Unemployment at an 18 year low

I guess the 3,000,000+ Americans who received tax cut bonuses don't count either.

The tax plan wasn't about equity. The business tax cuts were about creating new jobs and making it more attractive for companies to create jobs in the US rather than overseas. And the workers would get to keep more of their wages. Any increase in wages, whatever that might be, would be an overall even greater boost to the so-called "economy."

Well as you well know, there are a huge number of Americans who have some exposure to the stock market (and many are not wealthy) so if companies are more profitable, that's good for most of us. Dividends and stock buybacks are good for shareholders. Most of us are shareholders in some way, via 401ks, IRAs, 529 plans, even pensions. True or false?

And what did Obama do, that put more money on the pockets of middle class Americans? In all honesty, I don't know that I know a single person who benefitted from the 750B stimulus plan.
