hypercrites

donni, what you say about the market was true in the 1990's, the era of Chainsaw Al's glory, and is not true now, sorry. Chainsaw Al met his waterloo with Sunbeam and that market theory about cutting labor = market rise is gone with the wind and Chainsaw Al.  The market nosedived under the paradigm you describe and even Greenspan admitted to being wrong.

Please update your market fundamentals to this century.

By firing thousands of employees at once and closing plants and factories, he drastically altered the economic status of such corporations as Scott Paper and Crown Zellerbach. He sold Scott Paper to Kimberly-Clark in 1995 for $7.8 billion and walked away with a $100 million golden parachute...."-wiki

nope this isn't happening anymore. seems to me it is happening faster and faster. why are so many in prison instead of working or getting an education? why do so many young people see the military as an only option? because things have gotten better since the 90's? please-that is rubbish. obama changed nothing and that is exactly what they all wanted. you know those 'persons' called corporations? yea, them. the ones our politicians are so snuggly with? yea, them. and it does not matter dim or repug. the dim may do it fearfully, carefully, with remorse even-unlike the repug who seems to do it with zeal and righteousness, even (as if ), but they both do it. we need a real grassroots candidate or better yet a complete overhaul of our system. we need to get the rats, the foxes, the weasels, and the damn wolves out of OUR house! obomba had his chance and blew it-no pun intended! but i knew he was STILL THEM and nothing would change-the people acted like idiots over him. i wished he was what they expected, what he alluded he was....but i saw thru it pretty early-he did not get my vote. i am voting for peaceful revolution and i WILL not give them credence by voting for either. let's shake up this dog and pony show-let's prove we're not as stupid and shallow as they think we are. see they think we are them trying to 'take' theirs because that's what they do. so of course they are 'showing' themselves, finally, obviously. the emperors truly have not a stitch on and NOTHING to be proud of.
