American corporations made a total of $1.6 trillion in profits in the last quarter of 2011 alone. To put this in perspective, those profits could have been used to create enough jobs to effectively end unemployment. I'm not saying they should give all of their profits away, but with so many struggling to find and maintain a good paying job or any at all, these "job creators" need to stop being so greedy and reinvest in the people of this country who buy their goods and services. Without the consumer, the corporation is nothing.
