ATLANTA, Sept. 26, 2010, 10:30 a.m. - As unemployment continues to remain near 10 percent, key Republicans are now saying that they are not hiring as long as President Obama's economic and health care policies continue. With an unemployment rate at 9.6 percent, Republicans say that business owners are not hiring because they believe the Obama's policies are "socialist" or even stupid. Billionaire Donald Trump called Obama's policies "stupidity" last week on a segment of "The Situation Room" when he was asked why business owners are not hiring. Trump endorsed Obama's rival Republican Sen. John McCain for president. "Because they're afraid of stupidity," Trump told Blitzer. "Because they're afraid of uncertainty, they're afraid that people are giving away our country, they are very very concerned." Trump's comments come as Newt Gingrich, who is thought to be running for the GOP's president nomination, says that people are not hiring because they believe that Obama is a "socialist." "As I crisscross the country, the number of people who tell me that they are not going to hire anybody as long as Obama is president, because they distrust the administration and think it's socialist," Gingrich said told Fox News last month. Gingrich's comments came just months after conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said that he wants Obama to "fail." Limbaugh said: "So I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail, if his agenda is a far- left collectivism, some people say socialism, as a conservative heartfelt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed?" President Obama came into office pledging not to let unemployment pass 10 percent in the summer of 2009, a pledge he was unable to keep. This past summer was to be his summer of recovery, but the unemployment rate rose from 9.5 percent to 9.6 percent between July and August. What's more many Republicans and some Democrats have assailed the president's new health care plan, which they say will cost businesses more or does not go far enough respectively. The criticism also comes as Obama's economic advisor, who has touted the need to incease taxes on the wealthy, is resigning amid other key departures. |

It's one thing to say that you're reluctant to hire as a business owner because you don't have full faith and confidence in Obama's economic policies, but it's another thing altogether to simply say you're not going to hire just because Obama is president. There's a distinct difference. It's crazy that people would rather see this country fail and fellow Americans suffer just to spite Obama.

President should double tax those who refuse to hire American... especially those who shipped jobs oversea. We should also refuse to import their goods that are made oversea. |

President should double tax those who refuse to hire American... especially those who shipped jobs oversea. We should also refuse to import their goods that are made oversea. You double the taxes and those companies will probably leave.... I look at this issue from a smaller scale and can see how the effects would be even greater from a "larger scale"....... I live in Philly and there use to be a LOT of businesses in Philly which definitely helped to keep our taxes "more reasonable". However, with them raising taxes, a lot of the bigger businesses left Philly and it's become harder to get them back in. So, now the bigger businesses have left which leaves you with more empty real estate. Businesses consider coming back but the taxes are still too high. Many ppl who worked for these companies also leave Philly which means that the ppl that were paying the most in taxes are no longer giving their money in Philly which means the pool of money that Philly has goes down. With those with the greater income leaving, the houses are given to others who can't afford to keep them up like the other ppl and home values start going down. This means that property taxes are also pretty low. So they raise the tax in Philly now to 8% and are giving ppl 10 year tax abatements to try to help to get the city out of the slumps....but to me, it's too little too late.....they even talked about making us pay a trash tax and a soda tax.....they went "tax happy"... And so here I am, living in Philly, looking at my paycheck to where my city wage tax being taken out is HIGHER than my state taxes and yet the goods/services received in Philly aren't as good as you'd expect based on the amount of money I'm forced to pay. I say that to say this.....although I can understand wanting to punish those who may do business overseas, etc. That alone could punish Americans even more than they're "punished" now. |

If this already happen... it isn't because of Federal tax, because federal tax for the wealth was cut during Bush's year and have not increased. The wealth tax will not incease, but set back to what it was during Clinton's years, less tax cut on the 1st $250,000 income. They still get a cut. There more ppl working and hiring during Clinton, without the cut, than Bush with the cut. If they refuse to hire and try to hurt the American ppl... they should pay double tax and the money should be use for business opportunities to open more privite businesses and manufacturies companies that would put poeple back to work. |

Your first sentence confused me...I'm not sure what you mean. But, i will say if those that have money leave or move ALL their business to overseas, you won't really have money to open up small businesses and/or manufacturing companies.... |

They won't move businesses oversea, only manufactures and other works, but not move their companies to India, China or any other part of Asia... They know they can not operate a business in those countries

They know they can not operate a business in those countries Why can't they? A lot of your big companies now have offices overseas....will it take that much to just close the "American" offices??? |

Most of those jobs are in Communist countries... They don't to move there... Europe won't put up with their mess.... Why are you defending the wealth, who are stepping on the poor, isn't it against the Word of God?

Why are you defending the wealth, who are stepping on the poor, isn't it against the Word of God? When you say "most" where are you getting your statistics from? Not sure how saying that making taxes too high will cause businesses to leave means that my intentions are helping those with wealth step on the poor. You need a balance. The poor will be with us always and we should help those in need. But saying that I'm going to astronomically tax the rich isn't the way to do it. I don't think that that is what scripture teaches either. Additionally, we don't want to mimic the "robin Hood" technique of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Although when I was watching it, I thought it was GREAT that someone cared for the poor enough to give them money, stealing it is just as bad if not worse..... And a lot of times, when I hear ppl give suggestions on what to do, it does mimic this approach. |
