“Welcome to Obamaland!”Dude, Bush tried to have fast food jobs reclassified as manufacturing and Cheney tried to defend the 10% unemployment rate by saying it didn’t account for people earning a living by selling stuff on eBay. For you to suggest that hyping under employment as economic recovery is an Obama thing is utter bull sh-t.
“The private sector can create jobs too, but won’t unless there’s a profit to be made by doing so. It doesn’t matter how much money they have or how many times you cut their taxes. They aren’t going to pay people to build and sell a product if there aren’t enough people who can afford to buy it.” – - – That’s just a neutral statement of fact, not a criticism of corporations. That’s why we need to rely on the government to do some things that corporations won’t do. That’s why we need to keep in mind that the corporate world does not serve the public interest, and should not be allowed to run amok.

Welcome to the effects of the right-wing. Idiots who can easily be fooled into licking various bits of the 1%.

More properly named “Land of the One Percenters” – working hard everyday to repeal that 13th Amendment.

That’s rude. Can you not refute his view without the name calling?
