America gets a wage cut.

See, Im much nicer than you. I didn't single you out individually. I just think all liberals are idiots

I say just you because I'm not arrogant enought to assume that all conservatives are as dumb as you are. For instance I know that matt is somewhat intelligent and for sure that Code is a freakin' genius so there are at least two guys with conservative leanings that I respect.

They're luck they got unions there in Hollywood.

There's a million $4/hr mexicans down the street ready to take over in a heartbeat.

Should be happy. It oculd be worse. A LOT worse.

What is it with us today...

"Oh my god that guy can't afford a house in Los Angeles it must be the economy bla bla"

Hey, here's a nutty idea= maybe, just maybe, not everybody can afford a nice pad in LA? People need to learn how to manage their budget a bit better. If you can't comfortably afford the house, don't buy it. Go live in a neighboring town, collect some money, and in a few years go ahead and buy that dream pad.

Yeah we are living in a neighboring town, our commutes are at least and hour one way with no traffic, but since everyone else is doing the same thing we have to commute 1 1/2 one way (traffic)...i paid 3.09 for gas on sunday...The people who live in 300,000 dollar homes are commuting almost 2 hours every day one way, and they live in the fucking desert-literally...Heres the problem with this statement....there are places that are cheaper to live in...ever try to find a job in Vermont? Wyoming? Minnisota?...yea housing is cheaper, you know why, cause there is no industry or job market...some of those states nearly shut down because of weather conditions alone...housing is not getting any cheaper any where except las vegas were real estate has back slid some....its not easy to pack up and move out of state or to just relocate- that takes money. here's another factor: neighborhoods are becoming more and more seperated socially....the "gap between the haves and the have nots" is becoming increasingly larger and more distant....you can go from a million dollar neighborhood to a low income rental district within a block or two in calif..,..im very fortunate, i live in a great city near the ocean and bought in at the bottom of the market, my home has increased well over 200,000 in 2 years...im lucky. but i pay out the A** to live here and do what i do. i have a real difficult time saving...

Geeezz....... and I thought health care costs were attributed to the $12 per Advil and $4 cotton balls they charge you while in the hospital....stupid me.

No, it's the billions and billions of dollars tie-up in medically-related lawsuits and people who shouldn't be recieving care and who have no ability to pay -- that's what makes for $12 Advil and $4 cotton balls. As of last year, 40% of all US hospitals were losing money... I'm pretty sure it's not the hospitals that are getting rich.

The so-called trickle down effect was debunked in the late 80's. Where you been?

Money tends to stay in the same social circle in which it is earned.

Ok, Wodin -- that last statement was so wrong it made my head hurt. It's been shown time and time again that money spans "social circles". You now owe me 2 Tylenol please.

Wealth stays in "social circles"... because the wealth are really good at this thing called "wealth preservation". It's pretty tricky to do though... you have to save so as to accumulate money, then invest it wisely (and usually conservatively).

Money transcends social circles. When the wealthy buy things it puts people to work.

 

[XBiker]

wrong wrong and wrong across the board. It isnot the same pool of money; wealth is created and there is no theoretical limit to how much there can be.

Take an economics course.

Thanks, MTSW.

I have tried to show -=NAV=- his own flawed logic, but he just doesn't get it.

That trade gap is looking pretty sweet.
