EMPTY RHETORIC. BENEATH CONTEMPT

EMPTY RHETORIC


The question before us is not whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.


FAVORS ONLY THE PROSPEROUS. THAT IS AN EMPTY CHARGE I REALLY DON'T GET IT. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WHENEVER YOU TALK, YOU SHOULD MAKE SENSE,. HOW CAN HE SAY OUR NATION FAVORS ONLY THE PROSPEROUS. WE ADORE AND ADMIRE THE PROSPEROUS, OF COURSE. BUT FAVORS??? THAT IS A VERY GENERAL WORD. FAVOR THE PROSPEROUS. LIKE HOW. THE PROSPEROUS PAY MORE MONEY IN TAXES THAN THE LOWER CLASSES. DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE WHO MAKE MORE THAN HALF A MILLION A YEAR, THAT IS PROSPEROOUS??? NO THAT IS FILTHY RICH. AND LOVING E VERY MINUTE. BUT FAVORS. THAT IS IRRESPONSIBLE . AN IRRESPONSIBLE CLAIM TO HEAT UP THE POLITICS OF ENVY.


THE BIG PICTURE AGAIN. THE SOUL OF THE LIBERAL.

The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity. NO IT HASN'T.

THIS IS SOMETHING PRAGMATIC SO CALLED CYNICAL RIGHT WINGERS LAUGH ABOUUT WITH IRONIC AND COMIC DISAPPROVAL. TO BORROW A PHRASE.

a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous.

LOOK, ACTUALLY IT CAN. A NATION THAT FAVORS ONLY THE PROSPEROUS? THAT IS EMPTY RHETORIC. IN GOOD TIMES, OUR PEOPLE LIVE WELL. IN BAD TIMES, A LARGER PERCENT OF THEM WORRY AND OVER WORK AND HAVE TO LOWER THEIR STANDARDS OF JOB SATISFACTION AND INCOME. BUT THAT IS NOT ABOUT FAVORING ONLY THE PROSPEROUS. THE PROSPEROUS ..

DEFINE THAT. WHEN KHRUSCHREV SAW THE PARKING LOT AT GM, HE SAID STUPIDLY, THOSE CARS BELONG TO THE BOSSES. IT WAS A FUNNY MOMENT, AGAIN OF NO IMPORTANCE. THE WHOLE THING IS OF NO IMPORTANCE.

FINALLY OF COURSE, IT IS EMPTY RHETORIC. NOTHING. THEY TALK THAT WAY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T.
