I actually think the biggest problem with the prius is how people drive it. I see many on the interstate flying by me at 80 mph, negating the advantages of the hybrid. It ceases to be a hybrid at these speeds and operates like a standard 4 cyl. car. Advantage is lost.Quote:

Finally, a lot of people cringe when they see the phrase "trickle-down economics" but that is exactly how economies work in this world. Smart, ambitious people generate wealth, which is invested or spent. These funds trickle down to the average person, whether a landscaper, sales person, assembly line worker, etc. As evidence I offer the current "trickle-down" of the recession to the average person. Without the investment of capital, no jobs can be created.
A good question. I don't know. You can only read everything you can and make an informed decision.Quote:

But What happened in the last 8 years or more was an unnaturally large redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy. It got out of kilter and needs rebalancing. Thats my opinion.Quote:

And trust me, as a small business owner, they are taxing the crap out of me. Bush was taxing the crap out of me, and Obama will continue to tax the crap out of me. Until the people run the country, and not large corporations, and their interests, then its how it will always be. I have to lay off workers because of taxes I pay, and get nothing back for. THese taxes to not employ anyone, they just allow the govenment to spend more(any government job is a negative to society. The fewer government jobs the better our country.
That prompts another question: How many miles would you have to drive a hybrid to save enough energy to make it worth scrapping your Lincoln? Quite a few, I'd wager......Quote:

For the last 30 years or longer we have all been part of the problem.....And now its time to become a responsible and accountable country and figure out how to fix and pay for all our mistakes.....America still is the greatest country in the world so people need to Love it...Get you asses back to work and make it ours again pay to fix all of our mistakes and if you dont want to contribute your share.... then those people should get the F++k out of here! So stop blaming it on Bush or Carter or Clinton or who ever... but when you look in the mirror you will proberly see who is to blame in one way or another.....All of us! Yes you too!Quote:
