Liberals founded this nation
What were they thinking?
Workers are kept hungry and in fear of their jobs. Salaries are now stagnant even though our nations wealth is increasing
Time to stop blaming the workers
Sounds to me like it's time to stop being a "worker" and exercise your freedom to do anything you please in the nation which provides you more economic freedom and opportunity than anywhere on the planet.
If being a worker is such an awful deal, why be one? Be an entrepreneur instead. Find what it is you have a passion for and devote yourself to that. People do it every day in this country, some people come to this country just so they can do that. Rather than sitting around complaining about how bad it sucks to be a "worker" stop being one.... be something else!
Same old GOP platitudes that ignore the economic realities of a society vs a single worker
Yes, a single worker may be able to quit and start a business, but 100 million workers can't
Why is Conservative economic theory so lame?

The clear majority of new businesses fail. Also, in order to start a business one needs lots of money.
That depends on the nature of the business. Some people start out small. Some stay small. Some grow as demand increases. Apple started in a garage. I don't think Microsoft even had that. Most startups fail because the people have surreal expectations, thinking they will be laying on a beach somewhere sipping cocktails while their masterplan rakes in untold sums of money. The reality is that it takes blood, sweat and tears and you'll work harder than an employee, put in more hours, take more risks with little or nothing to fall back on and your employees will act like you did it all so they can enjoy a good livelihood.The clear majority of new businesses fail. Also, in order to start a business one needs lots of money.
No, that's what you're here for.This is politics? Have people on this board reached a new low?

Yep, lot's of new businesses fail. And almost every successful capitalist experienced failure at some point. Again, if it were easy, every idiot would be a multi-billionaire. You do not need a lot of money to start a business. There are countless people who have come to this country as immigrants without a penny to their names, who started businesses and became wealthy. You need a dream, drive and ambition.
What you are now doing is making excuses for failure. What you want is for people to be able to sit on their ass and be taken care of by others because things are too hard. Becoming successful in business IS hard, it's extremely hard, but it can be done, it's done every day.
What you need to understand is, the Liberal Utopian Marxist Socialist Fantasy doesn't exist. There is never going to be a world where you don't have to put forth any effort and everything is going to be handed to you. If you destroy free market capitalism, you have destroyed the only mechanism by which free men can achieve all the wealth they desire. You will have replaced it with dismal and abject poverty the likes of which your mind can't imagine, and hopelessness to ever escape that life in the future. You will have given up your freedom to ruling class elites who will not give a damn about you in the end.

Once again you fail to explain how your plan of "If you don't like your wages...start a business" will resolve the stagant wages of over 100 million workers for the last 30 years
Margaret Thatcher said of capitalism, "There is no alternative." Nevertheless, there are alternatives within capitalism. Most people benefit from a mixed economy with a well funded public sector of the economy paid for by steeply progressive taxation, along with strong labor unions.
In the United States during the twentieth century there was more economic growth, and more job creation per year under Democratic presidents. Even the stock market did better. There was nearly as much growth in the per capita gross domestic product during FDR's first term as during the terms of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. There was considerably more job creation.

Boss's attitude is that those who do not succeed in business do not matter. There is little point in debating basic attitudes and values.
Nevertheless, in his profile he describes himself as "an open minded conservative." I would like to open his mind to the fact that since 2000 the rich have been getting richer, and the standard of living for most Americans has been declining. I would like also to open his mind to the probability that an economy in which that happens for any length of time is not conducive to a healthy society.
There will not necessarily be a left wing reaction. There may be some sort of populist right wing reaction. The white majority may decide to economically and politically disenfranchise non whites, and perhaps Jews also.
Nevertheless, there will be change. It will not be the sort of change a decent minded conservative will be comfortable with.
No, that's what you're here for.This is politics? Have people on this board reached a new low?
Oh no, allow me to correct your erroneous claim here... The rich have always gotten richer. The rich will always get richer in a free capitalist society.

During the twentieth century most Americans benefited when the rich were heavily taxed. However, why do you think this is true: "Despite the fact that Wall Street tends to prefer Republican candidates, the stock market historically has performed better under Democratic presidents.
"Since 1900, the Dow has averaged a 7.8% annual gain under Democratic presidents, compared with a 3% annual gain under Republicans, WSJ reported earlier this year."

*SIGH* Well because everything is so wonderful and great when we have Dummycrap presidents! Flowers shoot out of everybody's ass and mana flows from the heavens! Happiness rains down on all our heads and we have not a care in the world, for the Dummycrap president is in charge! People no longer have problems! There is no more poverty! No more sickness! No wars! All of our troubles are over and we have nothing to do but invest in the stock market and make is soar!
Why else? Dumbass!
when Republicans are elected, it's usually after Democrats have so fucked up the country the people had to elect a Republican to fix it.
