Evil corporations sit on $trillions while millions remain unemployed!

[whitehall]

Jeebus the BS you hater dupes believe. EFFECTIVE corporate tax rate is 12%. But thamks for the depression and mindless obstruction and fear mongering...

The poverty rate in the greatest Country in the world is higher than most middle classes in Europe. France is the only country in the world where workers live in poverty but they think they are rich.

Business tends to sit on cash when things are uncertain the Obama administration has increased rules and regulations on businesses in a major way there is big time uncertainty with the implementation of Obamacare which has increased with the employer mandate being pushed back a year. Now while the employer mandate will not effect huge corporations it does play into the overall uncertainty that is going on in the business community.

There are no more rules and regulations now, than there was during the Clinton Administration when we had 8 record years of growth.

Actually, if corporate America is sitting on money that they could invest or spend wisely to make money and create jobs then others would see the opportunity too and make the money themselves. This is the exact nature of capitalism.

The reality, however, is that globalization and Obama's idiotic anti-business liberal policies have left far fewer domestic opportunities for American corporations.

Obama's biggest liberal socialist blunder is, of course, Obamacare.

Corporations will not spend money in areas where there is no demand. That is the nature of capitalism. And they are sitting on over $6 trillion dollars in profits, but are not re-investing because there is no demand. And the reason there is no demand, is because the middle class doesn't have any money to spend. And the reason the middle class doesn't have any money to spend, is because the top 1% has rigged the system to where the middle class pays a higher tax rate than they do.

You mean, the government bureaucrats in the 1% rigged the system.

Last I checked, the only ones allowed to change anything in the system is the government.

So, evil corporations? Did you really type that? Are you just plain stupid? Let me ask, would you think of setting up a corporation in America today when having full knowledge every liberal blood sucker has you in their sights? Do you think its prudent to employ people when you don't need additional employees just for the heck of it? I guess that sums up your business acumen?

 

[francoHFW]

Fannie and Freddie lost 1/4 as much as Bush's cronies, F+F's share of the market went from 75-80% to 20-25% in 2003 when Bush's regulators let their banks run wild. You're brainwashed functional morons...

This is why we need to focus on indivual income of people making more then 500k per year. NOT THE CORPERATIONS. As the corporations are 1. the job makers, 2. innovators of our society. We don't want to limit their ability to grow and hire more workers.

We do want to go after that rich mother fucker that takes home tens of millions of dollars off the backs of the workers. Most money remaining within the corperation that doesn't go to these pigs=going to the workers + r@d.

 

[Mr. H.]

Any speculation on the upswing in the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index, say... in the last 5 years?

What planet do you live on? France has an $11 min wage, a 6 week vacation after a year of work, the #1 health system and quality of life, free day care, and we have the worst rich/poor gap and upward mobility in the modern world, after 30 years of Reaganism, shyttehead. See sig. Pubs suq, and you're an idiot hater dupe LOL!

Meanwhile, Obamacare prevents any hiring, because insurance premiums are set to double....

 

[bucs90]

Here is what a BUSINESS is all about:

1- Profit above all else. Take more from the customers than it gives back to them
2- Dictatorship. There is ONE person in charge. One. The CEO. The manager. There is no checks and balances. There is a clear dictator.

And we hear RW'ers say "run government like a business".

Meaning....take more from the taxpayers in taxes than the govt gives back in services. "Profit", right?
And, trim government down and consolidate it.......to the point that it has the same power, but concentrated into a handful of people elected into the "smaller government". Meaning....a shit load of power in the hands of a few.

Thats what RW'ers want.

1.A business can only be in business if it makes a profit. A profit allows them to expand and hire more workers.
2. Sometimes that is so...Sometimes not as there could be a board.
3. Businesses have the benefit of 1. needing to stay within budget and 2. understanding the subject that they're dealing with. Government isn't good at either as we can see in Cuba, North Korea or the former USSR under Stalin. This is why Obama gives profit corps like space-x or boeing to get the job done...Government spends a whole lot of money stupidly.

4. I think the government should give back in services like infrastructure, science programs like nasa, noaa and r@d. Most of these are partly private

5. No I don't want a dictatorship. I want just the opposite.

Fund science, tech and infrastructure

The goal should be for corporation to innovate and grow jobs, but also for the government to invest into infrastructure + R @ D. Anyone that wants a pure capitalist or socialist system doesn't know what they're talking about.

I think going after personal wealth=ok
Going after corporation=bad

As corporations use that money to hire people and expand. Maybe the democrats aren't totally wrong with raising taxes on people making more then 500k per year??? It isn't so good to expect people making less then 30k per year as we generally want them to increase their wealth to go from the lower to middle classes.

Don't corporations use the same services that we do?

They more effiencially as "ports"/methods for the government and private means to do things without the failures of the communist system of the past. They may use the societies resources , but they're the ones putting it to good use bettering our lives...

It isn't just about the tax rate. Actually the whole tax thing is a side show to the actual problem, which is the simple fact that companies are not paying their employees enough. Productivity in the US has increased dramatically over the past 30 to 40 years, but the only ones to benefit from it financially are the very wealthy. Lack of demand is the biggest problem. Despite everything happening currently, demand is going to increase little by little. Once the ball gets rolling, we are going to see a snowball effect. Most of these companies want to see growth and would love to expand. Once they see things starting to move, they will react by starting the expansion. The biggest problem we will then face will be inflation.

We've seen your interpretation of subsidies.

Don't you have some money to go spend?

 

[Politico]

Good for them. Glad to hear they're doing well.

If "evil" corporations won't employ us, perhaps we should just employ ourselves.

 

[nitroz]

I'm still waiting to hear liberals tell me exactly what the working class is supposed to do to make a living after they teach those evil corporations a lesson.

Work. Because they are the working class.
But we need decent wages, you know. Something that will let me pay rent, bills, transportation, clothing, etc. (while having some money left over to be put into savings and for a bit of fun)

I would have no problem working 40 hours a week if I got a wage that could cover this.
But my employer keeps me part time because of their budget. :/

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Basically, the got to do exactly what they wanted during the Bush administration, and got major tax cuts to boot. What happened? The entire financial system collapsed and tax payers footed the bill after corporations fleeced them.

So, Obama comes in and proposes fixing things. He gets stopped in 2010 and his only option to stimulate the economy? Quantitative Easing. Which means dumping liquidity into the market, hoping, as I guess Bush did, that rich corporations would eventually stop sitting on the cash and start investing.

So far? Not so good.

Oh they are happy for the cash..alrighty.

So Obamacare and the Failed Stimulus never passed?

Really?
