Whenever the DUmp discusses economics, you can be certain it won't take but a second for their attention to focus on how they hate everyone who has more than they do. Class envy is what fuels democrat politics:

The World's Economic Problems Can Be Summed Up In One Sentence
But first let me tell what it's NOT.
It's NOT about Poor People getting too much government assistance.
Or taxes being too high.
Or Old People getting too much social security.
Or the "lazy" jobless getting too many benefits.
Or too much education.
Or not enough education.
Or the Deficit.
Or the National Debt.
Or People of any Color, Religion, Race, Creed, Sex, Orientation or Lifestyle
IT'S ABOUT TOO MUCH MONEY GOING TO TOO FEW PEOPLE!
I love football but when a Super Bowl ticket goes for $288,000 and people out of work can't get jobless benefits . . . too much money is going to too few people.
....blah, blah, endless, boring Marxist blah....
When the masses in Egypt live on $2 a day but the Davos crowd in their $2,000 suits sipping glasses of 1990 Lafite Rothschild gushes over the "new normal" or "China Funds" . . . too much money is going to too few people.
Henry Ford . . . HENRY ****ING FORD . . . understood that WAGES had to be HIGH to permit people to have enough money to BUY. Why can't these ****ers get it?
To the economists here, it's about AGGREGATE DEMAND STUPID! There isn't enough of it! And that's because too much money is going to too few people!
It's our money, made off our work, paid for with our sacrifice. We want it back. Give it up. Now.

40. it's always the case where too few people own most of the money & means of production.
DUmmy Hannah Bell, whose avatar is a photo of DUmp hero Karl Marx, is making a bid for 2011 Top DUmmy votes by going the hateful, mean bitch route that worked for proud2bDUmb last year. She needs to blend in some entertainment value, maybe read some DUmmy cali to get an idea. DUmmy cali proves you can be a mean, vicious bitch, and still be entertaining.

57. The fruits of increased productivity can be shared with workers, which increases their disposable income and which increases aggregate demand. Or the fruits of increased productivity can be hoarded by the few and used to provide approximately the same level of goods and services in the economy with the result that there is less need for labor, increased competition for available work and stagnant or declining wages and stagnant or declining aggregate demand.
DUmmy hay rick is hogging the bong.

..was right. IMHO some hackers & all whistleblowers are my modern day heros.
I just mean I'm swamped with all the 'factories are overwith, adapt or die'.
Me;
"No.Factories are booming, but at slave wages and not here -son"
On the bright side, cost of living is still high here. And the rich are fine too! Yay rich!
Thanks for your support, DUmmy upinumbers!

6. It's so easy to understand, why can't the wackos get it???? We can't afford to buy what they are
selling - in more ways than one!
Actually, DUmmy jillan, that's good. It leaves more for us. (Are you another DUmmy who misspelled your user name when you registered?)

134. It IS pretty obvious
That's the reason for the distraction and propaganda though. They have to make "success" and their vast wealth look sacred- the sign of a great mind and impeccable work ethic.
The funny thing is that I think a lot of them forgot that it's an illusion. Lloyd Blankenfeld claims to be doing "Gods Work." Almost all of them think we're too stupid to rule ourselves.
I guess it's the usual thing- the Thugs want to be the King.
Without Google, does anyone have any idea, or even care, who Lloyd Blankenfeld is? But, if he thinks DUmmies are too stupid to rule, he's a wise man.

14. Yes, but that's the way the global system we've created works.
We all want a little more, we all want to rise a little higher. However...
Ultimately it's not sustainable, but the correction from the situation we have now could be painful. Look at Egypt for example...
Nope, sorry DUmmy GliderGuider, but we don't have enough Religion of Peace fanatics.
You and DUmmy nadinbrzszczshscvski won't realize your dream.

37. No, we do NOT "all want" that. Many MANY people are happy with ENOUGH
Not everyone needs more and more. It's the PROPAGANDA that says having way too much of a good thing is BETTER than a good thing. I would like security and a little extra to travel to see my friends & family in other states. I don't care anything about custom designed automobiles and huge diamond rings, the "latest fashions" (which, by the way, fall apart after 3 washings) and such.
In most of Europe, people are surprised at how materialistic Americans are, and the perception is that nobody here is satisfied with a financially secure life surrounded by their friends and loved ones.
DUmmy loudsue misunderestmates Europeans. They, like everyone else in the world, are astounded at our prosperity. DUmmies are always saying "materialistic" when they should say "prosperous". The difference escapes them, because you can't sit on your ass and be either.

80. Europeans appreciate their culture. Americans don't.
Once our culture and not just our possessions are our source of pride, we will work together to make our culture more livable.
Amazing! DUmp democrats detest everything about American culture! DUmmy JDPriestly must have zero awareness of his surroundings.

50. "We had such hope that things were going to get better. How naive that now seems. "
So, so true.
You are so, so stupid.

29. Returning to the tax levels of 1957 would yeild over 700 billion - the first year! Closing corporate loopholes will also help.
Let's hope Obama is serious about that.
An easy place to stop would be to end all loopholes in one bill, then re-institute the "good" ones later.
DUmmy grahamgreen gives us a glimpse into the democrat mind, and it isn't pretty.

EVERYTHING you mentioned in you most excellent rant, is the result of the capitalist system.

45. It is
And I can no longer apologize for it or rationalize it away. It is defective. I am sick of it.
Oh, no! Can capitalism survive the loss of DUmmy TomClash's key support?

92. Nicely done.
Income distribution. That is the reason why the economy sucks and why it won't improve even with all of Obama's lofty speeches. Tax the **** out of these greedy bastards. Roosevelt knew it.
Democrat philosophy in a nutshell.
