    Republicans/Fox “news” viewers believe that high unemployment is caused by the existence of a minimum wage. -They believe the way to improve the economy is to give even more income tax subsidies to the Koch Brothers, the Waltons, Willard the ChickenHawk, Sheldon Adelson, and all large corporations (people).-They believe that elimination of every part of a safety net for poor people will then give them incentive.-But, they believe it’s wrong to decrease tax subsidies for the wealthy because the wealthy need ‘incentives’.-My guess is that Werner Erhard will feed a hungry person before a Fox “news” viewer can identify a Job Creator.

    GOOD JOBS ARE CRUCIAL TO ELIMINATING POVERTY AND SELF LOATHING.The Socialist element within the Democratic Party is doing everything it can to increase government dependency. Extending benefits sounds caring but without, at the same time, improving the ability of businesses of all sizes to grow and hire workers, we will all turn into government slaves and a a tipping point the benefits will decrease.

    President Obama does not want to kill grandparents, sweetie, honey pie. There are more millionaires because there are more people, yet only 1% of the population have the majority of America’s wealth. They tend to be Billionaires, not millionaires. My house is valued/appraised at $1,000,605. With my other assets, I’m a millionaire. It ain’t cash sweetie pie.

    Deregulation of business and tax cuts for the wealthy are the conditions which have allowed a small percentage of Americans to accumulate enough money to reach that threshold. That money is coming out of the pockets of the middle class and the working poor. That’s how I explain it.

    Evidence? Like Republicans voting for a Bush stimulus, but filibustering Obama’s?-Like the economy losing jobs at a rate of 750,000 every month when Obama took office? And 400+ filibusters since? No lasting effects?-Democrat’s policies are mostly NOT in force. They have been filibustered, just like almost all appointments.-Would Halliburton qualify as a mega business?

    War on poverty is not good terminology. An opportunity for everyone to make a go of it would be better. And it wasn’t going so badly until Viet Nam and other wars drained the treasury.

    In my area, freeways got repaired and repaved and in some cases widened, all sorely needed. Work continues today.-Too bad you don’t live in Paul Ryan’s district. Deficit Hawk that he is, he got lots of stimulus money for his district.
