82% Of US Voters Believe Inflation Is Fueled By Corporations Jacking Up Prices

[justoffal]

On the heels of fresh data showing that the U.S. inflation rate jumped to a new 40-year high last month, a new survey found that more than 80% of American voters believe costs are rising in part because "big corporations are jacking up prices" while raking in record profits.

Released Friday by the advocacy group Fight Corporate Monopolies, the poll showed that 82% of registered U.S. voters blame big companies for at least some of the recent inflation spike and want elected officials to "take on powerful CEOs and rein in corporate greed to lower prices."

Looks like the Putin wing of the Republican party is having messaging issues.

Lol....where did you go to school?

You don't know the difference between price increase and fiat inflation?

Are you serious?

I get that this is today's attempt to spin responsibility away Quid pro's fuckups.

But oil is trading at $131 a barrel - highest since 1978 (inflation adjusted) which causes fuel, plastic, fertilizer. and pharmaceutical prices to explode - all due to the complete fuckups that are Joe Biden.

Taxing away oil companies’ ‘windfall profits’ would keep them starved for capital and unable to increase production.

Income <> profit. The MARGIN on a barrel of oil is down

It went to over $143 in 2008. How does this inflation thing work?

Oil prices pass $143 a barrel; U.S. gas hits high

Well duh.
But the fact is Democrats printing up $1.5T and dumping it into the economy required them to raise prices to match their costs

So, politicians too then, right?

The Labor Department announced Thursday to no one’s surprise that over the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen 7.9 percent. And that’s the good news.

Fox News is not a credible source for anything.
You and your anti Israeli avatar are going to have to do much better than that.

Right wing news sources are not credible. They lie in favor of partisanship. The reality of the shortages and price hikes are not what you people concentrate on. You’re more interested in the seeds of hate for our government in favor of fascism.

Profiteering in a capitalist society is not only encouraged, it’s mandated. Get it while you can, when you can.

Controlling prices is the very definition of Socialism. The Republican party is very opposed to Socialism except when it comes to gas and food prices. They’re ready to jettison capitalism in a heartbeat to get those gas prices down.

You have NO idea what socialism is.

How is producing more product socialism?

Neither President Biden nor corporations are ‘to blame.’

‘All the factors driving inflation can be explained by the principles of supply and demand. For perspective, inflation occurs when there is “too much money chasing too few goods.” For much of the past 12 years, goods flowing through efficient global supply chains met the demands of consumers, and price appreciation was in the 2% range despite a very accommodative monetary policy that kept interest rates low. Significant expansion in U.S. domestic oil production helped to mitigate any energy-induced price pressures. The pandemic upset this delicate balance.’

So you're clueless about 2 things.

You should have someone explain to you how the US economy functions, and how government is supposed to work.

You don’t have a clue on either score but someone taught you big words use use to covered your ignorance.

You are a repulsively evil creature and are utterly stupid. Why are you making this post look like I was responding to you, when I was responding to Skews, you worthless piece of filth?

It is the printing of currency like there is no tomorrow that is the main contributing factor to our current inflation, and not those evil corporations you have been trained to hate.

Glad you used an unbiased source.

Anyone who thinks that companies are not taking advantage of the current situation to pad their profits does not understand how businesses work.

And you are going to tell me you would not pad your prices just a little bit more than necessary to increase your profits as long as people were willing to pay them?

If not, then you are an idiot.

Do you feel better now that you’ve called me names? You are repulsively stupid to call anyone evil.

Printing of currency isn’t fuelling inflation but thanks for proving you know absolutely nothing about the economy. Why are you even giving us your worthless opinions that have no basis in fact or reality?

Inflation happens when lots of people have money and nowhere to spend it. They start bidding wars and bid up the prices because they have the money to do it.

Gas companies are gouging consumers in the US and Canada because they can. There are gas shortages in Europe due to OPEC cutting production, but not in North America.

I guess someone told you that printing money was the problem because you’re not smart enough to figure that out on your own, and they’re not smart enough to realize that printing money isn’t the problem.

Republicans have crashed the economy three times in the last 40 years so obviously there is just as clueless as you are and you’re taking your lead from them.

So just stop with the evil insults you stupid Edited-meister. Get yourself an education and start learning how things work and stop believing the bullshit Republicans tell you.

You don’t run anything but your mouth. You don’t have the brains are skills to run a corporation and if you did you wouldn’t be posting here. The only corporate people who are posting here, are retired.

I have a small business on Etsy and last week I raise prices on all of my best selling items because I can and because people are willing to pay the price. After two years with no income from my store at all I’m getting it while I can and so is everyone else.
