One of the main strategies of the socialist left is pretending everything they want is for the "benefit of society" or
"the greater good"
or to "promote democracy"
its all horsepoop of course-lefties are just as self centered and greedy as anyone and often more so since they demand OTHERS pay for the stuff they want to take credit for
So you have no concern for how important economic issues do indeed impact the greater good?
You have no concern for how important economic issues do for or work against our democratic values?
You have no concern for how important economic issues are or work against the greater good?
I have no concern for what far leftwingers say is good for the country because I know what they want is bad for the USA and bad for our freedom
That is NOT what I asked you.

Most of us on the right from a fiscal perspective were against the stimulus. I dont know what point you are trying to prove other than we shouldn't have spent it. Corporate cronyism is rampant in both parties.
The far left thinks more government in everything is good, which means more cronyism or lessen the impact of government so its got its hand in fewer things.
Oh and look the top 10% makes up 70% of the income taxes on 45% of the AGI.

... which is as expected under a progressive tax system.
I have massive concern for the pestilence of socialism that has been inflicted on our great nation and I worry about how America is deteriorating since the scourge of the New Deal infected this once great nation
Socialism???? you call the pathetic, flimsy safety net that we have socialism?.... the 10 strongest economies in the world all have much more socialism than the US.
All these record profits.. Where are these jobs?
And that is suppose to pass for a long term economic plan for a nation of 311 million people!?!?!?!?!
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Your response in now way shape or from makes any sense with my post in front of it.
I stated very clearly that while profit without jobs may indeed be a goal of business it could NOT be the goal of a sustainable society for 311 million people.
Your reply attacking me made no sense at all.
Huh? The OP states:
So let me get you point straight. The author references income growth IN 2010 THE FIRST YEAR OF THE RECOVERY under the current administration and you blame Reaganomics, an administration from 20-25 years ago. And somehow the ramifications of the ‘80’s policies ‘jumped’ the ‘90’s which saw 20% income growth (per OP link). How does that work? I’m going to need a more detailed explanation of this as it appears you are reverting into your customary ‘Reagaonomics/supply side/trickle-down’ mantra is the reason for all that is bad today
So is Romney not a moderate? He pisses off the fringe on both sides of the aisle and hardcore right-wingers call him a liberal. I don't recall Democrats saying the same thing about their candidate back in 2008.
Isn't Obama in the top 1% too?
For me, hearing conservatives drone about morality and gays and contraception and religion, in this day and age, is more damning than their personal wealth. Personal wealth is an expression of freedom, their primitive opposition to social freedom is what's outrageous.
Yes, while not near as rich as Romney, Obama is in the top 1%. Fortunately, he and many others in the top 1% are smart enough to understand that when too much wealth is concentrated at the top, out of reach of consumers, the economy cannot prosper.
Romney and Obama are pretty much indistinguishable in their actual actions. They may tell a different story but the one that ends up on paper is pretty much one and the same.
For many of the biggies for me, they are very different.
Financial regulation.
Supply side economics
military spending
Climate change
alternative energy
health care reform
And protection of SS and Medicare
I'm still shocked by how many people support the president and his big spending plans in the name of the little guy, when reports like this prove that big spending has the opposite effect.Here, top earners are benefitting from government spending and yet every liberal and socialist is jumping on the grenade, screaming see it works!
Same
Same
I've seen nothing here to make me think they are not the same. (remember, we are speaking about Romney, not Gingrich or Santorum)
He might wish to be able to do some things different but this is similiar to voting for Ron Paul because you want a return to the gold standard. It's not going to happen.
Romney will be just as happy to shovel buckets full of money to campaign donors as Obama.
LOL, Romney was doing health care reform back when Obama was still wet behind the ears.
eh? Obama has been argueing for continued reductions in the S.S. tax further bleeding it dry. I think you are just gullible.

Romney has proposed more spending than Obama, I don't know why you would be surprised people would want the smallest spender.
Wrong. "Senate Republicans, united in opposition to the Democrats’ legislation to tighten regulation of the financial system, voted on Monday to block the bill from reaching the floor for debate."

You haven't been keeping up with the news then:
I prefer the guy that is taking steps to combat AGW rather than one that refuses to admit it exists, but that's just me.
Thankfully, most do not suffer from your bias here.
Really, Romney is for a single payer system???
The kind of reform Obama is planning is to raise the FICA cap and cut payroll taxes. Romney wants to raise payroll taxes and decrease benefits.
Thanks, but no thanks!
We've discussed this. 1. Romney isn't a Senator and 2. when Obama could have done something he did nothing. Just like Romney will do. Nothing.
Obama is itching to pull the trigger in Iran. He knows that if he does, it means he loses in November so I imagine it will wait until after the election. That will mean nothing getting cut. (you will likely cheer this on also)
$50 lightbulbs only take steps to fill Obama's campaign coffers, not do anything for the ecology.
