As cash runs low in government coffers around the country, politicians are ratcheting up the intensity of their search for revenue and new areas to regulate. Small businesses are in their cross-hairs in a mammoth, nationwide shakedown. They are the nation's critical engine for growth, innovation and job creation, yet they are being starved for credit and slammed with more taxes, government directives and litigation exposure.

I only know three individuals who can qualify as ‘small business owners’.

Two of these people are blindly and rabidly Liberal.

The other one is an very disgusted Conservative.

Soon, the two Liberals will join the club. I am watching and waiting.

It is definitely time we make sure the world knows we are the party of NO! We KNOW what you're up to, and the answer is NO!

It is just so frustrating. They are so addicted to power and spending that they can't stand even the prospect of losing either.

I was at HS graduation yesterday. It's a predominantly non-white school. I would guess less than five percent of the students are Caucasian. It's probably 60-40 Black/Hispanic. There were about 5,000 or so in the audience. Three speakers mentioned Obama by name, one of them pointed out that America had elected its first Black president. I was expecting the crowd to give it up at the mention of Obama, but it was absolutely quiet. I mean not a whisper of applause or cheering! I was stunned. Three times he was mentioned and he didn't get a single bit of applause. The mention of Michael Jackson brought a huge response. Gee, Mr. President, how does it feel to be regarded less fondly than a deceased child molester?

I don't know that to make of the crowd's lack of response to Obama being mentioned. I would have expected at least a ripple of applause, but nothing. Coulda heard a pin drop!

Maybe he's wearing out his welcome?

Sunset on the Bush tax-cuts will push unemployment to 25% and depress the stock market DOW to 5000 or less—all according to the kenyan marxist’s plan to destroy US wealth and power.

Democrats are a virus. They feed off of the host until they kill it.

or as one analyst in Europe put it, as soon as we get thru the current wave of Western election cycles, “governments are going to tax everything that moves” beginning next year.
