Is the biggest lie that cons want everyone to believe that "businesses are struggling"?

while the records are showing record all time profits overall for companies?

"we can't raise minimum wages, because we're barely making it"... meanwhile, they're making more money than ever...

somewhere along the way, they figured out that MOST PEOPLE have no idea if the company is doing well or not and they can just say they're "about to go under" even when making record profits...

unfortunately... some people are paying attention...

Update:

Aquarius Supremacy: so you're telling me that the current situation is one where the economy is so healthy that large companies are making record profits... but so bad that small businesses are about to go out of business?

large companies shouldn't be making record all time profits if the economy is that bad... it's just really, really bad logic..

and that's not to say that all conditions impact both sides equally, but to the point of one booming and the other perishing? I dont' think so

    Cons are correct that small business' are doing poorly, and big business is doing great. Where they are wrong, is in thinking that by making business conditions better for the big companies, that little companies will thrive.

    You're talking about large corps on the stock exchange.

    We're talking about small businesses.

    Yes. The big corporations are making record profits and STILL telling the workers that there isn't any wealth to "trickle down".

    No. You just aren't smart enough to distinguish between big corporations and small business.

    You are talking about the large companies, not the small and mid sized one who are the heart of our economy yet, their numbers are still shrinking. You also don't address why those large companies are letting that capitol, sit on the sidelines collecting dust as opposed to putting it to work to make more money. As they have done in the past and is what, they are in business for in the first place. You're also not addressing the billions that our government is pumping in, creating another bubble, that will end just as badly this time as it did the last.

    You really need to learn about mom and pops and all small business. We weren't aware you needed a explanation.
