Yet another point lost to contrived outrage and intentional distractions?

So, I know I usually limit my posts to once a week, just because it keeps me from saying some things that could get me black bagged under the new definitions of terrorism (ie, having an opinion someone finds distasteful) but I can't help myself. Why not? Keep reading.

So the median salary of the US citizen is $26, 639 now. How can this be? How can the median salary have dropped $10,000+ since 2008? Didn't the Bush/ Obama TARP funds to and the tax cuts/ breaks for the uber wealthy mean Americans would not be mostly living at poverty level? Now that gas is likely going to hit 5 bucks a gallon (before the hero Obama inevitably steps in, and saves us from it going higher, at which point it will "only" be 3-4 bucks a gallon- until the next artificial inflation for gouging occurs) and 80% of Americans are already living at/ below/ near poverty wage levels, who's going to pay for this multi-trillion dollar burden on the tax payer?

Now, given that since this number has come out we have had every single possible attempt to "wag the dog" thrown at us by the propaganda machine known as the news media, when will Americans finally wise up to the fact that the whole damn table has been rigged, and the only way to restore Constitutional fairness and economic prosperity is to blow up the system in place?

 If economics, as taught in college and universities, is so darn good, how is it the recognized experts of the field are the same people who have thoroughly destroyed the world's economy? The only possible answers are that a) the field of economics is very nearly a complete and total load of male bovine manure, or b) these men destroyed our economy on purpose. The other answers I can think of in a rather short thinking session all boil down to these two possibilities- ineptitude means the field is BS, and shortsightedness/ self serving means this was done intentionally. Please, please start talking about how government regulations are killing our corporations- the barriers the government have installed are fatal to only small business start ups, and serve to kill job growth potential for Americans by protecting mega corporations from the competition of smaller, localized businesses.

Seeing that it is illegal for you to run something as low yielding as a lemonade stand w/o thousands upon thousands of dollars in licensing, permits, and other assorted fees, where does the "free market" come in to play? If it is also a documented federal policy not to enforce certain fair trade laws unless the business in violation is of a certain smaller than mega corporate size- where's the fairness? If the wages of the average American are falling so rapidly, why are the prices not falling in relation? Homes were overpriced to begin with- thus the bubble that popped- so why are they still over priced? Gas is forcing people to work even longer for less pay, and now the Federal government is going to raise their burden even more! Unless, of course, you are one of those wealthy people that we can't raise taxes on. You know, the Carnegie/Spencer acolytes who still think Eugenics is a pretty neat idea?
