I live within my means and always have. I pay my full share of taxes. I pay my bills on time. I have never had the money to invest except a small 401k that I had to take out early to pay for my kids college...because I make too much money for him to get scholarships. So yes, maybe we are not as well educated as you, but we paid for our education and are doing it over and over because you well educated, smarter than everyone else, blame shifting, create no real value for society parasites keep forcing us to pay.

Your dad might have worked hard and your grandad may have been in Korea, but what have you done except perpetuate the excess of speculation, corporate raiding, and pillaging of what your dad and grandad built.

So, don't you blame me for this. You should be the one looking in the mirror.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:30:37 -0400

But how else would democrats gain support in the typically red farm states? I think we are returning to the days of farm subsidies.]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:12:53 -0400

If and only if the supply of alternatives to refined products exceeds the increased rate of consumption of energy will the demand for refined products reduce and cause a decrease in the price of gasoline. I don't see that happening anytime soon, especially in the face of reduced refining capabilities.

The decoulping of crude prices and gas prices means that profit margins will increase. So wouldn't this qualify as artificially induced inflation since there is an intentional effort to not invest in production capabilities? I think they have become accustomed to the higher margins.]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:06:26 -0400
