The ‘taxation and regulation’ is defacto Nationalization by the State.
As the State expands, commerce contracts.

My opinion of Conyers has gone up enormously over the past few days (see here). I disagree with him on most things but admire his willingness to move to the front of the Dem bus to say it.

I'll take a consistent liberal like Conyers over a RINO P.O.S. like Scott Brown who's a consistent statist, backing government spending and government intrusion.

As one of the most powerful Donkeys, Conyers and Congressional Black Caucus should DEMAND that the Kenyan create jobs. After all, he walks on water so he ought to be able to create jobs, right?

Ah, John, your boy the Dear Leader has been actively destroying jobs and the country for 2-1/2 years — or haven't you been paying attention. Barry has absolutely no desire to help the Americans he intends to destroy in the name of Saul Alinsky.

That's a good trick, Mr. Conyers. Hubert H. Humphrey died in 1978 from bladder cancer. If you were standing with him, it had to be in spirit because he'd been dead for nine years.

Think the congressman flipped a couple of digits. The Humphrey-Hawkings full employment bill was from 1978. He’ll bring it up on local lib talk radio here.

Sometimes he sounds like it was passed and Carter signed it into law, now it just needs to be used.

continues working on his project to get GWB impeached.


I wonder if his wife is out of jail yet.

There’s a reason Rush Limbaugh refers to Detroit as “New Fallujah”.

...each year, a single federal regulatory employee (i) cuts GDP by $6.2 million; (ii) eliminates 98 private sector jobs; and (iii) destroys the equivalent of the economic output of 134 persons. Given that the total annual appropriations for regulatory agencies in the federal budget is only about $60 billion, the “cost per regulator” clearly shows the pervasive effect regulation has on the overall economy.

You might want to do something about high corporate taxes an the illegal alien problem too.
