Ed Asner did quite well as an actor, and is pretty well off. Maybe he is right about the rich, as far as himself. The solution would be to give it back, if he feels that he did wrong by taking as much as he could get for himself. I smell hypocrite though. It is only wrong for others, not himself.

So if I believe you have more money than you need, and I also believe it will somehow help the economy to take it, that makes it right? How does it help the private sector if I take from you and give it to your neighbor so he can spend it? Do you keep it hidden under your bed, or do you have various investments? The money is out there but it is in areas of low risk. If you invest in a higher risk and make more, it is taken from you. Why risk it? Taxes and confiscation of your property is why we have these problems. Obama has never done the right thing while in office.

Krugman was right 16 years ago. I have a broken clock that is right twice a day. Obviously, my clock has a better record than Krugman.

This would be the very reason that government should NOT be subsidizing any business for any reason. Let the customer decide in the free market. No tax incentives, no money loans, no loan guarantees of any sort. One tax rate percent fits all. Once government officials get their thumb on the scale, the well connected can tip the scale in their favor which will never be in the best interest of the general public.

Would it not make more sense for these seniors to go to their children and demand these very same drugs? If you think about it, that is where the money actually comes from. Now the price to the children gets inflated as it passes through more hands.

Certainly is ironic. EU can tax the public and give the money to panel manufacturers to make them profitable, but IF China does the same thing, which is called dumping, it is wrong and needs to stop. The only ones harmed in this deal are the over paid union members. They may have to work and produce a competitive product.

Those losers make an easy column for John for the Sunday edition. My favorite is the union shill DrRoy. Some how he believes that my paying higher prices for poor union quality and workmanship helps me, a member of the middle class. Meanwhile the union stooges run down to the non union discount stores and by the cheaper import, then blame the company for going out of business or moving--The ones they refused to patronize because they were too high priced. Go figure.

I would be in favor of PPH and abortion if we could see into the future. We could dispose of people like Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, and etc before any damage could be done. Obama, Ted Kennedy, Bill and Hillary, and similar rubbish would never have risen to power on the backs of others as has happened lately. Mary Jo Kopeckne, Vince Foster, and our reps in Benghazi among others would still be alive.

athacur--------------You might feel differently about things if it was your parent/spouse/child or possibly you that was left to die so she could have more power and money for herself. You are a dunce at this point.

Do you recall the bridge collapse in Minneapolis Mn.? A highly regulated state with "quality" union built bridges and roads.

I second that nomination.
