Idiot Dem Excited About People Working Less Hours

[thereisnospoon]

What about record corporate profits not trickling down? Doesn't trickle-down economics involve wealth trickling down? How are trillions of dollars in cash sitting in offshore bank accounts "trickling down"? Don't those trillions of dollars have to be spent in order to "trickle down"?

Why doesn't trickle-down economics work?

What record profits?
Profit allows companies to retain workers and hire more workers..
Trickle down.
Thanks. Next.

When do record corporate profits begin to trickle down? Just answer the question.

If you were ever educated, Corporations get smacked with Double Taxation.
Corporations have corporate responsibilities.
If you work hard then you can make your way up the ladder in a corporation.

Profit is a bad thing?? Where did you get your education from?? All companies want to make a profit silly goose.. That is part of being in Business..

You have to save money for investing in new product lines, new investments, bad economic times, etc. But liberals tell them, SPREAD THE WEALTH

Who said that profits are bad? Greed is bad. Greed is when corporate profits are higher than ever and millions of full-time employees are standing in line at the food bank because their wages are shit.

You're saying that billionaires who have made 95% of the economic gains during the recovery since 2009 are saving their combined TRILLIONS of dollars in case of "bad economic times"? Didn't we just get out of bad economic times? That's when they made 95% of the financial gains. So when do they start spending all of those record profits and raise the standard of living for their employees?

Greed is NOT bad, darlin. You've been watching too many Wall Street movies. The only human beings that don't exhibit greed are Buddhist Monks that live way up in the Nepalese Mountain peaks. And even they exhibit self-interest from time to time. At least the Dali Lama does every once in a blue moon.

Greed is bad, "darlin". The GOP Christian God said so in the Bible.

Or do Conservative Republicans think that the Bible is wrong?

 

[History]

Greed exists with liberals, Greed of passing laws that take away American rights, constantly wanting more and more government control. Spying on Americans and Taxing Americans to death. Yes, this is considered Greed..

What resembles trickle down to you?
Employees all with new cars every year?
Free stuff?

Which of your rights have been taken away?

Bush signed the PATRIOT Act so stop blaming Liberals for government spying. Liberals elected Obama to change Bush's unconstitutional policies but he didn't. We had to vote for Obama again because the alternative was a XXXX Mormon.

How about just start with a living wage that's adjusted with inflation? How is that "free stuff"?

It's not envy to wonder why trickle down theory isn't working the way we are constantly told that it is supposed to work.

Billionaires are hoarding TRILLIONS in cash. Just cash. That money is not being spent so it is not trickling down. Isn't the entire point of "trickle down" Reaganomics that when the super-rich do better then everyone does better because the super-rich 1% job creators will have more disposable income to expand businesses, raise wages, provide better benefits, and contribute more to society?

Isn't that the entire point of supply-side trickle down theory? But now it's "envy" to wonder why record corporate profits aren't trickling down?

Freedom in economics does not mean equalized outcome..

Idiot trolls are a broken record

Who said anything about "equalized outcome"? CEOs will still be making 100:1 what their employees make. That's not "equalized outcome". Far from it. It simply means that billionaires spend their trillions of dollars on higher wages and better benefits for the employees who make the products that make businesses successful.

How do you Republicans keep saying that trickle-down economics works when there are record corporate profits coupled with high unemployment? Where the fuck are all of the jobs that these super-wealthy "job creators" are supposed to be creating?

It is YOUR argument there Skinner...based upon wealth envy...again? Is it your money? Do you know anything of how businesses operate and the theory behind it? Do you loath capitalism, free markets that much? WHY are YOU jealous of what someone else makes? You want those kind of bucks? Work...and HARD. It isn't YOUR money sport.

Tell me? Are you a Union thug?

trickle down

Commerce IS trickle down. More jobs lead to more people paying for more services and more things. Then you need more people to make THOSE things and provide those services. Then THOSE people go and buy other services and products. With all due respect, this isn't a difficult concept.

Quick question................................how can it be possible for it to "trickle down" if those who it is supposed to trickle down to don't have the money to buy the trickle down?

Sorry, but Wall-Mart, as well as many other businesses don't trickle down, they just serve themselves by feeding at the trough and gaining as much as they can.

I mean fuck...................in Japan they have a fair system, which means that the CEO's can only earn 100 times of what the lowest paid worker can.

Here in American (and in Wal-Mart), they can earn up to 1,000 times what their lowest paid worker (meaning the greeters and the janitors) make.

If it's really "trickle down", why do the rich get richer, and the middle class get poorer?

