he tried to change them but republicans had enough votes to stop him, he wanted to give less to the rich and more to the middle class on down Republican made the choice, let the rich keep their tax cuts or no one gets any tax cuts
Obama had overwhelming power in both houses. What the heck made you claim he was that weak? Why do Democrats so hate the rich? Maybe tell me why you do?
Obama increased the tax rate on small businesses using the pass through method by 10%. These businesses employ ~ half of US workers.
Modern liberals claim that economic success is evil because it must be the result of social injustice. They turn good into evil at every chance they get.
That Bezos, Gates, and Buffett worth more than the bottom 50% of Americans isn't healthy for a democratic republic based on a capitalist economic system.
Why ?? We actually need more of these billionaires who create wealth, create jobs, pay taxes, and give their money away to charity. Capitalism is what created this wealth and the accruing benefits. They should be treated as heros for their accomplishments. How many millionaires came out of Microsoft ?? Why is that not economically beneficial ?? A university trained economist should be able to understand that.
Pathetic attempt! You can't fund one source in support. You could try something like the productivity pay gap. However, that isn't about a lag indicator. Its about market failure.
Q2 real gdp growth was 4.2%. The economy grows in two ways: population growth and productivity growth. population growth in the US is ~ 0.7% per year. Therefore productivity growth for Q2 is 3.5%
Success stories like those of Jobs, Gates, Besos, Buffet, Forbes, Bloomberg, have been taking place for centuries. We need more of them. Instead the modern left assigns evil to these people because they simple mindedly think that success is only possible because of social injustice.
Provide one that says wages lag compared to employment. Crikey, even right wingers like Friedman only assumed adaptive expectations, reflecting the impact of money illusion on nominal versus real wages
Use Google to "discover" that wages/income is a lagging indicator. BTW I've never made the claim that wages lag compared to employment.
ah, so you have to cherry pick a dataset to try and support your argument. Well, that doesn't work, and is incredibly dishonest. So, thank you for admitting you pulled your numbers from your ass.
Can you read a graph? Q3 grew at 3.4% annually. By your reasoning, if the population hadn't grown, the economy would have grown even less.
