Yet they're still getting wealthier. Up 21% in wealth under one of these anti-capitalist presidents.

I will give you that the healthcare bill was a huge burden for some businesses. However, the reason people are failing to invest in expansion is nrabroad
government related. Like any good investor they're concerned about growth and bad investments....the growth concerns aren't largely because of healthcare (though undoubtedly that's part of the problem)....they're because the middle class of America hasn't for a while been a wealthy productive portion of the US. They're falling off the map as jobs are outsourced. They're spending their savings.

In order for the wealthy to invest in expansion they need a class of vibrant consumers with $$$ they can spend on their products. Middle America and below don't have that anymore.

Look out job growth, right?
Good thing the rich and super rich aren't being taxed to death.
 
Outsourcing was a very effective way to get wealth out of the hands of the middle class and into the upper class, through the method Billy described.

Whether or nrabroad
is was good for the country is a different discussion.
 
You keep citing the government as the obstacle to investment in America...yet the wealthy have increased their value over the past year and certainly over the past 10 years. Those regulations and "anti-business" environments haven't hindered them in making money. The tax breaks they were granted haven't lead to a net increase in jobs...even as their wealth increases.

They've made money through a Repub. President and Repub Congress
They've made money through a Repub. President and Dem. Congress
Now they've made money through a Dem. President and Dem. Congress

Your claim is that all these taxes are burdening them. Yet their taxes have been reduced (without enactment of legislation certainly healthcare and cap/trade aren't in effect yet nor were they last year) and job creation was demolished even as they made massive gains.

They're so scared...that they're investing in outsourcing jobs?
So why give them further tax breaks?

The tax breaks they have now are yielding a negative job growth over the past year. Even as they've increased 20% in wealth.
 
All those multi-millionaires and billionaires are small business owners guise come on, can't you see they need moar tax relief.

Just make the tax rate 0% for anyone making over $500k a year so these poor small business owners can create jobs.
 
There are ways for our government to control the situation, but unfortunately our government seems to do what is best for Wall St and large corporations nrabroad
what is good for the majority of it's citizens. Many of our leaders in Washington still think as long as Wall St and our corporations remain strong the rest of the country will remain strong. This recession IMO proves that thinking completely wrong.
 
PresidentS? If I remember right, the DOW was in the 14,000's under the Bush Admin (before congress turned liberal and fucked the housing industry).
 
you need to define things.
When you talk about "the wealthy" you mean the top mega earners and CEOs who grabroad
their bonuses with government prrabroad
ection and their bailouts?

or are you also including the small business owners who are the ones who are hurting the worst?


See you are ignoring this shit and it's getting annoying.
 
I don't know if there is a main problem.

I think the argument over the expiration of the Bush tax cuts is flat out stupid. I think some of the legislation in terms of healthcare will hurt business. I also think some of our foreign policies dealing with free trade for countries that provide subhuman standards of living, non-effective safety measures, and currency which is pegged have crippled US workers.

I think business is concerned with making top dollar, and some people have the impression that working in the interest of business means they'll create jobs in the US. Which is pretty far removed from reality at this point.

I'm nrabroad
against the use of tariffs even if LCD and Plasma tv's go up in price. Businesses pushed this nrabroad
ion that free and open trade would increase our ability to trade with the world, when in reality it has siphoned off the funds of the US middle class to cheap goods produced in sweatshops for people trying to eat
 
oh look, a moron!!

200k is rich according to the government you dumbfuck. So when you and rabroad
hers talk about the "rich" you are including all of those small business owners who are making 200-300k that are spending everything to keep their businesses running.
