This guy isn't doing us any favors since he doesn't "need" to start the business and can sit on his money all he wants (Great way to invest those millions in capital he has) This thread is just another "waah, I want Obama out thread so I'm going to make up some imaginary scenario in which I won't start a lucrative business until he's gone." wah
My guess is you have never run a business.

I will sit on my cash so it is NOT helping Obama's economy.

Your guess would be completely wrong.

So you will sit on your cash so it is not helping the US economy. Fine. I stand by my original statement of "cutting off your nose to spite your face". Sheesh.

Me too! Except I haven't had to sweat, cry, or bleed myself over it. Just simple planning, making business contacts, looking at specific laws governing things relevant to my upcoming business.

Haven't had this problem. According to all the numbers I've crunched for my business, it'd still be profitable in this market. I already know that, for a fact, no equivalent exists within 500 miles of where I plan to have it. Heck, the only ones I can think of are about 2000 miles away and are extremely profitable.

My business plan will stay on the back burner until this President and his anti-business minions are gone for good. I surmise that i'm not the only one with this plan.
The only thing that I'm having to wait for is the land to be prepared in the area I'm scouting.

I sit back and laugh at the posts saying.... "your business plan must suck"....."any intelligent person would just jump and do it"....."must be Junior Achievement" yada yada yada. But yet none of these people have spelled out WHY it's a good idea for me to start this business in this economic climate. LOL It's because it's easier for you to sit on the forum and engage in Obama's Class Warfare Schtick (ie. Business Sucks!) than it is to exude knowledge of economic and business principles. Hardly a single one of you have a clue what it means to run a multi-million dollar business, but yet i'm supposed to take advice from you? LOL

0bama has been like a wrecking ball, to both the economy and business community. Every couple months he or his administration are demonizing some new part of the public sector, screaming for new tax increases, creating new federal regulations which must be complied with and paid for, all of which unravel or complicate the plans and operations of a business. I've heard your exact story repeated over and over, people are getting small and trying to wait out this 0bama storm.

You have to go with YOUR gut feeling.....

And it is still frighting.

Best of luck when you are ready.

You are wrong, it's common sense. When there is baseball sized hail falling to the ground you don't choose to simply ignore it and you don't take the risk of going outside.

Some people here seem to be at Jack Handy's level of understanding of business and finance:

"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."
