CORPORATE PROFITS


WAGES AS PERCENTAGE OF THE ECONOMY

Right now they're trying to come up with a spin that's disgusting enough to bear the Republican label.

There were some scandals over the last couple of decades with the SBA, something about "small business"es that got favorable loans were not so small, but were in fact rather large corporations.

Undoubtedly Romney would put his own personal spin on the loan programs, and what he means by reduce "red tape" but I'd guess screaming "small biz" is in fact a coded message that means something quite different than helping sole proprietors, mom & pops who have one or two employees.

Whenever they throw a tantrum because government legislation or union bargaining negations don't go their way, they can simply invest in hedge funds.

A nice avenue to punish the working class when they misbehave. Almost as fun as gambling in Vegas as well. Seven hundred trillion is the latest notional value i have seen. Meanwhile, the government is a relatively small (compared to hedge funds) 14 trillion in debt and "entitlements" must die because of it.

The Capital strike is a highly effective tool when unregulated derivatives can be invested in via unmonitored e-mail. The "job creators" can find an easy means to invest in "no jobs" instead.

This explains the record profits with little job growth. It is all very simple. The "job creators" are not investing in jobs. Of course the "dumber than a box of rocks" press is just as fooled as the typical American citizen. The press even came up with a slick new moniker. They called it a "jobless recovery".

Because the government does not invest in derivatives, their funds are almost always providing job creation. But the "job creators" hate this as well. It makes their capital strike much less effective and they don't want to be taxed to pay for job creation anyway. Thats right. Not only do the "job creators" not want to create jobs with their own money, but they don't want to be taxed by the government to create jobs either. Especially when that tax money can be used as an incentive to bribe them in to creating jobs. Of course the GOP puts a slick description to it. They call it an "incentive" to "lure" business.

Local governments "lure" Walmart with new streets and street lamps. Throw in a tax break as well. Mom and Pop stores aren't big enough to lure. They have to pay full price. On a state level, "incentives" are used to "lure" business from other states. It quickly becomes an "arms race" between several states and in the end, all states are losers because all of them have provided discounts to "lure" business in. On the Federal level it is similar, except that big business must be "lured" back home from foreign countries or "lured" from the much more entertaining hedge funds.


Then there are the over producers. They need to be paid not to produce. Corporate farms typically enjoy this subsidy. We certainly can't have them invest in something else that might "lure" them away from farming an overproduced crop. We must pay them to keep them right here. Of course you can thank your local Congressman for his influence in "keeping them here" as well. Yes....he did it by giving them "incentives".

In unison these politicians tell us that we will "grow our way" out of recession and the best way to do it is with "incentives"

Incentives are actually middle class money. The 30% tax rate that we get deducted from our salary. Good lord....the "job creators" certainly can't pay that much. They will lose their "incentive" and they will never be able to "grow" us out of this mess.

It isn't like the old days where big money went into manufacturing and investments in industry.

Today's big money treats companies like commodities to short.

Seems he is suggesting they avoid paying American taxes.. How patriotic of him....Shows he has great love for this country...
