I’ve heard that some have a plan to move a sizable portion of their business offshore. Especially internet based businesses.

I run a small business that has done pretty well over the years - we currently employ 5 others. I was about to hire two more people (the workstations are going in as I write this) and offer them the same benefits and wages the others are getting. I will not do so now. I will look for two part-time office support people, trim inventory and scale back my operations. I also advise you, in the event that That One gets into office, if you are not a C Corp., to file immediately. If you have any expansion plans or are doing business that could increase your tax liability, give some careful thought about any exit strategies you might have in place now...if That One gets into office, you will need to look hard at what he will try to take from you.

I will voluntarily scale this company back so I do not have to work until August each year to pay That One’s taxes.

Obama and Biden view the working class as idiots who couldn’t possibly improve their lot in life without the government’s help. Again, Democrats are amazed when they find out that the working and middle classes think they will be better off one day, and don’t want taxes too high. Obama the rookie made a fantastically stupid and unforced error on the campaign trail. Denigrating Joe the Plumber will only compound that mistake.

LOL - you’re right.

I recently I gave my copy of Atlas Shrugged to a friend’s 20 year old son. He’s a fairly sharp kid but hadn’t read it.

I am hapy to say he loved it. He commented that people shouldn’t be allowed to vote until they read it - haha!

Does anybody remember a fellow named Richard Jewell?

Richard Jewell, the Olympic security guard who first discovered a pipebomb minutes before it exploded at the 1996 games in Atlanta, held a press conference in October that year to talk about the how the FBI and the media had made his life “a nightmare.”

Rather than think that Mr. Jewell was some sort of “hero”, the FBI was directed to treat him as a “suspect”. If memory serves, there was a culture of going after the whistleblower back then, just as there has been a similar culture in this campaign of The One.

Now “Joe the Plumber” is getting comparable treatment, and for no more than asking a question that wasn’t on the script.

Has the Obama campaign no shame?

I am close but on a smaller scale. If McCain wins then I will expand. If Obama wins then I will not. I am waiting for election day before I do anything.

Donate & volunteer to McCain-Palin 2008.

Shouldn't you wait until someone is at least 25 to ruin their life?
