   Hey, did you see where the right wing radicals in the House have prevented the Violence Against Women Act to come up for a vote, in spite of the fact that many moderate Repubs tried to get a vote on it and were in favor of it???? There is a battle brewing between the right wing kooks in the House and the level headed moderate GOP….

   that is a scary thought—but on the other hand he is already acting like a dictator and pushing through all his socialist agendas

   usnretiredx2:: yes, obama is the perfect rationization for term limits that i have ever seen…he has the whole country picking at the scraps and blaming it on those that grow the country…ask waiters, realtors, car salesman, restaurant owners,charities, social security retirees,etc where they would be without the 2% in this country…at some point we all could take the Denise Rich route to other lands of opportunity and leave the entitlements and the entitled to feast upon the next in line like the next 4% to fund them…and so on, and so on…..

    I’m really going to hate to see my pay stub next week. How much is going to be taken out in taxes to cover the entitlements for people who never worked a lick in their lives yet feel entitled to every darn thing.

    Dana–you are pushing water uphill AGAIN. You should know that the wealthy have not created jobs for almost a decade and have the lowest tax rates in 60 years. Further, in a bad recession or depression, the wealthy hide their money (like Robme) and do not invest in new plants and equipment and labor—why?–Because there is no product demand, which is key to plant and labor expansion. That’s why it’s so necessary to get money in the economy (to the middle class) so it can be spent immediately, thus creating even more jobs. But the uneducated right wing has done everything possible to KILL our economy because of their intense hatred of one of the smartest and most progressive presidents we have had in decades–Obama.

    usnretiredx2, I couldn’t image a retail worker not complaining about their job daily. One A@@ can make your day bad and I’m sure more than one A@@ walks into a retail store daily.

    My husband’s laughs every time I post something about Walmart. Just a minute ago he said, “You hate shopping at Walmart. Every time I take you to Walmart you make me put back half of my items.”
    Truth is I don’t shop at Walmart that much. I’m a loss leader, clearance and coupon shopper. No loss leaders at Walmart, Sam Club or even Costco. I go into most retail stores monthly to check prices.
    BTW: Did you know that it’s against all retailers policies to take photos of they prices and/or write down the items price? It was explained to me in detail at Kmart once. The manager was silly enough to tell me when I had a cart full of frozen food. She explained the policy and said I need to check out and leave. She was so surprised that I just walked away from my cart.

    ===============================

    I would argue that wealth would be difficult to attain without schoolteachers, realtors, waiters, and shelf stockers. Although they command a smaller paycheck than their CEO buddies, these guys are invaluable because they EXIST. Indeed, there would be no such thing as rich if poor people simply killed themselves. Who’ll clean up aisle 17? Do the Koch brothers know how to grow their own food? You’re seeing only a small part of a very large picture.

    Good afternoon everyone…..

    Coffee and everyone. I’ll be doing cold med shopping this afternoon so I’ll let you know what I find. I’m a big price shopper so I’ll be able to tell you if the increase cost is added into the base price or if it’s a separate tax.
    We may not see anything for a month of two.

    Of course the media isn’t going to tell us that taxes are going up. I’m starting to think that’s why the Republicans let the bill pass. The news media is saying Obama saved the middle class from tax increase. So, now when all the new Obama care taxes hit Obama can’t blame the Republicans for the increase.

    I would argue that wealth would be difficult to attain without schoolteachers, realtors, waiters, and shelf stockers.

    Exactly – a CEO with no employees, a small business owner with no customers, or a skilled laborer with no employer, all of these things are useless on their own, and economic success does not exist in isolation. Everyone in an economy is a ‘job creator,’ by virtue of their participation, it just so happens that some segments of an economy are easier to replace than others.

    Having said that, even executives are easily replaced in 20-freaking-12; for every one executive intoxicating himself with the vanity of ‘going Galt,’ there’s 100 qualified people who can barely wait to move up the ladder, and they’re sure as hell not going to be dissuaded by a 4.5% tax increase. For the Lincoln Club types, and people like the Friess family, this whole politics thing is just a game (anyone with some time on their hands should read the leaked e-mails exchanged between the Friess family, James O’Keefe, and John Fund); if you get what you want, great, if you don’t get what you want… well, you’re still a billionaire. Even when you lose, you win.
