Corporate Profitability at Six-Year High
Posted: Aug 1, 2017
Make sure you read everything so you will understand. I expect to get flamed for this, but I really don't care. Enjoy! #MAGA;
Well, take it as you want. What does corporate - profits at six-year high
[ In Reply To ..]mean for you and me? No, I was not spoon fed by Obama to believe that is a bad thing, as Rush Dumbau says, I just want you to explain how bigger profits for corporations helps you or I, unless you are a top 1% person. I haven't seen my wages go up, prices are still rising for me to buy things, I don't see anymore jobs out there than I have seen. I see corporation bonuses getting bigger and Wall Street pockets getting fuller.
Maybe my 401 will grow, but that happens all the time, then it will drop. That's just how it works with those.
I am not knocking the profits but just want to know how it benefits the middle and lower class.
Could protectionisms being removed have anything to do with it? Probably as you supporters think that is a good thing. Now they can go back to screwing us and the environment and make bigger profits without having to worry about screwing us and the environment.
Time will tell on how well we all fare from corporate profits jumping.
There, now you go ahead and flame away.
The cynic says "you didn't build that" but the reality is that - all businesses are either dying or being
[ In Reply To ..]renewed continually if you are static and not trying to improve. Socialism is cynicism, and cynicism cannot encompass that reality. Socialism assumes away effort at improvement, and promises quality health care or whatever when quality is impossible even to maintain, let alone improve, when socialism cannot allow individuals to seriously profit by serious efforts to improve.
Likewise oil production not only will not improve when no one is rewarded for exerting themselves and taking risks in order to increase it, oil production decreases in the absence of incentives to improve.
Awesome. Profits means business are hiring. BTW, - Happy 29th going into 30th year
[ In Reply To ..]Rush. Love ya! I remember the first time I heard him in 1992 in Chicago. I'm thinking, he's saying what I'm thinking. Ben a listener ever since.
Businesses hiring for low wages - CEOs profit
[ In Reply To ..]Nothing new
Go out and start your own then and put your own - money on the line.

Better living through central planning. If you want your - self-governance to be controlled by
[ In Reply To ..]the whims of power politics and be forced to live by the trickle-down government choices forced on you by central planning then the democrats have a plan for you.
"But we are smarter than them, our style of socialism is fair - and superior to theirs."
[ In Reply To ..]No it’s not...Same principles same outcome.
Look at Venezuela. Apparently the UN has starting to accuse the US of some things, so at least they know something is wrong. When they start to blame Israel, then we’ll know they are really paying attention. Worse then worthless organization.
Minimum wage citizens starting business? - If you didn't have any money before now
[ In Reply To ..]You're not going to get any
Go to any small town where a Walmart - is built, or a Lowe's
[ In Reply To ..]and watch the doors board up on all the small businesses around them. This is what has happened to many small towns in the US.
Not for engineering, computer and science degrees. - Not for plumbers and electricians.
[ In Reply To ..]Maybe for jobs that are being taken over by robots.
Love his Rush Revere books. Rush is the person who - opened my eyes to how and why
[ In Reply To ..]the MSM "spins" news. Thank you Rush for expanding my awareness of true reality.
Before Rush was on the air
you had to get the truth by the Spotlight mag or those conservatives on short-wave.
if you are getting your "news" from short-wave radio. - hawtmk
[ In Reply To ..]...you might want to ask why that was.
It was during the 1960's, not recently. My dad - opened my eyes to how biased
[ In Reply To ..]reporting was back then, especially about the Vietnam War.
He opened my eyes to the biased media when journalism - was pervaded by stories of how
[ In Reply To ..]unprepared our military would be when Iraq invaded Kuwait. In fact, it was presented as FACT by the Big 3 networks. It was depressing and scary. It was the post-Vietnam apocalypse mentality that was entrenched in the system.
Then, one day while driving through New Orleans, I heard this guy named Rush Limbaugh talking about how the military would in fact crush Iraq....about bombs and technology advances the media was not reporting. It was a positively upbeat assessment of how the U.S. military would do.
Of course, we now know he was spot on. The media was shown for what they were and are.
In college we used to listen to shortwave radio. You could - pick up all kinds of places
[ In Reply To ..]Radio Havana, Voice of the Andes, AFR, Voice of Belgium, and a bunch of others from around the globe.
I started listening as an alternative to NPR which gets funding from - the government which is taxpayer
[ In Reply To ..]funded propaganda.
Thanks for posting this. What many anti-capitalists - don't realize is the reason we have
[ In Reply To ..]globalization is because other countries have adopted capitalism and with the Internet they can sell their products.
They never learn that socialism and it's big brothre - communism don't work and
[ In Reply To ..]they'll never learn why until they realize that there are more human traits than just love, compassion, empathy, “We Are The World, We’re Ignorant Children”
CEOs are "bad" but all leftists in government are "good." What a bunch of...
Paging Sean Penn, Danny Glover, and other misc. celebrities
Nobody is saying anything of the sort, but you - keep tooting that message.
[ In Reply To ..]I am not anti-capitalist and neither are the liberals I know. We just know that huge profits for businesses does not mean anything to the working man. It means bigger bonuses for CEOs and the top 1%. Why do you feel they shouldn't reward the workers that made the products that helped them become the top 1%? Instead, they take that profit, give it to their big executives, buy robots to put more workers out of jobs or send them overseas so they can get even more profits. You keep tooting their horn but I bet you won't be invited to their celebration party.

No More Corporate Welfare!Apr 08, 2011
I know it's not realistic to think that we could ever get to the point where people would pay the taxes they are supposed to pay, but that would solve our budget problems and nobody would go hungry.

We would all save money because we would be driving on better roads, not tearing our cars apart, children will be getting a better education and not have to move in with their parents wh ...

HIgh-Speed Rail LinesNov 10, 2010
Click on the link to see where billions and billions of stimulus money would go for high speed rail lines. Note that 3/4 of them do not connect to the rest of the country. They are mostly 'local' rail lines. At the bottom or side of the chart, you can click on each line and see the projected cost of each. In my honest opinion, from reading some of the other newspapers and journals, most of these lines will be so fast, anywhere between 100-236 mph trains, yet only cut 1/2 ...
