"American businesses earned profits at an annual rate of $1.659 trillion in the third quarter…That is the highest figure recorded since the government began keeping track over 60 years ago."

How can this be?

  Basically what you are saying ,is that democrats are too stupid to run a successful business become a white shoe lawyer or pay any of the taxes that support the economy.
  
  Good for you.

    Nah, more like Dems would rather limit their profits so that others may benefit, i.e. hire 10 people for 50K as opposed to one CEO for 500K. Oh wait, that's not even CLOSE to enough money for a CEO.

    I'm certain some poor schlub of a CEO only makes 500K…probably many…and I'm sure they're as heartbroken about it as I am- poor dears. The outrageous profit and compensation we hear about at the large corporations boggles the mind– what I could do with 50 million+ dollars a year! ( After I buy my new baby clothing, of course. See her picture below!) After a while, unless you are giving it away to help others…what good is all that surplus ?
    
    Not certain if I remember how to add pictures…. our new baby Bella ( actually- my daughter's baby )

    Oh, she is still around… but she isn't my daughter's dog. No fun, ugly- you know the kind- not very poodle-like. She refused to dress up-wasn't interested in dog bling. No matter how many tiaras you screw onto her head…nothing detracts from that horrific under bite and impossibly frizzy, orange hair. Eh.
    
    The two are getting along fine…although this little dog must think she is in charge…steals the food and toys right out of the 8 year old poodle's mouth. Jumps up, steals and runs. Itty little xxsmall-outfit wearing dog is a bully. Only two days home and giving everyone the business. I've already informed Miss Bella that *I* am in charge and if there is going to be any stealing…I'll decide who, what, where and when. The nerve! I do like when I walk into the room and all the living beings flip on their backs- feet in the air- gotta maintain the status quo no matter how cute the little pip-squeak

    Have your daughter take her to obedience training, that way she won't become another "Mini-Roxanne". They are all cute when they are puppies, even the pitbulls and rottweilers. Something about the eye to face ratio makes them especially cute to women because they resemble human infants. Other than that, yeah she's pretty cute.

  I believe that the rank and file repubs have been seriously duped. As it is now, the wealthiest 20% hold about 84% of our country's wealth. The gap widens, and more and more will be left behind.
