What makes you the d a m n e d expert? What are your credentials?

You didn't answer yet! Personally, after 20 years of higher education while attempting to graduate while working full-time and raising two children as a single parent, I have an interdisciplinary degree in education, business and history. I don't think I get all of my information from Rush Limbaugh, particularly since I never listen to him.

Again your just parroting Rush and yes that does make you look silly because your information is bogus.

The "bailouts" were enacted by the Bush administration before they left office.

Guess Bush was a "socialist"?

Socialism

1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Nice cut and paste job Skippy.

Can you define what you mean by socialism when you throw the word around?

Or are you just parroting a word you don't understand?

It's called "closing the door".

Larger businesses, having gotten over "the hump" want to discourage smaller competitors from eating into their market share. What better way than to tax those "small growing to medium" businesses such that they can never make it into the "large" category. Is it any wonder that Obama was the recipient of so much money from Wall Street and groups of attorneys?

Afterall, how many of the Fortune 500 would have failed in infancy if they, at their inception, had been subject to as much government regulation as current small businesses face, even those that work purely with intellectual property? Let's see, even if the most dangerous thing in the office is the laser printer you still have to pay into workmans comp, unemployment insurance, FICA, are charged with the task of withholding money for the IRS, have to implement ADA and EEOC provisions, and now are faced with a tax on anything they HAPPEN to have left after paying all those government hidden taxes, and regular income taxes, and so now, instead of using their profits to EXPAND their business, they have to pay a larger chunk of them over to the government so they can EXPAND their entitlement programs, which do NOTHING for the economy.

I'll keep the folding ones, you can keep "The Change".

When all the businesses fail, we can bail them out with tax dollars.

98% of all small business will get a tax cut under Obama's plan. What are you talking about?

Parroting Rush just makes you look silly.

I look silly? Isn't bailing out businesses that Obama has been doing for the last 100 days? At last count, didn't it come to about 10 trillion dollars?

Only today, those in government fool you by talking dollars, not property, and telling you they will tax the other guy.

That's the trouble with socialism, it works all right until you run out of other people's money.
