You gonna die.

You have a choice:
On your knees, or On you feet.

Which'll it be?

For most Americans, the choice would be "Sitting in my easy chair, watching 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?""

Most of these countries also had poorly regulated banking systems plagued by excessive borrowing and reckless lending. Corporate governance was often weak, with cronyism in abundance.

Hmmmmmmmm . . sound like any country you know? This is the handywork of our career politicians. Great article.

John McCain brings 30 years experience of running this country into the ground. Joe Biden brings 30 of his own. Barry Obomination, the so called newcomer has already demonstrated that he has no problem with the machinations of corruption. Yet, even he might have had at least a shot at my vote if he'd picked a Bill Gates calibur running mate. Bill, coincidentally, has a little extra time on his hands.

Gates took a talented group of people, sat them down and said "Look, folks. I don't know if this PC thing is going to work out or not. I can't afford to pay you but if you work hard and share my vision you will share in whatever rewards we reap." He becomes the richest guy in the world and legions of Microsoft millionaires put the Pacific Northwest back on the map.

This guy has more working side experience with politics, law, international business, labor, innovation, competition, wealth and the American Dream than perhaps any other.

John McCain vs. Joe Biden. Give me a freakin' break.

Man...Now there is a thought...Bill Gates running this country??? :shock:

Bill Gates? NOT HARDLY!!!

While he has done well and has a nice "fuzzy image" here are a couple of facts about him> He is the prime "sponsor" and "supporter" of H-1B visa program. That is to allow him bring in workers from India, or Pakinstan to replace his American programmers and software engineers. Why? because he doesn't have to pay them as much!!!! And neither will other American companies that can get a worker into the country on this visa program.
He also has agreed to engineer the Windows operating system in China for the COMMUNIST government, so that the new OS will block any average Chinese citizen from any web site that talks about freedom or democracy!! This new OS from Bill Gates will block anything the COMMUNIST Chinese government deems as "offensive" to the State. Of course he is being paid handsomely for this work.
I mean good grief, how greedy is this guy? Isn't he rich enough already?

The Republicans have run this country into the ground, with help from the Dems also. "We, the People," is a laughable joke in Washington, DC. . It is run completly for the benefit of those special interests willing to pony up the money to a corrupt government.
While we may criticize of countries as corrupt, when you step back, and look at the sheer dollar amounts being given away to special interests, that is mis-spent/over charged, the level of fraud, etc., we now may be the most corrupted government in the entire world!!

At the First Continental Congress, if one made his living as either a lawyer or in the legal profession, they were barred entry!! Their participation was not wanted nor allowed. Our forefathers were much smarter than we are.
