1. Keep teaching professor. We need it. nt

2. The Roman Empire fell because of 2 things

lining the aqueducts with lead and out sourcing their military so their guards were not loyal to them.

If we outsource all our manufacturing, this country will not be self sufficient. Government goods should be made here, if no other company wants to use US good. Oh but there are all those trade treaties.

3. This is what I want politicians to be taking about

Topic number one for me.

4. Can be done rather easily if you change the way we think of capitalism

Attitudes have to change, people have to be satisfied as business owners to have one nice house, two nice cars, etc.

5. That is obvious. I'd like to hear his specific ideas.

The US is competing for jobs in a world marketplace. I would like to know how he plans to make the US more competitive against countries that can and do produce the same products for less money. He's also said he want to substantially increase the tax load on corporations. To me, these seem to be mutually exclusive ideas.

6. If we want

manufacturing jobs we need to keep our cheap energy.

[Maedhros]

7. Our "cheap" energy is only cheap

because of government subsidies. Remove the government subsidies and solar, wind and geothermal power is competitive with oil, gas and coal.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. With this last eletion cycle and the final results.

We are well on our way to a English type of society of the 1880's and the Schrooge mentality. It's all about the money and how the Master Class can control the Indentured Class in order to produce crap for the so called emerging Middle Class of China. Nixon had this figured out in the early sixties.

9. I see matters going this way also. I doubt if many Americans think this could happen here

because they are unaware thanks to MSM largely. Chaplin well knew the realities and horrors of the Victorian era from spending time in workhouses as a youth.
