Somehow we lost the work ethics that made this country great. I work in a small business that has been under new ownership for about 1 year.  Our work directly affects how the company does. We work with honesty and integrity, our customer base is wide, varied  and growing. I can end each day, week or month and know if we made a profit.


Sure alot of the problems with the economy were due to the greed of a few. But haven't we expended more energy whining, blaming and finger pointing than it would have taken to correct the problem.

I don’t wish to correct anyone. However, I do correct misinformation given out by those who are ill or misinformed. Your avowal was incorrect so I tossed out the proper information to remedy the problem. If at any given time you find my post to be incorrect and you can convey the information in a style that is not biased or one sided then please correct me. I expect criticism and welcome it with open arms. It is those things that we are corrected on that help us learn and achieve goals.




I work no “sides” in this post or on any “issue”. However, when there comes a time that I MUST be directly positioned on the “side” of an issue I attempt to be on the one that is most “reasonable or fair”. As I stated before your comments so far have only been to “fuel” a fire. Maybe if you put forth an effort into discussion or debate we could see your part/side whatever you wish to call it. If your posts are an effort to just troll or get a rise out of someone then they are unsuccessful, but I will continue to carry on a civil and well researched approach at dialogue.

 Just for discussion... 


Take the 1.5 Trillion and divide it up between all those people in the United States who are paying home mortgages.  Overnight Americans truly Own their own homes, the troubled banks get their money, and in return have money to lend.  Home owners now without a mortgage have capital to spend on college funds, retirements, and automobiles. 


Amazing!!!  Think of it a country where a huge segment of the population are Land Owners!!! 


Quit spending money rewarding those who have failed and invest it back into the people who support the government.



I AGREE WITH YOU............. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR THEM TO DO.............
