Pretty well the same to some extent in Canada.

Well there is a slight income discrepency between individuals even in Canada. One of the local fellows is up to averaging 200 million a year profit. He says he will be a billionaire in two more years I hear. Then he is going to slow down a little he claims.

The system helps him out by giving major grants and forgivable loans on a continual basis for one thing or another. When he was smaller the grants and loans made the local news. Not a word of them anymore.

Getting them provides a full time occupation for some of his staff. If anyone questioned the government they would be told he makes jobs.

The truth is the average taxpayer is enabling his continious growth. Their money makes the jobs. If the continious handouts where not happening he may only average 100 million a year profit. We have to help him keep up appearances I suppose.

The rich are not getting richer by accident or only on there own means it seems around here at least. Instead it is by indirect transfer of the average guys money. So now he gets the direct return from them and indirect as well. What a system.

If he gets much larger I would not be suprised if some of his operations went to China. He would figure out a way for the government to pay for that as well. Or perhaps if the government would pay for the labour costs to remain here he might stay.

He is now bringing in mexicans as the locals will not work for the money he pays. Or not enough of the locals will is a fair statement. So China or a simular place is in the cards. It is nice to know the provincial taxpayers built a giant enterprise overseas when that occurs.

Those are all quite impressive, but I don't see what any of them has to do with any czars failing to get a required congressional consultation or approval.

That is "our man Mitch" Daniels, governor of Indiana. He pledged support to the unions in exchange for their support and now is pushing through the so called "right to work" bill which will gut their rights in Indiana. When will labor ever learn that R's will not be on their side?

I didn't watch his remarks.

BTW, he is not as old as he looks.

The whole line of reasoning is bogus. The so called Czars are advisors to the executive branch. They don't require congressional approval before advising the president.

You mean the only one that made sense in what he said during the entire evening?

As I listed, there are NUMEROUS anomalies with this bunch of zealots and they have indeed, working with B.O. I'm sure have INDEED done things without congressional approval.

B.O. said at one point something about this "messy democracy." That was one of MANY statements he has made that indicates his desire for dicatorship.

Below is a really good view of his thoughts about democracy and one of his millions of recent examples of saying that he needs another four years to get the job done. HMMM... three years of his policies and things are worse instead of better, but he wants four more years? What a politician!

Things are worse, but it's always someone elses fault; it's Bush, it's the earthquake in Japan, it's the congress. When he is he going to man up and accept responsibility?

In your first paragraph you are arguing with yourself.

The rest of your post.....well....I have no comment.

You are really going to state that because he called this messy democracy a "messy democracy" that indicated his desire for a dictatorship?

Thats preposterous.

Democracy is messy, thats just how it is, and in my opinion one of the strengths of this form of government, where a surprising amount of laundry is aired in public.

Just the other day Gingrich was on the Today show saying Nancy Pelosi lives in a "San Francisco environment of strange fantasies". (she had said something about how she knows something that would make him a bad president, so don't vote for him or some such)

Using your preposterous logic, I would then state that he obviously desires to drop a nuke on the city of San Francisco and rid the country of the substantial Gay population and pesky argumentative Californians residing in that city.

Preposterous? I suppose it would be to someone who blindly follows the man around kissing the ground he steps on. For someone with such an illusion, the man can do no wrong.

For those not taken in by him, it is obvious that he does NOT think of himself as a servant of the people. He thinks of himself as royalty.

Love is blind.
