there are many FReepers that qate anti business and anti capitalist, agreeing with the president. Corporations are not the root of evil
Center-left? Maybe compared to Elizabeth Warren.
Business, particularly big businesses , so the hell with them. the cable companies such as Time Warner spent more time in bed with the son of a bitch than Michelle did.
“With the exception of his support for free trade, Obama is center-left on most economic issues”
What a joke.
Obama is emboldened by a submissive GOP
which has eagerly passed his ObamaTRADE
and ObamaNuke4Iran deals. EAGERLY, as they
kept ObamaCARE intact, and themselves: EXEMPT.
Obama is no friend to consumers. He simply wants to steal bigger and bigger chunks for the government to spend, just like a true commie/socialist does.
A beautiful morning to all!
No way around it, last week was good for us investors w/ both stocks (that notched up to a new high even if Friday did close slightly in rising trade) and w/ metals (that hold steady w/ a solid price level that's been holding for months now). Futures traders are reasonably upbeat pegging metals +0.24% and stock indexes +0.05% today. More reasurrance comes from the fact we shouldn't have many econ stat surprises, just the NAHB Housing Market Index at an hour and a half into the trading day.
It's all suggesting a quiet day, lots of time to catch up on the latest FR econ threads:
- This California Town Wants to be the Next Marijuana Mecca
- California minimum wage hike hits L.A. apparel industry: 'The exodus has begun'
- James Grant: Something Is Going to Go Wrong
- The Place That Wants Donald Trump Most
- It begins: In wake of California $15 minimum wage, garment firms moving out of Los Angeles
- Sport Chalet closing all of its stores
- I was told yesterday that Trump is a liberal Democrat. My reply:
- Ted Cruz Is Right: His Tax Plan Would Supercharge GDP Growth
- US industrial production fell 0.6% in March vs. 0.1% drop expected
The author is an imbecile. Trump's campaign is built atop political anger, not anger at the corporate boogeyman.
I’ve often wondered this: If I am a small business person who works her butt off for decades, building and growing her business from NOTHING, providing JOBS and putting a ton of cash back into the economy through said jobs...at what point do I become EVIL?
When my sales are $2 Million? $10 Million? 100 Million?
I have yet to have a Liberal that can answer that for me.
“Obama may feel emboldened by the anger...”
This poser has no IDEA what we’re angry about in the first place!!
I agree with him on set top boxes. The cable companies have been ripping off the consumer for years. Now they even force you to have a set top box. So you pay for service and have to get a box to descramble the signal. So you pay 2 times for the service.
