If anyone doubted that this administration was leaning toward socialism, all one has to do is look at what he said today in a speech to the Chamber of Commerce.
He said, "If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line,"
First of all, I am a working man. I want to do well. But, a poor man never gave me a job.
During speeches like this, one main point is always left out. The fact that those who are hiring are taking risks. And no one from the government should be in the business of telling anyone how to run their company unless they are getting federal help.
It makes many happy to find a boogie-man and want to see those who are better off take it on the chin.
But, if you want to get rich, make sure you make out like a bandit when business is good- own your own business.
But, you also have to know that when the economy tanks, it's the so-called rich person or business owner who takes the brunt of the storm.
That realistic point is always left out when those jealous of others who have achieved are trying to justify where they are in life.
For those who want to share the profits when things are good, be willing to take a cut when things are bad.
It got real quiet in here.

You can not balance the Federal budget or states budgets on the backe of the working men and women alone, the CEOs, owners, share holders, stock holders and the upper 2% have to help balance these budgets by receiving less too.
Just how are we balancing budgets on the backs of so-called lower income Americans when 43% pay no Federal Income tax. We borrow 43% of every tax dollar spent because the 43% of non-paying Americans who believe they are created more equal than others get their Progressive Democrat leaders to give them a pass while the REAL working people, which includes the upper income small businessman gets the shaft. It's time to honor the Belief of Eqauality and Equal protection under the law,not the Lawless
When Obama screwed the old G.M. taxpayers in bankruptcy by giving the New G.M. Union workers retirement fund New G.M. stock paid for by the American taxpayer while the Old G.M. stockholders got nothing,,,didn't these Democrat donating Union thugs get the real bonus them,,,,Now G.M. just gave them a $4000 bonus to each employee. Just how many times do the taxpayers have to bend over and feel the pain of these clusters of Democrat financial hemhoroids.
Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for a private profit; decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are made by private actors in the free market; profit is sent to owners who invest in businesses, and wages are paid to workers employed by businesses and companies.
WHERE IS THERE MENTION OF TAX DOLLARS GOING TO BUSINESS?
Just name one tax BREAK dollar earned by a business that was not first appropriated by your selfGod Government wealth redistributing crooks and then returned to the business after skimming the cream of it off the top to support a socialist (Like Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republic)style power grabbers. WHERE IS IT MENTIONED THAT THE WEALTH OF THOSE CONTRIVING TO LIVE HONESTLY OFF THEIR OWN MEANS, HAVE THEIR HONEST WEALTH RESIDTRIBUTED TO THE DISHONEST THAT CAN'T/TOO STUPID CREATE THEIR OWN WEALTH
Unions fight for the rights of the workers to receive part of the profits that their labor produces. One person has no voice in corporations or in government. That is why in order to form a more perfect union we gather together as workers and force the fair compensation for our labor. The boss still gets his bonus but it may be a little smaller and the workers get to put better food on their tables.
What are you boys nattering on about, entrepreneurship v. capitalism? Well, everyone knows, or should know, modern-day capitalists DESTROYED it for entrepreneurs. Except for a few Internet geeks in WWW-land, there are no Ben Franklin-style entrepreneurs left in the USA. Just a bunch of fat-gassed CEOs who seek only to increase their take, everyone else be &%$#ed:

Charles what you understand about business and capitalism goes as far as your ability to repeat the communist republican propaghanda and rhetoric. Trickle down economics does not work, never has and never will because of greed. In FACT the Holy Bible speaks about the Republicans but they were called Publicans in that era.
And Here's what Jesus said about Liberals;
John 8:43-47
43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you're unable to hear what I say.You belong to your father, the devil,and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies,,He who belongs to God hears what God says. The Reason you don't hear is that you don't belong to GOD.
Don, what you understand about business and capitalism goes as far as your ability to repeat the socialist democrat class warfare rhetoric. A day without your mindless comments is like a day without diarrhea.
Charles, in a capitalist society, businesses do not receive tax dollars at any poit but in todays society (last 50 years or so), businesses have received trillions in tax dollars. We also had tarriffs on imports which we no longer have but they are assessed on products made in America when they are sent to other nations. Un-level or unfair playing field for American businesses and workers.
Don, you are correct about the need to level the playing field with import taxes. The problem is the Chinese began buying politicans starting with Bill Clinton who gave them a navel base in California to run their Cabal and steal our manfufacturing secrets. Hence no import taxes passed
You still don't get it,,Businesses NEVER receive tax dollars,,they only get to pay more or less Taxes OF THEIR OWN HARD EARNED Cash depending on whether your Democrat wealth redistributors are in power or not.
Earmarks are tax dollars going to private corporations. For example, in Texas The prison system produced all of the food that the prisoners ate costing the tax payers nothing. Under Bush the Governor he mandated that the prison system stop producing and contract to private companies. The TDCJ was producing enough food to take care of itself and the childrens' homes and state schools.Cost to tax payers then was $7.25 per day now $42.00 per day. Thanks to George and the Republicans.
Neil, your point is falling on deaf ears when you try to explain to work-a-day Joe's that not everyone lives paycheck to paycheck. They've never been taught the value of an idea and what it takes to turn ideas into reality. They have no clue what an entrepneneur is or how capitalism built the US into the once great power she was. These are envious, shallow minded people, poorly educated, and easily manipulated by our liberal-socialist media. They are the victims of class warfare and socialism.
I can not remember any news story about any CEO takintg any cuts when things are/were bad but there were millions of workers that took many cuts when profits were high and then laid off when things got bad.
