So I guess he wants us to think that business owners are the cause of our great unemployment problem. They are the cause since they have not been hiring enough people.
But you have to give the guy a break. He has never run a business. He has no idea how to run a business. He does not know what a budget is.
Obama is in a position to just hire more people. That's what the government does. Obama can just hire more people and pay them higher wages any time he chooses to. He doesn't have to earn a profit, so maybe he thinks all businesses are run like the government.
"...President Obama announced that U.S. business leaders had an obligation, yes an obligation, to the country to hire more workers, pay better wages and keep jobs in the country. He is now calling on American companies to see themselves as partners with the government saying: "That government and businesses have a mutual responsibilities; and that if we fulfill these obligations together, it benefits us all."
Does the President really think that the purpose of business is to hire people and provide jobs? Is he really so clueless about the employee/employer relationship?
The purpose of business is to provide some product or service for which there is a demand, and in so doing, to make a profit for the owners. In order to do this, they hire a workforce of men and women for which they pay a salary or wage in accordance with the value (determined largely by the job market) of their service to the company. This is mutually agreed upon at the time a person is hired (except in the case of Union employees, who are paid according to what the Union determines is the correct value for that workers service — anyone see a problem with that relationship?).
A business isn't a charity. Nor does it exist to assist government in some scheme to assure every person has a job. It does not exist to further some notion or pipe dream of "economic democracy" (a Marxist/socialist idea — are we getting a picture here?).
This is what you get when you elect a "Community Organizer" (a.k.a. "community agitator") to hold the highest office in the land.
It is the job of government, not business, to ensure the kind of economic climate where business can prosper. That is what is meant by the clause in the Constitution, "promote the General Welfare". This means that the government should stay out of the way and not impede the growth of business with burdensome regulation and over taxation. Those two things alone are job killers.
As we remember Ronald Reagan on the 100th aniversary of his birth, Mr. Obama would do well to remember his words, "Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem"
If he'd get the hell out of the way and stop pushing the EPA, IRS & other job-killing entities to continue to over-regulate to the point where small and large businesses aren't going to hire anybody in numbers (if at all) that would help turn the economy around, we might get a legitimate recovery going, as opposed to the super-anemic one currently in progress.
As long as he continues to deliberately put people out of work to please those who helpe4d get him elected (such as the ongoing embargo on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico & elsewhere), a sustained & vigorous recovery is a pipe dream.
That is a perfect idea! Let those people whom feel Obummer is right open businesses and hire all those crazy lefties for the 'collective good.' See how quickly they fail.
As a business owner, I will just wait it out and will not hire until this idiot is out of office and some of the disaster from the Dems have been cleaned up a bit.
A business owner who needs more workers but refuses to hire more until Obama is out of office? LMAO....seriously?
How does that work exactly? If the demand for your services are high enough that you need more workers, then you're LOSING money if you don't hire them. That's business that your competitors are lapping up. Seriously, i've never heard of this particular business tactic....a businessman refusing to hire until a certain president is out of office although he needs the extra workers to expand his business.
Sorry...but i gotta call BULL on this one!
