I believe that w/o universal health care, creativity and entrepreneurship will continue to decline. Someone has a great idea, but is stuck at a mundane job WITH health care....can this person take the risk of leaving the job especially if others are dependent on that health care insurance?

The Corporations are not going to hire people....they're flush w/ cash and what do they do? If publicly traded, they buy back their stock and the price goes up. Working people starve. Rich shareholders go to the bank.

Once our manufacturing base left our shores, the decline began. We are living The Decline of the American Empire.

Let the Global Financial Crisis ensue so the workers of the world can unite. I hope GLOBAL CAPITALISM is nearing its death.

Sometimes I hope the Mayans and Hopis are correct and Mother Nature tilts on her axis and we start anew....exterminating the evil and cruelty of the ruling class along with the sycophant baggers.
