The small business owners that Obama is hiking taxes on are the ones generating the most profits, the ones employing almost 43 million workers.
Because...after all....the government can’t own EVERY business..so he puts the ones that government can’t own out of business.
Yeah, that’ll help the economy!
Example of a state employee database. This one, Ohio: http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/article/1188?appSession=43227487566233&RecordID=&PageID=2&PrevPageID=1&cpipage=2&CPISortType=&CPIorderBy=
another example:
“Ohio State (University) pays 154 employees at least $250,000 a year, with university president E. Gordon Gee topping the list at $775,000 a year,” transparency center director Mike Maurer said. Mr. Gee’s total annual pay package, between $1.6 million to $2 million, makes him the highest paid public university president in the nation, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Columbus Dispatch.
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
Benjamin Franklin
He shouldn’t be going after ANYONE during a bad recession. EVERYONE SHOULD GET A TAX BREAK!
Didn't James Madison say something similar -- about the game being over once benefits started to be voted from the public Treasury?
Just precisely WHAT does a University president do to make him worth that amount of money?!!I can imagine what a CEO might do...but a fn University president?!!!
Do they have a large waiting list of students waiting to enrole in Ohio State because it costs more?
Big college presidents, CIOs, some business, law & med scool chiefs, along with coaches @ ADs, make big money. So do the administrative & IT people.
& not @
During the Great Depression, there was not gloabal markets and corporations were limited to their government of their HQ.
Now corporations can skip borders and are NOT beholding to any government.
Small business, anything under 10 million is not so easy to move.
Obamacrats, Obamanomics, and Obama messiah himself are just plain oblivious. He thinks by kow towing to eurosocialists he can change that fact of life. Obama is not stuck on stupid, Obama is stupid personified. (but his harvard degree is in a really pretty frame)
