...one thing that really scares me about this guy is when he talks about creating small businesses...I don’t think he has any understanding of small business...he thinks small business is rib joints, pool rooms, barber shops, used car lots, tatoo parlors, hair n nail shops, bars ect....that’s what he saw on the streets of the inner city...what the DEM inspired ‘liar loan’ fiasco did for housing he could do for small biz loans....leading to massive defaults on those loans.
I disagree. His idea of a small business is one that used to have 5,000 employees now only employs 26, all of whom are Democrats. That’s his ideal small business. Don’t you know, corporations are the cause of all our problems!
His idea of seeking a job is to go to a government office for a handout, either via a check or a public sector job.
