4. I like the face off title better.

That title is more likely to draw in viewers that desperately need to hear the message.

Kicked and recommended and thanks to the Bozita for the thread.:thumbsup:

10. Face off???
Are you kidding me? Ratigan and Moore are completely on the same page here. If anything, Matt played the "devil's advocate" in his asinine comment which drew the predictable (and rational) response from Michael Moore. In essence, our capitalistic system as it exists today DOES NOT WORK. PERIOD. It only rewards those who are able to cheat and exploit the loopholes put in place by OUR CONGRESS so that they can hord America's wealth at the expense of the suffering of MILLIONS of Americans today.

It's like hearing Republicans arguing against Franken's bill regarding gang rape by American corporations.

11. Dow going up
Based on my poor understanding of Wall street and watching a lot of Max Keiser videos here, it seems to me that...........

This current success is built on smoke and mirrors and the bottom will soon drop out again, even worse than the one that started barely a year ago.

And this time the effects will be even more widespread and drastic.

Like the rising Dow is the one last turn of the money spigot by entitled Wall Street and the Banks before they take the rest that's left and just disappear behind their community gates forever.

Just a hunch, but I don't know why any non-insider-trading-capable person would put any of their money back in to Wall Street? Are there still people in America that don't yet know that Wall Street is the most rigged gambling house in the entire USA?
