Not surprising. Ailes is a businessman and Obama is bad for business. i’m sure a majority of small business owners agree with him.

I am the King . I watch Fox ” News” all day long because I despise their lies , hypocrisy , racism and disdain of our noble leader . I keep the sound off , but I can tell that they are lying because they are Fox ” News ” .

Interesting! from someone who’s hired people to lambaste him before he was elected and continue to defend those who called him name after he was elected. There’s no credibility talking with him or his Boss (Murdoch).

It is good to be the king . I like to disparage the Palin family , especially their little children . It is fair for me to do this , because I hate and fear their mother .

Tonight , while watching the muted TV tuned always to Fox , I will be dining on a Swanson Salisbury Steak dinner , with corn , a square of potatoes and a delightful little strawberrt tort dessert . I have selected Mountain Dew as my beverage this evening , chilled to 47 degrees , in a tall glass with 3 perfectly formed ice cubes .

I’m sure you have no idea what you’re talking about.

As a result of HCR, I have a 35% tax credit on premiums on my employees’ health insurance. And, it goes up next year. That allows me to have a good benefits package for employees. I like that.

As a result of the stimulus package, I paid less in corporate taxes in 2009 on slightly greater revenues, than I did in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005. That allowed me to significantly improve my IT systems. I like that.

I could go on.

I could even say that the business people unhappy with the President are those who are in bed with insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. But, to what end. You’re closed-minded, bitter, unhappy and you hate our president. So, go wallow in your closed-mindedness, bitterness, unhappiness and hatred. You do it so well.

Enjoy your salsbury steak and mt. dew king.

The King is I . While Fox ” News ” spews it’s filth silently in the corner , I enjoy listening to my transistor radio ( with 2 of the best AA batteries ) tuned to a college station which only I can hear . It’s broadcast only reaches 125 yards in any direction . The young lady who takes my request for Keb ‘ Mo tunes at the station constantly must hide her infatuation for me by slamming down the phone and cursing me . Well , time for Shannon O’Bream to broadcast more smears of our beloved , accomplished , young and charismatic leader .

Please don’t blame the President…his only experience is that of a Community Organizer….he is very good at that…you know that “legalize extortion thing”

The only trouble with this experience, business does not run that way…so he is just wondering…wondering what the hell he got himself into I suspect.

Depends on your measure of success. If you mean he gets bills passed throught a House and Senate in which he has super majorities, yes. But when you look closer and see that his administration is fighting to keep extend unemployment insurance benefits while considering raising taxes on employed and productive citizens you have to wonder how success his administration has been in creating an atmosphere conducive to job growth.

If a left or right leaning journalist report on a case,most of the time the facts are not looked into,and you have foxnews and the right wing crying bias and vise versa.I will say investigate the report,if it turns out to be false then it is just that, false,not because the reporter is a left or right leaning. opinion commentators are different matter,even with opinion commentators some come with facts and others make shit up.

Fact: The Real Royal King ask for spoon feeding! (All other what?) Click here for spoon.

Roger Ailes as a News programmer should not be offering political opinions. No wonder Fox News is biased. Their staff must be under pressure to deliver what the head programmer believes.

just like msnbc, tstev

cjd ohio 1, you didn’t even note the CNBC news head programmer’s name because he is not appearing and offering his political opinion. Regardless of that, tit for tat is questionable when one is not following the rule of conduct for News programming.

not playing tit for tat, just saying both stations are bias is all

cjd ohio 1 says:
“how do you know what he means, millionaires and billionaires, did he say that or are you just making it up GBR?”

You don’t pay attention to the news, do you? What do you think Rich is writing about if not extending the Bush tax cuts for people making more than $250,000.00?

cjd ohio 1 also says:
“GBR, you and that gordon clown with the internet radio shit, are two sides of the same coin. the idiot coin”

False equivalence there cjd. I don’t accuse anyone of being a liar unless I can show in explicit detail what, exactly, I mean. You think I’m on an “idiot coin?” I’d be more than happy to sit side by side and take any civics exam against you. Care to compare education levels cjd? I have forgotten more about political theory than you even ever heard of.

cjd?

So if a news station is so biased that the programmer is offering his political opinion, then that opinion is not material. Mr. Ailes would have to admit that he is a head of a political hack job center and then still he has to excuse his opinion because it would be irrelevant.

