Do you trust the government to create jobs or you trust the fat cats who want more tax cuts?

The Fat cats they do not think much about the rest of the country like Obama dose. All they care about is how to get most of tax money for free.

Fat cats…. they provide real jobs.

With a government job everyone pays for that person. ENOUGH with government. It needs to be smaller and spend nothing.

Milking the government?
I’d rather be milking some billionaire!

Obama is following his own agenda heavy on paying for political debt with the public treasury.
Our country can’t afford a spendthrift bill anywhere near this cost, no matter what is in it.

You should do some homework and learn who built this country. It was not the government but private business and that is where long term jobs are created. This is not a communistic country – yet.

I really do trust the government more.
There is a certain amount of accountability there.
Fat cats have a lot of money, right?
There is no honest way to make a lot of money.
I can never trust them.
I feel sorry for them.
As soon as we collapse… They become the enemy.
They won’t survive when everything is taken from them.
The government will have to protect them…
After how they have treated us for so long. How hard do you think they will try?
We outnumber them 50,000 to 1 now.

All other jobs will go over seas where they continue to flock for cheaper labor with no benefits!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The “Fat Cats” are the ones employing the rest of us. They’re fat cats because they found a way to be successful. “Dose” that make sense?
Punish the rich and see what happens, costs are passed on to the consumer, or they say screw it and move to another country or close the company down all together. Not worth the trouble and aggravation.
Fat cats are why you can go to the store and get food, buy a computer, listen to music, and go out for bite.

I agree with you

I trust the fat cats to create more jobs that grow the economy. Government jobs do not grow the economy. Further they do not create corporate profit, which is where the vast majority of tax dollars comes from. So it decreases federal income but increased federal cost. It’s …well…stupid.

Don’t think for a minute that Obama is not in the pocket of the rich, because he is. The government has proven that it’s “solutions” are failures.

Based on this information about one of our largest corporations I think it would be very dangerous to trust the “fat cats” to create jobs.
Do tax cuts for corporations really create jobs?
Why “Tax cuts = Jobs” is a lie: Exxon Mobil
The common refrain from any right-winger is that the only way to create jobs is through tax cuts. Any common observer would agree that corporate tax rates have never been more favorable than during the Bush administration. Of course in addition to those tax cuts, a company would also need to profit to create jobs. What is the most profitable company in the world today? Exxon Mobil. Don’t take my word for it. Check out this link.
Top 10 corporate quaterly earnings of all time
1. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2008, 2Q $11.68 billion
2. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2007, 4Q $11.66 billion
3. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2008, 1Q $10.89 billion
4. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2005, 4Q $10.71 billion
5. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2006, 3Q $10.49 billion
6. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2006, 2Q $10.36 billion
7. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2007, 2Q $10.26 billion
8. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2006, 4Q $10.25 billion
9. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2005, 3Q $9.92 billion
10. Exxon Mobil Corp: 2007, 3Q $9.41 billion
Not bad at all. Exxon Mobil must be creating jobs at a record pace. That is what you’d have to believe if you were a right-winger… or brain dead.
I decide to research what Exxon Mobil recorded for regular employees since 1999. I was able to find this information through the SEC filings of Form 10-K for each year.
Form 10-K filings to the FEC for Exxon Mobil
I’ll save you browsing through the documents and list the results below. Prepare to be shocked (or not).
1999 106,900
2000 99,600
2001 97,900
2002 92,500
2003 88,300
2004 85,900
2005 83,700
2006 82,100
2007 80,800
There is no information released for 2008 as yet. So despite the best possible corporate tax rates available and despite record profits compared to any company in existence, Exxon Mobil has cut regular jobs EVERY YEAR of the Bush administration. They’ve cut a total of 26,100 regular jobs during the entire two years Bush was president. almost 25,000 of those before the Democratic party took back control of the house and senate. So anytime some right wingnut says that tax cuts will create jobs, ask them how many jobs Exxon Mobil has created the last 8 years

leave obama alone on this, bush’s 8 year deficit spending spree. fat cats are 1)real estate agents. 2)mortgage bankers 3)homebuilders 4) utility companies. all stood to gain from telling ma and pa that a 3000 sq foot house is too dinky! build a mcmansion!! impress your neighbors and yourself! ma nad pa said i can’t afford it!
banker said oh yes you can! real estate said you can’t live in a slum in a 3000 sq ft house. buy big in a good suburban cocaine kid party neighborhood. bush said burn coal to air condition those behemoths! and drive a BIG suv while doing it. all for 399 a month, first year, later payments subject to increase!!
wow ma, 8000 sq ft and a suv for $399!! where do we sign??!? home depot was happy to add curtains.
now a little socialism may be what america will survive on. capitalism did itself in… unfettered.
so if a fat cat pays taxes, he should smile and pay. as for many like me, $20,000 a year leaves little to set aside for retirement OR to pay taxes. i cry for those poor people making $100,000 and having to pay taxes. boo hoo hoo h-o-o!

I guess you don’t understand basic economics.Government does not produce anything.But yes we can convince the American people that we are the answer to all our problems.

Fat cats -because generally speaking you can count on your job being there no matter who is in office – polis jobs go when they go.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
If they are Crooks, I don’t trust them period! Public or Private.

I think that the economy needs a jolt, but in pristine times the market should be able to take care of itself.
July 6th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
If you opened your own business, would you give your profits to anyone you could help or would you keep your profits? A business is out to profit. Period. It’s the downside of capitalism, that we have those who are poor, but the majority are living a very comfortable life. Under Bush’s administration it was “terror, terror, terror”, now it’s “the economy”. Also, if you were to do your research, you’d find that our country would benefit with tax cuts. With the stimulas package, some will continue receiving their benefits for x amount of time longer, but in the long run, that money is going to need to be repaid, which means tax hikes.
