It is funny that you posted this because I just made a post saying there should be a limit put on certain peoples account. Especially the OPs account.

If anything, 2 or 3 threads about disliking Obama can do. It is getting out of control.
Aren't you late for school, or your minimum-wage job?

Can I back it up with fact? It's common sense! Ask any business owner. Take an economics course. Do a little fact-finding yourself!


So you cant back it up with fact.

According to the NYT graph corporate profits were the hightest share of GDP since the 1960's but the take home pay was the lowest share of GDP.
Also job growth under bush was the worst since 1945 (other graph)

So according to you corporations are still burdened by high taxes even though they have been the most profitable since the 1960's?

Are you saying they should be even more profitable? So how much profit does a company need to make before they hire more employees?

I just hope that when businesses need to cut costs because Obama increased their taxes they fire their Dumbocrat employees first. They know who the lazy ones are that expect handouts. They also know the ones that want to harm the people that feed them.

Well, considering everyone in my company is a liberal democrat except for two people, they're going to have to go on quite the firing frenzie
Plus, our company is doing great, no worries here.
