There's an expression in Latin, res ipsa loquitur, which means the facts speak for themselves. We're seeing record profits. Corporate salaries have never been higher. There's more money in the bank accounts of corporations. We've lost more jobs than at any time since the last recession. The productivity gap is growing. Real investment in machinery and equipment is down.
The system cannot work by itself without intervention of the representatives of the citizens of this country, and that's the government. Business only works when government works at the same time.
