Just another example of not leveling the playing field for business and letting business go over seas ie. Nafta. $7.00 an hour jobs do not pay off the naational debt so third world here we come. So much for USA. We need to change the name to United States Downtroden. It is what it is. So much for the American dream. Oh well it
was just a dream anyway. Or was it all lies? Posted by: John Lamont (OHIO) on November 13, 2008 10:55AM
by: Pal (Orlando FL)It will have nothing to do with the state or people of Ohio, nope it could not ever be their fault that businesses don't want to have operations there or feel there are many other places they would rather be.
Of course Pal,it couldn't be the fault of any of the policies of your hero G.W.Bush.He has done everything he knows to promote business across this fair nation.Only one problem here,and that is Bush has failed at every business he ever started so,how can he be expected to know what it takes to run a SUCCESSFUL business,or a country for that matter.
Did he give tax breaks to businesses that created jobs? No he didn't.He gave them to those who are already wealthy,and made them more wealthy,most likely like yourself.Buy a Hummer and take a $50000 tax deduction.That worked out well,didn't it?
The midwestern states have lost millions of jobs under the tutelage of Bush The Destroyer.
This country has spent more of the past eight years in recession or outright depression than it has in recovery.Have you heard of the recovery that wasn't?We have been living it for far too long.
We have seen jobs going to China and Mexico,India and Vietnam,or another of your heroes mecca of employment,Tom Delay,The Marianas Islands, and anywhere people have to work for a bowl of rice and a cup of water a day.Forced labor anyone?
It must be my fault it takes more than $300 a week to support a family,what the business owners think Americans should live on,except themselves of course.
So right-wingers like yourself can blame this recession on the people of Ohio or Pennsylvania or Indiana or Michigan or Illinois or Wisconsin or West Virginia or Kentucky or Iowa or any other state in this depressed region.Your hero is blameless.We're a nation of whiners,right?
As Bush has done all his life, he takes responsibility for nothing.It's always somebody elses fault. Posted by: Mr.D (red state blues) on September 14, 2008 4:13PM
Well I am sure the race baiting, socialist in the national media will get their talking points from the DNC and will make sure this is blamed on ole Georgie Boy and of course his twin bro Johnny Boy McCain.
