Absolutely right, Geoff! Most people (and certainly not Obama) have a clue about what it really costs to run a business. If Corporate Profits are to be shared with the American worker, then ALL the costs of running the business should be shared as well, including the costs of all union and non union employees and their benefits.

Maybe the American worker will learn that profit is not as much as they thought...by a LONG shot!

They are shared. Wages cut, people laid off, matching to 401Ks suspended, and dividends cut. Plus longer hours for the remaining workers.

Course he COULD mean share the profits with the workers THROUGH their benevolent government. In which case he is arguing for increased corporate income taxes.

Or a combination of both - Either you distribute your profits the way we want you to or we will confiscate them.

Probably the latter.

Just don't call him anti-business.
