Were any of the rich people you worked for members of the ruling class?
And yes I can spell out on single legislative move he has backed, some call it the fiscal cliff which we are about to go over. I do not see him standing against Boehner at all. Perhaps he should run for Speaker against him. Otherwise we will go over it and his party will die as a result.
I realzie that issa is what one might call an out spoken conservative, but I’ve also noticed that the only time conservatives speak out against anything is when doing so is of absolutely no real consequence whatsoever.
Makes for exciting political theater, but doesn’t change a damn thing now does it?
The 2 rich people I have known and worked for were in industrial machinery manufacturing and contract services to governments.
There is no fiscal cliff. It is more like a gentle slope. Nothing much happens on Jan 1st. The tax rates going up on Jan 1, 2013 will not be paid until April 15, 2014.
I actually like the so called Fiscal Cliff (FC). It is the only way we will get some real cuts in spending. There is no other way the politicians will vote for serious spending cuts.
I hate the military cuts, but we are bankrupt country by any measure. It is foolish to maintain 800 military bases in foreign lands on money borrowed from China. It is more stupid to protect oil lanes to China in the middle-east with money borrowed from China. Lose-Lose for us, win-win for China. We need to wake up otherwise we will be Greece in 3-5 years and China will own our companies, buildings, golf courses, and many other business assets.
I would rather take the long tough road of austerity and a long term recovery for younger generations. Going bankrupt will be far worse. Borrowing 41 cents out of every dollar spent is the real fiscal cliff.
On subject of rich people, they got rich by creating products and services people need and buy. When Bill Gates invented Windows operating system and became world’s richest person, he did not steal money from my pocket or yours. His products increased productivity and created million times more wealth that his personal wealth.
This is the point leftists and socialists do not get, and our politicians do a poor job of explaining to the unwashed masses. Wealth is not a fixed pot to be distributed. Wealth must be created year after year so more can share. It is as dynamic as anything gets.
