The problem is you're just bringing up something you have no intention or desire to fix. Your "criticism" rings hollow b/c conservative policy would leave us exactly in the same position as Obama's.
And this has been my criticism of Obama & Conservatives for years.
I'm not running for President nor Congress.
It's not my job to "fix it".
The voters in America decided they like what Obama is doing and want him to do it for 4 more years.
It doesn't matter if you think I am ignorant, because it is just arrogance from your part. I am very happy with all aspects of my life.
I did not call you ignorant and yes as a matter of fact I was ignorant (uneducated) to the facts just like so many others are but at least I admitted it and asked the right questions instead of jumping on an Obama bandwagon that gave me an excuse for my failure. Jumping on Obama's bandwagon would have kept me ignorant and no I would be no further ahead. Instead I asked "what am I doing wrong". I did not expect government to help me and no government didn't help me build that.
A lots of those profits are from the emerging nations.
lol, I guess liberals thought that the big companies would just bend over and stay in Obama's bulls eye. Small businesses have a harder time moving out of the target zone.

So why do you vote if it's not to "fix" problems? If Candidate A told you "I'm not going to do anything in office" and Candidate B told you "I'm going to address an issue you think needs to be addressed," you're telling us that it's 50/50 who you vote for?
Yeah except for the fact that this trend of corporate profits & wages has been on the same trend, unabated except by recessions, since Reagan. But yeah...keep blaming systemic flaws that you don't actually care about actually fixing on [insert Democrat].
Your own charts actually show that to be false. The very same tax cuts that you guys moan and groan about, actually increased wages as a % of GDP.
Furthermore, look at the growth under Clinton. Did you kinow he cut the growth of federal spending? Did you know he passed tax cuts, capital gains for example fell from 28% to 20%.. Why are you expecting the same result considering Obama is proposing the complete opposite actions?

I vote for the person whom I think can do the best job for this country.
I don't get a vote for everyone in Congress, only my Representatives.
When bills get to Congress, the power and money people have already had their say and got what they want in the bills.
We may send them to DC but they sure don't represent us when it comes time to pass bills.
And it's outright blatent now.
That Sandy Relief bill had $17 billion for "the people" and $33 billion for pork.
How much more arrogant can Congress get about their pork ?

If candidate B says he's going to address the issues that need to be addressed, and then suggested policies that would result in the exact opposite outcome, are you really going to vote for him? Seems that so many of you would not only do that, but then revote for him, and then moan at the results..
