You’re right. Obama is going to be a historic figure. He is living proof of what it means for African Americans to compete and win on mainstream America’s terms and turf.
Yep.
For fun, I read through his 64-page Blueprint for Change.
Astounding stuff. His healthcare plan alone will drive me out of business. If I don’t contribute to my employees’ healthcare (which I don’t) then I’ll have to pay a percentage of my payroll to the government for its universal healthcare plan. That’ll force me to cut payroll (fire folks) so I’ve got a lower percentage, and even then - unless my margin grows - I can’t afford a new tax.
Change is going to be very costly. The growth in the size and scope of the federal government is going to be costly.
Obama, if he holds forth on his Blueprint for Change, will be another Jimmy Carter. Even if his healthcare plan doesn’t ruin my business, the economic disaster his programs will bring about probably will.
Exciting times.
