Take that SeanR, what other proof do you need?

That'll do quite nicely for now as I rummage through it and it's sources.

No they don't that's Marxist bullshit.

Growth rate of top 2%'s net worth relative to growth rate of the national debt?

Oh, right, you don't do well with facts and figures.

The top 2% know how to cut spending.

The top 2% know how to cut spending.

It's easy when corporate miscues automatically convert into billon-dollar bailouts.

And 2%ers say they don't believe in social safety nets. Qu'elle surprise.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The top 2% CAN cut. If I want to keep eating I can't cut much.

I just don't understand how the Republicans have duped so many poor people into championing the cause of the wealthy. The wealthy don't care about them, or need them to protect their net worth. If I were wealthy, I'd be laughing my ass off at these idiots that don't have a pot to piss in that are going to the mat so I can buy another house.

If I was rich I'd be weeping (into my pile of money) that so many poor Americans refuse to let me and others like me pay to get them into schools. I'm tired of all my doctors having that thick Indian Accent.

Yet you still voted for the bailout king. More to come too.

I'd be the last to support crony capitalism especially when it morphs into fascism and begins to command vast amounts of tax revenue. I think al ot of those fuckers ought to be hung, right after those in our government who set it all up.

This sentence shows that you don't understand what either term means.

That $700B bailout in Oct. 2008 was Obama's doing? Three months before he took office?

Christ, the stupid is unusually strong with both of you two today.

Keep digging, you may wise up. I doubt it though.

Crafted by the Pelosi House and the Reid Senate.

The Bush administration's $700bn emergency bail-out for the banking industry finally became law today after a week of persuasion, negotiation and horse-trading prompted Congress to reverse its opposition to the plan.

I'd rather that if you have nothing to contribute, you just slink away instead of coming back to weakly nip at my feet.

That's the best you can do? No surprise there either.

They HID this from us BEFORE the election!

No, they actually didn't

We ALL knew it

MOST PRETENDED NOT TO SEE OR CARE

HOW’S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY STUFF WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA? (CONT’D): Ignore GDP and the Fiscal Cliff, U.S. Is Already in Recession: ECRI’s Achuthan.

There’s another reason to wonder if the GDP numbers tell us as much as we think: Ugly Q3 GDP Confirms Personal Consumption Collapsing; Headline “Growth” Driven By Government, Inventory Accumulation. Oh, well, so long as nobody noticed before the election.

Entrepreneurship up 60 percent in U.S. since last year

Entrepreneurial activity is up 60 percent in the United States over last year, reaching its highest level since 2005, according to a new report.

Fewer adults reported starting businesses out of necessity this year than last, signaling a shift in entrepreneurial motivation. “In the depths of the recession, we saw a tremendous increase in people starting businesses out of necessity. In 2011, the entre*pre*neur*ship rate was pulled up primarily by those starting businesses to pursue promising opportunities,” Donna J. Kelley, Babson associate professor of entre*pre*neur*ship and lead researcher said.

The usual suspects will be along shortly to explain how this is a disaster for America and reflects poorly on President Obama.
