mirage62 0 #26 November 28, 2011 Quote >Businesses are in business to make money. Well, and apparently to ensure that the political leaders they don't like are not re-elected - even if it means economic harm. Sure Bill I harm my business all the time to hurt Obama. That has to be the weakest comment you've ever made. Why just last week I didn't hire someone so that employment numbers wouldn't go up. It cost me a good bit of profit but by God I'm not helping that SOB look good.

Well, the others here plattered your ass well enough for me to just sit here, read the thread and chuckle "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

pirana 0 #28 November 28, 2011 QuotePerhaps he should be silenced since his political views aren't approved by the glorious leader? Glorious Leader should be capitalized. Even by his worst enemies, you never saw him referred to as mr. big, did you, . . . huh?" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,991 #29 November 28, 2011 >Please tell me exactly why is Obama good for business? He's not. Nor is he bad for business. Here in the US the government does not run businesses. >Why should businesses trust Obama when Obama has no experience in the business world? Because we are not a socialist country. I have to say it is odd to hear the conservatives complaining that Obama's not messing more with American businesses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #43 November 28, 2011 Quote if you feel you can do better, there is nothing stopping you from opening up a business, going on a massive hiring binge, making sure all your workers are unionized, making sure you give them all generous benefits, tons of time off, early retirement and make sure even the lowest skilled workers are paid high salaries. If you think you can show American business's how it's done, have at it. Knock yourself out. That’s absolutely it. There are plenty of people out there saying, “GIVE ME A JOB.” Those who are saying, “I cannot afford to create jobs” are viewed as treasonous. Jeanne – what’s your problem with not hiring? If “hiring employees” is a patriotic duty and failing to do so is treason, then why don’t you take every laborer who has never incurred a payroll obligation and toss them into the clink? Oh, yeah. It’s only the 1% and those who do their beck and call who have this obligation. It’s treason for a businesswoman not to hire her way into bankruptcy. And it’s treason to be bankrupt. But for anyone who hasn’t ventured into that world it is a sign of being a true American. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty obvious that certain sectors will not help to do that... you know.. the ones who wrap themselves in an American Flag at any opportune moment and go on and on about America "values" and mom... and Apple Pie. They are just like this good ole boy RED STATE voter... who will do EVERYTHING possible... to make sure that the economy will stay stagnant... even though he could hire.. he will not... and I will lay you odds that yes indeedy.. he COULD afford to puyt people to work.. and his profits would increase. Spiting ones face by cutting off your nose.. seems to be the deisre of the day in the party of so called American Patriots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #46 November 28, 2011 Doing what's best for the Country? By putting himself out of business? Gee - the whole economy between 2002 and 2008 was GREAT for the country. Low unemployment. Low interest rates. Massive governmental revenues at the federal, state and local levels. It was amazingly wonderful and crashed the hell down. Sorry. Jeanne, but doing what's best for the country brought us the Iraq war. It brought us the whole real estate bubble. It's sure as hell not best for this guy to hire anybody. Jeanne - do what's best for the country and hire four or five people. Oh. That's right. You DON'T do it. I'm asking why YOU don't do what's best for the country. You've said it but you aren't doing it. Is it because you are like the millions of others who only want someone else to do it? My wife is hotter than your wife.
