Well, actually, the government 'accomplishments' you're bragging about Mr. President, which is pretty much infrastructure, were paid for by tax payer money, including tax money paid by that businessman or woman, which they have every right to access as much as everyone else. (I.e roads, internet.) Also, the more money that business person makes, the more money in taxes they pay as well.
So therefore, not only did they pay in to help build the infrastructure, but they also created some sort of product or service. They've done much more in a year than you and your friends and Washington do in a career.
You forget that 95% of business is small business, what drives the American economy and just hard working people, trying to live the 'American dream', whatever that means anymore. Instead of basically wanting to destroy capitalism and free enterprise, how bout just clean up corruption instead? And that goes for the economy AND the government.
I just think it's funny that our president is supposed to be doing something to help the economy but is basically on a regular basis hurting and taking shots at what would grow it. -
Basically the real debate over the economy is do we want to have a system where there is freedom to work hard and do better on our own, let competition bring the best possible choices and results to the top, or do we want an economy with extreme government regulation and construction, determining for the American people as a whole what's right, wrong, and equal for us? And can we really trust at the end of the day what these out of touch politicians in Washington have to say about the issues, or do we trust ourselves?

Free enterprise supporter.
Constitution supporter.
Pro Israel and treating our allies right.
Pro-Life
Pro Gay marriage.
I can't think of a party or politician that supports all of there, and they're all pretty important to me. That's what sucks. I always end up having to compromise on something in the political arena.
I suppose Libertarian is the closest term, but even then it's a quite general term with a wide spectrum. -
The American dream is garbage now.
Large buissnesses take advantage of capitalism and force the smaller buisnesses into shambles. Fuk the government and fuk capitalism. We should be allowed to do our own goddamn thing without bringing other people down.
Thats the best I could get out of your posts. xD
Excuse me if its off topic :P -
I pretty much agree with you completely. xD And no problem.

You didn't build that, engineers did...
I am still against huge corporations, but I support small business, and agree with you mostly that the government, as well as large businesses/corporations, are crushing the honest people out of the game. If I read the post correctly. -
Burrying inaccuracy :I

Obama really hasn't done much to help out small business owners or potential small business owners. His words were taken out of context more or less, but it's a mistake to think they were just minced words. The Obama administration in its treatment of the economy has largely ignored small businesses, and therefore individual ingenuity, in favor of giving more tax breaks and more government money to big corporations and by giving free money to Too Big to Fail banks to create a new bubble of investment. Obama was basically saying in his speech that the government can help out business, yet he really hasn't helped out the small business owners that drive the economy and keep the market competitive. It is worth mentioning that Romney basically made the same speech, and that his economic policy would basically be the same. So basically my reading is that this is all the same propping-up-the-one-percent garbage.
