It’s hard to think of a worse position to be in...to be a small business with the state being your 70-80-90-100% customer...with a truckload of receivables waiting to be paid and not a dime in the bank after paying your employees. Man, that would suck.

A fine up standing state that gave us the President would not force any one out of business would they??

I can’t believe this state hasn’t been overthrown by small woodland creatures.

Most states run by the Dems are in this position. The day of public financed goodies are coming to an end and BO doesn’t see it. The states will be FORCED by economic conditions to PRIVATIZE most of their operations except for police/fire/EMS.
Everything else will have to be run in a private (non-profit/profit) method. The Lafer curve is at the threshold.

but even if they “privatize” it they still want to control it.

Who knows? Best case scenario is a shake-up that would lead to more freedom.

If you can’t control the opposition put them out of business.

I just wonder. If the big fall happens will those who are unable to take care of themselves and not even know how to obtain basic food blame the government or just riot and try to steal from others? (emulate big government)

The state will threaten to close schools and other such blackmail if they don't get higher taxes.
Republicans could respond with a promise to balance the budget by abolishing welfare, and giving all current recipients a free ticket to some other state.

All Bolshevik revolutions cause a consolidation of power into the hands of the ‘elite’. Poor ‘small’ businesses get sucked up by the government backed corporations.
I still can’t believe what’s happening right before my eyes in such an orderly fashion.
Big labor, big corporations, big government equals totalitarian regimes every time.

yep.
Makers vs Takers all over again.
Run the survivors to the hills and forest reserves and we can get back to being a free country while them and their descendants evolve into primitve creatures.
