Corporate Profits Hit Record High While Worker Wages Hit Record Low

By Pat Garofalo on Dec 3, 2012 at 9:25 am

A constant conservative charge against President Obama is that he is inherently anti-business. However, businesses keep defying the storyline by making larger and larger profits, rebounding nicely out of the Great Recession.

In the third quarter of this year, “corporate earnings were $1.75 trillion, up 18.6% from a year ago.” Corporations are currently making more as a percentage of the economy than they ever have since such records were kept.

Corporations made a record $824 billion in profits last year as well, while the stock market has had one of its best performances since 1900 while Obama has been in office.

You really oughta step outside Fox News bubble sometime, Dan — you’d be amazed at what you find . . .

To Richard…. Corporate Profits are NOT at an all time high. Certain companies… Apple or cellphone companies… They may be very profitable but banks or car companies… NO, they are not as successful as 2007 in general.

I must school you on Economics 101…. without profits, no taxes are paid!!!!! There is a marketplace and it is your consumer choice to spend least, middle or higher on a product ( tablets)… Kindle up to Apple iPad… it is not the requirement of the seller that they all be the same price, nor make zero profit!!!!! YOU fool.

@Dan Clayton EXCUSE ME Dan— on the contrary, it is YOU who needs to turn on YOUR brain. FACT: corporate profits are at an ALL TIME HIGH, are they not? Where do you think all that $$$$ is going? Hint: it certainly is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT getting passed on to us consumers in lower prices!

Fox Nation Headline, “Obama Re-election Layoffs Continue,” Under Banner Citing More Jobs and Less Unemployment!

Dan Clayton: “The headline is correct!! You at NewsHounds are
foolish and wrong to misrepresent reality . . . The guy is purposely trying to kill the country with his bloated spending and not solving ANY issues.”

Who’s got cognitive dissonance? ^{^ THIS guy! ^}

.

Corporations in some cases put off their layoff decisions hoping for a different election outcome. When that did not happen, with increased taxation
coming and Obamacare… operating costs will rise.

The headline is correct!! You at NewsHounds are
foolish and wrong to misrepresent reality. So, you
think Bush should be blamed going forward some more!?! For another four years. Turn on your brain sometime soon… I wouldn’t vote for Obama
for a local city council or Mayor position. The guy is purposely trying to kill the country with his bloated spending and not solving ANY issues.

@lakeview greg. To borrow a quote from Desi Arnaz (as Ricky Ricardo)….Jesse has got a lot of splaining to do.

I wonder what the Faux Notion peeps think of their dude Jesse Watters giving 500 dollars to help re-elect President Obama?
