he should not be saying this stop him

it's not funny. your brother had no idea what the lyrics were about so what makes it so funny? and i can't believe you and your sister are ok with that style of music. that is incredibly sexist and i think it's appalling that men can sing about that and women will listen to it and not realise just how horrible it is. I'm not a feminist but i hate it when guys sing about females like that, like they're nothing more then sexual tools to do their bidding. no wonder girls are losing their virginity so young. guys listen to this music and think it's the norm and girls hear it and feel pressured.

Why does no one in Pittsburgh care that the World Bank is descending on their town?
Why does no one in Pittsburgh care that the World Bank is descending on their town?
The G20 (Group of 20) Summit, which includes the G-20 + Spain, the Netherlands, NEPAD, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), the EU, the UN, the World Bank, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the WTO (World Trade Organization) and the FSF (Financial Stability Forum) is coming to Pittsburgh September 24, and no one seems to care. This is a HUGE event, and the organizations coming to Pittsburgh are some of the most controversial and unjust in the world. They represent globalization, a corporate movement that rises above all law. Child labor laws? Slave labor laws? The WTO has no such thing. In fact, by World Trade Organization Law, the United States is not permitted to ban imports on products made by slave labor. If we did such a thing, we would be expelled from the organization. Ever take a look at the tags on your clothes? More often than not, they'll say "Made in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Honduras, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, perhaps India, etc". This almost guarantees that they were made in a sweatshop. That's what American companies do: build factories overseas and employ the local population at wages that are unthinkable in developed countries (sometimes $1 a day or less). The World Bank, for example, requires any indebted developing country wishing to borrow from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) to have a privatized water system. That means citizens have to buy their water from usually corrupt corporations, who don't have to abide by government standards, all because the World Bank assumes indebted governments can't provide water to their citizens. So instead, they make it a commodity that can be bought and sold. If you don't have money, you can't have water. Simple as that. What's truly alarming, however, is that no one in the United States seems to care. When the G20 came to London in April, the protests were so intense that one man died. In Pittsburgh, though, the usually question seems to be not "are you angry?" but rather "will i be safe?" "Are the protests going to be too violent?" "Am I threatened by angry protesters?" Or am I just totally uninformed about plans for protests/marches/etc? Perhaps the people of Pittsburgh and the United States really do care??

You have correctly identified the international corruption for which the IMF, WTO, U.N. and others exist. Excellent point. These people, as well as leftists in our country, seek to establish a one world government as a ruling class all over the planet. They can be stopped, but only if they are totally exposed and opposed by resolute individual nations. Obama supports loaning more than 100 billion to the IMF on very favorable credit terms. Considering we are in debt, that is criminal. it is also likely it will not be paid back, as the IMF has a history of not getting paid back itself.

Perhaps most do not agree with the positions you outlined in your "question," and that's why they're going to rampage and destroy their own town (no, outsiders like you will come to do that). Why is it only rich kids wearing those shirts, jeans, and shoes made in poor countries who are protesting and breaking things, and not the poor people who have the jobs? Because globalization has done more to raise living standards in the 3rd world than any government aid program in history. Look at India and China for examples of the creations of new middle classes that never before existed. So I don't buy your argument that globalization hurts poor countries. They can't have the government run their water systems?? You put a lot of faith in corrupt, power-hungry, bumbling 3rd-world bureaucrats! Sadly, these G-20 "protests" have become violence-fests for bored, wealthy youth seizing many of the crackpot theories you put forward above. Seattle and Genoa will go down in infamy as where the opposition (which has some valid points, if only it had a knowledgeable, mature voice to put them forward on the world stage) forever lost credibility. The G-20 meetings have seen hooligans destroying the hardwork of honest citizens (smashing shops, graffiti, injuring/killing police, etc), and that's the image around the world. I like you word choice re London: "intense" protests resulted in a man's death. I wonder how many of the people protesting so "intensely" went back to cushy flats, drank some imported beer, put their iPod on the stereo (all made in Asia), took off their $50 Hilfiger top made in Bangladesh (the one with the brand name prominently displayed), and made an evening of it with nary a thought to perhaps going to these countries they profess to care so much about and actually help needy people? So, in brief, my answer to you is: because the lack of knowledge, stunning hypocrisy, and violence displayed by so many at these events in years past.

