Obama built your business, not you

This popped up on my FB page today........

Needless to say.....the guy is a complete moron. Every business I have opened on my own I have done it myself....PERIOD. I have never taken a Loan out or anything....all of it has been out of my own pocket.....and my own time. (60-80 hour a week reference in the article)

Currently with these Banking Regulations in place with the Dodd/Frank Reform.....Yes, the Government will have a deep hand in your business if you are approved for an SBA Loan. I just spoke with my Bank, and another Bank, last week applying for a Low Doc SBA Loan to purchase more inventory for my store to fill my new place I'm moving into this week. (going from 2200 sq ft to almost 6000 sq ft) Was only applying for a simple $35K loan over a 7 year time period. (about the same as a truck payment) After reading all the regulations that were going to be forced upon me by accepting this simple loan, my brother and I both told the Banks to basically stick it up their dotdotdots......

As with all the businesses I started on my own......I am self funding this expansion also.

Obawa can shove his opinion straight up his dotdotdot too..........................

Like it or not, our private sector has always operated with at least some indirect government help. And it’s perfectly legitimate for the president to point that out. ..:)

Really always, you sticking to that one?

He wasn't merely pointing it out he was condescending and demeaning. In his mind the private sector is here to create wealth the government can take and redistribute. He does not believe in the individual to him it is about the collective.

Like what? Government controls commerce? You have to have infrastructure ...business has to have a way to move their goods... You can't just start a business without some sort of county, city, or state connection

Now think about it you really think government came before commerce. Even though your wrong on that point lets pretend your right. Government cannot exist without commerce. Everything they do is done with money created by commerce. Government has no money of their own.

Exactly... What Obama said... At some point business needs government

Nope, you got this wrong. What business needs is government OUT of the way. Government depends on business for funds. They need the wealth they create to be able to take it from them and redistribute it. When government becomes the 'final solution', well, we all know where that leads.

Look at Pics below........

Friday Night 002.jpgNew Store - 1st Pics 003.jpg

First Pic shows my small Showroom in my 2200 sq ft Space (1/2 Showroom - 1/2 Warehouse)

Second Pic shows my 3000 Sq Ft Showroom in my 6000 sq ft space. (again - 1/2 & 1/2)

The "Government" had nothing to do with the Growth my business has had within 1 year. As a matter of fact.......Government, local that is, has been a hindrance to just about everything they're involved with. IE - Zoning, CO's, Permits, etc. Big Brother Government is also a Pain in the dotdotdot over this too....... Like I said a page back, tried to get funding for this expansion. Todays regulations set forth by THIS administration just aint worth messing with. Yes, Self Employment taxes ARE going to go up next year......etc.

I have SELF FUNDED this whole venture.....from start up to the expansion....as well as putting in 60-70-80 hours a week at time working "Alone".....and that JackWeed up there in Washington....nor any other Government Entity.....has helped a D**N bit.......

So is Brisco complaining or baggin' ?
I've worked 60-80 hours per week up until I became an expeditor.
Really never thought it was worthy of mention.

With this Administration we have in place now......America would be MUCH MUCH better off Governing ourselves......Plain and Simple.

Let's see, the Federal government ENCOURAGES people to build in the flood plains and barrier islands. Private industry TRYING to stop it.

The Federal government ENCOURAGES illegal immigration by NOT policing the borders, NOT providing a usable immigration cod and PROMISING amnesty. SO they keep POURING in.

Federal roads are in GREAT shape as well! :rolleyes: And EVERY driver knows that ALL DOT/FMSCA regs are based on sound science and are ONLY there to make us safe.

YEAH, I got it! :mad:
