The corpoarate pirates who constitute the top 1% of the population, and have lock on most of the weath, are the ones who have driven the economy into the ground. It was driven into the ground BEFORE Obama was elected. And speakin of the "race card," it seems that it is Cain who serves up that piece of demagoguery with his nonsense about Blacks being brainwashed to vote Republcan.CAin is playing thw WHITE RACIST card, and he is there precisely to be able to play that card without charges of racism. But white racism is white racism even when a Negro buffoon is promoting on behalf of white corporate massa. What's interesting is that while American racism certainly crosses all political lines--right, left and center--the MOST vehemently and stubbornly racist elements nearly always come from the Right. And yet it is the right that is always complaining about Blacks using the race card---unless those blacks, like Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas--are playing the race card AGAINST Black folk on behalf of their right wing white masters. And if there is a Medusian stare of which many whites are afraid, perhaps it's their OWN IMAGE in the mirror. Better than to cover the ugly visage of bigotry with a smiling, clowning and accomodating Negro face. But whence comes this face? ENTER: Herman Cain.

Note by Me: I don't agree with the Jesuits for obvious reasons (you can find their real history in libraries, books, and the net that isn't shown in the media), but I agree with these acts to fight against poverty in America.

Well there's several things wrong with that thought:
1) every other developed nation is not on the gold standard either. It's become obsolete to rely on gold as a use of money. What are you going to do? Give someone a piece of gold to purchase something?
2) Tax cuts increase the deficit.
3) Eliminate income taxes and the federal government basically loses its main source of revenue. Besides, every other developed nation also has an income tax, I don't think you can escape it by moving.

Of course JFK was right that we must maintain good public health to remain strong as a nation. My girlfriend was surprized that John Kennedy was a US Navy veteran and that he also personally directed the embargo of Soviet missile imports to Cuba. Why is this not in public school history books? Are we remiss of educating our public of these essential facts?
_________________________
That's not really true...Canada for example has a 5% federal tax on top of the regular sales tax and they still have an income tax and while the government deficit is alot less than the US, they still have some deficit. Since it's a consumption tax, the government only receives what people spend, nothing more. It does pay for universal healthcare though.
What isn't mentioned is JFK reduced the tax rate from 78% to 72% he would not have reduced it to 35% that is just insane!!!
______________
What you say is right on short run, but what about the long run? Cutting taxes in recession mean you have to adjust and avoid structural deficit, otherwise big problem will come. It's not just taxes, it's everything. Sure, cutting taxes could help on the AD-AS model, but a government could spend more on stuff that have a big multiplier (e.g: public road) to bring the economy to the full potential. It's like clothes : a XXX T-shirt does not fit everyone all the time.

1 week ago"Black men were actually slightly more likely to initiate contact with white women than black women."
John: Only 8% of married Black men are married to White women.
However, 48.9% of Korean American women are married to White men.
Hence, why is the 8% often included in articles like this...but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING..about the 48.9%...which is SIX times as much as Black men?!
At the website Asian-Nation in... there is a chart listing inter-ethnic (interracial) marriage rates for Asian Americans by group.
The highest rates "for marriage to Whites" are:
Koreans: men 24.9% and women 48.9%.
Japanese: men 24% and women 31.1%
Filipinos: man 27.1% and women 40%
A significantly higher rate of inter-ethnic marriage occurs among Asian American groups than for Black men.
Hence, I hope you all will begin expanding on inter-"racial" marriage/dating statistics, articles, etc....than solely focusing on Blacks and Whites (the lowest rate of all ethnic groups...which doesn't make mathematical sense).
The primary focus of most articles written about inter-"racial" dating or marriages seems to be "there's something wrong with Black women...and that's the reason why Black men seek White women." Well, as I noted above..."only 8% of married Black men are married to White women...while the overwhelming majority are married to Black women."
Is there something wrong with Korean men.....which motivates such a high rate of marriage between Korean American women and White men?!
Is there something wrong with White men which makes White women date and marry Black men?!
Is there something wrong with Japanese men and women which compels them to marry White men and women?!
None of the preceding questions are ever implied in most articles about inter-ethnic dating or marriage for non-Black people...because they're never included.
Hence, is there an orchestrated attempt to cause trouble between Black men and women?! To make Black women feel less than

The phrase 'Black men' includes all male members of the black race... but African American men are Black men raised in America it does not include Black men living in (or from) places like Jamaica, Trinidad, Africa, Belize etc.
That is why I call myself Black. I am a Black woman period. I am a Black woman born in America. I am Black. I am a woman. I am an American Period. I don't like all of the division between us Blacks. I will not call myself African American because by that standard ALL Americans are African American, because Africa is where life originated.
Let's see Italian- American, Irish-American, Israeli-American, African-American, Jamaican - American, Spanish- American... Come on... America is a melting pot and every Black is not an African America unless every American is an African- American.

