I have worked since I was 14 years old, and currently work two jobs to make ends meet. What I have, I have rightfully earned by my own efforts, and I'm proud of that. Collecting unemployment didn't get me where I am today, and handouts will never lift anyone out of poverty.<br /><br />Contrary to your statement, America was, indeed, built by those with money and Carnegie, Jobs, and Ford had plenty of it. Because they had means, they were able to hire people to produce their products, creating jobs. Poor people can't give you a job because they simply can't pay you. So money is pretty important. Just ask those that don't have much of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263344203998045622.post-53589300569160236542011-11-04T11:06:34.061-06:002011-11-04T11:06:34.061-06:00Anonymous,
You seem to be of the believe of the X ...Anonymous,<br />You seem to be of the believe of the X theory of motivation. Based on your statement, my guess is that you are lazy and do not care about what you do. If you were out of work because someone decided it was not profitable to continue your position, you would probably just whine and sit on on your butt and not actively look for work.<br /><br />Your portrayal of the average citizen is unfathomable.<br /><br />Poor people built this country. Not only with their hands, but the American icons are the ones that were poor and built their riches, which helped their fellow countryman.<br /><br />America was not built by those with money, but by those with passion. Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs built not for money but for their passion.<br /><br />There has been a perception that has grown for the past thirty years that money is the most important thing in this society. That perception needs to change NOW.<br /><br />Anonymous 2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263344203998045622.post-87177362967178003392011-11-04T10:54:01.193-06:002011-11-04T10:54:01.193-06:00Dr. Rosen has never found a Republican he can'...Dr. Rosen has never found a Republican he can't blame for the ills of society or the economic disaster Obama has gotten us into. Dr. Rosen, the Democrats themselves are to blame for not approving/authorizing Obama's joke of a stimulus round 2 (round 1 worked so well didn't it?) - they are in control of the Senate and Harry Reid can't get the votes to pass anything even in his own party - because he knows it won't work and the next election will have devastating consequences for the Democrats/Socialists/Progressives. You can not simply keep taxing the "rich" because the politicians can not make the tough choices to CUT SPENDING, and wasteful spending at that. How about a flat income tax for EVERYONE - just like your union dues flat rate for your local union????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263344203998045622.post-67925260056641694802011-11-04T10:20:41.645-06:002011-11-04T10:20:41.645-06:00So please explain to me how "extension of une...So please explain to me how "extension of unemployment insurance and the payroll-tax cut" will create jobs? Seems to me that extending unemployment insurance yet again will only encourage people to continue to sit idly on their butts instead of actively looking for work. And the payroll tax cut is only a benefit to someone that is already on the payroll, so no job created there.<br /><br />Taxation is a disincentive to investment in a business, stifling potential job creation since it takes those funds out of the business. Since you'll never get a job from a poor person, I can't see how the Dem proposals make any sense at all. But as usual, they never do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
