Subject: JIM NORMAN SAYS To: UNSH45A DON BURGE Date: 05/11 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 6:46 PM Thanks for this terrific two part note. Its an excellent analysis of our problems, but the culprit is not socialism. The solution is not socialism either. The evil inflicted on America comes from Wall Street and its partnership with the Federal government. For example, it was not socialism that got us so deeply in debt and got us hooked on credit cards, it was Wall Street. Wall Street agri-business ruined the family farm, not FDR. Always follow the MONEY. And heed the teachings of Jesus. =============== Reply 2 of Note 0 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: JIM NORMAN SAYS To: CNSY75A KAREN KAGAN Date: 05/13 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 10:00 PM We need to move BACK to personal responsibility, common sense, pay as we go, save for the future. What brought us down was our desire to keep up with the Jones, conspicuous consumption, buy now- pay later, the ME decade and instant gratification, all of which go AGAINST the traditional values that built this Nation. This situation makes Wall Street richer, but the Country poorer. Wealth gets re-distributed from the many to the few. Economic infrastructure gets neglected, but Madison Avenue rides high because that is what stimulates Americans to part so easily with our hard earned bucks.
