We've heard about the "war on women"..BUT IS there a "war on business,capitalism"?

[healthmyths]

benefit?? Govt regulation of banking just caused worst crash since they caused Great Depression. Govt regulation of health care drives prices up by 5 times free market levels. The more libsoviet the regulation the more soviet the result! Do you understand??

We understand that if America followed your economic theories that world poverty would climb by 10% in six months.

FACTS...

YOU idiots that hate businesses/capitalism... YOU are conversing right now via the Internet THAT depends on capitalism not the federal government.
You idiots use cell phones that never existed until capitalism provided them.
Tell you what you idiots... YOU come up with a better way that can raise the standard of living of people that can get:
Then these are the following services for the "unemployed, poor people":

a) Free Cell phone (my cell phone I PAY about $100/month including a tax that pays for this free phone...)
if the poor person receives just one of the below FREE entitlements:
* Food stamps * Medicaid * Section 8 * Supplemental Security Income * National School Lunch Program

b) 46 million Americans on food stamps get $200/month in free food.

it cost $75.7 billion in 2011 compared to $35 billion in 2008; and enrollment has hit an all-time high of 46.7 million recipients.
Meanwhile, the number of children receiving free school lunches has inflated from 18 to 21 million — an unprecedented jump —
about 2.1 million households (6 million) use Section 8 the Housing Choice Voucher program, pays a large
c) portion of the rents and utilities of or the Housing Choice Voucher Program up to $1,000 /month in FREE housing...
So these people get:
=== $ 5,666 in Earned Income Credit i.e. a check from Uncle Sam instead of paying they get a check!!!
=== $12,000 free housing , Section 8 will pay up to $1,000/month
=== $ 2,400 free food,
=== $ 1,200 in free cell phone plus
=== $ 5,000 a year in free health care from Medicaid.
So this is about $26,000 a year in FREE MONEY, free goods and free services...

NO other country in the world matches the above freebies to the "poor"!

true enough, and even worse, all the freebies go on for generation after generation creating an ever growing crippled and dependent class that votes for more and more freebies. The more welfare you give the more is required. The safety net was turned into a comfortable house from which liberals buy votes!! Its all but treasonous!

I have read your stuff, Edward, and you are simply silly.

IS THAT YOUR BEST??? Jake quit embarrassing yourself with such stupid inane comments!!! YOU have NEVER NEVER posted any FACTS with the LINKS to back them up because basically you are a lazy idiot, dumb ass FFO/LIP!

Of course there's a war against capitalism and business. Hellfire, there's a war against everything these days. There was a time when labor unions were necessary, but that necessity has long ago expired. The workplace was not safe, healthy, employee friendly or anything else - essentially sweatshops. It's not exactly like that in America now. I went to work a week after high school graduation (Class of '62) - good job, too. Workplace was clean, safe, salary then was great for a kid like me - $52/week plus overtime. Yikes! What were the kids who worked in retail or waitressing making??!! I came home from work one evening to find reps from the CWA (Communications Workers of America union) in my house demanding that I join the union and as an "incentive" grabbed my mother and started twisting her arm. My mother and I didn't get along, but she was my mother. She was yelping and I turned on the union reps, vowed I would never join a union and to get out of my house. I was 18 then...and I was true to my word...I never joined a union.

I remember the old truckers union strikes - especially the occurrences in PA because it was big news back then. Union members firing guns off road over passes at the independent truckers or scabs still rolling on the highways. No concern whatsoever for the safety or lives of anybody else on the highways along with those truckers.

Decades later when I was working with the labor lawyers in my firm I got a glimpse into the "inside" of unions and it definitely cemented my dislike for tactics, lies, and everything else unions do to boost membership. They end up causing business to spend so much money meeting their demands that money that might otherwise be spent directly on employees is depleted. The NLRB is nothing more than the legal team for unions - for which taxpayers ultimately foot the bill while businesses have to employ their own counsel to fight the unions - and these attorneys don't come cheap. I know unions are big up north, but I've always worked in right-to-work states. I DO, however, think right-to-work laws should be changed to say that employees should only be fired with cause rather than "with or without cause." We have all kinds of federal and state employee protection laws available to us now that were not available back in the 1800s and early 1900s. Administered correctly, they should work well without union involvement.

Holy Crap! what an asinine thread.

Democrats especially claim GOP have waged war on women.
Well what about the war Democrats have waged against business, capitalism?

Why would any President want 1,400 companies to go out of business laying off 400,000 people and reducing by $100 billion a year in tax revenue...but Obama has said that!

