"I need some Republicans to explain to me how they juxtapose these scenarios: First, Corporate profits has risen to a fifty-yr all time high, while unemployment remain fairly high. Second, Oil companies are making record profit, while gas prices is at its highest.
Now, my question to the Republicans are: 1. If their arguments and economic philosophy that more corporate profits equals more jobs were true, shouldn't unemployment be at its lowest, considering the record profits corporations are making? 2. Why should Americans continue the tax break for oil companies, when the more profits they make, the higher our gas prices? 3. Aftermath of the above facts, who is the Republicans actually working for, the people or Corporations and the wealthy 1%?"

Well... You bring up a very interesting question. It's almost a paradox at first glance...it really is. I had to think a bit on this and I am conflicted. I think I'm one of the few conservatives I'm aware of that actually admit to having protested in Occupy, and this is straight to the heart of that so it seems a good example of the mental conflict you highlight.
