Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More

Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget.

He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds.

That is the meaning of his anti-growth tax-hike proposals, which make absolutely no sense at all — either for this recession or from the standpoint of expanding our economy’s long-run potential to grow.

Get even with them ism.

What was hard to understand in the sermon “white man’s greed runs aworld in need” that you didn’t get?

If you still need help look up Michelle Obama’s racist hate filled thesis.

[Gorzaloon]

Well then, do conservatives dare say: We told you so?

More like, "We tried to warn you!!!!"

[xcamel]

Kudlow better sleep with a pistol, or hire a couple body guards...

[VRWC For Truth]

He’s going to be the most disgraced loser in US history.

[MadelineZapeezda]

He declared war on parents that had saved college funds for their children’s futures, too!

The part Team O hasn't yet realized is that with that greed stifled, there will be nothing to run that world in need.

As the owner of a small business I must say that it is real work to run a small corporation, and my commitments to my employees cause me a lot of tossing and turning at night.

Also, those big payroll checks I send into the government every month are already taxing my motivation.

Maybe I'll use these changes as an opportunity to lay off staff. I may make a little less money, but I'll trade that for a little less stress.

At the very least I may very well not be giving out any raises or bonuses for the next couple of years to compensate.

[Tarpon]

Yep, that's the socialists fatal flaw.

Just look at Zimbabwe ... Owning the farm doesn't make you a farmer.

[tflabo]

'I told you all Obama is a fantasy'...

[Sig Sauer P220]

Maybe I'll use these changes as an opportunity to lay off staff.

Should be easy to decide who goes first, based on political persuasion.

But Larry loved having dinner with him.

[Venturer]

I once thought Obama was making stupid mistakes, but sooner or late even the most stupid would have to do something right.

No: Obama isnt stupid he is trying to destroy America from within ,and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are working hand in hand with him to do it.

[arthurus]

In four years, I wonder how many businesses and industries will be left within the fifty states?Canada and Ireland and other places are probably starting to look mighty inviting.

[Tarpon]

It’s a calculated plan ...

[razorback-bert]

You are correct and owning the business, doesn’t make you a businessman either.

[Paladin2]

"He declared war on parents that had saved college funds for their children’s futures, too!"

Uh, colleges have already been doing that for 30 yr or longer.

[Tarpon]

owning the business, doesn’t make you a businessman either.

I can sympathize with that, my statement was meant as generic in nature. I participated in managing several businesses, and it is not an easy task.

You too, huh?

In the last three weeks, ZERO has pretty much made me question my contribution to "The Party," aka hring employees, paying them and paying my share of their payroll taxes, and contributing to the GDP. My feeling is that nearly every small business owner (except those who will always dring the ZERO Koolaid to even their own demise) in AMerica is feeling the same way! Kudlow mentions the pro-ZERO sentiment on Wall Street is turning. My guess is that the Empty Suit on Pennsylvania Avenue will find that the honeymoon is VERy short-lived. Remember .. aside from all the hype we heard about this pinhead, it would have only taken an 8% swing in the election to give us McCain, who at least would have been "Socialist-light." I'm thinking we may have already achieved that 8%.
