    I'm here and will be here after the election no matter who wins. Just had a lot of work since Obama went up so big in the polls...company is planning for the increased tax rate but wants to keep the same effective tax rate so that means we'll be cutting some headcount and shipping overseas. I'm working on negotiating with the local jurisdictions of the potential site closures to see which ones will give us the best deal on local taxes (property and sales/use) if we keep that site open.

    Tell me, do you sell your products/service to anywhere outside the US? Canada and Mexico excluded.

    There will be crying if the repubs lose this one too. But like I've said...I'm not taking anything for granted right now.

    the internets made it possible as well...10-15 yrs ago it was much more difficult to communicate quickly with overseas divisions/employees.

    It is EVERYBODIES way!!!!

    Why can't you figure that out?

    What is Obama talking about?

    Taking money from people - giving it to other people; people want the money GREEDILY, so they vote for Obama.

    What is McCain talking about?

    About Obama wanting to take their money; people want to keep their money GREEDILY; so they vote for McCain.

    Both sides - money. Why is wanting to keep yours any greedier than wanting to get someone elses - IT'S ALL GREED!!!!

    AND - it's not good or bad; it JUST IS!!!!


    THAT is why, ultimately, economies that don't allow people to keep the fruits of their own labor, ultimately, fail - they simply don't have incentive to produce; at ANY level. You are going to get paid whether you work hard or not, whether you are efficient or not, whether your ideas are novel, OR NOT!!!! SOOOO all of those things suffer.

    IT IS ALSO the reason a completely, dog eat dog, absolutely unregulated/ungoverned capitilistic system CANNOT work - the haves will continually NOT have ENOUGH - for most, there is never ENOUGH - we, apparentlly hard-wired that way. They will entrench themselves, and eventually the people at the bottom (the vast majority of people) will be held there through monetary power - and inventivess and productivity for MOST people will be irrelevant; productivity will slow - same effect, ultimately of the govt. doing it; just slower, and more obvious as to whose at fault.

    Balance is requred - along with constant vigilance that we are not drifting too far one way or the other - we MUST allow people to feel like they can succeed, that the fruits of their labor will be, first and foremost, THEIR fruits; enlightened self-interest; where people can see beyond themselves and their family to how contributing to the entire society, is a view and philosophy reserved for VERY few individuals - and, I know you liberals hate to hear about this; the most CONSISTENT purveyor of that idea IN ACTION is organized religion in general, and in the United States (the most charitable country in the world) in Christian Churches!!!

    If we could get our got-damned politicians to focus on what works, and throw the away that which is a proven failure; we'd be there; but, alas, they are ALSO driven by Greed and self-interest; and when they get a formula that works to scratch that itch; they stick with it baby!!!!!

    Ultimately?

    We're ed.

    Saying $$$$$ is one sided is naive.

    The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good.

    Greed is right.

    Greed works.

    Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

    Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

    And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save , AIG, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

    Oh where to begin. A free market economy relies on people not stowing their money under their mattress or in a coffee can in the back yard. It's money FLOWING. Unfortunately, there have been those in every party who have more POWER than others and are able to keep the money flowing in their own ranks.

    And don't tell me Christians are charitable...they cherry pick that charity as much as everyone else.

    While I no longer believe that McCain will win, its the great timing of an economic crisis that did him in. As soon as the words "bailout" were first uttered, McCain's campaign was doomed.

    Not that it matters much. I don't have faith that either of them won't make things worse.

    Thanks, G. I hear you're doing another flick.

    I didn't say it was good, or bad; I said greed just IS.

    Things will get worse before they get better and the repubican pundits will be all over Obama on 01/21/09 since he hasn't fixed it yet.
