Democrats enforce destructive rule over us by elitists who hate working class men and families. How does that enrich anyone?

If I was poor and either looking for a job or looking for someone to buy something I made, would I want to be in a place where there were MORE rich people... or FEWER?

It doesn’t!

They are not looking for the best lives for the lowest placed people. They are looking to bring the highest placed people down so the lowest placed people will not be so envious.

Well..since companies don’t create jobs and they didn’t build that...I’m not sure. /s

I know one thing...I have never had a poor man give me a job.

Obama was talking in his “Negro dialect,” as Hary Reid put it.

If the minimum wage was raised to $3000/hour we’d all be rich.

What does Penny Pritzker think Onama.

This piece of garbage surrounds himself with billionaires and acts like he is for the little guy. Obama is a LIAR.

As many sweetheart deals as he’s given his supporters?

Solyndra much?

The very wealthy (Democrats) have him. What more do they need?

Really; he’s just a highly visible black guy panhandling among highly visible wealthy white people, then spouting his BS. He is just a variation on the hobos around Newark NJ’s Penn Station, begging for money while barely suppressing his racial animosity...

It sure is a dilemma for them. I mean, having to endorse and encourage a higher minimum wage to get low information voters on the team, and then have the problem of how to keep a cheap illegal workforce while at the same time trying to get THEM legalized so they can vote and THEN they would have to deal with new former-illegals-now-legal wanting that same minimum wage.

I’ll tell you it is a vicious cycle. Those Democrats really have a tough time keeping all the different promises in line. Sucks to be them.

The reason Obama won't release the funds ($250 mil) is because Snyder won't give $100 million of it to the completely unrelated Detroit pension funds.

Canada is paying the total cost of the bridge and hiring Americans for construction. They've already started construction and the clearing of land on this side of the bridge has already started. Basically, Obama is insulting Canada and punishing Michigan for thwarting his will.

Well that’s for damn sure. Ma and Pa Kettle are getting zero on their savings while the mega banks are getting free money from the fed, investing it a 3% and making a killing risk free. At the same time median family income is down 8% since the Prince arrived while the Buffetts and Gates of the world have seen the net worth soar. Obama is a joke and the press is a sore on a lepers ass.
