There will be far fewer middle class and small businessmen hiring in the wake of the idiotic economic measure Obama proposed and nynco supported. I'm worried for my friends who will find their hours reduced (or eliminated) so the middle class and small businessmen that still exist take the measures they need to in order to stay in business. No one will hire anyone if their costs to do so exceed what they will get from that labor -- having buyers for a $5 item doesn't help if that item costs $6 to produce.

The issue isn't people working for a living. The issue is people who AREN'T working and don't want to work. The issue is people demanding pay and benefits for their work that exceeds the economic value of that work. The issue is government spending more than it takes in. Reaganomics increased the flow of capital through the private sector AND increased tax revenues collected by the federal government but was unacceptable to those Marxists who think all money belongs to the government and people should only be allowed to keep what's "fair" (you can see this atttitude in one of Obama's speeches in his first year in office BTW). The problem was that Tip O'Neill increased spending by nearly twice as much as Reagan took in. Bush the Younger spent far more than he should have but his restoration of Reagan-level tax rates increased tax revenues collected and stabilized a national economy rocked by indecision after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The problem was it didn't hold a candle to what Pelosi and Reid conspired to spend after winning control in 2006.

Glad I'm not on whatever it is nynco is ingesting ... I probably wouldn't be allowed to drive my car to work if I was.
