Yeah, if you don't let us do whatever we want, destroying the economy and then asking for a government bailout,.....we'll destroy the economy anyway, so just suck it up.

Great people.

It's not as if corporations would be investing in the US. Investment to them is expanding internationally.

They may also be holding back to see how Obama's trips to Asia went. During Obama's press conference in Thailand he mentioned that he looks forward to working with Thailand in the creation of jobs in both Thailand and the US. Yeah, right, the US. I'm sure he made the same promises to Myanmar and Burma if they clean up their act.

The Obama economy is about to go over a cliff. Even the NY Times is begrudgingly reporting the obvious.

For the wealthy like Mr. Wynn, the overriding goal is to record as much of their future income this year as they can. This includes moves as diverse as sales of businesses, one-time dividends and the sale of stocks that have been big winners.
“In my 30 years in practice, I’ve never seen such a flood of desire and action to transfer a business and cash out,” said Kenneth K. Bezozo, a partner in New York with the law firm Haynes and Boone. “We’re seeing a watershed event.”
Whether small business owners or individuals saving for retirement, investors are being urged by their advisers to reconsider their holdings. Along the way, many are shedding the very investments that have been the most popular over the last year, contributing to recent sell-offs in formerly high-flying shares like Apple and Amazon.

Yeah, and what idiot couldn't see this coming?

If you want to see something disappear all you have to do is tax it or set price controls on it.


Now it is really going to get bad which is something nobody is looking forward to because I got to live too.

The idea that anyone takes pleasure in what is about to happen is ludicrous and childish. Does anyone really wish for the economy to tank just for an "I told you so" moment?
