Who built the middle class and how?

Jesus! You are ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! I'm arguing for us to look at our own history and appreciate that balance is what makes us the most successful. We have many elderly people having their wealth stripped in nursing homes across the nation....some programs need to be implemented, some programs destroyed and some altered. I'm just trying to fight against polarization of mind that will lead to more extremes and less overall progress. You obviously DONT GET IT AND DONT WANT TO. You got your President in office....so good luck, but I hope republican representatives in office have a little more humility than you.

Boomer I have argued for and with you for our economic freedom and personal Liberty, guided by a moral foundation that both respects and appreciates our diversity.

Where have you ever read me arguing anything less than that, or Heaven forbid more than that through Left wing massive intervention into our Free market economy?

Once again you deflect boom, and take "outrage" at my suggestion that it is Freedom and Liberty that we need and Freedom and Liberty which has created our current level of wealth. I ask you to show me or point out an economic model that suggests the opposite model is best for us, and you turn around and argue that it is a "mix" of Socialism and a measure of our free market that works best.

But that wasn't I asked you to show me. I asked you to show me where's the economy where more income redistribution, high taxation of wealth creation, Government control over free markets or people restricted in their ability to control their own destiny that has worked or is working?

We agree America is the best economic model right now. But you're arguing for more Government control over our model and I'm arguing for less.

In this care, less is more.

I think less in some areas, and more in others. Obamacare doesn't seem to be solid (I think some type of version is best).

I do think wealth is too concentrated, and would advocate for a redirection of wealth. But that's my amateur opinion. And NOT AT ALL WHAT IM TRYING TO DISCUSS IN THIS THREAD.

First of all: stop knocking on a fellow Mountaineer.
Second: why don't you state what it is you are trying to prove?
Third: I think he did address the principle of the second law of thermodynamics

I did address the second law; he isn't intelligent enough to recognize it because he doesn't know what it is.

And yes, I had Thermo at WVU. I'm sure you never had Thermo in your life.