Because no poor person ever hired someone. Why do you depend on talking points? How am I protecting anyone? It seems like you are protecting government spending. When I have a “debt bomb” coming toward me I cut back, and by cut back I don’t mean by the government definition. You know that they saying they are cutting back if the only increase spending by 10% instead of by 20% (not actual figures just an example). I don’t have the luxury of demanding more money by someone. I just spend less. President Obama’s policies don’t appear to be with the middle class employed and productive citizens (by the way, why did you put that in quotes. When I was unemployed I didn’t consider myself to be employed and productive, was I wrong?). Small businesses will be hammered by a tax increase. If the middle class gets hammered, how can they hire people.

You also mentioned people paying their fair share, what percentage of the income taxes are paid by the top 10% of earners? What percentage is paid by the bottom 40%.

I was watching c-span this morning and they had a tax expert on. He said that if anyone was paying a lot of money in “death taxes” then they had the wrong lawyer or accountant. What does that say about the tax laws? Sounds more like full employment acts for lawyers and accountants.

Want to balance the budget? Do at the Federal Level what you do at home. Don’t spend more than you earn.

Stop talking about the cost of a tax cut. Its a very dishonest statement.

And why are so many in Congress in favor of extending the Bush tax cuts? Because they are helping themselves of course.

Where did I say that? When did I say that? Sure, I favor the extension of unemployment benefits but Congress should assess that cost, and that is a cost since the government is taking money from one citizen and giving it to a person in the country. They should then look at the budget and cut out an equal amount of spending. They shouldn’t be looking for people they can take additional money from. Not taking money from people is not a cost.

Where should they cut? That is a tough decision, it would take carefully study and a lot of hard work to make those decision, but then the people we expect to make these decisions with our welfare in mind did spend millions of dollars to get elected to their jobs. Now they should actually do them and not just look for more revenue when they want to spend more money to buy more votes.

That picture describes fox news and republicans.

paulmdoro said:

When do they get to demand someone else give them more money so they can continue to spend more than they earn? People reach credit limits and have to stop spending.

Do you think the government should raise taxes whenever they feel like spending money?

I don’t “depend on talking points;” I know what the facts are. Companies don’t need money to hire people; they need demand for their products. A tax cut for the rich won’t do that. Extending unemployment insurance will do that. That’s just basic, Keynsian economics.

I’m not protecting gov’t spending; I’m thinking that the gov’t needs to match income to spending. That means raise taxes on those who can afford it and cut programs that won’t effect the economy or safety (security). Senator Hart developed a bipartisan plan that would cut military spending by $300 billion/year.

Then we need a budget surplus which we can obtain the same way Clinton achieved it: raise taxes on those making more that hey need to live on.

One must take any interviewing work or blather offered by Mr. Kurtz with a gimlet eye. This man is to be given no more weight than is due the common stuff of a shameless self promoting media coward. (I might suggest Kurtz differs glaringly here on the lack of sheer character points from Mr. Ailes.) Why the rap? I posted a comment (under a different user name,) on The Daily Beast criticizing foremost and directly a Kurtz column and, as it was, secondarily Fox News among others. The comment was posted and then pulled down a day later without comment. Silly me. I did not know at the time this guy Kurtz was a mover and shaker at the Daily Beast. Now in retrospect it is not surprising that this self promoting, self protecting, butt kissing Kurtz was granted an exclusive interview with Roger Ailes. Anyhow I have since led an ongoing albeit modest boycott of anything that the super sensitive Kurtz or the timid Daily Beast (actually a Beast wannabe) has to say.

Well as important as that is, I’d wager that both your employees and your customers would wish to be associated with a business owner who did NOT go on a blog board and tell a woman (that he couldn’t pick out in a police lineup) that her child is ashamed of her.

I’d guess that they’d wish to have a boss and a colleague who didn’t intimate online that he knew the whereabouts of females who don’t share his politics.

I’m pretty certain that THEY would like that.

Your ideas are bad – and they don’t make sense.

Companies need demand, yes, but they need more certainty too and too much government becomes the biggest risk factor for many industries and business. Many business decisions are multi-year decisions. As the government has gotten bigger the uncertainty has increased.

Along these lines, what we all have to contend with is having an anti-business President. It used to be that even with the growth in government, that we had an Administration that was enough pro-business to give people the sense that the government was there to help.

