- Well, NO, it wasn't. Where we went wrong was to start supporting lazy bums that won't educate themselves out of poverty and just started throwing money at them instead of making them take care of themselves.
It's just so easy to be hateful and nasty because somebody else has something you don't and you want it and think you have the right just to DEMAND that somebody else work and hand it to you.
If you want it, get up and earn it, or else be satisfied with your own stagnation. - Reply to this comment
- Yeah I like HR Perot too. United we stand all the way--hey! As far as Obama being anti-business, he still hasn't cancelled the tax breaks for the rich like he said he was going to. And what about taxing those making over 250k a year. Haven't heard too much about that. Dems are talking more about taxing gas. Pretty regressive if you ask me. Can you imagine how rich we all would be if we had elected Perot all those years ago?

- Corporations should not have all the rights of individuals, but where exactly do you think America ends up when the engine of business is shut off completely?

- It's really sad that everythign devolves into this ype of remark. I voted for Obama, but I'm not wearing the t-shirt and shouting everyone down. It is possible to have two crappy presidents in a row. Obama is retreating from every progressive idea he held. I don't know what he stands for anymore, except caving in. In 3 months I won't even recognize him.

- It's certainly a weird business philosophy. I'm interested to see where he is in 6 months. Does this develop in stages, or collapse outright?

- Fred, you simpering dolt,
don't you ever tire of this crap? What writting this stuff day after day must do to your mind..well I don't have to imagine; it's on display right here. Fred Barnes is crying for Bush and the Bush policies. He's like one of three people in the country still missing his old pal. - Reply to this comment
- Is business anti-America? Yes. If corporations had a lick of patriotism - real patriotism and not the draping of the flag over themselves whenever they want something - then I'd be worried. Since the neo-cons are anti-American, I'm glad the president is anti-business. Pretty soon even the fast-food jobs will be shipped over seas otherwise.

- So companies like Intel, Cisco or Microsoft are anti-America? Even though they give MILLIONS of dollars a year for education and scholarships? What about companies like Pepsi, McDonald's and Coke that donate millions of dollars to our Olympic athletes? What about the companies that make equipment/supplies/services for the military? Are they also anti-America? The only anti-America group is the Left-leaning Liberals like you that want to dictate what people can and can't eat, what health insurance they'll have, which cars they'll drive, how warm/cool their homes will be and pay taxes for services they don't want or need. Pull your head out of your Obama and wake-up!
- H.R Perot was clearly for business,but rabidly against the LOBBYISTS -use for pseudo capitalism by crooked CEO trash.

- "But he's also studying "the ways in which the means and manner of executive compensation contributed to a reckless culture and quarter-by-quarter mentality that in turn have wrought havoc in our financial system." To decipher that, Obama thinks high CEO pay spurred the economic dip"
No, that is NOT what that means. It means that, with CEOs, playing with other people's money is not a win-or-lose proposition, it's a win or break EVEN deal with no risk to them. They have a great incentive to take risks that they would find personally unacceptable, but since it isn't their money, we get a "what the heck" attitude. With hundreds of tangled, indecipherable derative deals, and arrogance that would make a Caeser or Pharoh blush, small wonder the industry went down the toilet and took the rest of the economy with it. Barnes himself would do well to get off of his soapbox and go get a real job for a couple of years - he might learn something. - Reply to this comment
- So we should all vote for the INCOMPETENT Confederate Party and TRICKLE DOWN Economics... LOL I remember what my old dad told me once. You give a working man a buck and some Greedy Business Man will find a way to produce a good or service to get that buck. THAT is where we went wrong with Trickle Down or Supply Side. IF you have NO demand feeding supply will do NO good. That's why Trickle Down, has not, will not and can NOT work.

- TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS - you couldn't comment without bringing up trickle down economics, again......do you dream trickle ? how pathetic
- If it wasn't for the greedy business man, you would still be wearing animal skins and be eating things that fell out of trees. Be careful about what you criticize.

I vote we just stick a pen in the rich guys hand make him write a check. If he refuses we tie him to an innertube and push him out to the 7 seas. In response to what you have written as far as I know an education costs alot of money. Money we do not have. I would like to have an education but there is no way to get one.
