P.S. I love how it's "hatred" because we don't agree with B.O's policies, yet you far lefties spent the last 8 years so engrossed in raw unadulterated hate that a term for it was coined; BDS. Hypocritical? Just a bit.
Really? And where do you think we are NOW???? We are in crisis because of the REPUBLICAN polices that came "to fruition."

Hypocritical??? I don't think so. It was a REPUBLICAN administration and Congress that tore this nation apart. Take your blinders off, pal.

You need to change your screen name by the way. Einstein is rolling in his grave right now.
Cute! You're a worrier. Getting personal, I see. Running out of arguments?

How loud you're, what you hope happens... none of that matters at this time. I would be interested if you can actually come up with a solution that is more promising and has a track record, until then, all you've got is a set of talking points.

May not be the best advice if you don't like things going against you, but keep an eye on this. We should be able to talk all about it in coming months.

Know anything about Einstein's political views? He would've considered Obama a hard core right winger.

Republicans want tax breaks for everyone (everyone who pays taxes, that is), not just the "rich."

You mean those evil rich who employ Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Pakistani workers, rather than American workers? Yeah, those evil rich.

Lower the corporate tax rate from the 2nd highest in the world and see how many business come back. You do know that businesses are in business to make money, right? Are you self employed? What's your major, by the way? Are you in a frat?

Did you throw that last one in to cover your own behind frat boy! So let me get this straight your guys policy has opened the door for companies moving over seas! Your tax-cuts haven't delivered jobs if anything they have redistributed wealth! You should have economic input why?

And how has that turned out over last eight years? Would love to see the evidence of its effectiveness.

Bush did lower the corporate tax rate and the businesses left, anyway.

You do know that businesses are still required to function as members of the community? To engage in ethical behavior? You do know that the federal government has the legal power to shut down any corporation at any time, if the corporation stops serving the interests of the people? Not the shareholders. The people. You do know that, right? You do know that "business" and "profit" are human-derived concepts? That they were not inscribed on the stone that Moses brought down from the mountain? That business does not have carte blanche to run roughshod in the name of profit?

What's YOUR major? What frat are YOU in?
