Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor! -
07-26-2010, 07:50 PM
Yes, it is the utra-liberal Washington Post, but occassionally their editors make a mistake and let some REAL American in. This is time is Neel Kashakari.
For those who aren't familer with Kashakri
Quote:
The writer, a managing director of the investment management firm PIMCO, served as an assistant Treasury secretary during the George W. Bush administration. He led the Office of Financial Stability and ran the Troubled Assets Relief Program until May 2009.
|
So Kashakri is telling it as it is to the greedy swine who steal money out of the mouths of the hard working rich in an article titled
No more 'me first' mentality on entitlements
Quote:
The fiscal crisis in Europe has awoken Americans to the enormous challenge we face from entitlements. The promises our country has made over the past few decades, combined with changing demographics and rising costs, have put us on a path to national insolvency. Unless we control our deficits we will face stifled economic growth and impaired standards of living, perhaps even as soon as a few years from now. Most economists agree that raising taxes cannot pay for these commitments; entitlements must be cut. Before we can embrace any reform proposals, however, we must understand the influence our culture has on our decision making.
A nation’s culture can have a profound impact on its competitiveness. Our shared beliefs in free markets, fair play and the rule of law inspire entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and give global investors confidence to bring their money to America. These beliefs have passed from citizen to citizen, from generation to generation. They have strengthened over our history and brought an important competitive edge to the United States.
Our belief in free markets is founded on the idea that each individual acting in his or her self-interest will lead to a superior outcome for the whole. The financial crisis has reminded us that free markets are not perfect—but they do allocate capital better than any other system we know. A “me first” mentality usually makes markets more efficient.
But this “me first” mentality can also lead to shortsighted political decision making. Most Americans agree that we need more energy from clean sources, such as wind power—until someone proposes installing a transmission line near their homes. Most people are against earmarks—unless it is their representative scoring money for their district.

It is very simple; greed is good. It encouraged countless generations of Americans like Carnegie, Rockefeller and JP Morgan to do the hard and thankless work to make their country the greatest on earth. Pure uninhibited selfishness has led (with some minor exceptions) to 150 years of uninterrupted prosperity. That is why it in the public interest the Rich hold 90% of the nation's wealth, not have to pay taxes and be allowed to pass those fortunes on to their children.
If greed is not rewarded why should any of them work at all?
HOWEVER, this "greed is good" it totally unacceptable went it comes to social entitlements. The poor did not EARN the right to be paid to do nothing like the son of a hard working CEO. This is just money wasted that cripples the countries potential and moral fiber. Americans need to know they can rely on themselves, not be some economic cripple like FDR and be forced to rely on some Nanny State.
There is a time for collective public action; like when we need to wage wars upon other people's. That is time for selflessness and American citizens should be willing step forward to fill the ranks of our nations military. They need to drop their selfishness and understand American business has every right to get top dollar for the equipment they supply to fight these wars too. They need to understand the rich need to focus on war production and not be distracted so their son's should be exempted from any conscription.
Americans just need to get over their selfishness.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

The poor fail to realize that they are an indispensible part of the American system. Every economist knows that we need at least 3 or 4% unemployment to make sure employers have a well of cheap labor to keep producing optimally. If it wasn't for starving, out of work, desperate people, who would do back breaking, menial labor in the hot sun? We would have to import more Mexi-can'ts.
I think one of the reasons that the South stopped fighting the Civil War was because they realized that we needed negras to be free so that they could constitute a vast lower class to provide cheap labor and justify the inflated law enforcement budgets that keep our families safe. Of course, they failed to realize that this would also bring AIDS, crack cocaine, gangs, and Barack Obama into our society.

Amen, Brother!! But I think one thing you fail to realize is that pitting ethnic groups against each other is also extremely profitable. If you have a coal mine, for instance, and the Czech and Slovak immigrants are getting uppity about safety or working conditions, bring in the Nigras. Everybody especially hates the Nigras anyway, so beside the Eastern Europeans losing their jobs, they're punished by having to watch the Nigras strut through the streets of the company town with their zoot suits and derby hats, whistling at the white women. That kind of thing really gets to them.... right where it hurts!!!
And when the Nigras have outlasted their usefulness, they can be always be replaced by the Chinee or the Dirty Spic, often at a fraction of the previous wage.
When I taught a few courses in the graduate business school at Landover Baptist University, my signature courses were "The Regulatory Structure and its Faultlines," "Accounting For Absentee Owners," and "Maintaining Simmering Ethnic Tensions."

