All your Marxist rhetoric adds up to nothing. If you care about your job and work at it, success and money in this country are as easy as falling off a log.
You got yours, right Rockefeller?
"'Après moi le déluge! is the watchword of every capitalist and of every capitalist nation. Hence Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the labourer, unless under compulsion from society,' wrote Karl Marx in Capital (Vol. 1, Part III, Chapter Ten, Section 5). What Marx said in the late nineteenth century still holds true today."
Critical Montages Apr s moi le d luge

Yes, comrade, I got mine. I also have a lot of people who work for me at the company I own and they get theirs too. Hard work is rewarded. I've also shit canned a bunch of losers who aren't getting theirs. See the common denominator in that? Why does the word Marxist bother you so much again, Karl?
Now see, in the ,mind of the socialist progressive, you took away those people's jobs. You expected far too much and of course did not pay them enough. Even though they were not filling the needs of your business, you should have let them keep "their jobs."
Therefore, you are greedy rich son of bitch who only cares about becoming more wealthy and are exploiting your employees.

Most people are stupid so who cares what most people believe?

Why don't the Hard Right just say that when campaigning... It would make voting so much easier...
Your side said it first..Look what happened...
The media and White House media staff quickly acted to circle the wagons around Obama.
 
See if you can spot a trend:

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Have more wealth than half the population of the United States.


Hey Mr. Reagan, when exactly is this trickle down thing going to kick in?

Hey Mr. Bush, since the "job creators" still have the Tax Cut you gave them in 2002 and 2004, why aren't they, you know, creating more jobs?


Obama extended those "Bush tax cuts". Dems had all the power to change whatever they wanted, and yet here you are complaining about the way things are and blamming only Republicans.

Its funny how on some threads you Obama lovers thump your chest about how good the economy is, yet you make threads like this blamming Republicans for today's economic problems. So which is it? Is the economy a train wreck after 6 years of Obama? Is that what you are saying?

Kinda hard to do it with all the regs obutthurt has put on small businesses.
Erm, so the 400 wealthiest Americans can't create more jobs because Obama extended their tax cuts? Well, then, let's cut out that tax break altogether and see if they can create more jobs that way.
OK so instead of having onerous regulations and some kind of tax relief we'll have onerous regulations AND confiscatory taxes. Brilliant!
You understand the Bush tax cuts expired, right? And growth still sucks and the middle class still has stagnating income. Why would you want to replicate failure?

3.9% GDP is not bad. Better than at just about any time during the Bush administration.
Wait just a minute....You people are bitching and moaning about the wealthy being too wealthy. Now you've come up for air and now you're playing the "Obama the greatest job creator in history" card.
Which is it?

The Buffet family is one of the wealthiest families in the country, and yet they can't pay their people a living wage. You tell me why that is.

Figures don't lie, but liars figure.

You have built a strawman that does not accurately portray reality.

Have a nice day in Fantasyland.

Sure - if you can tell me what a 'living wage' is, I'll be happy to tell you all about it.

A living wage is the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet their needs that are considered to be basic. This is not necessarily the same as subsistence, which refers to a biological minimum, though the two terms are commonly confused. These needs include shelter (housing) and other incidentals such as clothing, nutrition, transportation, and medical needs. Now, tell me why the richest family in America cannot pay their employees a living wage.
 
Government redistributed? How so? BY what means was this redistribution accomplished?
By the means of bribing politicians of both parties for favorable tax and trade policies. Do you imagine the richest 0.1% of Americans amassed 36% of all gains in income between 1979-2007 because of their educational CHOICES or because they bribed politicians to ensure they would receive an ever increasing share of national income going to capital income rather than labor income.
 
Wait just a minute....You people are bitching and moaning about the wealthy being too wealthy. Now you've come up for air and now you're playing the "Obama the greatest job creator in hShytty Reaganist pistory" card.
Which is it?
Shytty Reaganist policy jobs, functional moron chump of the greedy idiot rich GOP..How bout some INVESTMENT in Americans, cheaper college /training loans, infrastructure jobs, dingbat dupes?

Yes, we are dupes. We were conned into believing we can do it on our own while you being the aware, motivated achiever that you are realized you can't and need government to do it for you. LOL. What a tool.

So do you have an Obama job where you get a lower wage and your hours were cut ?

I would also be interested in hearing why the rw Horse & Sparrow..... errr.....Trickle Down theory hasn't worked.
Since you cant define it how do you know it didnt work?

Who is the Buffet family? Are they the people who own all those buffets? Of course they dont pay much. How much skill does it take to manage a buffet? Hell, you dont even need waiters.
