Cool. Democrats are morally and economically bankrupt.

[Sharpienads]

Those people are a bunch of idiots.

The smartest one was the lady that said she didn't know enough about the topic to form an opinion. I can respect that.

[T-Giv]

This just pisses me off.

[spqrzilla]

Amazing amount of stupidity.

Why is it that some people equate profit to stealing?

[flan7211]

I love how both parties let their bases think one thing and then govern the other direction. Corporate profits paid for Obummers election last time.

Lack of education and/or common sense.

Lack of education and/or common sense.

He backs down to only a cap on profits with many of the people, and they agree. I remember learning in high school around 2000 that most Fortune 500 companies only made a profit of 5% or under. I think Ford was in the top five at the time. I don't know what the common profit margins look like now, but I bet he could have convinced most of the people in the video to cap profits at only 25%.

For the 2012 Fortune 100, average of 6.8%. For the top ten, 6% even. Company size based on revenue and profits are before dividends. Standard deviation for the 100 is rather high at 7.7%.
