My apologies to my Democrat friends.

Misguided as they are

I realise business can be greedy and moneygrubbing.

However I thought 'it's the economy stupid!'. And let me clue yalls into a little known fact - the economy and business are kinda interrelated

Put too many restrictions on business and the business will go elsewhere.

I forgot - The Dems are proving their commitment to the working man by keeping the tax cut in place for them. So if you're scraping by at $235K a year Dems are on your side.
Fuck the Democrats. Fuck the Republicans too. This whole "my team vs. your team" shit is killing the country.

Don't put any restrictions on them and we will have another recession in ten years. Show me another country with the same f**ked up mortgage system we have. One of the things those brilliant business men designed for us.

So maybe they will all move to Venezuala or China, then they will discover what restrictions mean. The average business leader would have difficulty locating his gluteus maximus with both hooves, assuming he could get them out of the trough first.

Heck it was my understanding if you paid a 'fee' to the 'right' people in China you'd suddenly find yourself as unregulated as you can get

Good news there though - factories are actualy starting to move inland because labor costs have gone up on the coasts. It's begun.

Up to $30/mo from $10

If you don't pay the fee you might get shot. Chinese shops are OK but when American companies open shop there they eventually find that all their intellectual property isn't.

"yalls"?

Pete, Pete, Pete. I see you haven't spent enough time in the south.
It's "y'all",-plural form,----no "S".

The grammer is atrocious.

Why don't you just say what's on your mind, John? All of this vagueness and beating around the bush is frustrating. We want to know how you really feel.

Lowered taxes for the last 8 years or so! What have Democrats done? Nafta? Soon to come cap and trade - yeah that will help workers.

China loves it's big business but doesn't play around at all with anybody putting it at risk.
The entitled of Wall St. should be very thankful that we do literally nothing at all to them.
