Where would they go with it? CD's or money market accounts?
No way a working person should pay a larger percentage taxes on their earnings than someone just moving investments around.

It's called 'confidence in the economy' and people and businesses can feel it.

Ok. Immediately after the election republicans flipped their view on the economy. The same economic indicators were seen as positive when under Obama everything was terrible. Republicans are idiots, so yes I guess if half the country starts viewing the same facts as positive that they once viewed as negative it will impact consumer confidence. The economy didn't change, just morons started believing in what was happening in reality.
yea they do.
obama lovers are idiots as well.

The Obama economy was expanding but very sloooowly. New government signaled pro growth direction with more future "take home" profits. Its like letting your stud quarterback open up the offense a little bit.

You can look at the polling to see there is not an equivalence. After the election republicans view of the economy went up ~40 points, democrats went down ~10. There is still a partisan effect but it is much more dramatic on the Republican side.

Insane anti-immigration policy is not pro growth. Anti-free trade is not pro growth. The change in view of the economy is entirely partisan, not related to policy.
what your saying is probably true, but obama was awful for the average american worker.

I'll agree he didn't address income inequality. That's a huge problem that will need a huge solution. The market isn't going to fix it.

1) illegal immigration is a drain on the economy. controlling that cost is sensible government.
2) its not anti free trade, it is anti trade imbalance - leveling the playing field will help this economy grow
it makes sense and therefore is not understandable to the liberal.

He's anti-immigration illegal or otherwise. Economists agree we need more immigration to increase GDP growth.
He's anti-free trade, dropped out of the TPP negotiations, doesn't like NAFTA, wants to increase tariffs and start trade wars. Protectionism will not grow the economy.

The U.S. is not anti immigration. If your not a fan of the constitution or a market economy please stay where your at. If your country is such a wonderful place why you leaving?
