Oh yeah; forgot to mention that the link that John Webb provided under "obligation" (to…Read More contribute to the common good" ) was a table of public high school graduation rates; it predictably had nothing to do with the "obligation to contribute to the common good". I suppose that Webb believes that the fulfillment of that "obligation" should be left entirely to the discretion of the individual, who Webb simultaneously encourages to be as greedy as he can get away with. What's wrong with that picture?!?!

I would love to see a great deal more from these Tea Party types like John Webb about the…Read More "obligation to contribute to the common good." We hear a great deal about "don't tread on me", but very little about asking: what can I do for my country? From what I've seen, it is practically an article of Tea Party faith that there is "no obligation to contribute to the common good." I'd go so far as to say that they don't really even believe in the "common good"; so why is Webb trying to impute this pernicious attitude to progressives?! Three words John: more Rachel Maddow

Think about how "nutty" are these Liberal Keynesian's with their low interest rate policy…Read More and money printing. Low interest rates are wonderful, right? But what this is doing is causing asset inflation in housing, education, health care, autos, etc. I think now on average about 75% of a families income goes to interest payments, (mortgage debt, credit card debt, student loan debt and auto loans), medical insurance and taxes, with just 25% of family income left for all else. And for the lower 50%, it is an even worse reality. That's why the skyrocketing or food stamps, etc. But for the owners of assets: Obama....Obama....Obama.
