Big business is anti-thesis to free market. Ask a small business owner who can't compete with Walmarts of the world and eventually has to fold up. Big business is essentially no different than big government, and when they form an alliance, as has been the case for decades, if not couple of centuries, freedom loses, people lose.
He's mad about re-regulation, poor little thing. He just vaguely said the biz community has the standard bees in its bonnet, but wasnt at all specific. ""The business community feel there is a hostility coming from this administration...." and speculates completely wrong about the Obama Administration's "motivation". Ed totally kicked his ass. Thanks for posting this.
The "people" you're thinking of have no place at the "free market" table, and never have had. Dont be such a guard dog.
I'm a small shop in business, and I have a place at the table.
I would fight side by side with you to eliminate the carve-outs and special tax deals and preferences granted to big companies through the corrupt lobbying process. I wish "economic development" ransoms paid to big companies were illegal--ruled unconstitutional for not being "equal treatment under the law"--so that states and cities would compete for employers based on the quality of schools, services, infrastructures and all else that gets robbed to pay the tax waivers. None of this has to do with partisan politics--both parties have auctioned off the Tax Code for campaign contributions. No politician is addressing these issues.
But this is still a mostly free country, and a person is still free to make the most of their own abilities and talents. I agree with you on many things--but some of the cures proposed have a terrible impact on the small businessperson. On those issues we fight with each other, not side by side.

And none of the bastards in DC are going to...the ability ask for audits or give tax breaks gives politicians far to much power.
