May 9th Prediction: Obama or Romney?

No, they're scared to expand, hire, invest, etc. because of the uncertain business climate fostered by your Prez who wants to raise taxes on TEH RICH, many of whom are small business owners.

Oh, bullshit.  Every company, once it figures out it can reduce its workforce and still see productivity, doesn't expand unless absolutely necessary.  Get rid of 15,000 jobs, and still see results? PROFIT!

Really?  The world's largest market is on the edge of self-destruction.  The developing world's growth is rapidly slowing.  But the reason the business climate's uncertain is because Obama supports Clinton-era tax rates?

The comparison's never perfect but our economy's gone back into recession and businesses have huge stockpiles of cash right now.  We've got a government that's cutting corporate and income tax.

Going by his class warfare rhetoric, Obama seems to support much higher tax rates than that.  TEH RICH HAVE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

For a man who occasionally reads Granma you clearly don't know a great deal about class warfare

It's more subtle over here, but it exists.

With all the GOP voter registration games a lot of battleground states are playing, I think the "day after the election" doom will be even more painful.

Why don't more clever CEOs reduce their workforce to zero?

Surely the Democrats aren't that dependent on Daley-esque voting the graveyard, are they?

They try to get as close to it as possible, now don't they?
