        @WSJ -The rich invest, they don't buy the bulk of the economy 's production. With wages stagnant, too little demand, the economy languishes.

        @Rich_893 @WSJ money velocity is near zero because of debt growth. Welcome to 30 years of deleveraging and stagnation. Become a vulture

        @RegginWej @WSJ @WhiteHouse @POTUS don't let him fool you. The economy is just as bad as in '08. Inflation is what's stealing wages.

        @WSJ Obamacare causes <30 hr work weeks so part time wages which will never have the same affect as 40 hr full time wages

        @WSJ @EricMorath "solid job gains"? You mean part time jobs that people have to get to make up for inflation and an awful economy?

        @WSJ @EricMorath trying to compete internationally against markets that pay a couple $s a day in wages will do that.

        @WSJ because what company will increase pay unless they have to. The bottom line is their only concern.

        @nytonyv @WSJ because companies are just magical full of money? And can just increase their prices to cover higher wages? No competition?
