremerightwinger. But I think you won't agree with this...
No, I won't. I think you have to look into the facts, because, much like when the number of deaths resulting from Stalin were prevented before you, it appears you aren't willing to acknowledge the reality of the situation.
Communism like it was meant to be just doesn't work. Too bad...
It doesn't help with a dictator who has no idea how to handle an economy claiming to boost his people through sperm-crossing experiments with bovines that turn out to be useless and purging (read - killing) the people that actually were running the economy well under Batista when Castro took power.
