Oh I have heard of all that. But taxation isn't helping isn't it. Of course the invest but most are out sourcing so that investment is not in America.

Because people call for higher taxes, more regulation and higher minimum wages. It drives business out of the nation.

Why do you need more than basic needs? Material goods don't last forever.

Basic needs like food and water are material goods.

And a dollar menu? Do you see nice sized meals on the dollar menu? No.

1. Not everyone is entitle to a three course meal.

2. For a dollar you can get a grilled union cheddar burger, mc-double, hot n spicy mc-chicken, mc-chicken, side salad, fruit n yogurt, sweet tea, vanilla cone or cookie. For a dollar that's pretty good.

If taxation on the rich is progressive then I don't see why everything is still jacked.

So its not the system you want unless everything is working fine? Jeez.

Corporations are leaving and the money goes else where. We are losing tax dollars.

Again, if you have a nation that is unfriendly to corporations and business you should expect them to leave. There are other countries in the world.

Why do the rich need all of this money they get from the lower class?

Because they opened up a business and sold goods to them. The lower class wanted the goods more than the money and the rich wanted the money more than the goods.

Why do you need all of your money? You don't NEED computer. You don't NEED a phone. You don't NEED a car. You don't NEED a tv.

Congrats, you've accepted the "if not us, then all the same" way of viewing the world in black and white.

Using the word as it means, a supporter of liberalism, especially if your a conservative, a follower of classical liberalism or neo-liberalism (ie, fiscally conservative) your probably a liberal. In fact, the democrats are also liberal, just of the welfare type. If you support capitalism, your a liberal. Lately the conservatives have used the term to demonized the welfare liberals, so the actual, original meaning has been lost on far too many people which apparently have never actually bother to educate themselves on political theory.

One cannot be a communist and a socialist at the same time. The two are completely different.
