#1 Of course not, that dries up the money teat, they only want to bleed them white.

THEN dry them up, bankrupt them and suck off the rest, they don't give a damn about survival or profit.

(Talk about Killing the Goose that lays golden eggs)

#3 If they were capable of grasping that good intentions =/= good outcomes, they wouldn't be liberals.

#4 Obama said Friday at a fundraiser

With all that is going on in government, this says volumes. "If you talk to us"... no, that will never happen. Not if I can help it anyway.

#5 Currently, the regulatory burden on business in terms of time and money is rising at a rate of 7% per year. That means that unless abated or rolled back the costs will double in ten years.

It also means that in the six years since the Dems took over Congress in 2007 those costs have risen 50%.

Outside of a few extremely wealthy people who made their millions/billions by being at the right place at the right time in the private sector, the vast bulk of the left is composed of public employees and welfare recipients. Niether of these groups have a clue about how deadly an onerous hyperregulatory environment is to a growing small business engaged in something truly productive that doesn't fit into the right-place, right-time, get-rich-quick program (think Schmidt at Google, or Corzine or others in the financial skimming industry).

#9 Obama is correct in his statement. What he is suggesting is do not tax Google, GE or Solyndra but do tax Altria, Exxon and any company with the word Coal in it's annual report out of business.

#10 Obama and his administration has zip credibility at this point. He has moved past "lame duck" status.

#11 Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma, Mugabe, and the rest were against the evil mines.... until they owned and controlled them.

The inner cities of America have become the new Indian Reservations of old.
The inhabitants of the inner cities today find themselves facing the same plight suffered by the Native American people for many generations. But unlike the proud Native Americans who fought and died, but lost the wars they fought for their freedom, the inhabitants of the inner city reservations have gone down with little more than a whimper. Not only have they NOT fought against it, but they have embraced and even demanded the implementations of the same ignorant government policies that have impoverished the Native American Indian People since the first day they were forced onto the reservations.

The multitudes eaking out their daily survival in their urban reservations stand in awed rapture, cowed by the pretty words sung out by the entity's puppet behind the podium but endure in silence what they always knew would be more broken promises.

There was a time when I believed that Obama's economic policies were simply a result of his complete ignorance of sound business or proven economic principles. And I have not changed my mind about that.

But by now it should be obvious that the caustic business environment which not only inhibits recovery but strangles our abiliy to compete globally, could only have been orchistrated by someone far more astute than Obama will ever be. The ability to expose and defeat that entity evaporates precipitously with each new regulation.

The political leaders on the right feign indignity as they convene congressional investigations knowing from the outset that they have neither the fortitude nor the tenacity to persevere to the end or actually expose or hold to account those who have seized and abused the power to contol and impede our businesses and even invade the most personal aspecets of our own lives.

The liberal left mills about in sheep like apathy waiting their turn to be sheared by their government appointed shepherd. While those who have not yet been consigned to their reservation go about their politically correct little lives, abandoning their social media devices only long enough to shrilly castigate and even threaten violece toward anyone with spirit enough to question their socialistically engineered status quo. All the while they whine that someone else has done nothing to delay the inevitable collapse of what everyone knows has become our economic house of cards.
