I honestly feel that more republicans would abandon their party if they just accepted two facts:

Too bad, your opinions aren't really facts. Regulatory and tax uncertainty is causing business to sit on their hands. As for #2 you're just full of it.
Regulations do very little to hinder job growth. The BLS stats prove that.

I said regulatory and tax uncertainty, businesses have to be able to forecast to make major capital expenditures, they can't do that in todays climate, so they are sitting on their hands and checkbooks.

Poll Most Americans support government action on climate change WashingtonExaminer.com

Most Americans for Raising Minimum Wage

If you look at the actual poll, people aren't so enthusiastic if they have to come out of their pocket to support it.
Lol well that really is the only way to do it. They've been brainwashed by repubs into believing paying taxes is bad. It's not.

Nothing about thAt makes any sense. They are wealthier than ever before. They simply don't want to invest. Of course, again, we don't need an increase in investment. Increasing supply does jack shit to increase demand. Businesses don't do better just because they have more to sell.
 
1) if you want to stimulate economic growth, you help the middle class and poor, not the wealthy. Think about this. The wealthy are doing better now MORE THAN EVER BERORE, so why has growth not been faster? It's because the middle class is shrinking because of rising income inequality. The rise in income inequality will only destabilize our economy even further because consumer spending is decreasing. Consumer spending is vital to the economy - it accounts for 70% of it.

Meanwhile, all this stimulus (tax cuts) to the wealthy does jack shit for the economy overall. Why? Two reasons: A) the wealthy are investing less and less these days because it is just easier for them to keep the money they save rather than make huge investments to grow their business. And even if they were investing more money, it wouldn't do jack shit to increase economic demand which is ultimately what matters. Businesses invest more when demand is up. B) the wealthy, individually when it comes to consumer spending, spend just as much money as someone in the middle class does when it comes to daily/monthly purchases. Sure they make extravagant purchases, but those ultimately do little for the economy at large.

2) Most Americans side with liberal issues that republicans oppose like raising the minimum wage, certain gun control laws, extending unemployment benefits, and gay marriage. Oh and recent polls show that most Americans believe in dramatic climate change and want the gov to do something about it.
That's why America is meant to be Capitalistic.

The Republican Party has moved so far to the right, it's ridiculous.

The insurance mandate, Obamacare, was the republican healthcare plan.

So when is the last time you wrote a check to uncle sugar that wasn't required by law, support is something you do willingly, when it's against your will it's called extortion.

Right now why should a business spend major bucks on R&D, new machinery or anything else, like you said they are doing just fine the way things are. They need to see a potential for a reasonable return on their investment or they will stick with what's working.

They need to invest in a stronger labor force is what they need to do.

When are you going to figure out that labor is a commodity just like raw materials, machines and buildings? Businesses don't buy more than they need of any of it, it wouldn't be good business.

Nah, they're interested about making money but why invest when they can cut workers pay and pay 12% taxes??? While sitting pretty!

What we need is to break up some of these monopoly and force competition! This way they want to invest money in order to compete.
