How often to people have to keep parroting this stupid bullshit?

They discovered that despite generating $546 billion in profits between 2005 and 2010, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP reduced their U.S. workforce by 11,200 employees over that period.

In 2010 alone, the top five oil companies slashed their global workforce by 4,400 employees — the same year executives paid themselves nearly $220 million. But at least those working in the industry as a whole get paid high wages, right? Turns out that 40 percent of U.S oil-industry jobs consist of minimum-wage work at gas stations.

You were saying?

The ignorance in this country is outstanding. I can see how and why people are enslaved so easily. Create a lie, repeat it enough to where it becomes their truth and way of life.

You spouting this crap is worse than G1 speaking about the stigmatas.

So you gave gotten all of your jobs from poor people?

Successful people are exactly the people who are in a position to employ people and penalizing them is only going to hurt the potential people they could employ.


The lack of common sense in this nation astounds me.

Nice sidestep. Why don't you just admit you were wrong? It's much easier than continuing a lie you've been told your whole life.

You still believe in trickle down economics right?...lol

Companies and the wealthy are the ones hiring people. They are not the people pumping money into our economy. The middle class and the poor are the folks who pump money into our economy. When they get a pay check they use it to purchase goods and services, they do not have the luxury to tuck away that money. Companies on the other hand are attempting to be as cost efficient as possible, they don't actively look to spend surplus money.

I'm a firm believer that more money being spent by individuals will drive demand for products, thus creating jobs. I don't believe giving a business more money to spend will motivate them to create jobs. If companies are forced to keep up with demand and their services are slipping as a result, they will hire people to handle the demand. Empower the consumers and your economy will be active. Empower businesses and they will look to use the money as efficiently as possible. Efficient use of funds does not equate to a strong economy.

good post. Your top section was my arguement to my dad a couple weeks ago when explaining the affect of raising the minimum wage. Folks who make a low wage will essentially have more purchasing power and they spend. AND where do they spend it? The top retailers in the country and usually close within their community.