I found similiar data that said:
blacks were the LEAST likely to marry outside our race
Native Americans were the MOST likely to marry whites (which might explain why their population is less than 1/1oth of what it was 100 years ago)
and that when whites married non-whites, blacks were the least likely group they married
which is great news to me
I don't see why we think dating/marrying/breeding with whites is a compliment to us
our history with them -- both past AND present -- should be enough to drive a SANE BM or BW in the opposite direction

Why would a NORMAL man (or woman) not think his female mirror image -- the image of his mother, grandmother, aunt, sisters, and daughters were the most beautiful?
This is like saying a male elephant would find a zebra female more desirable than his NATURAL female mate. It is NATURAL for a man to find the women of his race -- the ones who look like his mother -- the most desirable UNLESS he has been taught otherwise.

Here's an excerpt from the book, "Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation" by Anon
Pre-Modern Asian Ideas On Race
The text below is reprinted from the article, “Universal preference of whiteness over blackness?”
Standards of beauty in South and Southeast Asia: Marco Polo reports on the Dravidians of South India: “It is a fact that in this country when a child is born they anoint him once a week with oil of sesame, and this makes him grow much darker than when he was born."
In the Chinese record Nan tsi Chou, a Chinese traveler to Southeast Asia wrote of the people: “...they consider black the most beautiful.”
Prior to European colonization, the ancient Visayans of the Philippines
considered the very opposite of high noses and oval faces handsome.
Visayans, as well as some other Austronesian peoples in Malaysia and Indonesia, compressed their babies’ skulls to achieve broad faces and flat noses.
Old Chinese Views On Caucasians
By traditional Chinese opera conventions, a black face is considered nobler. Actors wear masks that denote the character’s qualities. A predominantly black face indicates courage, righteousness, and incorruptibility. A predominantly white face indicates craftiness, deceit, and knavery.
"Ming Dynasty China records even state that Caucasians, especially blondes, are physically unattractive: “Huihui are shaggy with big noses, and Qipchags have light hair and blue eyes. Their appearance is vile and peculiar, so there are those (Chinese) who do not wish to marry them.”
This distaste for blondes is a stark contrast to the worship of European standards of beauty so prevalent among modern Asians today.
The Character And Beauty Of Ethiopians Admired By Ancient Europeans
“The Ethiopians,” wrote Herodotos, “are said to be the tallest and best-looking
people in the world.” (In ancient Roman/Greek writings, the term “Ethiopian” is loosely used to refer to all black Africans) -- male AND female."
-----------------------
Brother, the ONLY reason some BM desire WW is we have been brainwashed for OVER 500 YEARS to think white is superior. Bottom line, if we had been enslaved by PURPLE people for 500 years, brother, some BM would be chasing purple-skinned females, saying they were the most beautiful females in the world.

Now, you integration-minded Negroes are trying to force yourselves on your former slave master, trying to make him accept you in his drawing room; you want to hang out with his women rather than the women of your own kind. Now how can any Negro, man or woman, who sleeps with a white person speak for me? No black person married to a white person can speak for me!
Because only a man who is ashamed of what he is will marry out of his race. There has to be something wrong when a man or a woman leaves his own people and marries somebody of another kind. Men who are proud of being black marry black women; women who are proud of being black marry black men.
This is particularly true when you realize that these Negroes who go for integration and intermarriage are linking up with the very people who lynched their fathers, raped their mothers, and put their kid sisters in the kitchen to scrub floors."

MARCUS GARVEY - Message to the People: The Course of African Philosophy
"For a rich Negro to marry a poor white is an unpardonable crime and sin; because it simply means the transference of the wealth of the race to another, and the ultimate loss of that wealth to the race. It is logically evident that if the Negro is rich, he gained all or most of his wealth from his race.
Therefore, to ignore the opposite sex of his race and intermarry with another is to commit a crime or sin for which he should never be pardoned by his race.
Teach the people to abhor such Negroes. Have nothing to do with them so long as they continue in that relationship. This must be done diplomatically, not to the hearing of the white race.
"For a Negro man to marry someone who does not look like his mother or is not a member of his race is to insult his mother, nature and God, who made his father. The best tribute a race can pay to nature and God is to preserve its species; when it does otherwise, it is in rebellion.
Don't be in rebellion against God, nature or your parents that yo know of; they came before you and should have known better.
Insist on a campaign of race purity; that is, doing everything moral and social within the race. Close ranks against all other races. It is natural that it is a disgrace to mix your race with other races. To split up the race is unwholesome and does not tend to morally dignify the race. It will be a beautiful thing when we have a standard Negro Race."

They will derail ANY legitimate discussion of racism and show no respect for books, learning, knowledge or the great black men and women who preached unity and respect between the BM and BW -- because they have no respect for black people OR the truth.

