Las Vegas Hotel Owner tells it like it is (Video: Steve Wynn)

This is better than Rick Santelli's rant. Here is a successful businessman giving us the reality of the situation.

Hotel owner Steve Wynn describes this administration and Congress's policies. As he says repeatedly, it is a combination of the insane spending and regulatory policies of the Democrats and the complete uncertainty this creates for business.

Per Rush:

"RUSH: By the way, I am told, ladies and gentlemen, that Steve Wynn did not vote for Obama. I want to be right about this. Steve Wynn did not vote for Obama but that his wife, Elaine, did. And I think she held some fundraisers for Obama. But I'm told Steve Wynn did not."

Wynn and other casino owners are building like crazy in Macau, the Las Vegas of China.

The former Portuguese colony is booming like a son of a b*tch. Boatloads of money are being made by the casino operators.

If Las Vegas and Reno and Atlantic City had any brains, they would make more big time stink about the indian casinos being given carte blanche in every single way, tax free....

that is the real demise of Las Vegas....

the politicians are ruining us. I know it. He knows it. Most of you know it. Why the hell are we letting it continue? What will it take for the people to rise up. My fear....sadly...nothing will do it. We have become passive little whiners that will complain but won't pick up a rifle and do something about it. Elections? don't make we laugh. We have had elections all your life. Where has it gotten us? Hang the corrupted then we can make some progress in the right direction.

I sent to all friends. This video may not persuade the “useful idiot” Obama drones but it may knock those ones off that are still standing on the fence.

Dingy Harry doesn’t seem to have the support of Mr. Wynn. Dingy is toast, I hope this campaign drains Dingy dry.

Does he put his money where his mouth is? Thanks kara2008.

Violence is the desperate and ineffective modus operandi of the Left. Violence is NOT the answer -- peaceful non-violent resistance is (e.g. Martin Luter King and Gandhi).

We the People are taking a stand as evident with the 9/12 project, the Tea Party, strong conservative Governors (Jindal, Brewer, Christie,Daniels) and recent election victories (Sharon Engel, Nikki Hailey, Scott Brown*, etc). Do not despair for a tsunami is coming in 2010/2012.

As Rick Santelli emphatically stated yesterday “America is exceptional. America will rise again. We always do. No matter what." (Video clip).

*RINO, but the election showed the power of grass root tea party support.

. . . . .everything is Coo Coo. And God knows what’s next?

Well, I wish you luck. As for me, I'm done. Our political and legal system has become so corrupted, a vote is meaningless to me. I know I'll get flamed for this but that's how I see it and I'm finished playing the game. Most people know the majority of our politicians are crooked, not to mention not very bright to boot. Every once in a while the next ‘savior’ arrives on the scene and in the end nothing changes much. I've observed my country go to shit over the last 30 years and as far as I can tell we are on the glide path to complete ruin as things get worse and worse. Maybe (hopefully) out of the ashes the phoenix will rise but until we are working on that, I'm done. I'll do whatever I must to protect myself and family....the rest of it, there's nothing I can do and I'm not going to pretend there is. Sorry.

Oh, I’m sure he’s not alone. There are many more every day who are awakening to what has happened since November 4, 2009. And I welcome everyone who comes to realize exactly what that vote has caused.

I’m not a big Glenn Beck fan. I’m a buttoned-up type of guy and don’t track with his freestyle presentation. But I have to give him credit for his focus on our roots, our history. Too little is known, thanks to today’s educational system (and our government...). He’s done a yeoman’s work putting it out there. He deserves credit for that.

And, too many Americans are woefully in need of an education on our country’s history. We don’t know the facts because we have been denied them for so long. That’s only a small part of the picture, but I applaud there’s at least one person speaking up.

Good for you and your brother. I hope your awakening will make you more aware of who you are, what you are, and what you can become.

[Tzimisce]

Well I’m surprised.

Seems that every millionaire out there voted Obama and now fleeing the country to avoid the taxes and regulations.

I understand. I am repulsed, frustrated and furious with the astronomical level of deceit, theft and corruption in our political and legal systems. Things will get much, much worse, but I pray that in the end the country, like phoenix, will rise from the ashes of tyranny.

Violence is the desperate and ineffective modus operandi of the Left. Violence is NOT the answer -- peaceful non-violent resistance is (e.g. Martin Luter King and Gandhi).

Peaceful, non-violent protest is only effective when you're trying to effect social change in a moral, civilized country. Our government no longer meets that description. It is now run by a cabal of tyrannical oligarchs, who spit on our Constitution and walk on our flag. Monsters like them only respect and respond to one thing, and that is overwhelming force.

The Founders understood this, and that is why they wisely chose to confront the evil of their day with violent force. It's how this nation won its freedom.

None of us wants to see the current battle escalate into violent revolution, but unless we can somehow depose the little dictators now in charge, and root out their cohorts from every level of government through peaceful means, it will come to that.

[kara2008]

Indeed. I agree with your assessment with a very heavy heart.
