From the creator of this video:

My Book: As I See It: Class Warfare The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom
Book's Webpage: http://books.egbertowillies.com - Twitter: http://twitter.com/egbertowillies
-----
1. America is failing because we've lost our principles of a strong work ethic of producing products and real services. Instead we created the wealthiest class that make money from creating financial instruments that produce nothing.

2. We did not tax and spend to get us out of the great recession. The stimulus reduced taxes on 95%, left it the same on the rest, help the massively unemployed, and invested in infrastructure and investments in areas abandoned for too long. The stimulus was too small. It should have been on the order of stimulus created by WWII.

3. Changes to healthcare brought honesty. Everyone in US gets healthcare. Without reform the responsible pay for the poor and irresponsible through taxes and high insurance rates. Reform makes the irresponsible pay and the poor gets honorable care before illness gets out of hand and more costly.

4. Government bailed out very few industries to keep manufacturing and jobs in the US as well as financial system to prevent catastrophe and will make a profit on the deal as it returns to private hands.

11. That's a good point. A little mixing might get rid of the excessive overtones.
I was wearing earphones, and it caused my head to hurt. I had to move my earphones away from my ears.

But you can keep wishing.

You are probably right, of course.

8. It would be a major waste of time and effort .God knows I've tried.
You can NEVER get a right wing teabggin ass-hat to listen to anything that contradicts what they've been spoon fed by talk radio and F**ked News.Believe me I have tried for years and I'm just too old and to tired to do it anymore. You can not confuse a conservative with anything as trivial as numbers, facts, or the truth. It gets in the way of what these morons have been told they believe.. They don't have a mind of their own and it's already made up, reality and truth be damned. You can beat these ass clowns over the head with facts 24/7 and you will only be left tired and frustrated by trying to force a square peg(truth and reality) into a round hole(their brains).
I'm surrounded by these idiots here in GOP hell, Indiana including most of my family who will not speak to us and have disowned me. I'm packing up my family moving to Vancouver in July, the day after I retire. My wife is taking a job at and my oldest daughter will be attending Simon Fraser University. I can't wait to get out of this God forsaken place. People call these folks low information voters. I've never liked that term. A more accurate description is they are f**king morons. Willfully, and blissfully ignorant rubes, totally insulated from reality.

14. I envy you your ability to escape and I empathize with your anger.
In fact before seeing your response I was seething over the idiocy of many americans in general, so easily are they persuaded to abandon their so-called "values" and follow the likes of the shrub into a hell of torture, murder, cover-ups and a laughably naive Good vs. Evil mentality, all the while waving their fucking flags and condemning anybody who isn't walking in darkness right along with them. Here in Maine, "The way life should be" :sarcasm: we are facing the almost certain election of a sociopathic, lying teabagger into the office of state governor and the folks who proudly display signs supporting him fulfill every stereotype of the american redneck. The worst thing about living in the U.S. these past ten years is the realization that I am angry and disgusted enough to be moved to feel something akin to hate for my political opposition. I'm not a hateful person, or I wasn't, but the bush doctrine has had the effect of legitimizing and even championing stupidity and violence, and I'm feeling the effects.

Good luck on your move. Simon Fraser is a good school and the whole province is just beautiful. Damn, I envy you - but I already said that.
