Sorry, but facts are facts.







American workers work harder and longer and are more productive than ever but corporate greed and their GOP enablers very effectively continue to screw the working man as corporate profits soar.

You people are getting screwed and just keep voting in the same idiot politicians for bull**** cultural reasons. Bernie actually offers solutions for the average American.

The Federal Reserve is most responsible for the decline of the dollar. But that fact doesn't jive with your big government narrative.

Lets ignore the fact that up and materializing billions in "bail out" and even more in stimulus money did more to keep your real income from going up than evil corporations.

OK.
So your plan to change it is to elect someone who will run what is left of our manufacturing base and any other profitable business that can leave out of the country with draconian tax increases?
I swear to God liberalism is a mental defect.

This is what makes no sense. On the one hand, left-wingers criticize businesses and investors for moving jobs overseas to get lower costs, lower taxes, and less intrusive regulations, but on the other hand their "solution" is higher costs, higher taxes, and more intrusive regulations. WTF?

The end game of leftism is a gun to the head of businesses so they can't leave.
