They're mostly out for themselves, they don't care much about us. Hillary Clinton lost my vote when I saw her on YouTube congratulating Walter Cronkite for his "globalism award" and saying that he was proud to be sitting at the "right hand of Satan". Yup. She lost my vote right there. Not only that, but she wants me to be forced to have health care, even though I don't want or need it right now. America isn't a socialist country like her or Obama want it to be and it's definitely not a fascist country like McCain wants it to be. Elect McCain and we'll end up with a surveillance society with cameras watching your every move just like those 4 million CCTV cameras in London.

What a bunch of whiners. Wieners. Standing on the backs of everyman and wondering why the people who think and are smart enough to realize the inequity are trying to pull them down. After all, couldn't anybody climb up here, they ask? But the rest of you are right, we are supporting poor Morgan with our co-dependancy tactics. We probably need to show him some tough love and ignore him for a long while.

I don't think a person's political alignment is going to matter for crap if this country spirals into a recession. Liberal? Conservative? Pointless. All that will matter are the Haves and the Have Nots. All that Mr. Warstler's pointless drivel amounts to is a steaming pile of red herring. You're only making him happier by arguing against his point instead of ignoring him.

Its been known for a while. You can easily Google it. I await someone who disagrees with him to post a link saying liberals give more or the same amount. And yes, self employment is what is most likely going to be the future. Some say the next step after knowledge workers is the self contained business... in other words you won't just be a business man, you are the business, man! I am not sure how the self employed fit into the economic model of employment. Then again, just like many people focus on "the average", maybe we should look at the other employment formulas that would be akin to looking at the "mode" and the "mean" numbers so we can see what really going on? What's the point of just looking at "the average" rent of a NYer when the mode or the mean might tell you what most people really pay? Same with employment. LOL

Are you quoting a separate source? If so, could you provide the reference to the first quoted paragraph? Otherwise, there's a bit of a disconnect between the source you cited and the way you framed the source in the first place. Morgan,
