The point you missed, by being obtuse, is that the 10% tax on tanning booths is just one small example of how stupid, nonsensical federal regulations kill jobs, by vastly increase the costs of running a business.

I know a small time handyman who had to give up his decades long job, because of new EPA regulations for freaking home and business window installers. His out of work status is just another statistic to add to the income disparity meter, thanks to government regulations and government stupidity.

No, this guy did not lose his job because of direct intervention by 0bama, but 0bama is the disease carrier, and his administration is the cancer.

So........by your reasoning here, "the recovery" Schultz spoke of was left by Bush as well?

Quite a conundrum.

I don't know about your anecdotal evidence about small time handyman losing his job, but I have a friend who is a small time handyman and he is doing great. See how that works. Could it be your "friend" is suffering just like most people who worked in the housing industry are suffering, which has absolutely nothing to do with Obama, of course not, that would be obtuse thinking.

So again another poster who can not say one thing that Obama has done to cause the lower wages.

Are you even AWARE the top 10% pay over 70% of the taxes?

How much more of a "fair share" do you want them to pay?

Stop deflecting from the disaster of obama's Wreckovery.

The fact that taxes are based on a "percent" of one's income, your above statement certainly underscores the income disparity of our county!

Why aren't you at the White House protesting?

Obamanomics is to blame.

Ask him if he installs windows in people homes or businesses. If he does, he just inherited a huge new cost to doing business.
