The job creators are the middle class and poor, there represent 90% of all consumers. Without customers, no business adds any jobs, when all gains from growth go to the top, the overall economy suffers. That's what's happening right now.

If your "savings" is in CVX stock, it won't be appreciating. The stock market in general will flounder slightly up and down for another 18-24 months and maybe longer. Keep sitting on your ass and watch your economic future go down the drain. Else, wake up and get busy.
You go kick start the economy. I will continue sitting on my ass letting my savings appreciate.
That's a funny one, @1gbr. Very true how Uncle Sam brings us back to reality every year.
Your new economic life starts after April 15, 2016
I've kick-started my own economy. I retired earlier this year with a 1-year severance check, my mortgage paid off and no debts. My new economic life starts on Jan 1, 2016.
I totally agree. The US has lost its manufacturing base to China, India and Mexico. There are pros and cons to this. The Pros: Cheaper products (not necessarily cheaper quality), less pollution in the US. The Cons: Fewer good paying factory jobs, lower taxpayer participation.
Look at what you got and gave for Christmas. The only economy we are kick starting is the one in China. Thank you Congress.
Who is "we"? Got a mouse in your pocket? If the ME consumes its own product, jobs are lost. If people buy from the ME, jobs are created. You guys got greedy. Shale oil. Never a long term solution. You drilled anyway. Damn the torpedoes. There is only one source of this problem and you are it. Who managed that brilliance? Made your bed now lie in it.
