The bad economy is a neocon conspiracy

One Reason Why Some Business Owners Won't Hire More Workers.   
   
Some business owners seem to be unwilling to employ more people, even when
they are rolling in cash. Why would they do this? Aren't they slitting their
own throats? Not only would they be helping to rebuild our national economy,
but their profits would be even higher!

This does seem to be self-defeating, but I wonder if there is a method to the
madness of the Neocon leadership. Is it possible that they are deliberately
taking part in bringing the economy down (not for themselves - they are making
profits hand over fist, aren't they?), but for the rest of the country?

Why would they do that? If they are successful, if the national economy has
come down to such an abysmal level that the people are willing to do anything
just to have enough to eat and a roof over their heads, then it's the right time for
the super-rich right-wingers to step in and "help" the people - but on their own
terms and conditions.

This could be the beginning of the "take over" by the Neocons, the beginning of
seizing total power and control over our nation -- a very good reason for those
who are power-mad enough to want our nation's economy to fail completely
for their political gain.

blah, blah, blah......

Can anyone think of other reasons for the Neocons doing their best to worsen
the lot of working Americans, and to make sure that the economy of our nation
goes down still further?

I think it is more of a socialist plan of those currently in charge that is driving the economy down.  Collapse the free market system and that leaves the door open for Soros to take over.

It's a fair sized bonfire with many of the DUmmies to blind to see that it is Dear Leader's policies that are making businesses afraid to take chances.

The DUmors might not see that the Obamessiah's policies are making things worse . . .

. . . but a lot of hardworking Americans do.

We'll see just how many on November 2nd.

Sadly this is just one of the many wrong headed articles on this subject over at the dump.  While they complain about what they hear in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy of Media (comprised solely of Fox News ) they only listen to the Main Stream Media and PBS for their truths, becoming less and less informed and more and more politicized daily.  

I have come to think of MSM and PBS as purveyors of the daily "Two Minute Hate", preaching to the truly Useful Idiots Lenin so loved.  Once their usefulness is over the Soros and Obamas of the world see to it they receive their final reward.  (Think Cambodian Killing fields. -- It will be easy to round them up, just offer a free EBT card or check Skinner's donor list).

Dummies have no idea of havoc created by their heroes such as UpChuckie Schumer to name just one:

{excerpted link}
Schumer contributed to an already distressed situation. Reich said he was “troubled by any interference in the regulatory process." This is not the first time Schumer shouted 'fire' in a crowded theater. Schumer tried unsuccessfully to break up the Countrywide (CFC) – Bank of America (BAC) merger. I cannot know whether IMB would have held on without Schumer’s incitement, but it sure did not help.

Friday Schumer took the opposite stance, trying to promote confidence in Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE). But it was not confidence in the companies themselves, it was confidence that the government would step in as savior (if necessary). Unfortunately, nothing Schumer is doing adds confidence in the US financial system. Perhaps he should stop trying to promote his “brand” and just keep quiet.

Who's going to tell them?  PBS and the MSM?  Hardly.  Thus they will remain stuck on stupid voting for the folk who are building the gallows upon which they will hang.  Not to worry, they will bring their own rope.

How many business owners do you know, moron?  They ain't rolling in cash.

Much of the bad economic news coming out of Venezuela is being blamed on a "capital strike", a form of economic sabotage where business owners refuse to produce and consume to damage the government and workers. It's used an an excuse to cover Hugo's failures and as an excuse for Hugo to seize anything he wants.

When you drill down into what they mean by 'Neocon,' the OP is actually blaming Teh Joooooooooz.

I think "dig whistle" is the term taught to the DUmbasses by their MSNBC uberfurhen.

You'll see them claiming immigration "enforcement" is a "dog whistle" for racism against hispanics and "national debt" is a "dog whistle" for "N****R!"

Oh shit - some DUmmy lost their job at 7-11.

Please enjoy your life being TOTALLY dependent on your neighbor's paycheck.

So now FDR and Jimmy Carter are Neocons?

Many of the small business owners I know are pulling money out of savings or credit lines to keep their businesses going. Others have pared down their workforce and expenses to survive and see if sanity returns to WDC.  Finally, the others have given up and retired early.

When Obama HellCare goes into effect a very large percentage of doctors will do the same as the latter group of business owners.

11. There is another reason, that has nothing to do with your theory  
 TAX RATES. Historically when the US has LOW marginal Tax Rates... what the wealthy and uber wealthy pay... we have poor investment in the economy. They rather park the money in the bank. Exhibit A for this was the 1929 crash. Exhibit B, what is going on right now.

When you have HIGH Marginal Tax Rates these people use another strategy to hide that money. That is they INVEST IT in the companies they own, growing the businesses. Exhibit A for this, the Great Depression, when it went from the low 20s to the 90%... Exhibit B... the 1950s.
 

Your "exhibits" are useless and vague, and your theory of tax policy behavior is ass backwards.  

Cal33 is over there begging for "charity" jobs, i.e. you get a paycheck but don't have to work, because demand is down.  He lays out his case:

55. 1. Since they are rolling in cash, a few might have enough  
 compassion for their fellow human beings who are in misery. It's the
equivalent of giving to charity. 2. It's also an opportunity to practice
patriotism. 3. There is the hope of making something back, since the more
people are employed, the more people there are who will be spending. 4. Some
might even successfully expand their businesses.

And he repeats this several times.
