Do any of these old Corporate arch-rightists have any SOLUTIONS to the mess they created?
I mean ones that do NOT involve the following phrases:

tax cuts (especially top-heavy ones)
deregulation
job offshoring
cut social programs
cut benefits
wage reduction

I hear old right-wing fossils like Bernie Marcus spout his unquestioned, unchallenged talking points on CNBC . . . "The kids voted for 'change' and that change was unemployment", "every regulation costs jobs", "Obama and his administration are a kingdom unto themselves", "There are no jobs for kids coming out of college"

Yeah yeah yeah, whatev. You hate Democrats, Democrats are the devil, Democrats are hostile to business, those mean ol' Democrats are preventing me from being as big a selfish and overpowering wealthy fuck as I can be, blah blah blah blah BLAH. What are your SOLUTIONS? I don't want to hear your "15 minutes hate". Since you're experienced and seem to know everything there is to know about running a business, here's my challenge:

Come up with a winning economic solution that is NOT Zero-Sum.

Think they can do that? I honestly don't think they CAN.

I'm so TIRED of this. When is someone ever going to CHALLENGE these right wing bastards in a public forum to come up with economic solutions that DON'T involve ANY of the phrases above? Why can't someone expose them? The internet can only do so much. Economists and commentators on our side; on the side of truth, logic and fairness, aren't getting their voice heard.

1. Sure, move to the Democratic party and infect it with the same idiocy..
I've been watching the center of political gravity on DU move further and further to the right ever since 2008, I'm sure the process is by no means over..

2. It's not the job of "old Corporate arch-rightists" to offer solutions
to the mess they have created. Their only job is to make more profits by hook and by crook.
If the situation gets too bad at home, they'll take their money and run. This is the sole
reason for their existence: Money and the power that goes with money, and to hell with
everyone else.

4. Yes, the lower 90%.
You know, only those insignificant people that do stupid little things . . . like buy their products, create demand, keep them in business, keep this little capitalist monster propped up . . .

Let us go under . .. no big deal.

Who wants to yell "TIMBER!"?

6. unfortuantely, they do consider us insignificant
because they have the whole wide world as their market and they can expand away from our insignificant asses.

7. Exactly. This is all going according to their decades-long plan.
Generational wealth also means generational planning.
