"Yet, when George W was in office the country wasn't better off." Hmmm. Let's take a closer look...

Bush cut taxes for people who pay taxes. The economy grew at 3-4% per year, and the workforce participation was in the high 60's to low 70's. In Bush's last year in office about 28 million Americans were on food stamps, and the federal debt was $9 trillion dollars. Fast forward: Taxes have increases to pay for legislation that a majority of the country does not want. The economy is growing at an anemic 1.5% per year, and the workforce participation rate is the lowest since 1978 because millions have simply stopped looking. The number of people on food stamps has nearly DOUBLED to 48 million, and the federal debt has ballooned to just under $18 trillion dollars.

This just in: The country was, indeed, considerably better off. Michael, in future posts, please substitute the word "employers" for "corporations", i.e. "One that won't be afraid to take back the country from the larger employers."
