No sane business person is going to attempt to grow their business by hiring, investing, or stocking up until the following horrific policies are defeated or repealed:

1) 0bummerCare
2) Cap and Tax
3) Nationalize Banking
4) Forced Unionization
5) Printing Trillions of Dollars
6) Increasing income, capital gains, and estate taxes
7) Nationalize Autos, Student Loans, Home Loans, etc.