Check the stats, it's well documented in many places.

Obamacare is raising rates and raising unemployment numbers. Time for some Dems to celebrate. This woman thinks it's great that people's hours were cut. Now they can enjoy subsidized lives, thanks to the ones who still have their full time jobs. Yup, the middle class people who still work 40 hours a week can pony up more money to cover everyone else. It's not the wealthy who take a hit, it's those of us who live paycheck to paycheck who foot the bill, not that liberals care. We get to pay more for health insurance, bigger deductibles and higher taxes. I'm waiting for liberals to tell us the good points about that.

Why Is This Excited Democrat Talking About How Awesome It Is That ObamaCare Cuts Hours? | Independent Journal Review

when people can choose to be home more to raise their kids its a good thing.


why do you hate workers being able to afford not working overtime if they don't need the money?

KNB, if it's ok with you, I'm not into chasing squirrels around the back yard; I kinda like to stay on topic. I'm talking about human nature. People do what's in their self-interest. That's natural. When you start trying to judge greed, where do you or anyone draw the line. Is having 2 cars in a family greed? Three cars? Is having 2 suits greedy? Maybe 3 is the line. Maybe it's 4 or 10. How about more than one house? Who decides?

As long as it's legal, people can do whatever they want. Understanding economics means understanding how human nature actually works.....especially how that human nature drives a nation toward a growing economy.

ABikerSailor, I promise I'll get back to ya. Turning into a pumpkin in three minutes.

But in the meantime, just consider that under the most liberal President we've had in a long time, income inequality is no better.

Some things are just a fact of life. Like Kate Upton being paid a lot more for her curves than I would be paid.

That would almost be a rational argument if it had anything to do with real-world economics.

We're not talking about a family having two or three cars. We're talking about the richest 85 people on Earth having as much money as the poorest half of the world's population. We're talking about the 1% making 95% of the financial gains since 2009 while 49 million Americans have difficulty affording food each week. We're talking about record corporate profits not being shared with the employees or communities that those corporations made so much money off of. Do you see the difference? "One family having two cars" is nowhere near the same level of greed as billionaires hoarding trillions of dollars in cash instead of reinvesting it in their employees and communities.

Since you're obviously an economist, please explain the rationale behind "trickle down" theory when the super-rich have $32 trillion in offshore tax shelters. That's $32 trillion that isn't "trickling down". So why would any economist try to argue in favor of unchecked, deregulated corporate greed?

Obama campaigned on getting rid of the Patriot Act didn't he? That's one of the reasons YOU voted for him. Instead he resigned the Patriot Act in a foreign country--and faxed it back to Washington D.C.

First of all, morons, I don't admire the government. The government doesn't work for the People. It works for corporations. Regardless of what talking monkeys in red states believe, corporations are not people, my friend.

As for me being a "parasite", my only suggestion to that is "GO FIGHT YOUR OWN WARS, YOU FUCKING PUSSIES!" I am a US Army veteran who swore an oath to defend your Constitutional rights because you are fucking cowards who can't do it yourselves, even while the scumbags that you elect couldn't give a shit less about the US Constitution. My disability pension from the military amounts to about $.00003 per person. That's how much that I "mooch" off of each of you, so thank you for your generous contribution to someone who served you, you worthless selfish *****.

Fucking retard, if someone says "Bush was a piece of shit" then that doesn't mean "I love Obama."

I didn't vote for him. All I said is that liberals who were disgusted with his first term had to reelect him because the alternative was a psycho rich fuck who wears magic underwear and thinks that Jesus walked across the Atlantic to preach to Native Americans.

Corporations are Indeed people..

Basically what you are really meaning to say is "Business is Evil"

Of course corporations are people. What else would they be? Buildings don't hire people. Buildings don't design cars that run on electricity or discover DNA-based drug therapies that target cancer cells in ways our parents could never imagine.

Buildings don't show up at a customer's factory and say, "We won't leave until we solve your inventory problem." Buildings don't encourage their employees to mentor inner-city kids in math and science. Buildings don't fund homeless shelters in Boston or health clinics in Rwanda. People do.

Corporations are people working together toward a shared goal, just as hospitals, schools, farms, restaurants, ballparks and museums are. Yes, the people who invest in, manage and work for corporations are there to make a profit. And yes, corporations may employ some bureaucrats, jerks, cheapskates and even nefarious criminals.

But most individuals working in corporations are regular people, people just like you and your friends and neighbors. People who want to make a living and want to make a difference.
