Which is a major reason why the economy has been so slow to recover. Businesspeople are hesitant to hire new employees, given the uncertainty in tax rates and health care costs.
Tax rates and health care costs are not the reason businesses are not hiring so much. It is uncertainty. People are spending less because they want to save money in these times hurting demand, and until demand returns businesses are hesitant to hire new employees. This leads people to spend thus, less a vicious cycle occurs.

At some point confidence will slowly start to build back up and people will spend more, and more hiring will occur. The economy is making a gradual recovery, but with the Euro crisis, Arab Spring, and the China bubble possible bursting very soon there is still a lot of uncertainty and a fear that markets will shrink even more.

At this point the recovery is out of governments hand. In fact people give the government, and the president, too much credit for economic success and failure.

Economics is much more advanced than just 'taxes" and other such buzzwords.

It's really something to watch people who don't understand business or how it operates, or who have never owned a business.

People go into business to make profits ... not to make life easier on the public.

If a company gets all of it's products for one penny a piece, and charges a 1000% or 5000% profit or more, and it's made out of cheep junk you don't have to buy it, and that if fair and legal.

The Japanese proved that back in the 60's and 70's.

In the 60's and 70's the Japanese manufactured their cars with our scrapped out WW-2 naval fleet...

In this decade, we (Obama) sent 25 millions old cars to China as shreded scrap metal.

The difference is this...Japan sent us cars and radios...China will produce products for the Chinese.

Who is the loser?
US...

because we do not have a productive infrastrusture to produce personal wealth for the ordinary citizen...(Wv being the exception).

Has anyone ever had a good pizza from Dominoes? I never have and I'm not that picky about food. I keep thinking I must be missing something here. I mean they couldn't stay in business this long if everyone experienced the mediocrity that I have. What should I order to experience their good food?

All their pizza sucks.

It is a question of quantity over quality. Dominoes is cheap bad pizza, and I would personally buy a frozen pizza than eat what they pass as Pizza. I feel there is a lot of Pizza ignorance in the US with many Americans, outside a few cities, never having had good pizza so they buy Dominoes.

As an added place the owner is a real douche.

I can think of 2 cheaper option than Dominos off the top of my head.
Little Caesars: $5 for a large Pizza (1 topping I know but still many people just stick with cheese or pepperoni)
Cicis: $5 for an all you can eat buffet, ranges from plain cheese to pizzas with 5 or 6 topings. Also, for 2-3 more one can get a large 3 topping Pizza from Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. Dominos isn't really providing much of an incentive which explains why the last time I ate there was in 2009. Their new Pizza recipe is actually a step down from their old one (which I thought was actually good)

Little Caesars, and especially, Cicis also have terrible pizza. Pizza hut is slightly better, but still not good. Papa Johns is ok, but I wouldnt say they have good pizza.
