Wall Street wants Dems to win (Faux Infotainment)

[ljb]

Well guys you all remember the last election when the talking heads on Faux would respond to a market drop with "they are afraid Kerry is going to win."
Now it seems the story has changed. As this link shows...

Funny, but Sad.

watching good old Gordon Gecko (a great NASTY character) in Wall Street as he explains to Charlie Sheen after his company tries to take over his (Sheen's) father's airline, gut it, force it to default in bankruptcy so he gets all the money: "You think you live in a democracy pal? The top one percent in wealth CONTROL this country. Wake up."

[DJofSD]

Fox (faux), NBC, CBS, ABC, whatever, know cr*p about the market or how it works. They can barely report the salient information pertaining to the market activities from day to day.

Do you really think they understand how the market works? How many reports and editors have even taken an economics class?

The market just doesn't want anything to change -- they like the status quo. No changes to the military/industrial complex -- they like all the contracts and money rolling in and with the prospect of 'forever war' the largess will continue. No change to the 1996 Telecommunication Act -- let the monoply of the various segments continue. Let the M&A in the telecommunications sector continue.

let the fat cats get fatter and control governement to a greater degree? sure

I do NOT agree. Wall St --- not the generic use of that term, but rather
downtown NYC --- is preparing for total new markets. ex: MOVIE PRODUCTION.
#2 ex: GENE Manipulation. We're talking many Billions here. Many. These
areas are outside politics mostly.

The incumbent politicians throw us nothing but bull shit to get our votes, then they go back into their offices, lock the door and masturbate over what's "really" going on and what they have in mind to do. Anyone new to Washington ends up doing the same thing or that was their plan to begin with. That's the only way they get support form their party, $$$$$$$$, you owe me. Economics to them is simple, fill my pockets with money including friends, family and all the pork I can get.

[ljb]

Are you guys suggesting that faux was bullsh----ing us again ?

[DJofSD]

total new markets. ex: MOVIE PRODUCTION.

Traditional movie making and production and distribution is doomed. It's slowly going the way of the music industry.

[kenwoodallpromos]

Just like MSNBC, Newshounds is a Fox wannabe/willneverbe, so they survive by mentioning Fox hundreds of time. They and MSNBC need to get a life.

Please note the whole panel was not agreed on this and the writer of the article accused Fox of propaganda while she put her own political bias into the article. Evidently the writer believes terrorists should have rights and was against the wall to keep illegals out. She said it would also keep us in. Is she nuts? Are there a lot of us sneaking into Mexico?

If dems win, there will be a lot of us sneaking in! :eek:

But anyone want to bet on the wall?

>2,000 mile border
>700 mile fence
>Funding for 350 miles of it
>In the hands of Chertoff, to be issued as he sees fit.

It is not a wall, it is a bone. "

Yes. And here's another historical fact: George Washington was the first president of the United States.

[46zilzal]

I used to think that too, but it was some guy named Samuel Huntington when the U.S. was under the Articles of Confederation.

[Tom]

FDR....4 terms.
After 4 terms by a Dem, we said ENOUGH and passed an ammendment!

BTW, Compare the social, financial, and world events of FDR's presidency to that of Bush II. We stayed the course, didn't we? Looked bleak at times, didn't it? Most people couldn't even afford a rutabega.

[bigmack]

That sickly fellow was better suited as Gov of CT, and he was President of the Assembled Congress. If you want to count all those earlier "Preses" Washington would be the 11th. But like the good students we are we recognize Georgie as the 1st.

[46zilzal]

by just about ALL historian's estimates, FDR was one of the greatest presidents the country ever had. He got things done but when he over-stepped his boundaries, the supreme court shut his programs down.

[Tom]

Lots of Georgies on that list. First and current......no wonder 46 is trying to spin history...must be killing him!:lol:

[46zilzal]

you might take all this seriously, but it is entertainment to me.

Then he was instrumental in the law limiting the pres to 2 terms. It was okay for him but not everybody else. Typical...

Lefty,
Here is a quote regarding economic conditions in the U.S.
The United States has more people below the defined poverty line than 26 other countries; however, the measures used to establish a poverty line are controversial and may not always be comparable among countries. What is clear, however, is that the United States has the widest rich-poor gap of any high-income nation today, and that gap continues to grow.[2] The ten percent of Americans with the highest incomes earn 15 times more than the bottom ten percent.

The global economy has grown sevenfold since 1950. Meanwhile, the disparity in per capita gross domestic product between the 20 richest and 20 poorest nations more than doubled between 1960 and 1995.

Of all high-income nations, the United States has the most unequal distribution of income, with over 30 percent of income in the hands of the richest 10 percent and only 1.8 percent going to the poorest 10 percent.

lbj, yeah, there's an unequal distribution of the wealth. That's because some people access their opportunities and some do not and then expect help from those that do.
Poverty is how you define it. Is the homeless factored in? Have to be and i've seen enough homeless in the casinos in vegas to know a whole big bunch have chosen the life style and spend their money on gambling drugs, cigs, booze etc and then expect the rest of us to help them. There are a lot of people who live in so called poverty that have cars and tv's. We prob have the richest poor people in the world. Think about it.
When you say unequal distribution of wealth i ask you this. How is that changed?
The barometers that the mainstream press and everyone else used to point out how great the economy was during Clinton are now pooh poohed. Bias? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Lefty and JR,
You guys are overlooking some obvious facts here. Basically the policys and laws implemented by our gov't for the last 30 years have created an environment that causes the wealth of the nation to float up. We as middleclass Americans are suffering along with the lower class Americans. Until you realise that the top 1 percent of this country are taking from not only the poor but also the middleclass, you will probably continue to support your own downfall. Too bad.

Socialist B.S. This country has more opportunity than any other. Do you realize there are more millionaires today than 10 yrs ago. Where did they come from? Obviously the middle and lower classes. They accessed their opportunities.

The policies of this country over the last 40 years have condemned a whole group of people to sucking at the breast of the rest. It used to be called the War on Poverty. You took two generations and taught them that the only way to get by was by relying on Government. Now it is culturally ingrained. Damn shame.......

[Tom]

Still, NAFTA and CAFTA were direct shots fired on the middle class by ingmorant presidents who care not on ioat about us. NAFTA has not helped our economy or people in the least. And Bush's guest worker program is the thrid stage of mental illness. Our economy is BETTER, not ACCEPTABLE.

See JR, You are believing the line promoted by the corporate giants. Very few folks want to suck on the gov't teat. Most just want a fair chance to provide for themselves and their familys. Speaking of relying on Government how much do you suppose the defense contractors have got from the gov't since the neocons gained control ?
Defense contractors like say Halliburton (Cheney).
Corporations and big money are screwing the middleclass and those living in poverty, it will come to your door also. Hopefully you will be able to recognise it before it is too late.

Wrongo again. A lot of the so-called poverty striken or the ones that feel you and i owe them something and find it unneccesary to get off their lazy asses and get educated and go to work and save and work for a brighter future. Some do, mostly, I think,they are the children finding themselves born into such a mess aspire to higher goals. Most who are in the middle class do not let themselves wallow in poverty.
A while back there was a homeless man on tv saying "you people are not doing enough for us" He looked able bodied and in his thirties or forties. Why the hell should i do anything for him? Let him get off his lazy ass and do for himself.

Behind all of the comparisons and the attempt at guilt is a hidden message. This message is in its essance a religous message. But yet this message comes from the political side that wants to eliminate religion when it gets in the way of their other agenda, the elimination or denial of God.

How ironic.