So, what is so wrong with Protectionism?
So, what is so wrong with Protectionism?
Look at the tag on your shirt..where was it made?Mine says China... Now grab an office supply,got some envelopes here..says Indonesia... you can do this with just about anything in your house..So until somebody gets up and says 'HEY we are not going to trade with Countires who pay slave wages too not only protect them and their human rights for a fair living wage,but also too protect the jobs in the USA" the jobs are not coming back...Sure you can buy shirts at Walmart for 8 bucks,but wouldn't you rather pay 15 and an American be paid 15 too 20 bucks for the work? Lets but it this way when China send a product too us too buy they pay a small import tax ,compared too what it would cost an American company too make it. Thus those "tax breaks" we are giving out are going back too big business, too do more big business in China.Not here Not until we find a President who is willing too protect us,aka Protectionism, are we ever going too get our jobs back.If we do that those of us who can not or did not go too College can make a living wage.This also will bring the entitlement programs under control and save future generations SS and Medicare. With more tax payers also comes a balanced budget and enough money too start paying the Deficit ,that is now at 1.4 trillion dollars down... Capitalism works if the Goverment is willing too protect it's people. I believe in free trade through out the states, however when it comes too trading with different Countires there should be rules and regulations too protect the American Citizens,big or small best intrest... I have yet too hear a talking head from the Republican side or Democratic side bring this up... Wonder why? Sure there would be inflation of food and other supplies but as fast as it is going up,Our job market will be opening up too with New permanentreal jobs, not shovel ready jobs that will end.We will also be able too get rid of the farm subsidy because they will be able to get a fair price in our market place for their goods. So there you have it...I just cut the deficit,created at least 9 million jobs, made tax payers,cut or dependance on entitlement programs and a good possibility of saving SS and Medicare for future generations. Would also be a good chance too not be number 1 in the World with the highest Corp Tax Rate.. This too would create jobs.. So is it just the fact we may have too wait for an American Phone Company or TV company too get up and going?That we may have inflation for a year or so before companies get the product out at a steady pace?Or is it the fact that they really simply don't care about us and care more about the rest of the World Market...All I see is fat cats that live here with business in other Countires getting richer and richer and the middle class and lower class getting poorer and poorer.They are not creating jobs here..Am I missing something? In the 90's before Nafta and Gatt there where over 200 tomato farmers in Florida in 2000 there where 16...How many jobs where lost their alone?

it does not work - because the lowest waged in an economy cant buy the basics that are artificially ramped up in price - phased protectionism as an idea to help infant industries & may even work as long as its managed and not made a crutch to depend on. you cannot escape a global environment - the old rules become bunk - when small wages do actually pay for food in a cheap economy - its not always easy to compete.

protectionism was tried at the outset of 'the great depression'...which made things worse! we increased tariffs on imports, and our 'trading partners' raised tariffs on imports from us. getting the corporate tax rate back in line would help our companies be more competitive, would create jobs here, and would eliminate current incentives for companies to move overseas i keep hearing that 'we need to raise taxes'...which makes ZERO sense. the other day, we were putting in a new conference table in our training room-it was very heavy, and there were only 2 people trying to carry it. rather than expect those 2 people to do all the lifting while others who would also be making use of the table just stood around watching, we found 4 more people to lend a hand and the job was much easier. tax policy needs to be like that- we don't need to be making those who already pay most of the taxes already pay even more; we need to expand the tax base so more people have 'skin in the game'

