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.
A conservative realizes that corporations can become too large, dominating the market and overpowering healthy comptition. A little trust busting is a reasonable temedy.
we have no trusts
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
Somehow I’d always thought that class hatred had no place on a conservative forum but we sure do get a lot of it.
The author is an imbecile. Trump's campaign is built atop political anger, not anger at the corporate boogeyman.
Maybe they mean that O being a socialist who denies he's a socialist is "center-left" but Sanders saying he's a socialist (when he's really a revolutionary Marxist) is to be referred to as "moderate-left'.
media-speak
Obama is emboldened by a submissive GOP
That's the nut of what's been going on. Too often fear generates a rational that appeasement can bring peace, but the reality is that appeasement starts wars.
Emboldened is not involved.
Obama has a do list and is systematically checking them off.
The clock is running out and the quality of the stuff on the list is diminishing.
--and he's w/ the loopy-left Yahoo News. What caught my eye was the fact that they're up-front and clear that we got an out'n'out war on business.
Nobody's saying it's wrong. Bad sign.
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!!
And yet another village is missing an idiot. The anger is not against corps it is against gubment.
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.
