I keep hearing that particular (progressive-left-democrats are anti-business) talking point, and when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of it, all talk and no pants.
I hope people in the tea party lose everything once they put these clowns back in. Big business has destroyed this country. Anybody whose glad for these companies to be allowed to do what ever they want might as well be a slave. Thats what they have overseas, slaves. You want to make .25/hour like they do in Haiti. Be my guest.
Wow, are hoping America fails? Didn't the left go ballistic when Rush Limbaugh said the same thing about Obama? Hypocrisy much? LOL

Those "clowns" are running the government today. You think big business is NOT calling the shots today ? Just look at who benefits from all these newly passed bills.
You are naive to think either party has the interest of Americans in mind anymore. Lobbyists and CEO's have more clout in DC then we do.
"But with a corporate tax rate of 39.2 percent (when combining state and federal taxes), the United States would find itself taxing businesses more than any of the other nations in the organization. Economists say that high corporate tax rates will do little but drive business and investment out of the United States."
For example health care. The clueless jerks who passed it had no idea how it would affect business. When businesses complied with accounting requirements, the dopes thought they were trying to undermine congress.
AT&T to take $1 billion charge on health law change | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Dallas Business News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/stories/DN-att_27bus.ART0.State.Edition1.3daf55d.html - broken link)
"AT&T is the latest in a string of companies to announce charges resulting from the new law, but its charge is by far the biggest. 3M Co., Deere & Co., Caterpillar Inc . and AK Steel Holding Corp. have recently announced charges ranging from $31 million to $150 million.
The company announcements Friday prompted Democrats in Congress to push back.
Rep. Henry Waxman, a California Democrat who co-chairs a subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said he'll convene a hearing next month to question company executives about their moves."
But when the morons found out the businesses were right, they cancelled the hearings.
"Moreover, it said, “these one-time charges were required by applicable accounting rules.” The committee staff said this view was confirmed by independent experts at the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the American Academy of Actuaries.
Mr. Waxman, the chairman of the committee, and Mr. Stupak canceled a hearing at which they had planned to question executives on the effects of the law."
And without the law what would we have. I love how you guys pretend that HC was so great until now. Get a clue every Presidential candidate I have ever listen to in almost 20 years ran on HC reform. So you want low wages,no HC,no vacation,no worker rights or protection. Lets just live like India or China. CEO and other fat cats get everything,workers live like dogs and die young so we want have to give you retirement.

I agree but the right thinks that the way it should be, the dems are just trying to compete.
