Scott:
I am certainly above the median income in this country but I am hardly rich. Your feeble mind has probably forgotten that the Bill Gates economic boom in the 1990s ended in the tech stock bubble of 2000 in part prompted i9n part by the Bill Clinton attack on Microsoft. So the Bush post-911 boom ended in a housing bubble. This may come as shock to you but there is something called a business cycle. Both the post-Clinton recession and the Bush recession were short although it looks like Bush’s recession won’t really be a recession since GDP will probably not go negative.
As far as oil and food prices go the first is the result of the Democratic Party’s twenty year history of obstructionism on energy development and the food crisis is the result of our failure to lock up Al Gore in a home for the mental ill where his ravings on the end of world won’t be taken so seriously.
I can see by your ramblings about socialism that you are one of the ignorant people I speak of. Anybody who knows the history of socialism knows that all it produces is poverty and repression. If you are truly enamored with totalitarianism I suggest you become a devotee of Mussolini or his disciples in China. At least with Fascism you get some economic benefit for living in a police state.
