Re: Wow! talk about off topic !!!
Wow!!
Off-topic on the first post. You're good.
You really should learn more about economics instead of false right wing talking points. Why is a poor person spending money "squandering" but a rich person spending money job creation? You do realize the rich spend a less percentage of income than the poor don't you.
Learn basic economics then try again.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Wow! talk about off topic !!!
You are just proving you have no idea how economics works or what reality is for tha matter.
When poor people(there are millions more than rich people) spend their money there is no effect on the economy? Where does that money go? Also, studies show that people on public assistance have a lower drug use than society as a whole. Facts suck I know. Who makes the beer, provides cable service? That is exactly what we want people to do with their money in order to have a healthy economy, buying good and services. Trickle down does not work, never has.
If a millionaire spends $100,000.00, that person has spent only 1% of total worth, but it might be 100% of income.
Yes and $900,000 is locked up in investments and not working to help the economy. Thanks for making my point. If 1,000,000 people making $30,000 spend all of their income, how much does that add to the economy?
Really bud, think things through and study economics just a little bit. The right wing faux noise machine is lying to you.
Then again if you have any real evidence for your views please present it.
ABE
Oh yeah 100,000 is what percent of 1,000,000? If you don't understand basic percentages how can you expect to understand economics?

Re: Wow! talk about off topic !!!
Go ahead and post your unevidenced crap in an appropriate thread or create a new one. You obviously need some lessons in economics. But then again willful ignorance is difficult to overcome.
This thread isn't about the failures of the current administration
And the obligatory right wing swipe at President Obama. You are a piece of work aren't you?