Why would any party or President want to bankrupt businesses?
"So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.” Obama -2008
Obama: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (January 2008) http://www.BattleBornPAC.com

Why would any president want to reduce oil production in the USA and in doing so make the USA more dependent on foreign oil by LENDING MONEY for oil exploration? Obama and Democrats did!

The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan.
The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us it has issued a “preliminary commitment” letter to Petrobras in the amount of $2 billion and has discussed with Brazil the possibility of increasing that amount.
Petrobras (Brazil's state-run, Soros invested oil company).... $64.5 Billion stock sale 'to fund exploration'. | RedState

Finally Obama and the democrats haven't seen a rule or regulation they didn't like!
1. Obamacare costs
Obamacare will impose a new cost on many small businesses that currently do not provide health insurance for their employees and will pressure many to shift workers to part-time status to get below the measure’s “50-worker” loophole. It also means all companies will have to re-evaluate their health care coverage and make changes to come into compliance with federal guidelines or pay fines of up to $3,000 per worker. The Congressional Budget Office says the bill will lead to 800,000 fewer jobs by 2020.
2. Small business tax hikes
The expiration of the Bush tax cuts for individuals making over $200,000, or families making $250,000, will hit many small business owners, an increase that will hit as those same owners are still trying to dig out of the recession. Considering that small businesses are the main creator of jobs in the nation, every dollar taken from them in tax hikes is that many fewer dollars available for expanding employment.
3. EPA’s burdensome regulations
Regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency put a tremendous burden on businesses, making job creation more difficult. The agency’s rules on air quality standards are curtailing energy produced from coal-fired electrical plants, causing a rise in electricity prices and making scarce a major resource that is abundant in America.
4. Keystone XL Pipeline postponed
Even Obama’s union supporters expressed outrage over his decision to indefinitely postpone construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would transport oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico. The president’s decision cost thousands of jobs and lost a possible source of energy from North America, as China was soon knocking on Canada’s door. But at least Obama’s Hollywood environmental backers were placated.
5. Boeing battle
When Boeing wanted to build a new $750 million assembly plant in South Carolina, creating thousand of jobs in the process, the National Labor Relations board stepped in, saying the move violated federal law because S.C. is a right-to-work state. The board, whose balance tipped toward labor with Obama appointees, finally dropped the case after the union representing Boeing workers withdrew its objections.
6. Capital-gains ‘fairness’
When he was running for president in 2008, Obama said he would increase the capital gains rate, even if it meant bringing in less tax revenue for the government, out of the notion of “fairness.” He is still on the same quest as the expiration of the Bush tax cuts would increase the capital gains tax rate by 33 percent. This time “fairness” will likely mean hurting the middle class, as the hike looms in January as part of the so-called taxmaggedon that could tip the economy back into a recession.
7. Off-shore drilling moratorium
After the BP oil spill in 2010, Obama placed a moratorium on deep-water drilling, devastating the off-shore oil and gas industry in the gulf coast states. While Obama seems to constantly throw up road blocks that inhibit development of U.S. energy resources—including slowing the permit process for new oil drilling sites—after his moratorium, he gave assistance to off-shore drilling efforts in Brazil, creating jobs there, not here
8. Dodd-Frank ‘financial reform’
By signing the Dodd-Frank financial “reform” measure into law, Obama placed yet another heavy cost on the business community. Passed in 2010 without a single Republican vote in the House, the measure mandates, among many requirements, an enormous paperwork burden that will mainly help employ accountants and lawyers. Interesting that the politicians with their names attached to this bill did as much as any to protect and encourage Fannie Mae’s contribution to the 2008 financial meltdown.
9. Anti-business rhetoric
Obama’s “You-didn’t-build-that” mentality diminishes the accomplishments of business entrepreneurs while exalting the role of government. His class-warfare political strategy includes demonizing Wall Street, insurance companies, bankers, pharmaceuticals, Big Oil, and “millionaires and billionaires.” The presidency is a “Bully Pulpit” and Obama’s misuse of it only gives ammunition to the anti-capitalist Occupy crowd.
10. Business climate uncertainty
U.S. companies are sitting on trillions of dollars of cash but are not spending it to expand business or hire new workers because of the uncertainty about what government is going to do next. With tax hikes looming, along with rising health care costs associated with Obamacare, and the constant strangulation by bureaucratic red tape, corporations are in a waiting mode before opening their spigot of cash—waiting until we get a new president.
