75 economic numbers from 2012 that are almost too crazy to believe...

[SteadyMercury]

"#11 According to one recent survey, 55 percent of all small business owners in America 'say they would not start a business today given what they know now and in the current environment.

Facts like this are useless without context, at least as far as being "too crazy to believe" from 2012.

We'd need a baseline, as in if the same number in 2004 or 2008 much higher or lower to evaluate whether it supports a position either way on the economy.

Much of our military budget also leaves the USA and does not return.

Econ 101: any American money spent abroad must then be spent in the USA.

If you think it does not return, then where does th esilly liberal think it goes?? To Pluto??

It goes to Wall Street Plutocrats, Pluto.

dear, Wall Street is actually in the country!! Sorry.

See why we are positive a liberal will be slow??

 

[georgephillip]

Actually, Pluto, Wall Street's moved.
It now resides offshore in locales like Ireland and Bermuda.
But, being properly indoctrinated, you already knew that, just as you know the only fair reform requires US workers to sacrifice their Medicare and SS benefits on the altar of Wall Street.
Right, Pluto?

From your link:

"What a year 2012 has been! The mainstream media continues to tell us what a 'great job' the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve are doing of managing the economy, but meanwhile things just continue to get even worse for the poor and the middle class.

"It is imperative that we educate the American people about the true condition of our economy and about why all of this is happening.

"If nothing is done, our debt problems will continue to get worse, millions of jobs will continue to leave the country, small businesses will continue to be suffocated, the middle class will continue to collapse, and poverty in the United States will continue to explode."

Once upon a time US investors needed a viable middle class in this country to produce the goods and services and to drive 70% of US GDP with their purchasing power. Today, US investors have a much larger middle class rising in Brazil, China, and India than they ever had here; the US middle class has become an impediment to rising incomes among the richest 10% of Americans.

And elected Republicans AND Democrats depend on the richest 1%-10% to fund their campaigns.

Republican Moderates and Democrats are economically to the Left of most Communist nations

"The wealthiest 400 families in the United States have about as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of all Americans combined."

"The wealthiest 400 families in the United States have about as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of all Americans combined."

of course thats a lie given that the bottom 50% live off of trillions and trillions in welfare entitlements and so don't need to have any wealth and are actually discourage from having any!

Why not count the trillions and trillions they get from liberal government?????

 

[georgephillip]

Trillion$ AND trillion$...really?
All those bottom feeders are almost Waltons:

"The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined."

The man who writes this shit is a known criminal

Nothing changes does it? you persist in demonetizing anyone with contrary viewpoints. A person of your intellect should be leading this country, or is it that your illusions of self importance and knowledge would be exposed for what it truly is? need I say more?

Perhaps his numbers are a little far fetched, however, correct in the direction he has emphasized, like your Messiah and his side kick, foot in mouth, who seem to repeat this numerical error each day?

4 trillion dollar every year.
300 million Americans.
How come we're not all Waltons (or girl scouts)?

THey have no wealth?? You mean except for 80k a year for life plus state of the art free medical care!!, free k-12 for their kids??? No wealth?????


See why we are positive a brainwashed liberal will be slow??

"Go figure it out yourself."

"Go figure it out yourself."

translation: as a liberal I lost the debate again so will try to withdraw and hope no one notices.

But don't you worry, you just stick to your 19th Century Marxism no matter how brain dead it is today because you have a psychological need to hate your country and worship a 19th Century freak who was responsible for killing 100 million or so.

How many did bankers and capitalists kill in the 20th Century, Pluto?

"Professor Sutton wrote that 'General Motors, Ford, General Electric, DuPont,' and other 'U.S. companies intimately involved with the development of Nazi Germany were ... controlled by the Wall Street elite,' such as "the J.P. Morgan firm, the Rockefeller Chase Bank and to a lesser extent the Warburg Manhattan bank.'"

"The wealthiest 400 families in the United States have about as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of all Americans combined."

What an insanely stupid claim.

Communists never think.

Let's assume that all the bottom 50% have incomes of the bottom median of $19,687, which I will round to 20K. (We know it's closer to $40K, but for arguments sake.)

190 million people times $20,000 = $1,300,000,000,000

$1.3 TRILLION in income - Even Soros and Nancy Pelosi don't approach that level.

George, I thought you were going back to school for your GED?

If Pedro crosses the border and gets $700 a month in welfare, $300 a month in food stamps, $300 a month for his wife in WIC, each of his 16 Nina's get school lunch, breakfast, after school care, etc. Why does Pedro not have $34,000 at the end of the year? If you said that he sends it all to Mexico, you could be right - but most of it he SPENDS...

 

[Uncensored2008]

How much would that leave for the Pentagon?

Over 70% of the Pentagon budget goes to salaries and benefits, paid to that bottom 50% you despise. Soldiers aren't rich.
