OK, but, just to balance things off, HD has probably been the largest killer of small business in America for the last 25 years.

This guy was on FOX Business with Neil Cavuto earlier as well.

He said there’s no way he could start a company like Home Depot today.

Said the climate today is totally different than when he co-founded HD back in 1978.

Something about lawyer fees and taxes, etc. would make it too difficult to start a new business like HD in 2010.

This is the same Home Depot that sponsors Gay Rights Parades that are led off by brainwashed children?

He isn’t just an out of touch academic. What Obama does is DELIBERATE. Read Dinesh D’Souza’s article to find out who Obastard is and why he is doing it. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0927/politics-socialism-capitalism-private-enterprises-obama-business-problem.html

It's OK. Why not let them destroy each other? Sorta like Kung Fu. Let 'em use their energy against themselves.

1978. The good old Carter years.

They killed off a particular type of inefficient small business which commanded premium prices for commodity items due to geographic proximity. Wal-Mart killed off another of those types.

It has to be so, otherwise those small businesses are just another political pressure group seeking a government preference to maintain their mini-monopolies.

Can you please give it a rest? Why do you think it’s incumbent to attack successful people? Are you a Democrat?
The first damn response in the thread and you had to take the opportunity to snipe at Home Depot.

This is also the same Home Depot that allows illegal aliens to harass its customers?

Right! And gawd knows, big business monopolies are just so much more efficient!

You get an "A".
