      <![CDATA[We have seemed to become a disposable culture or at least tending that way. Honest hard-working people are disposed of like so much used tissue paper by management that is solely focused on the next quarter's stock market affecting reports and have never made anything except anger and pain in their careers.<br>
<br>
And what is really sad, is the lies they sell and promulgate for political gain support ing outsourcing to pittance wage countries for the quarter or two of additional profits while U.S. employment and U.S. infrastructure languish and sink lower and lower from government/public inaction.<br>
<br>
We can't afford to help our unemployed, or rebuild the infrastructure necessary for our country to maintain the standard of living we grew up with, but we can afford "a military capable of fighting two global conflicts simultaneously." Even though the 'cold war' died twenty years ago and U.S. military expenditure exceed he total military spending of the top 15 other countries expenditures by over 30 billion dollars. We spend on our military spending five time the next highest expenditure (China)! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count&hellip;</a>

      <![CDATA[Thanks for this article.  The testimonials of the people left behind by capitalism should break anyone's heart.  The fact that nearly half, and more than that in Fort Smith, sucked hook line and sinker the conservative tripe that capitalism and the free market, if only let loose from pesky regulations like a livable wage, or safe working conditions, or environmental protections, would restore America should scare the hell out of us all.  How many of these displaced workers do you think voted for the fairy tale?<br>
Once you believe the easter bunny left that quarter under your pillow there's no telling what you will vote for.
