Or, our middle class has been effectively destroyed for years, the majority of the wealth of this country is now in the hands of a few, businesses are holding 1.2 trillion out of the economy, our jobs are all overseas, Wall Street no longer makes money by growing strong corporations but by gambling on their success or failure at the expensive of investor funds, corporate CEOS have zero incentive to make their businesses successful for their investors as they still get million-dollar bonuses even if their company goes bankrupt, the days of steady 8-10% investment growth over years of time in 401K's is long gone, and the GOP wants even more tax breaks for their corporate masters, the poor suffering businessmen. Who would make jobs, lots, of jobs, tons fo jobs, if we would just cut their taxes even more, so they would feel ... "confident".
Oh, yeah, and can we disassemble all regulation - workplace safety, employee, EPA, etc. - to make it more convenience for them to do whatever the hell they want with no accountability? Great! Thanks.
