Dear Citizens of the Peoples Republic of Youngstown,

All hail the socialist principles related by madam speaker. Your problems are the result of you not receiving enough of what others have worked for. Don't listen to the Capitalist pigs when they speak of self-reliance and personal responsibility. Jefferson, Madison and Franklin were all wrong!! Instead refer to the enlightened writings of Lenin, Stalin and Clinton.

Yours Truly,

Fellow Democrat/Socialist

I'm sure you think your post is quite witty and profound. It's not. At least Madam Speaker has not started an immoral war, killing millions of innocent people for NOTHING. Nor has she walked all over the constitution. I'll take a socialist any day over a fake cowboy dictator.

Your socialist loving democrats is why the Mahoning Valley is going no where fast. Nancy visits the Youngstown incubator which is essentially a Republican intitive with a Republican Board, employees and tenants and all she can talk about is using more tax money to serve above average income children. The left wing socialists like Pelosi and the blind followers like you are the problem. Bash Bush if you will but he is more respective then the left wing so called leaders of congress.

Just the other day someone ranted on and on to me about how the 'mills closed' and he was so happy we now have a hero and that finally Youngstown has good press. I realized AGAIN how blind (and stupid) people are. Relying on a boxing figure to make the area 'proud'? That incubator has been around for quite some time and seriously great strides have been made for high-tech companies to settle here. THAT is great news for the area. Oddly, many peple are totally unaware of the progress - the person I spoke with has lived here all his life and claims to know everything about the area. This person did not even know that the incubator existed! Talk about clueless! How is it that people are so ignorant about the growth which has taken place and CONTINUES to thrive with Tim Ryan's efforts? Many other areas in the country had the manufacturing bases and when they evaporated, the people found new ways to grow their areas. Sadly, it's easier for people to rant about 'when the unions left' 'when the mills closed' than to get off their butts and change things - or move. Maybe they are just too stupid to be part of the solution. So much easier to sit back and b****. THEIR LOSS! They need to take the time to learn and maybe even to visit the incubator! Knowledge is power. Bravo to Mr. Ryan and thanks to the Speaker for visiting!

Wow, I didn't know that we were killing millions of innocent people! Where did you come up with this number? That is right, out of your ass.

Based on your comment of taking a socialist over a dictator, seems you don't even want a constitution anyway since the dictator has spat all over it and your rights have been taken awa....wait...can you name one right that GW has taken from you?

Nice to have the speaker visit the valley and visit the incubator. I am tired of all the talk of "using the incubator as a model" for anything national.

The incubator is doing well, but it alone is not the savior of the valley. No one can explain why other businesses earning smaller numbers than Turning Tech can move out of the incubator and make it on their own, yet Turning Tech with record sales every year over the past so many years gets to occupy 80% of the new building?

Inc. magazine in August ranked Turning Technologies as the fastest growing privately held software technology company in America. Among all private companies, Turning Technology ranked 18th. Why is this company STILL in the incubator?? They need to move out into a downtown office building, hell, build a new building downtown with all the revenue they are earning, and let other businesses start up in the incubator.

I agree with Doug's last point--isn't it time this business move out on its own?

It's impossible to converse or debate the libs/socialists. Their replies are always packed with libelous hate rhetoric and wild misinformation.

So let's keep it simple. The Mahoning Valley has had 100% local Democratic leadership since Mayor Jack Hunter in the 1970's. Are you happy where that absolute loyalty to the dems has taken you?

It matters not whether businesses in or out of the incubator are doing well. As long as the union mentality has a stranglehold on the Valley we will continue to see declines in every prosperity indicator.

How can we compete in a global economy when we're still arguing over who's job it is to sweep the floor!
