“Quality. That’s what the liberals have always offered the country. Quality.”

I could not pass showing this again.

And remember, some of the regulations are aimed at improving product quality and human safety. The world is filled with unscrupulous manufacturers and merchants.

The productive people in this country should tell Obama, Congress and the moochers and looters that voted for them to go to hell. Put them all on notice that there will be NO wealth creation as long as this statist crap continues, that there will be NO new jobs and there will therefore be NO significant tax revenue for their stupid schemes. Taking any risks in this climate is just stupid.
Galt them. (Yes, it’s now a verb.)

_IF_ there is a solution that does not include
learning Chinese, with special emphasis on the
Inferior to Superior mode, it is a bottom-up,
start-up, hi-tech, manufacturing economy,
political action, company town model.
The Feds will oppose any such initiative with
all their power, hence it will be necessary to wait
until that power has been reduced by at least one
major catastrophe, and then try to become profitable
before the final crash.
a good example is the IEC Fusion powerplant market;
Quietly invest in support technologies, and do a
break-out when the design parameters come out of
the prototype experimental results.
Oh, yes, be sure to market to the rich; The poor
won’t have any money.

We may need “Guerrilla Capitalism” operating in tandem with the underground economy. America may become two nations economically.

I have run a small business for 20 years in my days, and I’m proud for the jobs I created, and what I produced, and exported.

The freedom of entreprise has always been the engine of America’s greatness. So-called “small” businesses are in fact central to the “big” picture. Under the right operating rules, (mostly about taxes), small business are very nimble in the creation of new jobs making up for the job losses from big corporations finding themselves in a bad corner.

When you create and run a business, you become the custodian of a small slice of the national economy, and in this way your personal success is tied to the national success, as a two-way street. This is the total opposite of the mental frame of victimhood which the big spenders are trying to push you into for their own aggrandizment.

Keep in mind that, in human history, tyranny is the rule and freedom is the exception, and the historic exception is America as originally conceived. Don’t let the governement that was created for the people by the people into a parasite on the people for the elite.

Join your local tea party! Get your copy of the declaration of independence and the US constitution, the best tiny book (just about the size of your passport) anyone can get for 5 bucks! Make your voice heard by those who are supposed to represent you, but won’t if you do not keep the fire under their feet.

If the “cavalry” does as good a job getting us out of this mess as they did recklessly getting us into it, we’re saved!

Oh wait… I forgot there IS a democrat elected offical who has held a real job…

Al Franken! He was a comedian before becoming an official Democrat elected person. Quality. That’s what the liberals have always offered the country. Quality.

Just like the Democratic party to blame “big” business for the trouble we are currently in. Surely it can’t be their fault for ordering mortgages be given out to every ACORN voter with their hand out right? No. Let’s blame the job creators! They’re the big problem here. Better yet, let’s tax the hell out of them and then drag them through the mud when they take their business elsewhere.

Is there ANY democratic elected offical who’s ever held a real job besides lawyer or “organizer”? Anyone?

How did we let this happen? – I thought it was obvious – we pay people (Congress and the various state legislatures) to pass laws and regulations. So we have far too many laws.

Nobody gets paid to overturn outdated laws or bad regulations. We need a third body in Congress that does nothing except overturn laws.

Big business loves big government. Big businesses can afford to comply with SOX, and OSHA, the IRS, etc… Those pesky entrepreneurs who threaten big business profits can’t. Big businesses can afford to buy their own Senators from both parties for protection – small businesses can’t. Big Business didn’t sell you out – they bought you from Congress.

When government is constrained, big businesses are left unprotected from innovative small businesses. Look what Bill Gates did to IBM in the 80’s. Rapidly growing small businesses create jobs and create wealth. Static big business does relatively little of either.
