i thought this was a very good article on how people are beginning to wake up to just how anti-business this current administration is.

here is the link followed by a couple of interesting points

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/08/06/america-and-didnt-build-that-revolution/

"As the Heritage Foundation has recently noted, in his first three years in office President Obama imposed some 106 major regulations on American businesses, compared to 28 under George W. Bush. Another 144 are in the pipeline waiting to be unleashed, if Obama is reelected in November.
According to the World Bank, the cost of starting a business in the United States has doubled since 2007, and in “ease of starting a business” we’ve dropped from third in the world in 2007 to thirteenth."

"We’ve seen it in the latest Gallup polls, which show 63% of Americans see Mitt Romney’s business background as a positive for getting this country back on economic track, and that among national priorities taxing the rich –the centerpiece of Obama’s entire economic strategy–finished dead last."

No offense, but I cannot read any "opinion" piece from Fox or any other pundit celebrity news network.

Most of what they call "news" is opinion anyway, so a labeled "opinion" piece might make me gag.

I always just write F-- News because I don't want to use obscenities. Never mind that businesses get far more breaks and deductions than the average person.

I say "nevermind" to the fact that it was an opinion piece on a Fox News.

Watching Fox News or MSNBC is the equivalent of getting your current events from the National Enquirer or from random idiot posts on Twitter.

Bush 2 had the least amount of regulation of any president for a long time and the second biggest economic crash happened under his watch. Same thing happened in the late 20's. Doing the math, it looks like when businesses are allowed to do whatever they like with no oversight or accountability, the economy falters....

so you don't think the housing buybble fueled by governemnt programs going back to carter, that went as far as letting people use food stamps as a source of viable income to get loans for houses had anything to do with the crash???..

what news sourse do you follow in this country???..of the big three fox leans right and msnbc and cnn lean left (msnbc falls over leaning left)..
none are unbiased..all have agendas...i rate them as cnn being closest to the middle , fox next and msnbc somewhere outhere partying with karl marx

if you ra elooking for american news with a european slant russia today is about the best i've found..they are based out of dc, i think, and do a lot of stories of the US... think you get a good feel from them about how a lot of europe looks at us..

days of hardhitting imdepedant journalism are long gone in this country

"so you don't think the housing buybble fueled by governemnt programs going back to carter, that went as far as letting people use food stamps as a source of viable income to get loans for houses had anything to do with the crash???.."

Nope, that didn't happen.

"that went as far as letting people use food stamps as a source of viable income to get loans for houses"

You really must stop listening to F.S.

"Top Stories" vs "Headlines"??

That's apples and oranges. Those "headlines" are AP's or Reuter's, copied word for word.

still don't think this administration is at war with american business...of the top guitar makers gibson is the only non-union labor guitar maker in america

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/06/justice-hits-gibson-guitars-with-300g-fine-over-fingerboards/?test=latestnews

gibson is fined for buying unfinished wood...if the wood was finished by madagascar workers then there would be no violation...and read the last sentence..gibson "may " have broken the law...they didnt even know

i wonder if fender uses the same wood??..

when this first started the feds wrote a letter to fender stating..ship your labor overseas
quote from the ceo
"The Gibson Guitar saga has taken a sinister turn.

It seems that the Department of Justice wasn’t satisfied with merely raiding the law abiding factories of Gibson Guitar with armed agents, shutting down their operation costing them millions, and leaving the American company in the dark as to how to proceed without going out of business.

Now, according to CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, agents of the United States government are bluntly informing them that they’d be better off shipping their manufacturing labor overseas."

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another one you didn't read through? You really must stop getting your 'news' from F.S. !!

The investigation of Lacey Act violations by Gibson began in 2008. That was under the administration YOU voted for twice. And Gibson admitted their wrongdoing.

That is a nasty habit you have of reading until you think you have something, then stopping. But it does show you being a blatant partisan.

Looks about the same.

The Heritage Foundation is a great resource, baggio.

i thought fox had more intersting stuff but its all opinion..i love that story about fender...obvious the government went after them because they are non union..actually telling them to ship their manufacturing overseas...wow

what's their view on foriegn policy??...i always thought they were very pro war.. more neocon than conservative

Did you bother to tell anyone why Gibson was told to ship the manufacturing overseas? Or would that have crushed you partisan rant?
Gibson would be able to use the illegally obtained wood overseas in the country of the wood's source, which would be within the Law of the Lacey Act, and within the international agreements we keep. The law was made so that a foreign nation's forestry wasn't stripped for a buck.

Think you need to study up on what caused this past housing bubble. It's much deeper than the Bush/Democrat/Republican mantra you've hearing on the cable channels.
And as for the '20s,' I never did receive an answer from you regarding what specific policies were enacted that fueled and deepened the Great Depression, and 'who' enacted them:(

Bush and the Republican/conservative congress deregulated Wall Street to be able to go into the banking, mortgage and insurance businesses. They in turn churned mortgages, making 'creative financing' to persuade buyers. Simple math tells the truth. A balloon mortgage came due in 5 years. The crisis started 5 years after Bush deregulated. Say 'duh' for me.

As for the 1920s, Coolidge did the same thing, Hoover continued it and we crashed then, and the conservative crowd didn't learn anything from it and did it again under Bush.

You post it, I'll correct it.

Why don't you mopes go get laid?
