America is a country divided

Santorum just proved that and not in a good way, the North and South are still at war.

The difference? This time the poor whites in the North vs the rich fats cats in the South.

Amazing how times have changed.

The North has it's fair share of rich. It has more to do with conservative religion and intolerance. Check out the Bible Belt. Check out where executions take place...Check where poverty resides.

If you overlayed maps that designate those three, they're very close to the same... .

I agree that its the relentless struggle tween the Puritans and Cavaliers.

Democrats and liberals have spent careers doing their best to divide the nation, their goal is to set consumers of wealth against the producers.

Did you know the Walton family of Arkansas Have More Wealth Than the Bottom 30% of Americans?

That's a lot of cash, almost 100 Billion.

No. Look at this "Red and Blue" map broken down by county (presidential election voting, 2008), and shaded from red to purple to blue. Note that the divide is not North-vs.-South, East-vs.-West, or Coasts-vs.-Flyover, the divide is, everywhere, City(Blue)-vs.-Countryside(Red).

And when it comes down to City vs. Countryside, in the long run, the countryside always loses and always deserves to lose.

Poor vetty longs for the days of "White Father Knows Best". He yearns for "Leave it to Beaver", forgetting that the show never really depicted reality in the first place.

it's never a person's convictions that bother me, it's the belief that opposing opinions are poisonous.

"It's not my side's fault the nation is so divided, it's the other side's fault. I hate those guys."

N.B.: A CEO or a stockbroker is no "producer." The Mexican immigrant who picked your breakfast orange is a producer.

All people are consumers, of course.

Why "white" father knows best? Do you consider hanging out on a pornographic adult site reality?

Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've read all week.

Did Steve Jobs not "produce" ideas for Apple that turned into products that got "consumed"?

Not in the sense that "production" is talked about in economic terms, no.

That's not to say people like Jobs are not valueable. Innovators and entrepreneurs are just as nessecary. But the producers of Apple products are the people at Foxconn in Shenzhen. You know, the ones hurling themselves off rooftops.

However in most cases that production wouldn't exist without a CEO or similar person.
Henry Ford did not personally make the cars but without him production would not be what it is.

You are too quick for my edit skillz. See above.

Agreed. Nevertheless, if we're talking about a politics of "producers vs. consumers," someone like Ford does not show in the "producers" column. (Everybody shows in the "consumers" column.)

What Combat really wants is a return to property qualifications for voting.

What this means is that the Republican primary is not over yet. I expect Romney to win, but he will be badly bruised, and his Republican opponents will have found vulnerabilities Obama will exploit in the general election.

Gawd forbid they profit from pleasing the consumer...

That's idiocy. Without Capital you have no productivity gains and we're back to sunup to sundown and sustenance living.

Think North Korea, Cuba, Somalia, full of demand and consumers and nary a stockbroker or CEO...

It is popular today to blame capitalism for everything that displeases. Indeed, who is still aware of what he would have to forego if there were no "capitalism?" When great dreams do not come true, capitalism is charged immediately. This may be a proper procedure for party politics, but in Scientific discussion, it should be avoided.
