By 2003, Mr. Bush grasped this lesson. In that year, he cut the dividend and capital gains rates to 15 percent each, and the economy responded. In two years, stocks rose 20 percent. In three years, $15 trillion of new wealth was created. The U.S. economy added 8 million new jobs from mid-2003 to early 2007, and the median household increased its wealth by $20,000 in real terms.

They DO.

Why do Liberals complain then that companies manufacture their products overseas due to the lower wages in those places?

Why do you suppose iPhones are made in China?

LOWER WAGES!!!!
Yep. These lower wages are in America and the biggest reason for the increase of welfare usage. The Waltons earn more in one hour than a Walmart employee makes in one year. The Waltons benefit the most from welfare programs because they ultimately benefit. No concern for America, the poor, or our economy from the extremely wealthy job creators who only hoard money.

How many jobs have the "middle-class" created? ZERO.
Entrepreneurs create jobs.

Obama and the dems have been playing this "welfare card" for 50 yrs and they know exactly what their doing.
I will have to admit it is a perfect plan and it's working!

Comes to mind...."When you feed fish in a fishtank...they all come to the top on command"

Pathetic!

The VAST majority of these people are ineligivle voters for a varitety of reasons. You desperately want to believe that Obama and everyone on his staff... in fact anyone who has ever been Liberal and/or a Democrat is so stupid as to not be able to take care of basic human functions. It would be a mistake to so underestimate 47% of the population.

Over 100 million US residents on welfare



Quote:
one-in-three US residents receive government assistance — and that’s not even including those benefitting from Social Security or Medicare.

Over 100 million people in the United States are now receiving some form of federal welfare, GOP reps claim, a figure they’ve found after combing through statistics collected from the US Census’s Survey of Income and Program Participation. Paired with recent figures out of the Census Bureau, that brings the percentage of people residing in the States receiving some form or another of federal welfare at nearly one-in-three, given that the country’s population is estimated to be around 314 million, according to the department’s most recent statistics.

Obama has offshore investments in Cayman Islands



It appears that Mitt Romney is not the only candidate for president with investments in the Cayman Islands. Another candidate has investments offshore in that island paradise as well. His initials are B.O., as in body odor.


Politifact, one of the left’s favorite sources of campaign dirt, confirms that “investments made by managers of the Illinois pension fund in which Obama has an account” does indeed have holdings in the Cayman Islands.

Employers, who pay low wages, are creating their own wealth by also creating the welfare explosion.

Did you just completely IGNORE the fact that Liberals complain that companies ship jobs overseas BECAUSE wages are LOWER outside of the USA?
