And you are tools of Obama who PROVED he can't create jobs even when handed trillions. Yet you believe everything he says even though it has been ALL bad for Americans. Proven track record of HURTING Americans and you want him to do more. Saye a lot about what you want for this country!

Let's see, this man started a company that employs over 320,000 people right now. How many do you employ? Sooooo, who has a better understanding of how Obama's policies hurt employment? Sorry, but I would trust someone who employs hundreds of thousands over someone who is sitting at home posting on a website. That includes myself. I would trust his opinion over mine and ANYONE'S on here enyday. But self righteous people like to act like they know better than one of the largest job creators in our country!

Why would you trust his opinion when it is clear that it is grounded in self-interest? Ask yourself, what does his personal income tax rate have to do with how many people are employed by Home Depot? NOTHING, NADA. Yet he's ranting about personal income taxes as though raising them on him would cause him to lay off half the workers at Home Depot. Sure. He's worried about personal income taxes going up because HE would have to pay more. Not because he's losing sleep at the thought of some $12 an hour employee losing his or her job because of it, because they wouldn't.

It's really, really amazing to me how you guys worship the "opinions" of people that are 1000 times richer than you are, when their interests are simply not your interests. Where do you get this utterly illogical belief that he's somehow looking out for the average guy with this kind of mouthing off? He's looking out for HIMSELF. And it's working! You will dutifully do what he says and not even bother to question whether what he's suggesting will help or hurt people like you and I.

So who do you trust? Obama and congress? Really? SO what have they done to earn your trust and make you believe that they know how to create jobs?

I don't trust any of them.

Whenever any of them say anything, I ask myself first what is in it for them.

The regressives here, and elsewhere, are useful tools for their masters as well. And I gotta hand it to them, they put the individual welfare of each and every citizen in each and every state, unless they happen to own a private jet, over and above the security and general welfare of all of the states that belong to the union.

I trust America...and its resilience. I would never trust a CEO or bilionaire to have the best interest of the American people at heart. And I never thought that you and the other conservatives would be so naive as to think this dude wants what's best for the American people. He couldn't care less about this country beyond what will make him the most money.

You think $14 Trillion in public debt, with future prospects for another $14 Trillion in the next 12 years (we have to use 12 now because the president started using 12 recently) is in the best interests of the American people? Really? Come now archer. Obama is the CEO of the DC government currently. Clearly his intent is to serve the best interests of his party above that of the American people. Anyone who was more interested in the welfare of the American people would be seeking an end to the perpetual need to burden them with additional public debt instead of seeking to dig them deeper into debt, don't you think? Someone who was more interested in the American people would be looking to permanently limit the amount of the fruits of the labor of the American people that was taken from them by their government instead of perpetually increasing that amount, both in actual dollars as well as the overall percentage of the national production.

All Obama is interested in doing is turning as many Americans as he can into share croppers for the wannabe national government. He is looking to create a group of citizens to form a majority large enough to take from others using the pure democracy principle of tyranny of the majority. The more people he can get onto the roles that pay limited or not taxes, the more likely he is to assemble a big enough majority to use the government to force the rest of the American people to pay for the ones that pay no taxes at all. The purpose of government, at least in this nation, has historically been to protect the American people from the use of force and fraud. What Obama and the regressives hope to do is change that from protect from force to subject them to force. That's how all socialists seek to change things, while ignoring the reality that even under such circumstances some animals are more equal than others.

Tell me archer, what is the "fair share" owed to the rest of the American people by those who own their own jet? 50%? 70%? More? How much of the fruits of the labor of someone else are you and the rest of the American people entitled to?

You miss the whole point PS.

And God I wish you would learn to summarize. Obviously you really want to write the Great American Novel.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, for all of us, life is not able to be summarized into "Rich Bad, Poor Good" despite the continued class warfare the regressives seek to embroil us in.

Corporations are making record profits...but they want us to believe that Obama is anti business and will ruin them. Yeah right. Republicans are so gullible._

"Lack of clarity on a U.S. deficit-reduction plan, trade policy, regulation, much needed tax reform and the absence of a long-term plan to improve the country's deteriorating infrastructure do not create an environment that provides our customers with the confidence to invest," Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman said.
