There won't be jobs until Obama and Obamacare are gone.

Taxing the rich more is nothing more than giving a junkie one more fix. We need to get off the over spending drug.

The government is losing money by bailing out the rich constantly. It's time for them to repay the government and the taxpayers

There are no golden eggs, which is why the economy is still slumping and there are no jobs. Rich people aren't contributing ****. They are as useful as the "parasites" in the welfare office...

They pay 40% of the taxes and make up a smaller percent of the population.
I think that's contributing more than ****.
 
The economy was fine until Democrats controlled Congress in 2007. Pick any metric from 2006 or even 2007 and compare it to today.

There won't be jobs until the most anti-business government in eighty years is gone.

what will America do without a workforce?:

What will the workforce do, if no one is around to pay them?

See why wealth redistribution won't work?

Labor can't own all the capital, because by default, they're no longer labor.

I'm sorry, but are you blaming the 2008 financial meltdown on the Democrats taking over Congress??

Many of the problems were a mess in the making, long before the Democrats took Congress.
 
The exploding deficits clearly are.

The meltdown was caused by government interference in the housing market.

So paying some taxes with hand while accepting welfare with the other is suddenly contributing? If these people were contributing anything meaningful, and then we'd have more jobs in this country. They aren't even capable of self regulating, and this economy is the result of their failure.

There are very useful entries about logical fallacies on wikipedia. I suggest you use them.

Some of the middle class and lower classes do it.
Why do we hate the wealthier people, when everyone else does it?

You do know that not all wealthy people get bailed out?
Sweeping generalizations are horrid ways of forming policy.
