The Economics of Liberals Versus Conservatives According to my gOOgle Research the Definition of Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom")[1] is the belief in the importance of liberty and equal rights.[2] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally, liberals support ideas such as constitutionalism, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, and freedom of religion Rejecting several foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as nobility, established religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. Conservatism (Latin: conservare, "to preserve")[1] is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports, at the most, minimal and gradual change in society. Some conservatives seek to preserve things as they are, emphasizing stability and continuity, while others oppose modernism and seek a return to the way things were per gOOgle Research Republicans support Big Business while Democrats support the Common Man. In reality, Big Business and the Common Man need each other. Wal-Mart would not succeed if there was no workers to keep it running. If the rich get richer so should the poor get richer. Unfortunatedly this is not always the case. There is the theory of soaking the rich to the point where they move to 3rd World Counties to business which leave the common Countryman without. There is also the Business that expliots the Commonman such as the Coalmine Wars in West Virginia where the National Guards were sent in to shoot the striking coalminers. Perhaps Coalminer owners could import workers from 3rd World Counties to do the mining like they did in Rock Springs, Wyoming.. The Rock Springs massacre, also known as the Rock Springs Riot, occurred on September 2, 1885, in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming, in Sweetwater County. The riot, between Chinese immigrant miners and white immigrant miners, was the result of racial tensions and an ongoing labor dispute over the Union Pacific Coal Department's policy of paying Chinese miners lower wages than white miners. This policy caused the Chinese to be hired over the white miners, which further angered the white miners and contributed to the riot. Racial tensions were an even bigger factor in the massacre. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. per gOOgle research  Abracadabra  |

This is a point in time that the critical mass of inequity has reached its tipping point once again. This is not the first time that this has happened...only the latest in a repeating dynamic painted on the canvas of our history. Just as in your account of the Rock Springs Massacre, the majority are beginning to revolt against the minority because the minority has over reached in their mad rush to grasp more and still more. Let us hope that the minority listens to the message that is being told in countless places in this country and around this world...this is a time for a prudent response from the minority. Should they not listen at this time or should they not appropriately respond then history tells us that the future for the minority will be beset with strife beyond their capacity to imagine.

Excellent food for thought, Star...thanks Just because you have silenced a man does not mean you have changed his mind.

Skipper, I need to ask the question, since most of new big business jobs outside the financial sector seems to be exported, and immigrants are now being deported more than in the past, leaving some businesses in places like Alabama (with one of the toughest immigration laws in the land) with not enough workers to fill certain jobs, do you think the makings of such a riot are now lessened? The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page: St. Augustine

Star, good blog. Skipper, I need to ask the question, since most of new big business jobs outside the financial sector seems to be exported, and immigrants are now being deported more than in the past, leaving some businesses in places like Alabama (with one of the toughest immigration laws in the land) with not enough workers to fill certain jobs, do you think the makings of such a riot are now lessened? The facts indicate that the candidate with the most money wins 94% of the time. Thus our political candidates and resultant politicians are really bought and sold in a way that has not ever occurred before. The overwhelming majority of people, today, know full well that they have lost all belief that they have any impact on their elected representatives. The game is rigged and the 99% majority is mad as hell and for a very good reason. We can observe this daily. When 72% of Americans want congress to pass the jobs bill and the Senate votes it down and the House won't even bring it up for vote, that tells us who the politicians are working for. When you can observe that 62% of all Americans believe that we must raise taxes by two tenths of 1 per cent on the upper 1% in this country and the congress will not pass this, then we know that the game is rigged and the congress no longer listens to the people. The same "auction" dynamic is also now involved with the judiciary in this country.
