Wow Corbin
That was bright and meaningful as always
Do you have anything at all constructive to say?
Can you prove me wrong at all?
How is this whining?
Is it whining just because it does not agree with your views?
I guess if Bush walked up to me and stabbed me and I said ‘Hey man, that hurt. You shouldn’t stab people’. You would say I was just whining because I was saying Bush did wrong.

I have now taken several business courses since I was looking to open my own business. But during all of that I also looked at the economy and talked with those who are there to give advice about opening your own business and it was clear that he time is not right to do such right now due to there being little in the way of aid for small businesses (Loans and such) thanks to Bush’s’ cut backs on that area and the economy itself is not in a position to support anything new right now.
Having worked in retail for eight years and paying attention to profit margins and such, trust me when I say I know what I am talking about. I was taught a lot about profit and how to balance things out to get the most profit out of yore sales. And I was damn good and it, since my department always had high sales and good profit.
As for your bank statement. Funny, but I never said anything about banks in this whole post, good or bad. I was talking about gas companies. Gas is a product which affects the economy across the board and if it goes up prices everywhere go up , since as is a disposable commodity and you have to buy more at some point. Just about everyone busy gas in some form. Banks on the other hand do e their business go down drastically when they raise the rates, because less people go after loans at that point. If you get a good loan at a low rate, you stay with that loan. Bank loans are not really disposable and you are not going to need one regularly. So you are basically comparing apples and oranges here anyway.
But that is standard for you. Do worry about that facts or the logic to it all. Instead of trying to discredit me in this childish fashion, why don’t you try something new and prove me wrong by showing where I made mistakes in my logic and reasoning. Cause you want to know something? I bet anything that my ideas of business would out do your in a instant. I have the knowledge and the experience to know what I am talking about. Once I get my business up and going it will be going strong and it will be profitable. And it will be done my way.

You are living in an illusion, not in reality.
Once your world falls apart because you refused to listen to reason and see how things really are, you are going to be in big trouble.
Find for me one area in this post that you can disprove and provide logic and or facts to back up what you say.

Have you ever had an economics class or run your own business....I don't think so and you wouldn't admits it anyway......
What is an average retail store margin? How about the average grocery store? A Jewelry store?
Enlighten us and demonstrate your economic prowess........
How about telling the banks to lower their profit margins since they are 3 times greater than the oil companies.

The economy is doing fine! How about the housing news today?
You say the economy needs help, but I don't see that. Your personal economy might need help as everyone would say, but all the numbers that show how our economy is doing point in the right direction. You will tell me I am nuts and such, but you are the one ignoring how well things are going. If my oil company stock profited like my bank I'd be able to retire in about a year, but not one peep from anyone about that. They are the ones raping everyone.

Nice Essay...
I do think you've got it right here. I'm here in California and the gas prices are obscene - more so because there is no reason other than greed for those prices!
