It’s interesting that recent polls have shown that Wall Street investment managers prefer a gridlocked government. That is, they prefer an even number of Republicans and an even number of Democrats so that neither of them gets their way and nothing happens.
Grilock would be good for the American people too. If the government would just do nothing, we’ll be fine! It’s tax increases, regulations, “inniatives,” and all the things politicians do to get money for their own interests that hurt us.
If the government (a.k.a Barney Franks and the Democrats) would have stayed out of the banking/loan business, it would not have crashed and “needed” a bailout from us taxpayers. If the government would have stayed out of healthcare, there would have been more competition to keep prices lower. If the government wouldn’t have continually increased taxes on corporations making us the second highest taxer on businesses in the world, then international businesses wouldn’t be kicking our butt because their expenses are so much lower and businesses here wouldn’t be relocating to New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Denmark, Sweden and others.
Today a report on MSNBC showed that the U.S. economy grew at a much slower pace “than expected.” The reason for this, in part, was because of “the largest surge in imports in 26 years.”
Why are we experiencing the largest surge in imports in 26 years? Because our government acts more like a predator to businesses in the United States than a friend. President Obama gives lip service (his specialty) to those in need of jobs, but then attacks the job engines – businesses with tax increases and new regulations to the point that it’s a full time job for businesses just to keep up.
The simple fact is that businesses in the United States cannot compete internationally due to the fact that our government is currently the second highest taxer on earth! And this is supposed to be the “land of the free.”
So international businesses, whose governments apparently have learned, or already knew, that if they overtax businesses that those businesses will have less money to hire, are experiencing job growth. In fact, they’re outselling us in many areas in our own country! It seems like this President wants the exact opposite of job creation. It seems like he wants to punish every business that dares attempt to make a profit…which leads to jobs.
