Evil corporations sit on $trillions while millions remain unemployed!

[Mr. H.]

If "evil" corporations won't employ us, perhaps we should just employ ourselves.

Obama's lack of direction reaches far and wide...

Corporations should realize they aren't wanted in the US, take their money and leave. Have a business revolt. Not a dime, not a job, not a benefit.

Yeah, those poor, poor corporations. Never appreciated in their own time. Why don't they just just leave? That'd sure teach us a lesson.

They have already. You understand the basic concepts of Globalisation, right?

All too well, I'm afraid. They've abandoned the average working class hero already but they're still a major presence when it comes to eking out whatever profit remains to be taken.

Many of their profits are from foreign earnings. Some of these corporations have ticker symbols on foreign stock exchanges. They don't physically have to move to make money. As long as these businesses re-frame from repatriating their foreign income to America, they do not have to pay taxes on it. They can effectively expand in business friendly environments, avoid paying corporate taxes while staying in America all at the same time.

It's full of win.

I will never understand why in the hell people think they need jobs. Work eight hours a day at anything you're remotely good at and you will make a living.

Jobs are for chumps.

I was really good at park basketball, but never got paid to do that.

You can't make money at something that is not in demand.

If you organized leagues, 3 on 3 tournaments and basketball clinics, you'd make some money. Jobs are for chumps.

Smart people find demand. They don't lament the lack of it.

Taking a job is voluntarily working for less than you are worth.

I'm still waiting to hear liberals tell me exactly what the working class is supposed to do to make a living after they teach those evil corporations a lesson.

Work. Because they are the working class.
But we need decent wages, you know. Something that will let me pay rent, bills, transportation, clothing, etc. (while having some money left over to be put into savings and for a bit of fun)

I would have no problem working 40 hours a week if I got a wage that could cover this.
But my employer keeps me part time because of their budget. :/

Well, you could either ...
A) Work to receive a college degree towards a higher skill level that brings you into the income bracket you are more comfortable with receiving.
B) Start your own business, and place yourself in a position to pay your employees what you now think you're worth to your boss.
C) Don't vote for politicians who encourage the printing of more currency as a means to "help" (in their eyes) the economy, while devaluing the worth of US dollar on the rest of us needing to make a living.

No doubt. Our biggest ace in the hole is that no country on Earth produces as many good little consumers as we do. I think most corporations have become dependent on that.

Fund science, tech and infrastructure

The goal should be for corporation to innovate and grow jobs, but also for the government to invest into infrastructure + R @ D. Anyone that wants a pure capitalist or socialist system doesn't know what they're talking about.

I think going after personal wealth=ok
Going after corporation=bad

As corporations use that money to hire people and expand. Maybe the democrats aren't totally wrong with raising taxes on people making more then 500k per year??? It isn't so good to expect people making less then 30k per year as we generally want them to increase their wealth to go from the lower to middle classes.

It's not just "fund science, tech and infrastructure. There has to be a direction and a goal.

Fortune Global 500 - Fortune

Out of the 5 largest companies in the world, number 5 is wholly owned by the Chinese government. Who says government can't do business?

And China is building a million robots to take over jobs paying $172 a month. Those robots could be created here. With dropping energy costs in this country, they would even be cheaper to run here.

But Republicans, those tiny minded fools, wanted to put an "pioneer of outsourcing" in as president. They think education is for snobs. They think science is a faith. They think even suggesting education for the more than 3.8 million jobs that go unfilled is an insult to hard working men and women who have no education.

I see education as an opportunity if it's done right.

We could build robots here. We could employ programmers. We could build the machines here. We could educate technicians to run the machines. So much we could do but Republicans stand in the way. It's not "government". It's "them".

No. No, they do not. For example, 41% of Apple's sales are American based. The United States has less Coca-Cola production consumption than Mexico, Chile and Panama and it's still falling.

Corporations do not need America at all. Justifying the extraction of wealth from corporations simply due to the fact that they're native companies is generally a bogus concept. In the end, it really doesn't matter what you raise taxes to, because the truly rich will never pay them.

So the rich don't pay taxes anyway so the solution is to give them MORE money?

Why companies want to keep their money here is the stability of the government Republicans want to destroy (the fools).

And like I said, the 5th largest company in the world is wholly owned by the Chinese Government. So I guess government can do business.

Complex problems mean complex solutions. Simple knee jerk solutions that fail come from simple minded jerks.

 

[earlycuyler]

Actually, if corporate America is sitting on money that they could invest or spend wisely to make money and create jobs then others would see the opportunity too and make the money themselves. This is the exact nature of capitalism.

The reality, however, is that globalization and Obama's idiotic anti-business liberal policies have left far fewer domestic opportunities for American corporations.

Obama's biggest liberal socialist blunder is, of course, Obamacare.

Bastards.

Don't corporations use the same services that we do?

They more effiencially as "ports"/methods for the government and private means to do things without the failures of the communist system of the past. They may use the societies resources , but they're the ones putting it to good use bettering our lives...

Long way to go for a 'yes'.

If by 'give them MORE money,' you are suggesting, 'lowering their taxes,' then sure. Rich people -- despite all this jive about wanting to pay more -- do not enjoy paying more taxes, because they understand that they will have to spend extra money to avoid them. I guess this is the progressive way of 'sticking it to the rich' by making sure the rich have an extra tough time avoiding taxes.

Why companies want to keep their money here is the stability of the government Republicans want to destroy (the fools).

They're not keeping their money here. Have you seen your financial account?

And like I said, the 5th largest company in the world is wholly owned by the Chinese Government. So I guess government can do business.

Oh my, someone doesn't understand how publicly-traded companies work...

What exactly are you 'complex' solutions? I really would like to know...

 

[OnePercenter]

Meanwhile, Obamacare prevents any hiring, because insurance premiums are set to double....

Of which 100% is subsidized.

We've seen your interpretation of subsidies.

Don't you have some money to go spend?

Why do you think they want a tax holiday to bring it back into the country? Remember the last time that happened under Bush? They didn't create jobs. They used the money to move more jobs to China.

Clearly, you don't understand "complex". I think it's past your bedtime.

 

[whitehall]

It's really odd that the radical left doesn't understand how bi-polar they have become. Everyone credits Obama for the stock market gaining about 100 points but the gain was the result of more corporate wealth but the left hates corporate wealth but they want to credit the president with economic recovery.

If "evil" corporations won't employ us, perhaps we should just employ ourselves.

I'm all for that but increasingly, corporations have every advantage over private citizens. Or are you talking about co-ops? What's your business model?

We could incorporate if we really wanted to.

Im not going to be presumptious to propose a one size fits all business model. We all need to determine our own needs
