American restaurants will consist only of high-end establishments like the ones Lagasse owns, fast food and chain restaurants, because no one else will be able to succeed.

This is parallels the destruction of the middle class. There will be the few elites, and then the unwashed masses. High-end restraints for the elites. Chain restraints for the masses.

Glad to hear another person speaking out. Leftists have done more to separate the rich and the poor than anyone else ever could. They make it so hard for a business to exist that only the large companies and very tiny with no overhead can exist.

Guy’s from New Orleans so I think he understands Kahhma.

“Bam!”

[kaehurowing]

And the same is true across the land . . .

We just watched the local jeweler close across the street; the travel agency next door is now packing it up and calling quits. Both had been in business for say 40 years. Our downtown is become a ghost town.

Hey may be in Nawluhnz, but IIRC, he’s originally a boston yankee.

[Obadiah]

My first thought.

[cuban leaf]

He predicts that if the government doesn’t start getting out of the way, the American restaurant industry will split and leave entrepreneurs and start-ups behind.

That’s the plan. The problem is this: The Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. They are just playing “good cop, bad cop” with us. They are the enforcer for their handlers which are “big business”. And their common enemy is “small business”.

The reason is simple: Though we have a constitution that protects our rights, everyone that works for “big business” really has forfeited those rights - if they want to earn an income. I merely need to point out the fate of a certain pro football team after his phone call remarks were ILLEGALLY recorded and released - or a certain professional athlete who smacked his fiance in an elevator.

Small businessmen and the folks that work for them are too free. They can’t be controlled. The “establishment” wants them erradicated.

[Obadiah]

Good. Then I hope he goes broke.

[WayneS]

Well then he has made his bed and now he’s got to get f—cked in it.

[sten]

wipe out all but the biggest businesses

workforce participation plummets (reject unemployment numbers as they’re inaccurate)

annual salaries plummet

people will then reach for welfare...

which means they’ll vote for dems under the threat of losing their increasingly needed welfare if the GOP wins

[Bitsy]

Well as long as there is high end where our government officials and employees can spend out money that’s OK. We certainly can’t afford the prices. Vote them all out and shrink government and give it back to the people.

[econjack]

Heroic assumption: Obozo gives a damn about Americans.

[Salvey]

His restaurants do not live up to the promise; I’ve had mediocre to poor meals at his outlets in Las Vegas, Bethlehem and New Orleans. That might be part of his problem also.

[T-Bird45]

I think accusing a second-generation Portuguese of being a “yankee” of any kind is pretty close to fighting words.

[Vendome]

Yeah, I think he is a Yankee...

Always hatted his “Bam!” Shows but, when he was discussing simple concepts on other shows he was very engaging and would hold my attention.

[Vendome]

If he goes back to coke that may very well happen.

[Malone LaVeigh]

If it continues, then watch: you’re going to have high-end, and you’re going to have fast food, and you’re going to have chain restaurants.”

[Bullish]

But.... Rut.... Obama’s so charming while he regulates and taxes everyone to death.

[2ndDivisionVet]

But he grew up in Rhode Island and is of Portuguese descent.
