Capitalism comes home to roost

Working class Americans are mad. After years of preaching economic self sufficiency and capitalistic enterprise, those darned Chinese and Indian middleclass people are working hard and doing what capitalists do- buy. They’re buying crude oil, food supplies and whatever else makes them feel happy, just like us.

Now, gasoline may very well hit $5.00 a gallon by December, the cost of food is up and up. And vacations to our favorite familytopia cost more and more.

Truthfully, it’s no conspiracy, it’s just capitalism.

Farmers in Argentina are building agricultural powerhouses and amazing infrastructure that can and will beat the pants off of American farmers. The same is true for industrial and technical infrastructure in China and India.

Guess what America, things have changed. Unfortunately, few promises from presidential candidates will actually take us back to the days of easy dominate capitalism. Capital flows where there is money to be made. In Mumbai India a billionaire built an entire skyscraper just for his family home. 4 million feet to cuddle his wife and children and their 300 servants.

Many Americans have stopped dreaming big, big, big. Those who dream big and pursue those dreams with vigor will prosper.

Has the Democrat Primary Turned Into An Affirmative Action Set Aside

So, is it over? No, not yet. The spinners say,” She’s finished.” The Obama camp says they have won the right to be the nominee even though they will not have won enough popular votes from actual qualified registered voters to get the nomination. Super delegates are no
    where mentioned in our constitution. Obama also claims he should get the nod even though the voting citizens of two states have been disenfranchised.
 
   Sadly, the democrat primary selection process is beginning to look like an Equal    Opportunity fiasco. Ouch!   So, get into Princeton, even though you don’t qualify-but because you’re black; get into law school even though you don’t qualify because you’re black; and now, get
   to be the democrat nominee for president even though you can’t win enough votes from registered voters because-you’re black.
   
   I wonder which of the candidates has a sense of entitlement?
 
   What would happen if Obama where a white Harvard educated lawyer named Bob Smithman and he hadn’t won 2025 delegates from
    registered voters? Would the media and spinners be saying he had won the right to be the nominee. I doubt it. Sadly, the content of Obama’s character did not get enough registered voters to cast their ballots in enough primaries to give him the 2025 delegates to win. I don’t think the color of his skin should give him the nomination either.
