A truer or more correct analysis I have not found. I live this every day and have uttered most of these words at one time or another over the past two years (along with many four-letter and non-PC words as well).

Obama chastises the Chamer of Commerce, telling them “business had better start hiring.”

The article is spot on; there is too much uncertainty. How bad will Obamacare whack small business? How bad will the EPA globull warming regs whack small business? Energy prices are strongly up to pay for all the "green" crap while they shut down coal fired plants. Zero has closed the Gulf drilling industry. Postponing a massive tax increase on small business for two years instead of rescinding it was really dumb.

Lecturing the Chamber of Commerce won't creat any jobs. And neither will Zero's 1970's era policies.

This is a very good article.

I have a friend who owns a Sewing machine store. The top model sells for $10,000 dollars, even the mid priced model is $5,000, People can buy a lot of clothes for $5,000 dollars.
Another friend is in the truck repair business. When no one is building , no one is getting their truck fixed.
A friend in the florist business. Flowers cannot be eaten, unless somone dies no sales of flowers.

I can go on , I have a lot of friends.

Small Business will not be hiring, until people start spending.

No jobs, High priced Fuel, increased property taxes,High cost of food, Health Insurance rates rising, (Mine went up $35 a month) the High cost of heating homes in a really cold winter,almost no interest on savings,Fear of infation,(Government caused inflation) fear of losing pensions, Social Security frozen.

Many people have nothing to spend and others are afraid to spend.

Not happy at placing this generation in the toilet , the government has pledged out Grandchildrens future.

But Obama keeps flying and Golfing and playing B-ball, and having White Parties and ignores the trials of those middle class people he promised not to screw over.

Coincidentally I sent an e- mail to my friends a few days ago about businesses. Here is the body of the e- mail.

Obama doesn’t seem to understand that People go into business to make money, and not to create jobs for non-relatives.. Businesses create jobs because they are necessary for businesses to prosper.

Some businesses would sell you poison if they could make a profit. When times get tough all competitive businesses will try to get along with as few employees as possible, pay as little as possible and keep benefits as low as possible. That is the nature of Capitalism. Another nature of Capitalism is you don’t get jobs from poor people, you need business to create jobs. You should be encouraging business growth. - tom

Watch this video and see Obama’s socialist/communistic attitude toward businesses.- tom

Why THIS small businessman is not hiring:

Get your hand out of my pocket, Kenyan.

Pretty darn close to the mark. I heard myself several times as I read. Good article, it will get no attention.

For small business no attempt to do right is not punished by regulation. All the way from increased unemployment taxes, visits by OSHA over nothing, a new form to fill out or something new to keep up with for THE MAN. If they ever get their hooks into you all you will do most days is feed THE MAN.

An office front is just an invitation for someone you don’t want / need to see to know who you are and where you are.

Hiring people is a burden that only carries a punishment if you are not able to hire contractors. You only hire if you have to. Otherwise, you and your co-workers try to fly as low under the radar as you can.

Government needs to evaluate what is required not what is wanted. However, government does not have the experience or objectivity to understand the difference between a want and a need. To do so might mean there needs to be fewer of them and that their phony baloney cushy job would disappear.

This article could have been written about my family. Husband is a software contractor, we don’t have health insurance because we can’t afford the 1500$ a month for two adults and 3 kids. We pay all our own taxes, and we are getting crennelled in 2010, or so says our accountant. We are still waiting for the final tax tables to come in.

My brother just closed down his software consulting company. I tried to tell him back in 08 that Obama was NOT the dude to be voting for, so I suppose he got what he voted for. Its a shame though, the guy has 5 kids, no business, and no job. SCARY TIMES.

Things are getting WORSE not better.

I would take issue with only one thing:

Zer0 and the Rats are intentionlly forcing small business to close by making the business climate far more difficult for small business people with increased fees and taxes, attempts to mandate health insurance coveage for employees, onerous new regulation, and heavy-handed, punitive monetary enforcement of regulations.

The Marxist Rats don’t like the bourgeoisie. You can see that in Zer0’s condescending and accusatory remarks about businesses not hiring. The bourgeoisie thinks independently and is deemed the enemy for abusing their allies: the proletariat (labor)

As a small business owner, the article is spot on.
We’ll have a recovery when Obama leaves office, presuming he is replaced by someone who believes in capitalism.

The economy actually began to crater when it became clear Obama would be the Dem nominee. The productive class (investors and business owners) went Galt.

Great article.

There will be no improvement until the Kenyan and the Liberals in Washington are gone. It would also help immensely if about 90% of the government was axed permanently and 98% of it's pernicious regulations were revoked.

If anybody wants to know where the road we are currently on leads to, take a ride to Detroit.

The Washington establishment--the Fed, the Treasury, Congress, the Obama Administration-- seem to believe they've successfully pulled the propaganda wool over Americans' eyes, and that the yokels actually believe "things are getting better and better every day and in every way."

They may think so, but they're wrong. Dead wrong. Even stalwart dims who just a few short years ago were singing the messiah's praises have either been cowed into silence or are openly critical of Obama's handling of the economy.

It's been two solid years of nothing but bad news, and even the most powerful man in the country can't fool anyone anymore. If this country's to be saved, Obama has to go and fiscal sanity has to be brought to bear - soon.

How about Evergreen Solar closing its Devens, MA plant, laying off 800 workers and moving production to China?

Bad example. They received $58M in state aid (taxpayer money) from Massachusetts to open a factory in 2008.

Several of my clients are actually looking at another round of downsizing. One is closing the doors - 35 people out in the cold - next month.

......Small business re-discovered it could do more with less......

This is the money quote. The statement applies across the board to both small and large business. New hires are detrimental and perhaps even mortal

The unnecessary and those who were dead wood have been purged.
