By and large, they chose to be Freidmanite Republican bastards instead of philanthropic responsible entities who cared more about their company and country's long term economic health rather than lining their own coffers aided by politicians lining their own coffers.
I mean, whoever thought that an economy almost entirely centered around war, insurance, drugs, non-renewable and finite energy and speculative financial instruments (almost all of which is unstable, risk-based and centers entirely around profit and wealth concentration . . . at the TOP) would blow up in our faces? I mean, it's not as if this ever happened before 2001-2008!!! Oh wait. IT DID.
Slow, taxed, regulated and boring is the best way.
Once again, does everyone want this economy to get better?
Employ us. GAINfully. Stop the goddamned mass firings. Firings are not helping. Firings in even one company will cause the rest of us not to spend. We're not buying anything because we're tapped out and scared. Scared people are not good for your business. CEOs buying luxury items, like other companies, and firing all of their workers does not help the economy. I don't know what sort of clue-by-four needs to be administered to their heads, but they need to have one soon.
Also, don't toss this "lower my taxes" bullshit at us. I don't pretend that empty wallet is going to get filled with lower taxes. It will get filled by a raise. It will be spent with a raise. Multiply this by 200 million, and you got yourself an economy again.
