Yes.
All those tax cuts, subsidies, grants and loans made life extremely rough for them.
Tell me Mac, have we lost or gained many Billionaires in recent years?
Oh, we've gained.
Not sure what the point is.
And anyone who has any understanding of business and business psychology knows that the current environment is hostile. Unless they're being intellectually dishonest.
.
Well Mac ol' Boy..
As I've owned a business and worked in the financial industry for nearly 2 decades..
Perhaps you can teach this old dog some new tricks.
How exactly has the present environment been hostile?
Loans are cheap.
Liquidity has been added to the market.
There were plenty of incentives prior to 2010 to start new business.
Plenty of people looking for work, so labor isn't expensive.
Taxes are pretty low.
Enlighten me man.
All this hostility doesn't look that hostile.
And given that a good deal of the new hires were by small business? And that close to 60% of them are making the national average? ($24 an hour).
Doesn't seem hostile.
So go.
