"I first noticed during the 1980’s bank mergers that the stock market went up every time blocks of workers were laid-off (instead of when companies made a profit.) Ah-oh, something had gone wrong. Stocks used to go down because everyone knew jobless workers was bad in the long run."

The reality of it is, making money is hard. For the last 30 years it has been keep the shareholders happy with mergers and acquisitions, lowering your cost by off-shoring, and it has been all about the deals through the brokerage firms when these mergers occur.

It is time to get back to your core competencies and yes internal growth is hard. But if Obamacare is gone, Obama's new work rules, Dodd-Frank gone so you get capital again, a 15% flat business tax, and cheap and plentiful natural gas for your plant when we unleash the fracking revolution, how can a company not be competitive nationally and internationally as well?

Too complicated for me, but, I have common sense.

In no way should a Soros exist.

Congress needs to rewrite the rules for the middle class and to eliminate the Soros class.
