Companies don’t grow and don’t hire new people when you keep cutting their bottom line. A strong profit margin equals a stronger stock showing, stronger stocks equal a stronger market, a stronger market equals stronger investments, savings, and retirements.

This country was founded by people who wanted a government that did simply the basics and left the rest alone this all encompassing nanny state is an abomination or should I say an Obama-nation.
