If you had dropped the “oxy” and had simply written “moron” I would agree with you wholeheartedly.

3. 2001 Bush Tax Cuts – this is suppose to create jobs – Where are the jobs? Clinton did not lower taxes and jobs created under his administration a total oif 23.1 million jobs.
4. Republican administration – did not pay for tax cuts.
5. Republican administration – got us into 2 wars lasting 9 years each and oh by the way not paid for.
6. Mitch McConnell 2010 his and the Rupublican party is to make Obama a one term President. REALLY, shouldn’t their first Goal have been to get our country back on track and get people working again – no matter who was President. Their responsibility is Country over Party.

Being a small business in a hard-core Republican state (Florida) I can attest to the unadulterated fact that, although Republicans’ rhetoric may be “small business friendly,” their actions are just the opposite. Over the past 2 years, most of the legislation the GOP has pushed through the FL legislature has been a downright assault on small businesses; making it harder (and extremely expensive) to start up a business or break into territory now reserved for giant corporations. For example; Florida Republicans, in a bid to placate big-donor Agribusiness corporations and PACs, have literally created a new class of small farmer, “The Outlaw Farmer.” If you grow food in this state and if you are not extremely well funded, you can forget about selling your food legally to the public.

President Obama’s policies for helping small businesses is being sabotaged by Republicans who want to call a small business one with 500 employees. The only reason they do this is so they can get in on that federal funding for their crony industries.

Most Americans would be ill if they knew the exact dollar amount that this latest Republican skankola is going to hand to businesses that need ZERO help. Mom and Pop businesses who do all say that the few hundred dollars they’ll get from the latest Republicans skankery won’t help them hire new employees.

Republicans today will stop at nothing up to and including lying just to maintain the wealth of 1% and Big Business. Where in the Constitution does it say taxes must help obscenely profitable businesses collect our tax dollars to keep them that way?

Only Republicans say this…the Constitution doesn’t.

What some Americans don’t get is this: You don’t have to be the only source of wealth for those 1%ers. Look. Face facts. All businesses fail eventually for one reason or another. What the Republicans are doing is using American taxpayers as insurance against failure of their crony industries whose expiration date is long past.

A recent review of the stream of taxpayer dollars going into businesses that are anything but small and undeserving of ANY taxpayer funding shows up to 60% of federal tax revenues are assisting businesses that need NO assistance. They are already obscenely profitable without taxpayer help.

Take your country back like the right wing Republicans told you to do…just not the WAY they told you to do it. Their way is nothing more than turning your taxpayer dollars into more profit for Big Business. Our way is to take a long look around your own little towns and take note of which Mom and Pop businesses could use your help. That’s the WAY…to turn your backs on being a hostage of the Republican Wealth Cartel.

so…. give tax cuts to those who dont need it?…. REALLY?? they want to eliminate the minimum wage?… REALLY??

…at what point do Americans figure out who the GOP people really represent? its not working Americans thats for sure. TEN YEARS of bush tax cuts allready have shown that the so-called “job creators” dont use the money to do anything more than stuff their pockets with it like chipmunks while workers & the economy suffers….

once again the GOP is the only political party on the planet that complains that government isnt working FOR the people…. and makes Damn sure it doesnt!!

Sounds like a Congressman to me = quick to criticize others when they are no better themselves. Everyone has a right to their opinion and we all make mistakes. The better person will accept the fact we are human and ignore the minor things – that is unless they are in Congress and the petty things seems to be their meat and potatoes!

Representative Sessions and Congressional Republicans should have been standing with small business in 2006 and 2007 when the Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, Small Business Administration and Chamber of Commerce were all pushing Bush to fix the problems that were hurting small business. They also were trying to get Bush to force a return of billions of dollars earmarked for small business development that had been channeled into big business; Bush did nothing standing on his philosophy that Big Business can take care of itself.

My biggest disappointment with Obama has been that he did not fix the problems Bush was being pushed to fix and failed to do so. The bottom line ; The Republicans have spread so much dome and gloom and negativism toward expanding business, hiring new employees and starting new business that everyone has been spooked. Any talk about the Republicans standing with small business across the nation is just more smoke screening!

Typical knee-jerk reaction by useful idiots. Believe anything you hear from the Left and spout anger & hatred, when the real enemy of your freedom, upward mobility, & security is the growing Federal Government, that is bankrupt & the interest on our debt alone will consume all your sacred social programs, then what? Come on already, become informed.
It is NOT the 1% vs the 99%, it is the 49% dependent on government with 51% paying for it. When the 49% reaches 51%, the partys over. Quit buying this class warfare for them to get re-elected.
