Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

I agree with some of what you write, but Walmart doesn't make the stuff it sells, China does. And, all Chinese-made stuff I have seen is junk. Have you ever seen anything matching Japanese or German quality come from China at any price? No, and neither have I, and it won't happen any time soon either.

Here at home, it would seem that the last bastion of Capitalism will be when the crook merchant gets the highest price for the rope used to hang him(per Michael Moore). That absurd joke doesn't seem so out of line after all the bad that has happened over the past few years or so. What a system...all me and no you or anyone else. What other end could a system such as that ever lead us to, and who ever thought it would work, knowing human nature as it is and always will be? Ironic cosmic mutations that we are.

The Chinese should "buy Chinese" and keep all their crap to themselves. Of course, due to that 99.99% of all "gift" shops(crap shops) in America will have to close. At the same time, America should do the opposite and buy only good products and not cheap and shoddy Chinese-made crap.

Let the Chinese eat their own "cooking" and nothing else and see how inedible it is. Maybe when they get "fed up" they will start making better quality goods. Can you believe how bad Chinese-made stuff is?.....pure junk.

Everyone with half a brain, and that covers most of us it seems, sees this for what it truly is. The big issue is ...what do we do about it, sheeple? Nothing, right, as usual?

What if all of us banded together and refused to pay our taxes?

Let some problem go unattended and you deserve whatever happens. That's our American citizenry today. Blacks make a million man march on Washington for better male responsibility as fathers, and the rest of us...we sit at home watching TV and bitching. That's it. No tax protests, no one-man marches even, no Civil War, no Boston Tea Party, no Berkeley protests.....nothing. We are so pathetic we deserve the harsh end results of global pollution and warming that will come. Nice cars and houses you have, folks, but very inferior survival instincts toward dire threats on your very existence.

Re: Madoff. So, I now must assume that anyone who has ever been mugged or rolled in their lifetime for their weekly paycheck can now recover the taxes they paid on the income? Yes, folks, that's the very thing Madoff victims now want and the gov't is considering, and it opens wide the taxpayer coffers for restitution claims from anyone who has ever lost earned money to crime and can prove it. As my grandaughter texts, "OMG!"

What a lawyer's goldmine this will be, and so much better than chasing ambulances. "Hey, Jimmy stole my lunch money 50 years ago, can I get my deceased parents refund of their taxes paid on it?" Makes perfect gov't sense, doesn't it?.
