What a pathetic approach. Either a flat out lie, or some sort of lame attempt at extortion on the side of the business community. Frankly, this is the model of the GOP congress right now. Don't do a damn thing, because you might be able to make Obama look bad and gain advantage. The country be damned.

I think this approach is a turd sandwich, but by all means serve up a whole buffet, and see who does not come to dinner.

Yea, makes perfect sense.

Again, you own a business like i own a Ferrari.
No fool like a fool so foolish he cannot see. Once again you have convinced me just how pathetic liberalism and its adherents are. Thanks for he confirmation.

It is obvious that you are so interested in name calling, that you didn't read what I said. I said I have gone from a 25% annual rate of growth, to a yearly shrinkage of about $60,000. Now that is not hurting me, per se, but the numbers are smaller. So, contrary to your childish remarks, I am working through it.

But thanks for putting on display what you really are, and really are NOT. Liberals always seem to show their true colors, given the opportunity, and I thank you for it.
Excuse me, but you're a small businessperson, and you've already claimed to have lost 180k in business.

And now you say that it isn't hurting you? What small businessman can lose that kind of business and NOT be hurting?

You've stated your reason for not hiring in the above post...your business is shrinking...not because of Obama. You should stop there because that's the last plausible thing you've said.

I am so tired of the "victim" mentality of the Obama haters. Take responsibility for your own business shortcomings.
You went from squeezing your own lemons to using pre-made mix? Good move!!!!

It makes sense. They can't hire because of Obama, they might as well wait til the man is gone, and the economy gets back on it's feet. Why is that stupid?

Must be hard looking at the sea of red on your balance sheets while waiting for a corporate welfare handout from the GOP.

We're expanding. Buy low, sell high. No worries, Obama will be gone in a year and if not we'll just keep buying and growing while Obama's policies continue to make people nervous and land and materials cheap.

If things start picking up we'll not be able to grow as fast but we can get rid of properties high and then just wait till the next economic downturn and buy again.

Obama is hendering economic growth with his command economy policies. I don't see why we should be self delusional because of that. We'll make money either way and no matter what the composition of congress or the presidency is. We'll get plenty of notice if congress and the president go confiscatory.
