You say:

"right or wrong everyone has a right to there view. That doesn't give you the right to call people names or put them down."

Yes, all are free to think what they want in parts of the free world. But I do NOT agree that all should be free to make unfounded accusations towards corporations, our president, etc. There was a time in the USA, and it still happens in other parts of the world, you could get hung or jailed for such behavior.
I made well-founded accusations - but did not target anyone by name.

I'm all for the free exchange of information and beliefs - but am not a supporter of gross ignorance.

You go on to say:

"That doesn't give you the right to call people names or put them down."

If by chance, you are referring to me - I mentioned no names of any individuals here.
If you think that you have been personally targeted, you must have a guilty conscious.

In regard to the reasons you mention as a cause of this country being out of control. I don't agree, not even close. We are out of control because of ignorance and short-sightedness. If people, in general did even a little work to get a grasp of reality, we would not be in the mess that we are in.

I've worked hard all my life also - as a garbage man, truck driver, farmer, logger, carpenter, mechanic, house builder, truck driver, etc. I do whatever works, at the time. I've never made "big money", I've raised four children with no government help, and am now on a fifth new child.
My wife and I have lived carefully, and done fine. We are poor if we compare ourselves to the affluent in this country, but we are also rich if compared to much of the world.
I will also add that I live in an area with some of the highest fuel prices in the country along with some of the coldest weather. Most people in my area have to heat their homes with fuel-oil - which adds greatly to the high fuel-costs.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
