And it's interesting to me that I continue to read about all the cash on which businesses are sitting; they are "afraid" to spend on new job positions or reinvestment because of the economy. I call bullsh**! They're not "afraid" to spend. They're sitting on their cash waiting to buy their congressional whores in the elections next year!
If you had a business right now, would you have any idea how much extra each employee was going to cost in a few years with an uncertain tax policy and health care bill looming in the distance? Each employee they currently have will cost more...how do you expect businesses to keep adding when the future is so uncertain?
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
The health care is indeed a worry, particularly for small businesses. But I stand by my call. Many medium to large businesses, IMHO, are simply waiting to throw money at campaigns to buy influence.

I don't buy that either....I'd like to see stats on what the medium to large businesses typically spend on political contributions. I doubt it's a major part of their spending.

Actually many of those large corporations support both parties equally so that no matter who wins, they have influence.
But still I don't think they want to spend all that cash on politicians. Maybe they think times are going to get bad and like the idea of a rainy day fund which goverment never considers. Any Politician: Spend it faster than it comes in!