protectionism was tried at the outset of 'the great depression'...which made things worse! we increased tariffs on imports, and our 'trading partners' raised tariffs on imports from us. getting the corporate tax rate back in line would help our companies be more competitive, would create jobs here, and would eliminate current incentives for companies to move overseas i keep hearing that 'we need to raise taxes'...which makes ZERO sense. the other day, we were putting in a new conference table in our training room-it was very heavy, and there were only 2 people trying to carry it. rather than expect those 2 people to do all the lifting while others who would also be making use of the table just stood around watching, we found 4 more people to lend a hand and the job was much easier. tax policy needs to be like that- we don't need to be making those who already pay most of the taxes already pay even more; we need to expand the tax base so more people have 'skin in the game'

my shirt was made in haiti and i like how you think and your idea and your vision, but if things were made here then i'm not sure if the quality would be as high and if it isn't i wouldn't want to spend more money on it. that's the only thing.

Why does President Obama think that the rich?
Why does President Obama think that the rich?
should have to give a little more just because they have more money? How is that fair? If I was rich, I would not want to give more and more. All it does is goes to fuel the irresponsible spending down there on Captiol Hill anyway. Why bother? Once they raise your taxes, they're never going to cut them again. They'll just find other ways to spend the money to get a reason to keep taxing you. It is not fair. The rich already pay their fair share in taxes anyway. They may pay a fewer number of taxes, but they certainly pay a larger amount. I'm not saying give them cuts, but I think it's unfair to make them pay more. I mean is this just the typical liberal mindset though? Steal from the rich? I wonder if Obama grew up on the poor or rich side of Chicago. Oh yeah that's right, he grew up in Indonesia where they hated America and wealth.

America has a progressive tax because THE COUNTRY believes that the more you have, the more you can pay. It's not an Obama issue, it's an American issue.

Obama? Reagan had higher taxes than anything Obama is proposing. The rich pay the lowest in taxes than they have in 60 years. They don't pay their fair share. Not even close. Teachers don't have sh!t and you have no problem taking anything away from them. You tell them they have to sacrifice, but those who can afford it don't have to? WTF? By the way, it's not stealing. Its the cost you pay for being able to make a fortune in this country. It's what you pay when your proud of your country, thankful for being able to make it here, and want to give back to the country that made it possible.

The rich already pay a LOT MORE in taxes. NOT fair.
4 :
Because while our country was running up this big debt, rich people were the only ones who actually got richer. Why should the middle class and poor people have to pay for something they saw no benefit from? Who are the real moochers in America? Are you trying to say that rich people are the only Americans who deserved to get richer over the last 30 years?
5 :
Tax the rich !!! What better mantra for any politician than to preach to 95% of the voting base?
6 :
No he feels that people who have benefited greatly from the American dream should pay it forward.
7 :
Yes, those poor billionaires. Maybe we should have a telethon for them.
8 :
At what expense did they become rich? A lot of wealth from old America came at the expense of slaves and poor people working themselves to death.

Who said we have the rich being taxed higher than the rest of the world. Ever wonder why millionaires from Britain sometimes come to reside here in the states? Ever really thought about how the "trickle-down" policy of supposedly letting the rich receive less tax debits than the middle-class helps them stimulate the economy. Funny how, we are actually paying less taxes during this Administration than the individuals were in teh 70's. If I earned 5 million, I would think it is fair to get taxed the same as a middle class, or a percentage higher. I find it a patriotic act. Funny how you haven't seen all the tax deductions they get from as little as donating clothes (and stating they paid a price for it, when in truth it was on sale, therefore getting higher tax returns for it), car purchases, vacations due to job, apr on cards, mortgages, etc... all of these items if entered in a long-form income tax return gets a credit to the millionaire that indicates that after all the debits, and credits, the rich pay quite a small amount of taxes. Bottom-line, while we the middle-class got laid off from corporations due to streamlining and automation. Lost all of our future net worth in the stock market. And lost ourselves along the way, the rich only have lost a fraction and can always recoup the funds. They have not done anything to help us in the current crises by creating jobs, or businesses. Have been spending a considerable amount in luxury goods, though out of "look" have stopped spending because they would look inconsiderate. Funny how highly we hold the rich in society, when many individuals have tried and struggled to make a living working 40 and 60 hours yet can not earn the same as one of those CEOs and yet you value them like scum.

