I correctly characterized your question as a presumption, Babs. and though you might wish to quibble about my statement that [virtually - you left that out of your attribution] ALL the experts are in agreement, my statement in that regard is essentially correct.

And, second, I want to take issue with you that the profit-seeking corporations are what keeps this country running. I am an investor, and keep ALL of my financial assets in stocks. But I also understand that this country of ours needs a strong and unifying government to look out for ALL of our interests, and not just those of the filthy rich.

Finally - if you don't like my cruel and unkind sarcasm, you might want to figure out why I am so angry about people of your persuasion. The vast majority of American citizens are being completely fucked by the right-wing crap that you are spewing.
