Business

No one in the P.O. administration knows anything about business.  There are no businessmen in his cabinet  or inner circle.

Business is in business to make money.  P.O. believes that their purpose is to be taxed or to give jobs to workers.  These are only byproducts of a successful business not their goals.

P.O. believes that by raising taxes on businesses he can close the trillions of dollar budget deficit.  Businesses are not really taxed!  Businesses raise their prices or cut jobs to maintain a profit.

P.O. believes that by making it easier for unions to organize that more jobs will be created.  Higher wages and restrictive work rules do not make for more jobs, only a less profitable business which leads to organizations like the auto industries which can not compete with foreign companies which lead to bailouts and fewer jobs.

P.O. believes by taxing small businessmen that the deficit will decrease.  People unlike P.O. are not stupid, they will not work of hard or expand if it costs them more than it is worth.

Profits are not evil as P.O. believes.  Profits allow expansion and give stock holder money  to spend.

ORIGIN Old English bisignis (see busy , -ness ). The sense in Old English was [anxiety] ; the sense [the state of being busy] was used from Middle English down to the 18th cent., but is now differentiated as busyness. The sense [an appointed task] dates from late Middle English , and from it all the other current senses have developed.

"We have decided..."

Our favorite present president said : "We have decided..."

Chrysler should merge with Fiat.
GM's CEO should resign.
That Gitmo detainees should be allowed in this country & be eligible for welfare.

What expertise does P.O. or any of his advisers have in business? Almost all if not all of his advisers are academicians who have no experience running even a lemonade stand. I know a community organizer must have some experience but in what I don't know (getting federal grants perhaps). Look at how well they have run the government so far (can you say trillions of dollar deficits, spending money they don't have to spur business who then do not have the ability to raise money since the gov will be borrowing out of the available capital).

Allowing very bad people to run free in this country (Gitmoees) also seems like a stupid idea. Giving them welfare only adds to the brilliance & this is from a government that raised a trial balloon that war veterans should use private insurance to pay for war injuries.

I do wish P.O. would get a clue!!!!

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have. Barry Goldwater

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke
