12. History
Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 09:17 AM by 90-percent
Did not American Automakers actively dismantle the US rail system so that all form of US transport would be in the family car driving all across our Interstates that were designed originally to transport War Goods all over the country?

That would be ironic giving that to the people who destroyed public mass transit fifty to sixty years ago?

I would suggest a new law that forbids the current management class from being employed by an company that has more than ten people. And that anybody that has an Ivy League MBA or undergrad degree could not serve in any position other than one level below middle management.

America's entire management class has betrayed the interests of all American workers and the American economy itself.

I have to work out all the Unconstitutional aspects of my plan, however. Give me a brake. I only thought of it in the middle of writing this post!

Money Handlers do not create wealth. Manufacturing is what creates wealth the most. If the American people were allowed to design and build modern rail mass transit without corporate pinheads ruining it, it would be the envy of the World.

Let's get back to making stuff instead of creating toxic economic bubbles that only benefit sociopathic corporate greed heads, at the expense of the retirement funds of the remaining 98% of us.
