PROFITS KEEP JOBS
yeah someone is full of bs.
if your not making a profit jobs are lost.
Socialists have a hard time with the whole concept of Capitalism.
Instead of prosperity i think they prefer fair shared sacrifice and a long unending recession.
----------------------------
That sounds like Cuba!

Corporatists have a hard time distinguishing between good business and fraud
Your corporatist friends started this recession with systemic fraud... Sounds like 2008
no they are better with money that you are.
half this country not working and not paying taxes and getting paid by taxes is corruption .
47 million american with their hands out and not producing anything is corruption at is height.
and the bad guys are the lazy bums not the people who pay and make things for everyone else and who finances those lazy bums.
yeah smoke ass whatever and so much for civility.

Surely, this will bring us as many jobs as we can ever handle.
I think we can all agree that raising taxes during a recession is a stupid idea.

There have never been greater profits in the history of humanity, tell us why it has yet to work or bring us as many jobs as we can ever handle???

If they pid no taxes and it still doesn't work, we could start sending them an extra million direct from the treasury. Surely that will help them create some jobs !!
Pulling money out of the economy and handing it over to the U.S. Government will make the recession worse.
Oh they are??? Since the wealthy have been buying off politicians for years...that seems to contradict the 14 trillion dollar deficit that everyone solely blames on Obama.
Half of the people in this country, many who lost their jobs, homes, and their way of life are CORRUPT because they are unemployed or needing help to put food on the table????
Good, and why don't you go out and tell all 47 million of those people exactly how you feel about them hero.
We must all be lazy in this country since WE DON'T MAKE ANYTHING HERE ANYMORE. Yeah, government has had to pick up the slack for the DESTRUCTION OF WAGES AND JOBS.....ironically because of free trade and lack of enforcement from anti-trust laws....both caused by the government. You attack the wrong people...you are attacking the victims and IT IS WRONG.
Oh I'm sorry....I forgot you practice excellent civility here....calling the unemployed lazy bums and corrupt. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE PAL???

Some good news! It's about time! Good move, Obama. I've been waiting for him to do this.
Now... let's talk about discontinuing Bush's Patriot Act.
Great posts, David.

It hasn't worked because the rich are still paying taxes. I thought you had noticed as much.

Tax increases on the super rich worked great in the nineties, and even higher taxes on the super rich worked even better in the fifties, and sixties.
Eliminating the Bush era tax cuts doesn't go far enough. We should raise taxes on the super rich at least back to where they were in the mid nineties, but the tax rates of the fifties would be even better.
Then the fed should invest tons of money in infrastructure rebuilding, like they did in the fifties.
Free market economics is just another form of communism.
Time to return to market economics, and tax the super rich at a reasonable rate in relation to the enourmous amount of service they get from the fed gov.

Eurisko...how about we eliminate minimum wage.
The poor are making too much money...the lazy bums!!!!!! They must be low lifes right Eurisko???? They are the scum of the earth right buddy???
Anyway, we eliminate minimum wage...this will surely create MORE JOBS RIGHT???? More profits will bring out more jobs!!!
We'll all be eating toaster shavings...but we'll have jobs...right Eurisko!!!!
Instead of hiding behind victims, i think it would be a great idea to remove the socialist in the White House and replace him with a capitalist and just watch the unemployment rate fall to 5%
