Can an Obama supporter tell me

[gasguy98]

Monetarist policies are to manage interest rates to affect the economy, which can prevent major inflation... when an economic equilibrium is lost(inefficient macroeconomics, aggregate supply inbalanced with aggregate demand) , we revert to Keynesian economics, using public sector intervention to spur economics, been doing it since the 30s.
Basically, a "level playing field" is another term for legislation that promotes economic growth, and in Keynesian economics means a public sector intervention of aggregate demand... 1 measure already that will influence this is the healthcare bill, which is a dual-role bill that is mean to make big business(50+ employees) offer healthcare, IE Walmart, while small businesses can offer competitive pay without benefits(healthcare is picked up by government), if Walmart's leadership would like to continue making the money they make, they will be forced to increase prices, which will, in turn, make smaller businesses more competitive.
What does the proposed taxes impose? Nothing really on demand-side, the rich pay more taxes, the lower 98% pay the same... this particular part is more about increasing tax revenues and reducing inflation rates than anything, IMO.
Now, the "handouts" you talk about? The government cell phones are meant to be a proponent of employment, as a manager, you know as well as I, I will not hire someone if they do not have a reliable method of contact or reliable transportation(I have a hard time seeing a fix to this in our current infrastructure). FAFSA, college aid, it is meant to give underprivileged youth the same opportunity to go to college as someone who was born into wealth... What exactly are you questioning as not "leveling the playing field"?

I know all the various economic theories ad nausium. I completely understand the idea of the government spending money to spur growth. I never thought that the level playing field , as described by democrats, was simply Keynesian economics.:unsure:

I thought the idea was that somehow some people are essentially born into slavery and there is no way for them to be unshackled. I believe your, or the ideas of those you espouse are wrong. Here is why:

1. As far as spending money is concerned, we don't have any to spend and owe 16 tril to boot. The 787 bil "stimulus package" didn't work, as even Obama won't claim it as a success. So all the theoretical BULL**** aside, there.

2. While people are of couse born into different circumstances everyone still has the same access to public resources. Everyone gets a free basic education. Those that succeed in doing well with the free education have have the opportunity to further their education in the form of loans, grats etc... Those that choose not to further their education can do nicely for themselves with blue collar careers IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO. I will not bore anyone with personal stories of peole that have thrived in spite of being born into less than perfect circumstances but there are many.

There will always be rich and poor. It was that way in the Soviet Union (99% poor). It is that way now with China (Only 97% poor) and it is the case in the USA (only a fraction of the population is really poor by worldwide standards).

Now if you could tell me that a huge group in the USA was DENIED access to resources and had no OPPORTUNITY for UPWARD MOBILITY you would have a point. Alas, that is simply not the case. The fact of the matter is we have reached a point where a huge portion of the population is content to let the government take care of them. They may not live in the prettiest house or drive the nicest car but they eat what they want, drink what they want, smoke what they want are are just...content.

The playing field is level. Some choose to PLAY and others just sit on the field watching the action.

IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
God, all lefties can do is post blog links and try to explain away their drivel with others theories.

This is incredible, I thought one of you would have an argument.[/QUOTE]

No argument to be had. No such thing is a level playing field. Maybe it gets said because women or minorities feel that under GOP control they don't have the same oppurtunites. I'm not a woman or a minority so thats just an opinion.

It's that awesome fear-mongering by liberals that has kept that fable alive. If Romney had won then women would be shunned to the kitchen and blacks would be slaves again. It's utterly ridiculous.

They don't offer a good argument because there hasn't been a successful model to point to,only failures ,see Great Leap Forward, communist Russia(millions dead).

Our founders said it best concerning our political situation.here is a few of there proven beliefs.

"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
-Benjamin Franklin

unearned entitlements?

"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principal of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."
-Thomas Jefferson
class warfare...evil rich?? Didn't someone say " I think at a certain point you've made enough" ?

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
-Thomas Jefferson

Big Daddy government(socialism) gonna make it all right.

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'Thou shall not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free."
-John Adams
The 99% vs 1%.remind anyone else of Occupy Wall Street

There are volumes of wisdom in our founders words that foreseen this or identified the progressives agenda long before we were here.
If one just looks ts easy to find.

Whats very curious to me is the 'Scientifically' minded left who supposedly so intelligent and on the cutting edge with all the new science(theories) wont apply the same logic when it comes to Social Science and the mountain of evidence that proofs socialism/communism DOES NOT WORK. They think it just hasn't been implemented correctly...yet. The fact is that no other system has brought a people further/ faster than true free market that forces competition and improvement. Americas poorest is still among the worlds richest ....,..........................................but take solace progressives/ leftist because it seems with record foodstamps, gas prices, unsubstainable entitlements ,record debt, high unemployment,and the dollar value dropping due to quanitative easing and social engineering it seems we are quickly "leveling the field" with the rest of the world.
