Seventy-five percent (75%) of investors now say the economy is getting worse. That’s an increase from 58% since Lehman Brothers collapsed last September to begin the financial industry meltdown. On the day that President Obama was inaugurated, 63% of investors thought the economy was getting worse.

No investor confidence, no business investments. No business investments, no hiring. No hiring, no consumer spending. No consumer spending, no investor confidence. A vicious cycle of economic contraction.

Good thing we have "the largest tax cut in history" coming our way, eh?

Let’s see here...
50% pay no taxes, 5% pay 50% of all taxes,
“95% are going to get a tax cut”
so 12% pay a little less, and 78% get a new welfare benefit.

Who the heck are the 25% running around singing “happy days are here again”?

“Good thing we have “the largest tax cut in history” coming our way, eh?”

That $13 a pay will only pay for about a half a box of .45ACP.

People are beginning to learn first-hand what a socialist / communist economic system really entails.
