In fact, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
If you believe that buying from a business helps business succeed, then you understand that the rich benefit from a growing and working middle class and why republicans don't want tax increases on anyone.

This is true

The economy was great under Bush for six years, until the democrats took over congress. It's been in the dump every since.

Not one of these "Facts" are true. where do you come up with such nonsense?

My fellow liberals, we are wrong! We need to let the wealthy hoarder cash, and give them the tax breaks, hell they don't even deserve to pay taxes. We should cover all thier bills from now on and also give them our cash from being good consumers. Wealth distribution is a disease, the thought that the little man can't support himself is a mental disorder and can only be cured by starting wars, limiting funding on education, letting wall street take the largest bets it can make, and large tax breaks for the wealthy. Only then will America get back on track to the "glory" days aka the days where inequality was less noticed. You are a damn communist if you believe that wealth shouldnt only be held by the top 1%.

Sincerely, BMOREBOY
To my fellow liberals.

It is 100% republicans fault they have done about about 50 filibuster voted 33 times to kill the new healthcare and failed every time. Every time Obama has give them his jobs bill they just basicly put in a paper shredder. Republicans do not give a rats ass to help the country get back on track Look at what Romneys plans are to fix this country none his plans make the country worse. Do you remember this

Obama attacks Romney trying to denigrate him.
Obama denigrates business people, so what's that tell you?

He is compensating or should I say (taking the light off) his own failings.
