It is ironic, My brother had a grating fabricating company, and he voted for Obama, and now regrets it.

Good job. Most people have no idea how much works goes into starting and running a business. And in the early days, you can be literally working for peanuts with no health care, no vacations and no benefits.

Should also add, most new businesses fail. Does Obama think the business owners were not responsible for their failures ? And if business successes are due to government, why do so many new businesses fail ?

What Obama actually describes are crony capital businesses that only succeed because of their crony connections to government. Cronies are probably the only business people he has ever dealt with. That actually makes sense considering what he stated.

I have friends on Facebook that I argued about Obama and they defended him until he said they didn’t build their business and now they can’t stand him.

Rush made an excellent point yesterday. If all it takes to assure business success is roads, bridges, and airports, then why aren’t Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar, et al successful? They have plenty of state-built roads, bridges and airports.

No health care? Not any more. Haven't you heard: Thanks to Obama, health care is now "free."

Love it. And BTW, how did the 50% of the folks that don’t pay taxes help us “build it?”

Not likely. They have all kinds of catches in the tax code for the self employed. You know some years you can pay no income tax but you still have to pay social security. They call it self employment tax. The government hates the self employed. Those are the people they have the least control over. So we always get the shaft, even if we make no profit.

All well and good, but I’ve not seen anyone push the point yet that government creates infinitely more obstacles to the creation of a business than “bridges” or “roads”. The burdens of overregulation and taxation are unsupportable. How dare they take credit for creating something they have done everything possible to destroy?

It’s fightin’ back time, folks.
