Or, start a business...and didn't mind unsafe working conditions, maybe you'd keep a few

It's your own damn problem, it's not government's job to worry about your job!

Really Mr.President? What about that government bureaucracy OSHA...ever hear of them?

Try starting a business Mr. President without the overbearing threats from ADA (your daddy's other baby), EPA (Nixon's baby), IRS, OSHA to name only a few of YOUR federal bureaucracies standing in the way of "free trade".

Don't preach to me about "free trade" Mr. President untill you've addressed all of YOUR bureaucracies standing in the way.

Quit waffling Mr. Bush! (There, did I do that right?)

No. You got it ass backwards. Government IS the problem and THAT is how it IS the government's responsibility.

I think you missed it. There was a supersize helping of sarcasm in that post. I know that Deliberator is a free market proponent.
My point is: That's what he should have said, because that's how the current Administration is doing business. It would appeal to the free market component here, but would surely sink his reelection campagin if he were that honest.
Now, if that kind of honesty would get you the boot, does that mean most Americans are wrong?

I was trying to run a small business when these things hit full stride in the late 60's/ early 70's. They were always more about making it next to impossible for a small business operator to survive than protecting anything.
