Oh well, I guess we need at least one multi board, female SPOTY candidate. You've still got a long ways to go to catch up to JCA and Fungy, but you certainly have the "chops" for SPOTY.

I take it you misplaced your meds AGAIN, right?

And that income inequality is one of the major reasons why our economic recovery has been so weak and slow since the 2008 crash.  

Therefore, if we want stronger economic growth, we do things that will lessen or limit income inequality. Things like raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, raising the minimum wage, and making it easier for workers to join or form a union.

1) Raising taxes on the rich...this helps job creation how?

2) Raising taxes on corporations...this helps job creation how?

3) Raising the minimum wage...this helps job creation how?

4) More unionization...this helps job creation how?

Jesus, Willy, could you be any more anti-business?

Where are your ideas on growth? What plan do you have to help struggling businesses? All your ideas destroy growth and kill motivation to take risk.

You will scare the shit out of ANYBODY even thinking to start a new biz or expand an existing one with this leftist shit.

Instead of raising taxes, take away the loopholes, have meaningful tax reform, means test social security and Medicare, stop with all the regulations that hurt growth, develop a repayment plan as we are quickly going broke, STOP enacting new massive entitlement programs when we cant even pay for the ones we have, etc. START THERE WILLY.  

Knee jerk tax raises only hampers growth and puts a chill down the back of America's entrepreneurial spirit, hurting the poor that libs claim they care so much about.

1) Raising taxes on the rich...this helps job creation how?  

When has lowering taxes helped create jobs. There is absolutely no EMPIRICAL evidence but there are plenty of evident to to the contrary. Raising taxes creating jobs. There are sound economic reasons for that but you wouldn’t understand.
 
2) Raising taxes on corporations...this helps job creation how?  

Same answer as #1.  
 
3) Raising the minimum wage...this helps job creation how?  

Ha, here again, in a consumer driven economy, raising minimum wage to a living wage creates spending in goods and services to meet un met needs (basic economic theory) versus more money in the hands of the rich less spending: their they have no or minimal unmet needs.
 
4) More unionization...this helps job creation how?  

As a business man, if you can only make profits with slavery then you are not fit or smart enough to be business man. Quit pretending to be business man. Success in business require innovation and ingenuity taking, prevailing conditions in to account.  

Why do people call plumbers only as a last resort? Because, they have a built a reputation as charters, over chargers and replace or repair things need not replacing.

Basically, you do not know shit about business but, you certainly memorized BSC’s talking points.

Historically, economic growth occurred in this country under Democrat Presidents, Clinton and now Obama. Hard to swallow, I understand

If only ten percent or less of the public can afford their product how can they possibly sell more product too increase their profits?

Henry Ford was brilliant! He devised a product and a formula where all his workers both wanted and could afford the product he was manufacturing.
Decimating the middle class by outsourcing all the jobs, then expecting the same down-sized, disenfranchised middle class to carry the nations tax burden is the most stupidly short sighted formula ever. But this is what happens when decisions like "Citizens United" allow the plutocracy to OWN any and all who govern.

simply learn a skill. I was once an "unskilled" worker and I slaved at menial jobs UNTIL i developed some skills. Of course I did this when most of us did, as a teenager.

Why should an unskilled worker of any age expect to be paid on a par with someone who brings a skill to the table? If this ever became the case, why would anyone ever want to better themselves?

fascism has been a long term plan, there is no room for a healthy "middle" in crony capitalism where profits are privatized and losses of big business and banks are socialized on our backs.

Henry Ford did not raise wages based on some deep understanding of this theory of consumerism. He did it in order to become more competitive. He was experiencing a high turnover rate, requiring the hiring of high numbers of new replacement employees resulting in higher training costs and reduced quality. By paying a higher wage he was able to retain workers thus reducing those negatives.  

Now, this bit of fact actually goes directly against the idea of raising the minimum wage. In order for this to work for Ford he had to pay a wage that was not just higher but higher than competing employers in the area.

You could fill a newspaper daily with stories about government wastes money. It astounds me people still think we should give DC yet more money. Right, they have been such prudent stewards with our money. That's why we have no deficits or debt.
   The top one percent pays about 40 percent of all federal income tax. Say someone saves $10000 in taxes. Does he put it under the bed? It is likely he will invest it, grow a business or buy things. Maybe he takes a vacation here in Florida. Do the people who work in hotels, restaurants and the tourist industry benefit from his spending? That creates jobs more efficiently than DC bureaucrats.
 The economy is a like a pie. Instead of making a slice smaller and giving it to someone else, grow the pie.

It's only fair since they control 40 percent or more of the nations total wealth.  

Why should a 'wage slave' who needs financing just to buy new tires for his car so he can drive to work be saddled with more tax burden? Especially when the top 1% is hiding their excess Millions in off-shore banks and foreign businesses so as to avoid taxes.

 The 1% hide/shelter their obscene excess while the common man works himself to an early death paying on interest for bank loans just so he and family can merely survive on the commonly accepted "basics" of contemporary American life.

 This is a very unfair, unethical and morally 'sick' economy.

Let's import millions of unskilled, uneducated poor people. Let's let them take jobs in construction, maunfacturing, and services and put the US citizens they supplant on foodstamps, welfare, and 99 weeks of unemployment.

Let's fill our schools with them and dumb down the education standards so even they get a medal. Let's make sure they get a ticket to the universities so we're "diverse".

Oh, we're already doing that? Oh geez, maybe that explains it....duh.

Whatever you do, don't let em listen to old white douchebags on ego trips spewing nonsense about hardwork and commitment

“God created dinosaurs. God destroyed dinosaurs. God created Man. Man destroyed God. Man created dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man..............

Before Ebola, Hezbollah, or whoever or whatever kills us all. LOL
The Pro-Russian separatists, hamas and Isis, All coming to get us.

I got a question about that craziness in Iraq. So they want to kill everybody who is Christian or other religion. If they don't turn to their way of Islam gets killed. So they say on the News. What if they don't have a religion or believe in anything? I guess they get killed too right.  
That's not fair. That's why I don't like religion, always causing problems.
