I'm not familiar with the abbreviation "OWS".Those that don't pull their own weight form groups like OWS .
That is the type of citizen we have created with the nanny state; one who truly believes they deserve to take from others so they don't have to take care of themselves.
Entitlement parasites are only part of the problem. When the economy is good they're no big deal. But unless American workers start considering the concept of sacrifice, and American businesspeople are willing to innovate...we're dead in the water...and no amount of tossing people off welfare and cutting government worker benefits will make any difference. The American economic machine was once described as a sleeping giant in 1940 or so....now it's a very sick patient. It's overweight, malnourished, and has stable angina (for the moment). It needs a sensable diet and an exercize plan. Not for the entitlement folks, as much as for the average tax paying American worker and businesman.
I didn't vote for Obama in 2008, and I'm not sure who I'll vote for in 2012....but I cannot emphasize enough how very little he is in terms of the problem.
We keep losing sectors and the govt will not allow in any news to be opened, especially the oil sands sector and nuclear energy. Our company just picked up a 500 million dollar expansion project. The project consists of the construction of a new 83,000-barrels-per-day facility that uses the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. SAGD is a commonly used method to recover oil in the oil sands region. The project is located 63 kilometers southeast of Fort McMurray, Alberta.
We have the same here but are not allowed to touch it
