"Obama meets with big business to plot small-business tax hikes"

Quote
Present at this White House conference will be top executives from Aetna, Xerox, American Express, Wal-Mart, Honeywell International, General Electric, Dow Chemical, Procter & Gamble, Ford, PepsiCo, IBM and Chevron. Not included in the invite list: a single representative from one of the country’s 27.5 million small businesses. Not one.

It’s no surprise that Obama’s hand-selected group of executives would agree with his budget plan; their companies benefit from the government’s reckless spending policies and would gladly accept their small-business competition footing the bill in the form of higher income taxes.

How many new jobs have any of these businesses created?  How many have they off-shored over the past two decades?

How many jobs has this group created in America?  How many jobs have unions created in America?

I think the summary is priceless - "But the truth is these are big-business leaders who are already on board with big government. Don’t be surprised when they come out in favor of higher taxes on their small-business competitors."

Who exactly is going to start the next Apple in America?  Hire all of Obama's 'high tech' students?

No jobs, no hire Americans, no prosperity - it seems to be about growing poverty in America...
