Of course it's so...how do you account for those profits in the first place? Come on now...profits are good...they can pay dividends to shareholders and they feel SOOOO good to sit on in times of "uncertainty".

Wealth concentration is caused by:
fiat Currency
Debt
Easy Credit
Deficit Spending
Global Empire building

Since 1913 the value of the currency has declined 93%. This is no surprise if you understand how money works. The last time we had this level of wealth concentration the Great Depression followed, The concentration of wealth is not the disease it's the symptom. I have a colleague for another discussion group who is from Switzerland.He's an investment banker and here's what he has to say.

One economic model correctly predicted the problems and the reasons for them.

The real reason that the Austrians are ignored is that so many groups benefit from the corrupting dogma of King Keynes. That corruption in universities now extends so far as to select for Keynsian students because most jobs for economists are government jobs or jobs in businesses that are government dependent.

Since no government wants an economic model that requires the government to stop spending money like a drunken community organizer, no economists who tout the Austrians get hired and therefore, since even an economist must eat, they tend to study Keynes.

A self reinforcing death spiral

KCF,
This new business profits report is(in the long run ) a very good thing. Here's why.
First, the B O SS just got re-elected for ...'4 MORE YEARS' (Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)
Second, the GOP (US House) will start SHRINKING up like a guy with a bad case of AIDS.
Third, I really-really believe..Hillary will Run and Win in 2016.

So in summary,......(Like the Great God of Lyrics/Bob Dylan once wrote) 'The times they are(will be) a' changin' !

This is just beginning to be a fabulous time to be a DEMOCRAT.

Danger...Fiscal Cliff AHEAD...... TICK-TICK-TICK ! : )

Well at least we can't blame Bush for this.

Hopefully by 2016 Bill won't be as popular so that his coattail-riding wife will be the has been she always was. Didn't do a thing for NYS. When she appeared at the State Fair without Bill, even with a record number of people, her security outnumbered the greeters!

And to think that we could have eliminated that "moocher debt" if we'd only let the worker pay keep pace at the rate of CEO pay. Funny thing about xUT's graph...if it weren't for the group on the far left side of the chart, the middle and far right wouldn't have had been able to enjoy THEIR level of increase.

Also....xUT's chart shows ACTUAL figures...your's is show projected figures.

Ding Ding Ding, Dumbass alert.

How is it possible to show actual debt numbers for 2014? That would be like Ms Tree finding Jesus!

PS: the blue color is historical data, while the red is projected for future years. What happened? Get blinded by Al Gore's carbon footprint?

Ding Ding Ding...a BIGGER Dumbass alert...my comments were comparing xUT's chart, which is 1978 thru 2011 (actual data) to dells chart, which PROJECTS debt numbers.

You're right...we won't know the actual debt number until 2014.... And I guess conservatives are admitting in this graph that they are not about to consider any form of tax increase on anybody, and any DUMBASS would know that we can't really adress the debt issue without including REAL revenue increases and not those increases we've heard about in fairy tales....you know where the fairy princess sprinkles her fairy dust on the tax cuts and the revenues increase.

So rather that question why there is such a disparity in the numbers on xUT's graph, we introduce a "debt graph"

What I see is this - the worker has been screwed since the Reagan administration. Yep..I see debt stating in 2007...why didn't you go back to 1999? could it have been because of this?