Obama is terrible in this regard. That’s why a lot of capital is fleeing the country. As more of the rest of the world moves to the Right, so will investment dollars. It’s happening at the state level too as people flock away from highly-liberal states to more normal areas. Look at the states losing population and the states gaining.

As for taxing the “rich”, look up the stats: the top 10% already pay about 80% of the income taxes and the bottom half about close to nothing. Everything is backwards with liberals.

Tell me how the tea party pols now in Congress are not insurgents. in·sur·gent   2. a member of a section of a political party that revolts against the methods or policies of the party. So there was nothing false about “tea party insurgents.” In fact, it sounds like an objective comment so long as your understand English.

I agree.

RichS says:“Because no poor person ever hired someone. Why do you depend on talking points? How am I protecting anyone? It seems like you are protecting government spending.” I don’t “depend on talking points;” I know what the facts are. Companies don’t need money to hire people; they need demand for their products. A tax cut for the rich won’t do that. Extending unemployment insurance will do that. That’s just basic, Keynsian economics. I’m not protecting gov’t spending; I’m thinking that the gov’t needs to match income to spending. That means raise taxes on those who can afford it and cut programs that won’t effect the economy or safety (security). Senator Hart developed a bipartisan plan that would cut military spending by $300 billion/year. Then we need a budget surplus which we can obtain the same way Clinton achieved it: raise taxes on those making more that hey need to live on.

I favor cutting the military budget. I think just about anyone who was in the military, I was in the US Navy, will agree with that.

By the way, check a few of your facts. The countries that have based their economies on Keynesian economics are going broke. I think Thomas Jefferson was closer to the truth about central banks then John Maynard Keynes.

The other fact was that President Clinton did not balance the budget while he had a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate, he did it after the Republicans gained control of the House and the Senate. This supports my original point that divided government works better than having one party control Congress and the Presidency, regardless of the party.

Now, show me how you are not using talking points?

rich$ a sane middle of the road person……………………………….run……run away

RichS, can you name the countries that don’t have economies that is Keynesian based?

RichS, also can you tell me why there is need to borrow from banks to start their businesses if they are rich as you claim, they are? Also why do companies issue shares if rich people are funding them?

I think we can all agree than Roger Ailes is grotesquely obese, ugly as sin and will die of a heart attack.

Well said Cancon2, thats the exact amount of viciousness and nastiness these STUPID LIBS deserve even though we Conservatives are really nice and thoughtful. But are you sure our dear Roger Ailes won’t drop dead of a heart attack first? He a little pudgy even though Stupid LIBS would be mean and call him morbidly obese!

You think most Americans don’t spend more than they earn?

I don’t often agree with you but on this one statement I do. Too many people have, for too long, abandoned thrift and fiscal responsibility, in general. The same can be said for the Federal government and the governments of numerous states.

On another point you made about “iris” and her senseless remarks, I must believe you are at least more desirous of engaging in rational debate of the issues than throwing senseless slurs at those with whom you do not agree. I can appreciate that and will treat you with the same courtesy should I wish to remark about your ideas.

Obama is bad for business and, more importantly, bad for America. As we all know, liberalism ends up hurting people over time so things won’t get better until a) Obama is out of office or b) Obama turns and abandons terrible liberalism.

Right wing is detached to the point ot reality as to not care they were helped. Mainstreet is connected to Wall Street. Unfortunately, Mainstreet does not read anymore, they listen to loudmouths who pander to their darkest beliefs.

Roger Ailes is a lot like Rush Limbaugh, they both owe their souls to the their giant cash flow backers. You could truly call them cash cows or sugar daddys. While they say anything to keep the river of money flowing. The sugar is eating their organs to peices. It is only a matter of time till their opinions are silenced, then we will try to get the facts out to the viewers and listeners that they are entitled too.

Alz says:
“Media Matters is funded by Leftists/Socialist like Soros. By definition, Socialists are against American values. Media matters should be shouted down.”

Actually deceit needs to be “shouted down.” Neither Media Matters for America nor Soros are “socialist.” You are just parroting the far right FoxPAC line which is bull dung.

Liberalism is not socialism. Liberal policies were put in place and stay in place to prevent socialism from becoming a preferable alternative to capitalism.

