Subject: RE: BS: Fact, Not Fiction
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck its a duck, Q... $1.7T in "reserves"??? Bull!!! What do they need "reserves" in that amount for, Q???

I mean, let's get real here??? That is un-invested (hoarded) cash...

But here's the other part of Econ 001 (remedial, non credit): If the corporations are hoarding cash and 400 American families are hoarding 50% of the $$$, then exactly how is it that the US economy can recover and ever see 5% unemployment again???

Well, the answer is: It can't...

This is why we are seeing a jobless recovery... Who is recovering??? Well, the banks are... How can they do that if they are not making loans??? Hmmmmmmm???? The corporations are because they have bought up enough Republican politicians to write bad tax code that makes it more profitable to move their operations overseas while paying little or no taxes here in the USA... If I were in charge, I'd tell them if they don't like it here to get the fuck out and never come back... But, no, they gotta stay here and try to drain the last bit of wealth outta America...

This is reality... Everywhere you look it the greedy rich rigging the deck, buying another congressman... Meanwhile, Joe Sixpack has not ahd a raise in 30 years and that is if he's lucky enouhg to have a lousy job...

This is reality for 300,000,000 Americans, Q... Ya'll can play games over what you call hoarding but, ,like I said, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.......

Tell ya' what... Income inequality brought down Egypt and income inequality has brought about 100% of every revolution going back thousands of years... There's also the other reality and that is once these things start they are like toothpaste... They don't go back in the tube to easily...

Now you can play the "reserves v. un-invested cash" games but that's all it is... Games... Every other proletariat society had it's own lingo to make them feel all righteous and free of guilt... History is replete with examples...

You are fooling no one... Just as all the others...

Bottom line: If you don't like it here then get the fuck out and go live where ya'll are exploiting other people... Go live in China... Or Pakistan... Or Bangladesh... Just leave *US* alone if you're not into trying to make ***THIS*** country succeed...

Right now... All I see the rich doing is trying to rig the deck to make it fail!!!

Square business!!!
