Yep, there's nothing like good ol' fashioned common sense to ruin a perfectly good argument, is there?Uh-oh. I would so like to contribute on this subject but don't want to get the thread shut down. And remember, I also live in proximity to NYC, and worked there, the Kingdom of Mad Mike. Give me good ol' fashioned mafia style corruption anyday.

---- Just com'on over and live in Montreal, Quebec - Canada. ...We're pretty good here at that. :b
...Toronto ain't bad either. ...So is New York.
* We are right in the middle of a special commission here in Montreal; the Charbonneau commission, heard of it? ...All about corruption at all levels of our society.
...Entrepreneurs, politicians, Italian mafia, cement companies, construction companies, towns' officials (cities and municipalities' contracts), and all the rest.

A very educated opinion. I can't wait to see the expression on Team Obama's mainstream media friends when he loses despite all their best efforts to boost his cause vs. Romney's.
This is true. As always, the devil is in the details.
The details are where politicians, both right and left, tend to get it wrong.
A publicly held corporation has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders to maximize shareholder value. If this company is pursuing policies that sacrifice shareholder value because of trivial reasons such as political disagreement with the POTUS, then shareholders can, and should, sue said company. Such business decisions should be based purely on economic considerations, not political ones as you have described.
What you are describing does not make any sense as a policy for a business to pursue. But I'm making the generous assumption that you're telling the truth.
So the people who are doing well should subsidize the less fortunate more than they already do with their taxes ? Sounds pretty socialist to me.
Sitting on the sides lines is not politically motivated. Stupid polices that raise the costs to do business do which is the case with obamanomics.
What I see in the above posts is that one is slanted toward the right, and the other is slanted toward the left. I strongly suspect that you guys actually have a lot of common ground hidden in there someplace.
I'm reminded of the adage, "It isn't what you say, but how you say it."

Hi all
I would really appreciate keeping the political overtones out of the discussion.Discussion of politics is a no-no here at WBF

Correct
However when we start individually discussing political beliefs or party planks etc, these prove to be a no win situation and invariably decline to a pi$$ing contest and that is not what we are all about
This thread started as an innocent poll to see if we come close to the results, nothing more
Nice first post BTW

Have you thought about the fact the government prints money and gives it away to banks.
-- Hey we're passed half way in having a very good average (accurate) result from what's going to happen next Tuesday. :b
That's right, 100 votes here will pretty much reflect the overall presidential election's percentage (overall number) of votes. ...I think.
* From the scientific table of probability according to a certain number of people submitted to a fair poll.
