The size of the federal government has DOUBLED over the last 10 years.
You dont even understand Obamacare because it doesnt provide tax credits to small businesses, its a tax INCREASE, which then subsidides others.. If my tax goes up, so I can fund your "subsidy", this doesnt mean my taxes drop.
How the hell do you think Obamacare = a "surplus" to the federal government because thats IMPOSSIBLE, without tax increases..
Uncertainty currently is being caused by government
Yes, some in the government are causing uncertainty. Republicans are threatening to repeal health reform, that causes uncertainty. Republicans are threatening to repeal Wall St. reform, that causes uncertainty. Republicans were threatening a government shutdown, that causes uncertainty. Republicans are currently threatening a US default, that causes uncertainty.
So yes, I agree. People in government are causing uncertainty.
Americans should get paid no less than $20/hour in government jobs. This way we can create a two caste system. The comrade commissars who get to rule over the ordinary people, and the serfs who will be under their command and who's obedience you can demand. It is right that state governments are reducing staff. This way we can have a more centralized government recruitment effort. To witness centralization's success, look no further to how well centralization worked for the IT realm when mainframe technology was prevalent.
It's your patriotic duty to work for the federal government, in order to maximize your superiority over the common working man and small business owner and to provide for your family at private industry's expense.
Yeah, I seen them say that, but I'm not foolish enough to believe that states, saving $10M a year on average, will rebate this amount of money and simply not respend it..

Bull crap.. If they didnt care about offering care, and only cared about profit, then they wouldnt offer care to begin with.. The fact is they offer care, because it offers an incentive to hire the most qualified individuals..

There is NOTHING that the United States government can do change that and the fact that investment dollars are going to chase those lower labor costs for profit. The fundamental economic dynamic in the world today is that wealth and economic growth is flowing away from the United States and Europe and toward, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. It's the labor cost, natural resources and demographics in those regions that are going to drive worldwide economic growth for the foreseeable future.
Ahh, short sighted views got you ignoring things like transportation costs, profit unification taxes, import taxes etc. Its GOVERNMENT and their non stop mandates forcing companies to offshore their production to other countries, which leads to government enticing other offshored companies to produce here. Why do you think Chinese environmental companies are expanding in america? Because they want to pay more for labor? No, because they want the "tax credits"..

So its your argument is that it would be better to offer policies that bankrupt the country, rather than fiscal responsibility, because at least we know what the outcome is?
Clearly you dont run a business and have never studied business.
Staying on topic, I will ask again ..... Are you blaming Obama for this guy being successful or are you blaming Obama for this guy not being more successful? A simple question that has yet to be answered.

It's pretty obvious that the point of this thread is that business expansion is being hindered by a number of factors all with roots in the current administration's policies.

I think the neo-progs are ignoring that and simply dismissing it because a few businesspeople are willing to naively gamble on growth. They refuse to look at the aggregate effect and focus on some outliers instead.

No one did either. We are discussing why this guy, and others around the country take governmental policies into account, before they decide if the risk, is worth the reward, and with an unknown future, both due to economic situations, and governmental policies, which is making the economic situations much worse than it should be, by continguing to threaten to take away that "success", one would be foolish to take extraordinary risks in todays society.
the success of this guys business is not enough. He should be more successful without taking a risk, or gambling, as you suggest.
If he does nothing, he is stuck with a successful business. The horror.