CHECK:
AFRICANS DID NOT SELL THEIR OWN PEOPLE INTO SLAVERY
"I read an article online today and I was shocked to read so many people believe Africans just sold their own into slavery just like that. I wanted to comment on the article, but the comment section had been disabled so I couldn't comment that is why I am making this post to let people know that Africans weren't that stupid to have sold their own brothers and sisters into slavery.
We were stupid to have allowed the white strangers into our land in the first place but we weren't that stupid to have sold our own brothers and sisters into slavery just like that. We allowed the white strangers into our land because they said they "come in peace".
According to my grandfather, In those days when there was no Christianity and no modern day government system in Africa, Kings, Queens, and other traditional rulers ruled their kingdoms as heads of states and judged cases according to the rules and regulations of the land. Those who disobeyed the laws of the land were punished and those who obeyed and sacrificed for the land were rewarded accordingly.
Although every land had some prison facilities, those prisons weren't meant for large groups of criminals so those who killed were killed. Those who stole paid dearly for it. Those who slept with people's wives were banished from the land. Children who disobeyed elders were punished accordingly. And so on.
My country Ghana in West Africa was a major Slave Trade Post (Headquarters) where slaves from different parts of Africa were brought and arranged before shipping abroad.
When the White strangers first came to Africa, we were not sure about their intentions so most communities drove them away from their lands but the White strangers managed to convince some of our traditional rulers that they had not come to cause any harm but just to preach the good news and to trade with the local people. Some of the local chiefs along the coast started accepting the White strangers by giving them a place to stay.
The White strangers started building missionary centers where they stayed and preached the gospel and also traded with the local people. But they later on expanded those missionary centers into forts and castles where they packed slaves before shipping them abroad.
The white strangers did not understand the local language and the local people did not understand a word the white strangers were saying so it made communication very difficult. Because of that the white strangers went to the local rulers and asked the local rulers to give them some of the local people to train so they can speak the foreign language which would make communication easier but none of those local rulers were ready to give their people out to go stay with those white strangers.
Later on some of the local rulers came up with an idea that, instead of killing those who killed, they could actually give those criminals to the white strangers so the white strangers could preach the gospel to them and also train them in the foreign language in order to aid communication which is better than killing those criminals. So those traditional rulers gave these criminals out to the white strangers and to show appreciation, those white strangers gave gifts like bottles of wine, mirrors, etc. to the traditional rulers. That was how the white strangers got their first "local servers".
So those local people lived and served the white strangers in the castles and forts and learned the foreign language which enabled them translate the local language for the white strangers and the foreign language to the local people. This helped a lot in communication.
Those local people living with the white strangers served and worshiped them so well to the point where the white strangers began asking for more. Because of the benefits they derived from these local servers, some of the white strangers took some local servers with them on their return home. Back home (abroad) they found those local servers very useful and decided to come back for more.
They realized that if they bring more of these local servers abroad, they could use them to work on their plantation farms back home to make more money. They also realized they could sell some of these 'local servers' to their friends and relatives and make more money and that was why most of those white strangers returned with the intention of picking more local servers (this time around, slaves).
So, they returned for slaves but no local ruler was ready to sell his people out except those criminals I mentioned earlier on and prisoners of war (tribal wars). In my country for example, the Ashantis and those living in the interior parts of the country did not want to have anything to do with the white strangers.
In fact the first white stranger who set foot on the Ashanti empire did not return. But the white strangers needed slaves and more slaves so what they did was that, they created confusion among the various tribes so that there would be more tribal wars and more war prisoners so they could get more slaves and that was exactly what they did. As time went on, the white strangers started supplying some of the local warriors with guns to enable them wound and catch more war prisoners for them and in return the white strangers started giving those local warriors gifts to encourage them catch more prisoners of war for them.
In other words, the more tribal conflicts the white strangers created, the more slaves they got so those white strangers created even more confusion amongst tribal groups and communities. In my country for example, because the Ashanti empire was so powerful to defeat, the white strangers created so much confusion and so much wars between the Ashantis and the neighboring tribes and in some cases supplied some of those neighboring tribes with guns to enable them defeat the Ashantis.
The white strangers continued this until they were able to defeat the Ashantis and took away the King of the Ashantis (Nana Prempeh I) and the queen mother (Nana Yaa Asantewaa) and several others just to break the Ashanti Kingdom apart even after slavery so they can colonize and control the Ashanti gold,etc.
So, to conclude, we Africans did not sell our own brothers and sisters into slavery just like that. We were deceived and we were manipulated and the most painful part is that, some of my people were too blind to see which is very bad."

The Time Has Come (1964-66)
After a decade-long cry for justice, a new sound is heard in the civil rights movement: the insistent call for power. Malcolm X takes an eloquent nationalism to urban streets as a younger generation of black leaders listens. In the South, Stokely Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) move from "Freedom Now!" to "Black Power!" as the fabric of the traditional movement changes.

5 hours ago (on Pat's comments)I would have told him....."You damn right it's a black thing....Matter of fact, ALL the food you white folks eat are a BLACK THING, cause we all know y'all can't cook worth s___ and always been too damn lazy to find your own food"
Then I would have said..."What is murder, slavery and genocide....isn't that a white thing?"
See.....These damn black news heads and ppl in the media don't know how to verbally yet politely smash on these silly a___ white folks. They just laugh or shrug the s____ off like it's nothing...Perhaps it is nothing, BUT I'd have to let those arrogant white beasts know that I'm not the one to fool with like that....Save your slick side jokes for obama, because BLACK PEOPLE will get you told!
I guess that's why I never strove to be in the media spotlight....With this overtly sarcastic ass character I have, I wouldn't stand a chance....Biting my tongue has never been my strong point.....
