You can't tax companies to reduce "our" $16 trillion debt, extend unemployment benefits, give healthcare away, massive food stamp programs without businesses, people, or the markets pushing back.

Honestly? -crazy as just yesterday in the city bulk food shopping almost half the people had food-stamp cards. The food they purchased were far from the necessities, gallons of chocolate milk, bags of candy, coke, chips, ice cream, etc. All of them and kids, overweight.

It actually disgusted me. I/we have good lives because we're in a business that makes money easy comparatively, but it still makes me a bit disgusted when people who simply refuse to better their lives and "expect" government taxes, our money, to give them free shit and keep them totally dependent.

.... or maybe they're just smarter and can see the writing on the wall better then me and just getting theirs.
