when american auto makers start making a quality product like the japs(VEHICLES NOT SHIRTS), then you might see your business get better

when we pull our heads out of our rich asses and start living within our means, life will get better.

You cannot sustain an economy based on money-maximization. You have to run it on resource-maximization or else this happens.

If your credit score is low then it's likely because you did something stupid. You either bought something you couldn't afford, got lazy and didn't make payments on time, or didn't bother to build credit at all. It's easy as hell to build credit.

My credit score rules. It's 720ish, and I only have two accounts on my credit: mortgage and car. I've never made a payment late, though.. ever.

Also, central Texas isn't seeing the recession/depression as hard because Austin is so F*CKING bad ass.

tl;dr be a man and get a real job rather than bitching and blaming banks for your financial problems

Remembering the Black Panthers
An example of revolutionary defiance and militancy
By Carlos ‘Carlito’ Rovira

The Panthers’ action at the California Statehouse in 1967 launched them onto the national spotlight.

Forty years ago, in October 1966, the Black Panther Party was born. This was one of the highlights in the history of the U.S. revolutionary movement, and the Black liberation struggle in particular.


http://www.socialistaction.org/black.htm

Black Liberation & Socialism

Racism is a major pillar that props up American capitalism. Workers are divided against themselves along the lines of race so deeply, that there can be no successful socialist revolution in the U.S. unless it's a “combined revolution” that supports the right of African-Americans to self-determination. That is why we defend Black nationalism, and support the right of all oppressed nationalities in general to form their own autonomous movements and formulate their own demands.

We’ve set up this page to post materials on this very important question, as well as reports on the anti-racist and national liberation struggles within the borders of the U.S. We welcome your feedback.

http://www.resistancebooks.com/catalog/ ... cts_id=678

A sharp and insightful analysis of historic movements against racism in the United States—from the separatism of Marcus Garvey, to the militancy of Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party, to the eloquence of Martin Luther King, Jr., and much more—with essential lessons for today’s struggles. In the 40 years since the civil rights movement, many gains have been made—but there is still far to go to win genuine change. Here is a badly needed primer on the history and future of struggle against racism.

“Black Liberation and Socialism is a brilliant examination of the intersection of race and class in the United States. Shawki's rich historical analyses come with powerful theoretical insights into the relationship between anti-racist struggles and the fight for a liberated future for all. This book is essential reading for students of African American history and for activists involved in the struggle against racism today.”
--Nagesh Rao, assistant professor, Post-colonial Studies, College of New Jersey

“The civil rights and black power movements of the late 1950s and 1960s had a profound effect on American society. The mass mobilisations to end segregation in the South helped break the stranglehold of McCarthyism and conservatism that dominated US politics. The black power movement of the late 1960s represented a further radicalisation of the movement involving thousands of activists, black and white, in political activity. Decades later the situation is completely different. There has been a steady erosion of the gains blacks won in the 1960s. The vast majority of African Americans are poverty stricken and many are the victims of brutal racist violence.”


Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes,it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers,’ he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.’ Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.

But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100%savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,’ but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I got’

‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works!!

The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
