he asked Franklin why "the public seemed to vote against its own interests and stated desires, for instance by electing candidates who'll drive up the deficit with fiscally reckless giveaways to the rich."

He's right, we were stupid for electing Obama.

“...drive up the deficit with fiscally reckless giveaways to the rich.”

Silly me. I always thought the Deficit was a combination of K St lobbyists preying on gullible/complicit Congresscritters voting for more spending!!

I’m so uneducated. I need to get me PhD and park my peon butt at the nearest college to larn me how to vote correctly!!

But maybe, just maybe, not quite as stupid as he and his buddies in the ruling class would like for us to be.

Okay, well how exactly are we going to get the high speed rail working. The only practical way I might see this work is having a rail system running through New Jersey, or perhaps up a coastline segment, but otherwise, it’s really not as practical to run from East to West. The U.S. is pretty sparse, relatively speaking in crossing that way. If you want to run a good public transportation service you need loads of customers to whom that travel route suits, as well as having a decent revenue (commuter fares plus taxes to pay for it)

As far as taxing on the rich, we have been doing it for years, and made the rich pay the higher portion of the total bill. It’s fairly obvious from our rising unemployment and poverty rate in the U.S. that it takes more than redistributing wealth to alleviate poverty and unemployment.

the headline mirrors exactly my sentiments in November 2008.

Anal’cysts think that “economic” interests are the only issues that drive people. They never consider the possibility that “Freedom” may be a factor. :-)
