When Hollywood and Democrats stopped trying to hide their Communist ideals.

Can there be a correct answer to a question which is founded on false premise?

I know a lot of people, but I have never met anyone who has said profits are a 'very bad thing'.

Low interest rates are for the benefit of the public and business. If the rates were higher the banks would simply pass those increases onto the consumer. By the way rates are at historic lows. I do aggree interest rates are too low and may lead to serious inflation if they are not raise.

I think it comes from some of the statements over the past year made by 0bama and democrat leaders, where they almost spit out the word "profits" like a snake spitting venom.

Exactly. The whole question is nothing but another GOP bumper sticker lie.

Exactly and most of the people likely to display those bumper stickers are no where near wealthy or business owners.
