Small Business Owner Rebuttal

Presented without additional commentary, because it needs none.

Quote:

As a small business owner all I can say is that I think the current sentiment in the small business community is that we didn't sign up for this ****. Y'all can vote for whatever the hell you want but we are not going to be a part of it.

I have seen more owners get out of the business or retire in the past couple of years than ever before and with the ACA on the horizon the jobs these businesses produced will not be replaced. The economics no longer work. This is why unemployment is always so high in socialist countries. What you have to go through to have employees is just brutal.

But here's the thing about what Obama said --- he has it exactly backwards. The government didn't build any of that **** he is talking about --- we built it. We are the ones who paid for it. Not only did we build our businesses we built the schools and the roads and everything else he thinks was generated out of thin air. If you want to get technical about it the businesses and taxpayers that came along before we did built it all and now we are building what comes next.

And not only that, but we did it with the albatross of a predatory, corrupt and overbearing government hanging around our necks at every juncture.

And now we have had enough.

I haven't made more than $50k from my business but one or two years of the past 15. But now that it is time to cash out after providing literally hundreds of jobs I get the stink eye and get castigated for being a member of the 1%. Even though I can remember sitting on the edge of the bed and holding my head in my hands wondering what I had done risking everything I had to create a business and wondering how it would all work out when I had just finished working several days in a row with no sleep... I am the enemy. Even though I didn't take a paycheck for the first year of the business and later skipped other paychecks to meet payroll or to pay taxes I am somehow at fault for the fact that all of these people sitting on their asses or working their cushy government jobs with the large pensions funded by armies of tax collectors and regulators may have to go without.

Well, I already went without so they can bloody well shut the **** up and take their turn in the barrel! If they want to risk everything they have or work their asses off with no guarantee of success only to be told at the end that they were not responsible for their own success and don't deserve their rewards then they are welcome to go down that path and see what it is like. But the number of people who will pursue the American dream and build the economy from the roots up will be greatly decreased in the current atmosphere and all of these self-entitled idiots will sit around wondering why the government is still going broke and why no one is hiring.

No country can survive socialism. It just doesn't happen. Sooner or later the bill comes due. But before it does you always get demagogic idiots like Obama, or Chavez who try to blame their failures on the only people who are keeping everything afloat. It is not enough they sank the damn ship... they have to come after the people in the life boats too.

That is the sort of mentality we are dealing with.

He's a small business owner...Which makes him Enemy Number One in the eyes of Obama and his supporters...

bs I'm tired of these crack pots who don't understand a sentence responding to something that was never said. Their outrage is silly.

One Okie truck owner claimed he had no help with his business. I asked him if he takes his fuel surcharge. A government program to help owner operators. These people can make a little dough, fine, but they should be proud that others may benefit from watching them learning because lordy knows they didn't get there by themselves.
Your rebuttal drop-kicked.

Liberals won't be able to understand this sentiment. Everything should be for the common good and individual initiative is rewarded by getting to share with everyone else. Couple that with envy and class warfare and you have the platform of the Obama Administration.

You miss the point as usual. You are trying to tell democrats what they think or believe. I am a business owner and always have been. The class warfare has been going on and the well off have been winning. You have heard of the golden rule? Those with the gold make the rules. I envy those who have built a successful business. Doesn't mean I am mad at them or want what they have made. But I also don't beleive in trickle down or supply side economics. I don't want to cut rich peoples rates anymore. Instead of telling me what I think you should maybe try asking me.

Typical Leftist retort we ought to be grateful for whatever crumbs the benevolent Federal government sweeps off the table. The crumbs from Obama's Federal redistribution are the real trickle down economics where pleasing the centralized Federal government is the sole determinant of success. If the truck driver and the small business owner had been better connected to the Obama corruptocracy they could have benefited on a scale comparable to that given to the UAW and Soilyndra. Providing better services and products to the customer is discarded in favor of government rule making and political loyalty.
