‘Push the rate down to 15% for C-corps and S-corps’

Why not do the same for all businesses instead of just these two specific groups?

how about non-incorporated businesses, LLCs, parnerships?

Now they’re floating stealing my money via negative interest rates.
Which means it’s just a matter of time before they do it.

...stealing my money via negative interest rates.

Yeah I feel that way too sometimes but I have to remind myself that while I'm important to me I'm just not quite that important to others.  We need to keep in mind that the amount of interest payment that a borrower and loaner agree to is merely what it is, and it has nothing to do with "stealing" our money.

Chase will be very unhappy when I close my account and invest the money in energy companies.

...Bernie Sanders is right about one thing. Banks are bigger now than they were before the bailouts...

...people QE benfitted were the too big to fail banks and the 1%...   ...PROFITS WENT TO THE 1%...

The line of thinking I see here is that Fed-bashing seems to go along with hatred of banks and businesses.  That, and it's all part of a loony Marxist agenda.

Thankfully, wine is holding steady.

Isn't that wonderful? IMO, the wine industry is one of the last bastions of capitalism in the US.

If you like a white wine that's on the sweet side, I recommend a Piesport Spatlese or Auslese. IMO, Piesport gets a bad rap, particularly the Michelsberg vineyards. These wines meet the government specifications for terms such as Spatlese or Auslese.

You can usually buy a bottle of Auslese for around $15. A similar vintage from a "name" town such as Graach or Urzig will fetch upwards of $40-$50.

Don't get me wrong...I love all Mosel wines, it was my home for over four years. So many fond memories of dozens of winefests, and hours of conversation with my favorite vintner in Zell-Merl.

This is a lie. Just because something’s been repeated over and over (by the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and others) doesn’t make it true.

It’s not a lie. They pay taxes but they get so many subsidies, they end up even on the balance sheet. The consumer always ends up paying their taxes in the end.

“The consumer always ends up paying their taxes in the end.”

Say it ain’t so. Businesses pass their taxes on to the consumers. Always has been and always will be.

What are you talking about? You’re happy choking economic growth in the country?

Market seems to be following oil. Never has. Or is it commodities in general?

Used to be when oil went down other things went up. Oh wait, that was when we used to make things.

I’m interested in free and open commerce not crony capitalism. Those companies are highly invested in our government.

Show me the balance sheet. Publicly traded companies by law have to file all kinds of documents. It should be easy for you to produce the balance sheet.
