Small business owners should protest by laying off all registered Democrats on their payrolls.

The dumbass populace does not realize that this was a tax increase on small businesses, and it will close and/or cause more lost jobs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That is assuming they care about jobs or taxes or the USC or America.
Nearly half the country is takers.

Read up on Saul Alinski. He believed (and Oboma taught) that the best way to form a communist government is to destroy the middle class.
If the left could impoverish the middle class enough, the middle class would then join those who are totally dependent on the federal government, and the communist revolution would be complete.

This is why Oboma is saying his economic plans have worked. More people are dependent on the federal government under Oboma than any time in American history. This is the "change" he was talking about. This is his attempt to ceate the communist revolution the left has been waiting for since FDR.

“but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.”

The Senate can propose an amendment on a bill originated in the House. They can’t propose their own.

Amendments... I knew I was missing something. Thank you for the clarification.

So essentially, they can’t do what they did, but they did it anyway.

Is there a doubt in anyone’s mind that the Constitution means nothing to anyone anymore?

“At the age of 71 I was unable to find work. So I created a job for myself.
I purchased a failing franchise business called Goin’Postal. My son & I will run it & we will succeed despite what the gubmint does to us. This is still a free society where you work to succeed. So far.
I say SCREW EM.”

But you didnt build that.

“And he recently told a fundraising crowd that his economic plan has been working.”


He’s actually telling the truth for a change. His plan IS working. His plan is to completely destroy the US economy.

Actually doesn’t matter if they voted to raise them. If hey hadn’t, King Barack would have raised them anyway by executive fiat.

My mom’s hairdresser owns her own shop and has for a long time. She’s a confirmed Democrat and LOVES Obama.

Lately she is complaining about all the government interference with small business owners.

Also, one of the first things people curtail in hard times is ‘non essential luxuries’... like a trip to the hairdresser. Guess who’s business has suffered?

Too late NOW!


And she will vote for obama again even if she’s run out of business. Thats just how brainwashed they are.

Right, but she’s your typical dyed in the wool Liberal.

She’s smart enough to by the half-a^%ed Liberal logic, but not smart enough to consider that alternatives exist or to challenge what isn’t working. It’s pathetic because she’s a really nice girl, otherwise.

It’s typical I think.

They have been so conditioned by Liberal BS that looking at things any other way (even IF alternatives would work FOR them) that they won’t consider another point of view.

Raising taxes does NOT bring in more government revenue. That’s the Big Fallacy all along.

Only if the rates are low. We are way past the point of diminishing returns. See the Laffer Curve.
Any talk of the government needing more "revenue" grates on me.
I despise that word, I think of it as "loot".
They are already taking much more than their fair share.
