"Q3 GDP Growth Unrevised At 4.9%, In Line With Estimates
12/20/07

(RTTNews) - The Commerce Department released its final report on gross
domestic product in the third quarter on Thursday, showing that the
pace of GDP growth for the quarter was unrevised compared to the
preliminary estimate.

The report showed that GDP increased at an annual rate of 4.9 percent
in the third quarter compared to the 3.8 percent growth seen in the
second quarter. Economists had expected GDP growth to remain unchanged
at 4.9 percent."

Top 1% controls 40% of wealth in the U.S. Top 10% controls three-
quarters of wealth. Bottom 40% has 1% of wealth. Can you spell CLASS
WAR?

No it hasn't, Ranger. They had 91% marginal income tax rates under
Eisenhower, they spread the money around. That's triple what they are
now.

The "jak/ranger" Group, a large company! Be sure to get your stock
while it's so low.
They're part of the radio hype-sters who sell work @ home scams. (DL/
Lew Bishop & the $AHM crap)
After a do it yourself ice pick lobotomy, they are ripe for
neverending programing & cut&paste:
"Yup....DipShit.....Dork.....DumbAss......Ain't It A
HOOT?.......Heehee......Donchaknow.....

The good news is, anyone sitting on the fence... just have them check
out The "jak/ranger" Group, no one thinks Republican after that. Not
even long time Republicans.

If true, has it occurred to you that the Eisenhower years might have been a
aberration?

But how much "wealth" do the bottom 40% have? If the top people own a
lot of businesses, essentially they are investing, what harm is that to
the other people? Rich people are important to a properly functioning
economy. Someone has to be rich so all the money isn't spent on DVD
players.

Oh, if you're saying that they could use tax shelters to keep most of
their money, you are correct. But tax shelters require that you
invest in socially productive projects: job creating businesses,
development of new technologies, culture and the arts etc. You can't
just keep your money in a mattress, bonds or "safe" stocks like
Microsoft. In other words, the government forces the rich to invest
their money in a socially productive way, not just keep it and hoard
it. Which is largely what they are doing now!