Now that we have that nonsense of your cleared up, it should be pointed out the extent to which corporations are working to undermine the Constitution. Corporations are not people, yet they have been granted OUR rights. Corporations are undermining democratic order NOW whereas socialists have always been on the margins in America.

Rating make up for loss of income? Only when the ideology trumps business decisions (which they apparently do at Fox Conservative/Reactionary propaganda Outfit.

I offer lots of proof. For here, for now, last week Beck claimed again that Van Jones “is” a communist. WRONG! That is the same as Olbermann claiming that O’Donnell “is” a witch. They were witches.

Your browser issues are not my problem, and your ignorance about the many things that Beck lies about (informed people can hear his lies easily) is also not my problem: these are your problems.

…and fears.

Following is a thought that every American Citizen should try to understand, but News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, Rush Limbaugh and Big Business in general hope to hell that no one, I repeat no, one below a million dollar a year income every understands.
Communist China, because of seeing the Capitalistic workings in Hong Cong before it was turned over to the Chinese Government, producing enormous monetary incomes, caused China to fall in love with Capitalism. They did not fall in love with Capitalism enough to convert “Their Government” to a Capitalistic form of government or a Democracy. They only wanted to enjoy the profits of a Capitalist working society whereby large groups of people, electronics and automated machinery produce enormous financial gains for the Communist Leaders to control and enjoy for their entire life. The regular citizens are not as fortunate.
It’s not hard to understand why Capitalist love doing business with Communist China. They suppress their people and that makes a very profitable playing field for Capitalistic profits. Labor is not only suppressed, for those who oppose the working of society in China, they end up face down in the various rivers.
Labor of all sorts is not a commodity that you dig out of the ground use and destroy, then toss onto to a spoil pile as China appears to be doing.
A thrill is identified as enjoying something crazy, explosive, and deadly at a safe distance. This is why some Capitalist enjoys having some of their work done in Communist Nations. They are enjoying the fruits of the labors of others that are paying a terrible price, sometimes even their lives for opposing the workings of unfair labor practices in that country.
John Maynard Keynes has made it clear, Capitalism cannot survive without inflation. The taxpayer bailout recently saved Capitalism form the excesses of greed profiteering through price inflation at a time when Alan Greenspan should have raised interest rates, bringing our economy to a slowdown instead of a crash, so that we could have had time to convert to solar energy, more efficient autos, new and different products, helping our economy to adjust to the over productivity and under consumption brought about by Capitalist Greed .
When will Capitalist Leaders understand common labor are Capitalist also, and expect a little more than slave quarters and a trip to the bone yard? If everyone doesn’t profit, eventually no one will profit.

There are many links pointing to Van Jones being a Communist and several citing his own admission to the fact. That is not, however, the entirety of the issues with BHO. From his days in Hawaii, his mentors have been communists, socialists, the so-called “progressives,” outright criminals (Ayers, Dorn, etc.), and people who want to destroy the US. It’s all out there for you to see if you choose to see it. If you do not seek to understand why -0bama is a dangerous puppet, I probably cannot change your mind.

As the matter pertains to Fox and its ratings, having been one who has purchased advertising, I have found the best way to gettrade is to put my message out to the largest possible targeted audience. (I know that you know this but I merely state it so you can know that I know it too.) So, when it comes to advertising, if I can get my message out to the largest chunk of my targeted audience (judging by the ratings, this would be FOX), I can be statistically certain that I will benefit most from my advertising dollars. What is remarkable, is the fact that after so many organizations have made concentrated attacks against FOX, there are still many companies lining up to buy ads. So, the revenues are rolling in, in spite of the concerted efforts by numerous organizations who go around threatening to withdraw their custom from FOX advertisers.

Regarding your website: Only AFTER I opened it did I see the pop-ups, meaning that my browser had nothing to do with it. I am fortunate to have anti-virus software that blocks cookies, etc., but I did notice my spam levels increased afterwards. I would check on that if it were my site, and I say this in an effort to help you–not me.

Milton Freidman says differently. Inflation is a function of demand. The law of supply and demand dictates prices. Process expense dictates costs. (Vastly different concepts.) When supply dwindles, prices go up. When processes become more expensive, prices go up. The inverse is true; the first automobiles were very expensive, improved processes and more units on the market brought the prices down. (Unions drove the costs up!)

FOX Rocks.

Inflation is also a function of the worth of a currency; when the currency loses value, inflation sets in.
