I have no clue how 2016 will go. Virtually any member of the field will have more experience and a broader skill set than BO. None of us can lose. It will be an improvement no matter what.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCujo, you are a moron. The poster said that policing, teaching and nursing were noble professions, not that being wealthy was noble. He also said those who get rich, are usually hardworking, risk taking and entrepreneurial.
How can you guarantee that a substantial percentage of "the rich" became wealthy illegally? If you have proof, shouldn't you take it to the authorities, so they can prosecute the evil rich?

The worlds economy was actually almost brought down by a failed premise that financial risk and social engineering should be one and the same. Frank and Dodd caused the swell in subprime loans ignoring whether people could actually pay for their loans, or if they couldn't whether what they were mortgaging was worth a damn.
Ironic that this intent on "equality" via financial reforms is blamed on the "rich" and not the ones who wrote and implemented the law or those who defaulted on their commitments. Pathetic and consistent.

It must suck to live a life like that: angry, fearful, paranoid, and hateful of everyone and everything that is different from you. Sorry your life is so miserable. I, on the other hand, am in a really good place. Great job, saved lots of money and retiring soon, high achieving wife with a great job. Home life is good and playing music in spare time is the icing on the cake. Sorry bout your problems dude!!!

How conveniently the Republicans forget that they controlled the Senate, White House, and House of Representatives, from 2003 - 2007.

Very accurate. We should distinguish between the one percenters who are rich and nasty vs. the one percenter fodder who are just miserable racists.

Lenders and appraisers took advantage of uneducated and unsophisticated borrowers - I know mortgage brokers and appraisers who were making $500k a year. They bent the rules and inflated loans and valuations and failed to verify income with zero doc jumbos. The borrowers deserve some of the blame but exploitation was widespread.
It is easy from your angry white lower middle class rocking chair to focus the blame narrowly. That's what close minded conservatives do. Now get your wife to bring your slippers, mix that hi-ball and light your lucky. Your little woman still loves you!!

the libs even hate south park now - hitting to close to home I guess.
Without much fanfare, South Park wraps up its 19th season on Wednesday night ( 10/9c, Comedy Central). It's rare that such a long-running show stays relevant or even finds anything new to do, but this season has been South Park's most on-point in a half-decade. South Park has always been an issues-driven show, but a section of the larger culture has aligned with (or perhaps more accurately, aligned against) creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's point of view in a way that has allowed them to find their antagonistic, satirical sweet spot. For the first time in South Park's history, this year the show featured a season-long plot about how the town changes when a new principal takes over the school and begins enforcing political correctness with an iron fist. Political-correctness-as-suppression-tactic is the perfect topic for them to go deep, as South Park has basically been at its core a show championing unconstrained free speech since it started, and political correctness (or identity politics or social justice or other such related terms) is the most culturally prominent it's been in the show's lifespan. Parker and Stone make fun of everything, but they're very serious about freedom of speech. They've spent this season confronting an ideology that would rather a show like South Park doesn't exist.
At the beginning of Season 19, South Park introduced PC Principal, the new elementary school principal. He's an Oakley-wearing meathead jock who cares deeply about social justice; so deeply that if someone doesn't fall in line with his beliefs, he will administer a verbal and/or physical beatdown. He brings along a fraternity of social justice bros, who recruit locals including Randy Marsh to act as the PC police, complete with vocal siren. Now that South Park is culturally safe and sanitized, it gets physically gentrified, complete with a Whole Foods and new businesses and condos that price the poor people out. Meanwhile, PC Principal is trying to censor the school newspaper after Jimmy, its editor, writes against the culture of tolerant intolerance fostered by PC Principal and his enforcers. Jimmy gets recruited by a group of mysterious journalists to analyze advertisements, since his independent mind cannot be fooled by ads masquerading as news. In Wednesday's finale, the hinted-at conspiracy that apparently installed PC Principal and enabled the gentrification of the town in order to make everything safe for advertising will be revealed. It hinges on Leslie, a sentient ad in human form inspired by Ava, the creepy AI robot from Ex Machina. The whole plot of the season has been building to a point that forced political correctness makes people afraid to speak out for fear of being labeled racist or stupid, and that suppression of dissent leads to a docile populace whose only purpose is to be advertised to.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWow you are so wrong it isn't even funny. The financial meltdown happened because the subprime loans were bundled and then sold. Companies then bought derivatives based upon the likelihood the loans would fail. In short the sub prime crisis made people rich.
