Lying, cheating, stealing, bluffing, etc, in an obvious yet difficult to defeat manner. Usually everyone is aware of this type of bullshit when it occurs, but cannot stop it due to the fact that people using it usually are in a position of power, ie managers, marketing reps, etc.

One last thing:

An innate characteristic instinct of all living things is to survive. The only way to circumvent that characteristic instinct is through suicide. Something humans are quite adept at doing.

Marten Purdy:

A few questions: how many poor people do you know are hiring these days? When and where on planet earth is socialism (which you are furtively suggesting) working without the aid of confiscatory taxes? Do you know that socialism will inevitably collapse under its own weight when it can no long borrow and tax enough money to save itself from itself?

Survival of the fittest is a basic human instinct. It’s built into our DNA. Discounting the government and financial industry parasites who create nothing but misery for others and profit from it, those who are more fit than others will always earn more and have more than those who are less fit.

The survival instinct is a measure of one’s desire to be productive and create for themselves the circumstances in which their lives are free of wants, needs and desires to the maximum extent possible.

The only searing unanswered question is what do the fit owe those who are unfit and/or can not survive on their own?

In my humble opinion -and a great deal of others as well- those who see fit to get off their asses and work for a living are more than worthy of survival. Those who don’t, can’t or won’t should be gracious and thankful for the tender mercies of the fit.

The Rethuglicans primary concerns are the protection of wealth of the super rich, which have mostly inherited wealth akin to hereditary rule over successive generations. A typical part of their dogma is their indoctrination that all life is based on survival of the fittest, see Social Darwinism and Fascism, and only the fit deserve to exist. And their concept of those fit for the environment are those who have wealth, while all those who are poor are simply supposed to work for works sake in producing more wealth for the wealthy. Anyone who isn’t willing to work for the corporate agenda is a parasite and should be removed from society as an unfit whiner.

Hondo says,
Between these last huge tax increases at all levels of govt, and these assaulting regulators, I can’t see the unemployment rate going down any time soon.
===========
“”HUGE”” tax increases Hondo? If you think the increases are huge then you are really out of your mind. Oh and here are some current articles relating to some of your comments!!! Boy you CHICKEN LITTLES really can’t shake off the negative spin!!

—-Orange County car sales jump 24 percent
New car sales in Orange County accelerated sharply in 2012. Driven largely by an improving economy and low interest rates, new light-vehicle registrations rose nearly 24 percent during the past year, according to an annual report by the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association.
—-O.C. unemployment rate falls to 6.8%
Orange County’s unemployment rate dipped to 6.8 percent last month as the local economy continues its slow recovery. It was the first time in four years, local unemployment has dropped below 7 percent.

How many times do you have to say, “This is insane”. After a while it is like crying wolf, which is what the socialists are hoping.
Between these last huge tax increases at all levels of govt, and these assaulting regulators, I can’t see the unemployment rate going down any time soon. At least not enough to make a difference. The left crowning that the unemployment rate went below 10% to 9.8 is insane. It should be below 7%. Kali’s economy should be growning at 5% at least, not the 1% it has been growing. And the reason is the taxes and regulation and the lawyers.
And that means less revenue for the dems to spend. Why can’t they see that.

Those businesses will be leaving California shortly and it will be one of the best decisions they ever made. Leave California to it’s own devices and madness and let’s see how it fares when those jobs and taxable incomes are gone.

In an abstruse way, it’s rather entertaining to watch California shoot holes in it’s own foot. It’s less painful and more expeditious though if they aimed for the temple.

I thought the legislature created the QSB exclusion, not the FTB. Since when can the FTB refuse a taxpayer the benefit of a law duly passed by the legislature? It would be like the IRS unilaterally deciding that nobody can take a mortgage interest deduction. I can’t image this action withstands appeal.