If Obama took and confiscated evey rich persons accounts and money it would only run the Government for a few weeks .

He is trying to shift the focus of the debate back to taxing the rich, rather then doing what we the people said with the results of the November 2010 elections, which is STOP THE SPENDING! That Saul Alinsky rulebook is his bible and he is trying to use it to rouse the rabble. He thinks if he makes the loser mooches upset that the free ride is over, he can cause some dissent in the street and intimidate those of us who support a leaner DC (kinda like his buddies in Philasmellphia during the last election did). Won't work this time. If he does manage to steal even more, it is time for an 'Atlas Shrugged' movement. Let the moochers mooch off of each other for a change.
12 :
Rich people have lots more ways of hiding their income than you do. They qualify for many, many, more deductions than you or I, and as a result will ALWAYS pay less than you or I as a percent of their earnings. What i'm wondering is why you feel so sorry for them. The disparity between rich and poor has widened exponentially in the last ten years. Theyre doing allright.
13 :
Its not fair? Are you kidding me? The top 400 wealthiest americans have enough wealthto compensate for 150 americans. The wealth distribution is the most unequal since the Great Depression. Corporate tax receipts are down at 7%. When the taxes were higher, they were at 30%. When Clinton taxed the rich, revenue went up. People like George Soros, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett are rich and they dont mind paying a higher tax. Not fair to rich people? Its not fair to have the tax burden to the middle class. As Warren Buffett said, "my secretary pays higher taxes than i do." What hes saying is that she has a lot less left over than he does after taxes. Not that she actually pays higher taxes, but its more of a burden for her than it is for him.

It is my firm belief that the politicians could tax the rich 95 percent and the rest of us 50 percent, and the politicians would still find a way to blow it all on some stupid program. We don't need to tax people more, we have to stop these politicians from blowing all of tax many for useless stupid programs.

Is this the kind of educational reform Obama means?
Is this the kind of educational reform Obama means?
And is Obama's connection to the infamous terrorist, William Ayers, more serious than the liberal media lets on? William Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was to secure funds to “raise political consciousness†in Chicago’s public schools. After he won the grant, Ayers’s group chose Barack Obama to distribute the money. Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them. Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the CAC grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical political agenda determined how much money they got. Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s armored car in which two police officers were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001 that he “wished he could have done more.†Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegally obtained wiretaps by the FBI. He was, in fact, guilty as sin. That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond understanding. The former terrorist had not repented of his views and the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them. So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to federal prison. His spiritual adviser and mentor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America†fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job and put him in charge of doling out $50 million is William Ayers, a terrorist who was a domestic Osama bin Laden in his youth. Even apart from the details of the Obama/Ayers connection, two key points emerge: a) Obama lied and misled the American people in his description of his relationship with Ayers as casual and arm’s-length; and b) Obama was consciously guided by Ayers’s radical philosophy, rooted in the teachings of leftist Saul Alinksy, in his distribution of CAC grant funds. Since Obama is asking us to let him direct education spending by the federal government and wants us to trust his veracity, these are difficulties he will have to explain in order to get the votes to win. Now that Obama is comfortably ahead in the polls, attention will understandably shift to him. We will want to know what kind of president he would make. The fact that, within the past 10 years, he participated in a radical program of political education conceptualized by an admitted radical terrorist offers no reassurance. Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago. Why did he hang out with Jeremiah Wright? Because he was new in town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia and having been educated at Columbia and Harvard, and needed all the local introductions he could get to jump-start his political career. Why was he so close to Rezko? Because he funded Obama’s campaigns and helped him buy a house for $300,000 less than he otherwise would have had to pay. Not a good recommendation for a president. http://thehill.com/dick-morris/the-obama-ayers-connection-2008-10-07.html http://thehill.com/dick-morris/the-obama-ayers-connection-2008-10-07.html http://thehill.com/dick-morris/the-obama-ayers-connection-2008-10-07.html http://thehill.com/dick-morris/the-obama-ayers-connection-2008-10-07.html
