Evil Whitey, wanting to employ people! Probably even BLACK PEOPLE!! He was no doubt born with a silver spoon in his mouth AND a corporate jet!!
Very sad. Some mornings in Obamaland, it is hard to get out of bed. What’s the point?
Shirley, you don't believe that.
I'm one. When Axelrod's Obama v. 0.9, Deval Patrick, was elected governor in Mass I shut down my business and began the process of moving to TX. Even now that I'm in TX I will not start up a new business until the socialists who control DC are put on the run.
Who is John Galt?
Agreed...this is HUGE, and needs wider exposure.

Ping. If the link doesn’t work, there’s a Google cache link in #6. I think this is going viral and his server is getting hammered.
I started my law practice in the fall of 2009 after working as a prosecutor.
All my peers told menu was insane to start any kind of business during such a poor economy.
They got to practice while the getting was good, so they knee how bad it was.
Of course I didn’t listen, and it has been rough.
But God has taken care of us and my practice is doing well.
People call and bring by resumes and applications all the time.
I have to tell them that I can only afford to pay myself.
If it weren’t for social security taxes aline I could afford at least a secretary or maybe a paralegal.
But taking on an employee (even here in Texas) is quite burdensome.
So I am just being content to keep it simple and small.
There just isnt the pay off there use to be for taking risks and expanding.
Thanks for that link. I had never heard of this documentary. I will try to get my hands on it tonight.
Send the link to Drudge. I already sent it once, but maybe if enough of us do it then DR will pick it up.
This needs wide exposure.
Mr. Bryant can't be an Ayn Rand hero. He shows too much concern for ordinary people.
“There are a lot of Ronnie Bryants out there right now.”
Yep! I am one of them also. I closed my business two+ years ago and retired to Myrtle Beach. We trust in God for our provision daily, grow most of our own produce, drive older cars, do all of our own repairs, fish a good bit more than I used to, hunt when the snakes aren’t too aggressive, and live quite well on my meager social security benefits.
I may crank up another business in the future, but not if the government doesn’t change direction. More than likely we will drop completely off the grid when it is just my wife and I.
I agree with the man’s premise but I also want to know who, working in a coal mine, is paid $150,000 a year?
Wage inflation continues to pass me by.

Who is John Galt? (((ping)))
I'm guessing: mining engineers, geologists, continuous miner operator, experienced crew bosses ?
A couple weeks ago I began to read “Atlas Shrugged”, and was so pissed off by page 50 that I had to put it down. It’s so relevant, it could’ve been written last year.
The government is doing its best to ruin the country by punishing achievers, thinkers, savers, etc.
A little off point but my nephew, who lives north of Atlanta, told us that people who collect rain water to use for plants, etc., will probably be taxed. And there’s talk of Uncle Sam taxing those who grow their own food — have seen several FR threads on this.
It’s enough to make anyone want to just give up.
