I don't suppose you have an actual source?

Too many to count, but since none of them came from FauxNews, it probably won't matter to you:

Thanks LJ!

Remember when we used to be number 1? Number one in in everything from education to health? Number one in Standard of Living? Remember the good old days when we didn't we gave ALL OUR MONEY to corporate American defense contractors, insurance companies and Banks? After Bush was ousted I thought I would see some "ok we were wrong" posts instead these easily minipulated right wingers doubled down on these lubricious economic policies and fight vehemently against any of OUR tax money actually coming back to US in any way. Half of us fight against better healthcare, better roads, better education, and fully support monopolies and massive corporate welfare- AKA "looting the treasury"? How did we get this dumb?

Or are you just spouting Olberman talking points?

I have nothing in the market. Pulled out many years ago when it became apparent to me it was a scam. There are better ways to save.

Too bad for you. Sounds like you pulled out when the market was near it's bottom. Over the past 2 years I have made greater than a 60% rate of return in the stock market.

Never played it...Ever

It's a joke

More whining from the lefties, go figure!

If you are not seeing any $ trickling down into your personal pocket, yet you refuse to invest in the corporations that are paying stock holders the "trickle down $ you have no reason to complain. You want to bitch and moan about the profitable corporations because it sounds like sour grapes and not so bright decision making. Corporations make profits because they have smart people making decisions. You are your own corporation and if you are not making big profits, it stands to reason you're not making very smart decisions.

Hey RD- We are discussing the plumeting standard of living in this country..It's not all about me, ok? Get a new obsession, i'm getting tired of being yours

It really is simple ecominics, corporations can not hire additional labor until they have the means and the need. :bash :bash Job growth naturally follows profit growth. If you take a look you'll see that many corporations are in the process of reversing wage and hiring freezes they implemented 2 or 3 years ago.

Taking advice from a comic? I guess that is what we get when the biggest clown on this forum decides to pontificate.
