I'm not the only one, Jim. I think anyone reading your post and then re-reading mine will find were the logic lies, not just "hyperbole". I'm glad you are doing so well in your retirement years while the working class are finding cuts in benefits that they EARNED as part of their compensation. Folks, like me, are finding they will have to work an extra 10 year to retire(I have to work 43 yrs to retire now instead of 33) and many are having to rejoin the work force(after retirement) just to afford health care. Exxon just awarded their ceo a $400mil retirement bonus(quite a dent in a Billion dollar enterprise) while their pension plan is underfunded. I find your comparison of the average American worker and the CEO receiving a $400 million bonus not only repulsive but disgusting.
As far as alternative energy, that you find pleasure in dismissing, you need to look no further than Bush(the man you support so much) to see that its not only viable but necessary. I find it quite interesting that his plans for alternative energy don't take effect until a year or 2 after he is no longer in power(I also find it very interesting that OPEC says there is no need for oil to cost as much as it does but.. it does).
In other words, anyone reading your posts that actually has a mind of their own can easily see right through it. Its more than just trendy words and "hyperbole". You will undoubtly continue to sway those that can't think for themselves but you won't sway me. I'm living in the trenches and hoping for the best. Apparently you have no idea what the middle class, working American, is going through.
Oh and Jim, stay away from those ridiculously extreme right wing websites... unless it benefits you, which apparently it does.
PS I think mustangworks needs a political forum. It would beat hijacking threads in the lounge, imo.
