Romney: Big Business is doing "fine".

[rdean]

"Big business is doing fine in many places," Romney said. "They get the loans they need. They can deal with all the regulation.

"They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses."

Pick your source

----------------------------------------------------

Seems they can deal with the Regulations. Remember, Obama put in place LESS regulations than George Bush. And many regulations actually come from the courts, nothing to do with the president or congress.

Worse, THEY KNOW HOW TO FIND WAYS TO GET THROUGH THE TAX CODE. How? By investing in countries overseas. Screw this country. Romney was telling this as a "good thing".

This is how Republicans want this country run????? And they become miffed when you tell them they vote against their own self interests. Well, here is it.

And worst of all is how Republicans went on endlessly because Obama said, "The private sector is doing fine".

Let's say that again:

THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS DOING FINE.

Now let's compare:

BIG BUSINESS IS DOING FINE.

DOING FINE

DOING FINE

DOING FINE.

Where is the Republican "outrage" for Romney AGREEING with Obama?????????

It was one of those stories from yesterday that was overlooked because of "Akin's Rape Amendment" that is part of the GOP Platform.

As they stated on MSLSD, business is doing fine but it's the uncertainty of Obama's policies that prevent them from expanding and hiring as well as the regulations that constrain them.

Sorry but everything bad about the economy can be traced back to Obama's policieswhich is why it's stagnant. The blame Bush game is over...but Obama still tries to use it. Shows how out of touch he is. If he bothered to really be in touch with mainstream America he would understand that the voting public isn't buying it anymore...only his die-hard base believes it now.

Big business may very well be doing fine in many places. Aren't big businesses the ones who are holding on to their bucks because of uncertainty? They are better able to hunker down and weather the storm.

Private sector (you, me, small business, etc)? Not so much, they don't have the resources to 'hang in there' like big business. Several small places around here have gone belly up over the past couple of years, folks lost their jobs or can't find them in the first place.

"Get through the tax code" -- yeah, that sums it up rather nicely. The tax code is a monstrosity, how anyone navigates it never ceases to amaze me. And why shouldn't S, M, and L businesses try to do whatever they can to hang on to the money that they've earned? It's their money, it belongs to them not to uncle. I know, I know ... that's a concept you leftists just can't wrap your heads around.

Remember one thing. The government has no money. It's the taxpayer's money.

I predict that this one will be used.....................in full context............as the basis for an upcoming Obama campaign ad.

Take it in slow, nutters. We want you to enjoy it to the max.

There are those who apparently feel the opposite is true, and they're just as convinced as you are. Let THAT one soak in.

Businesses are doing fine because they are generating cash flow but they refuse to hire because they are all racists...amiright?

 

[zeke]

So you all are gonna say that if DEMAND for a companies product or service was up, that the business wouldn't expand production to meet the demand. Wouldn't hire people to serve their clients?

It is only IF regulations and "uncertainty" are decreased that will cause business's to hire? Is that your story?

That's a good one. The folks I know are not hiring because they have no demand that isn't being met.
Imagine that? Not hiring because of lack of demand. No problems with regs, paperwork or "uncertainty".
Just a lack of customers.

But you keep telling yourself that if only all the "regs" and "uncertainty" would just go away, everything would be just fine. LMAO.

You didn't built that!

The difference is my is rooted in reality.

What you're not connecting is that that uncertainty isn't just at the business level, it's at all levels. Joe Taxpayer is uncertain if his job will still be around next month so he refrains from making anything more than necessary purchases, which in turn affects demand being down, which in turn creates uncertainty for the business (which is already uncertain from what might be coming down the pike from uncle) so they are just .... waiting, like the rest of us. The common element, though, is uncertainty. Reducing/removing that would help restore confidence, which would get things moving in the right direction.

So by that logic there is no demand because there are no jobs because businesses won't hire, so people don't spend. Businesses have retained capital that they "live off" so to speak during tough times. No one said business is exploding. It was said they are doing fine meaning they are weathering the storm.

How many businesses have you heard going bankrupt lately? The ones Owebama wasted taxpayer money on. Can you say SOLYNDRA, GM on the verge of bankruptcy. Ford is doing fine.

Keep telling yourself that Owebama's policies are working. Keystone pipeline would have created jobs...but noooooooooooooooo, Obama can't be for that. He wastes money on "green energy" which will never "power" the nation.

Well, you are sniffing around the edges. You seem to admit that demand is not where it needs to be for hiring to take place.

Uncertainty. The GOP buzzword machine really hit on a bonanza with that one.

This tedious "demand" vs. "hiring" slap fight is typical of the binary thinking that is paralyzing this country.

One of them doesn't just explode, causing the other to follow. It's a gradual process in which both feed off the other. Holy shit, surely there is someone here who understands this.

While all this simplistic, narcissistic absolutism is weighing us down, we're continuing to sink into the abyss.

This must be vitally important... since this is the third thread about one comment. The OP is an incompetent twit.
