When U.S. Rep. Allen West visited GelTech Solutions in Jupiter last week, he expressed both enthusiasm for its “next-generation” products and frustration with the government’s tendency to hinder small businesses’ growth.

Well when you have dims, thugs, crooks, morons and oh yeah, a community organizer that is supposed to be "the smartest guy ever to infest the oval office" (but he refuses to release his transcripts) dictating policies that are designed to destroy this Country, the only thing you can get is STUPID!

When I visited Wash DC in April, I saw a lot of guys in 1000 dollar suits and women in 400 dollar dresses / 200 dollar shoes.

But nobody seemed very stressed...
