and for those of your who failed to vote last time or voted so as to teach the errant republicans a lesson - what did you expect from these jokers you put into office????
My husband and I have a small business.
Europe has subsidies and protections for their businesses.
Congress hasn’t been much help for years (except for the Bush cuts) and now wants to cut us off at the knees.
Democrats aren’t happy until we’re all equally miserable.
Sometimes sacrifices must be made to keep our elected officials in check. If they act like a bunch of spineless liberal weenies and put up the same for election we have the duty to express our dislike at the polls. I’d rather take a step back to take two steps forward in the next cycle.
You can’t blame the Republican base when the party refuses to stick to it’s core fiscal principles.
The same thing will be repeated if they stay home, or vote for a third party candidate who doesn’t have a chance. Just because they don’t like our nominee.
“You cant blame the Republican base when the party refuses to stick to its core fiscal principles.”
I think Bush’s solution to the recession he inherited from Clinton was to spend his way out of it. So yes they spent a lot of money. Heard a number yesterday that Repub’s spending was on the order of 15 billion. The Dem’s proposed spending was around 180 billion. I can’t remember but I think this was from Dr. Bennett’s show on Thursday.
Rangel knows what he is doing. According to the liberal minority inner city voting block, anyone who can afford to own a small business MUST be rich.
“and for those of your who failed to vote last time or voted so as to teach the errant republicans a lesson - what did you expect from these jokers you put into office?”
We have a two party system. Any third part is a waste of time. We need to work to improve the party of our choice. Dem’s are frothing at the mouth to send trillions of dollars in tax increases our way. No thank you!
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Our communist governor and RINO legislature hit small businesses with numerous “fees” and taxes, including new taxes on various services. Naturally, lawyers are not included in the new service taxes.
Anyway, small businesses are fleeing this socialist paradise as are productive citizens. The tax demands of the welfare leeches, crooked state bureaucrats, legions of government workers, including teachers, and the army of state worker retirees will soon oustrip the paying ability of business and productive citizens.
All that will be left is to strip state assets to pay the ever increasing bill.
Michigan will soon resemble 1980s Albania, including thousands of refugees fleeing economic and individual liberty strangulation.
Moral of the story: Never, ever elect a woman to a political office just because she’s a woman.
Enjoying beating that dead horse, are you?
Please list all of the substantive legislation the Dim majority has passed and gotten signed into law during this session of Congress.
Let’s see exactly how bad it’s been. Here, I’ll start the list for you:
1)
Enough said.
The Mother of All Tax Hikes on Small Businesses...
the lib/dems just doing what they do best....destroy US enterprise/entrepeneurship/economic expansion!!!!
but they support the troops...so they say...well at least those that are the enemies of the US!!!
There was a REASON why all those people stayed home. Most of them were not freepers, either. I went out and voted, and so did most freepers, I’m sure.
But the average social conservative stayed home because the Republicans spent two years kicking him in the teeth. Are you surprised?
There was a long history in modern times of Evangelicals not voting, because they figured it was hopeless, and their true home was in heaven. Jerry Falwell and others managed to turn that around, and persuade Evangelicals that they are sojourners in the Earthly City, as Augustine called it, as well as citizens of the Heavenly City, and that they owed the country their concern and support as long as that was possible.
In two years, the Republicans kicked that support away. It would be more productive to think about why it was kicked away, and what could be done to start fixing the problem, than to curse the folks who stayed home because they were too discouraged to vote.
No point yelling at us, we voted. But we said that a lot of people probably wouldn’t, because of the stupidity of the Republican leadership (not Bush so much as his advisers and congressional leaders), and unfortunately that proved to be right.
If the party fails to get it this time, and nominates someone like Giuliani, then the damage will be completed, and the party destroyed. You can’t win elections if you keep screwing your own base.
reference is to the FR post above
yup , .. and that is why I like to hire people who have been The Boss before ,..
they know that every day MUST be profitable , .. and that thought never strays far from their FOCUS!
workers that have unknowingly “lapped-up” Marxist claptrap are PROBLEMS & TOXIC to anyone’s biz
we may seek to live on the mountaintop, but are sent into the valley to live our lives, where the work of the Lord goes on.
No, you are trying to say that all those who failed to vote to pubbies last election have caused a lot of damage because the Dims got the majority. I was responding to that factless claim by asking you to list all the substantive legislation the Dims have gotten passed and signed into law.
Either they did a lot of damage by getting their bad legislation passed and signed or they haven’t. If they haven’t, then your lame scare tactics are 100% baseless.
So, let’s have that list, scaremonger.
