Congressional Economic Oppression

With all due respect to the people, US Business has not grown in areas that are really going to benefit people here in the US. With the States and Federal Government finding new ways to regulate and stiffle growth, US owned Corporations are not growing as they would with a more market oriented approach. Allowing the market to dictate what and how compaies can grow and adapt to the world marketplace. 

What does not work in a global economy is to allow a Liberal US Congress to dictate who and how US business makes money while competing with state owned and funded companies from arount the world. We need to ask how can we help, not how can ban our companies from good business practices and opportunity because it does not make sense to someone in congress who has never owned or operated a US Corporation who's intent and pourpose is to make a profit.

For those who are thinking that Hillary Clinton, Barck Obama or John McCain understand or are looking out for anything other than getting your vote, then you are indeed naive and foolish. None of them has ever headed a profitable business where checks and balances would hake or break the business.

For all of you who keep telling me that we have to do as the world does and emulate what the world does are completely wrong. We are the innovators and marketing kings of the world. We used to be the manufacturers of the world and allowed bad economic policy and taxes erode that to a silm fraction of what we once were. It's time that we allow our people to rebuild a great country back to what it once was and our government to allow it to happen. If we keep allowing our own government to kill US industry with their tax and regulation scemes, we can't expect to ever maintain our high standing in the world economic community.

disgrees with the original post

Can you elaborate on exactly which industries are supposedly being stifled by the government? If anything, I think it's not a "liberal" Congress but conservative interference from government that has stifled innovation in this country. For instance, Bush's religiously-motivated limitations on stem cell research have put our scientific researchers and our biotechnology industry a disadvantage globally.

You are probably confusing globalization of business with government regulation, or perhaps conservative values such as tax breaks for outsourcing jobs is the cog in the U.S. corporate wheel today.

To elaborate on Stephanie's claim, President Bush has also stood vehemently against scientific evidence of global warming making peolple more reluctant to go solar causing a lack of growth that you yourself are complaining about.