It's like that terrific ex-Negro, Thomas Sowell, said the other day, "There is much discussion of the haves and the have-nots, but very little discussion of the doers and the do-nots." You betcha, Tom. Which reminds me that Wal-Mart has done more for poor people than any ten liberals ever have (at least nine of whom are guaranteed to hate Wal-Mart!), and you can take THAT to the Olive Garden with you.

The poor I know are not greedy. There are many people living off of SSI or SSDI who are living off of less than $1000 per month. They do there best to make it. There are also the working class who has to work at minimum wage and try to make it again off of about $1000 per month. These people are on housing, getting food stamps just to make it. I believe the rich need to help out the poor. Donate to a cereal drive that feeds kids breakfast during the summer, donate to a food pantry there are people who needs it.

Why don't you and your Nazi pals open up DEATH CAMPS for successful Americans so you can sell gold teeth to pay for some slackers permanent vacation?

Correction: They want a handout, while my husband actually works to provide for his family. Why should WE provide for the LAZY? The poor wouldn't be poor if they'd quit stuffing their faces, cranking out children before marriage, and whining about how bad they have it. I personally think they should do away with Food Stamps, Section 8 housing, welfare, etc. It makes people lazy and teaches NOTHING!!

One great way that the American system has pitted inferior races against one another is in the suburban sideyard. While the Mexican gardner is hard at work trimming hedges or mowing the lawn and a Nigra sneaks up to steal a pie off the kitchen windowsill, the gardner feels obligated to defend the premises from the Nigra. Armed with hedge clippers, he then attacks the Nigra at his most prominent and vulnerable area: the penis. Of course the Nigra won't miss a few inches off his penis, so he will be back for more pie after he rests up a bit, and the gardner will be ready with the chainsaw.

Interestingly enough, Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged and among the most famous Americans to ever argue in support of greed, was a self-described atheist.
While I agree with the sentiments expressed by the individual who started this thread, since they are pretty much word-for-word Ayn Rand, I thought I should point out this strange fact.
As a longtime fan of Rand's work, I sometimes feel as though her work begs the question of whether it is possible for a person to be a messenger of the Lord here on earth without that person even knowing it. Anyone with an opinion on that question (I don't know the answer - although her work makes a compelling case for the possibility), your insights are much appreciated.

Rand was a pervert and an atheist. She's being sodomized by every demon in hell right now.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Ayn Rand was a WOMAN????????????
Has anyone ever flipped her over and checked?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Ok, how can you talk about economics when what is really at stake is the suffering of people. We should be doing our best to reduce the amount of suffering in the world by not allowing social Darwinism to claim the lives of the disenfranchised. Every suffering body, deprived of food and clean shelter (not wants) sends a signal to god, it's much like fast tithing. Ok, so that sends a message that suffering is still here, so why would god of jesus come back to a planet that is continuing to allow suffering of his fathers children... He wont. In fact is says "I will break the back bone of your power and give it to some one that don't even know my name" Which is what i believe is happening today. I have never seen so many scientists leave a country faster that right here, in the United States.

Can I just point out that there is no such thing as social Darwinism. That is a term you have made up. Darwinism is the heresy of evolution. And why should we be trying to reduce suffering? If God has brought suffering on a person to test their faith or punish them, what right do we have to interfere?

Am I the only person who finds this incoherent? Fast tithing? The god of jesus?

Scientists are leaving the country because God is driving out those who hold to Darwinism.

Darwinism-a theory of organic evolution claiming that new species arise and are perpetuated by natural selection.
Evolution is a fact of life. There is no refutation on evolution. The only thing you can possibly say is that God forced the hand of evolution, but that would still be stretching it.
