President Obama signed a bill on Thursday that will make it easier for small businesses to find investors. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act makes it possible for "ordinary Americans ... to go online and invest in entrepreneurs that they believe in," with the hope that small businesses will expand quicker and start hiring. He also hopes the bill will help bridge the gap between Republicans and Democrats, and House Minority Leader Eric Cantor helped sponsor it.
Obama said at the signing ceremony, "I've always said that the true engine of job creation in this country is the private sector, not the government. Our job is to help our companies grow and hire ... That's why I've cut taxes for small businesses over 17 times. That's why every day I'm fighting to make sure America is the best place on Earth to do business." But will the JOBS bill improve the job market? Tell us what you think.

#1.) They will use it as a tax base to fund their crony lying Wars around the world.
#2.) If they continually support Wall Street Crooks, and Too Big To Fail Banks, and no one is convicted for their crimes in collapsing the Economy, why do I want my Company in such a Screwed Place as America? They will simply steal my Company.
#3.) If we can't put lying Presidents behind bars, then we know the Whole American Story is a Baked Up Farce. I am not about to start a Business in America, or think buying a home in America is a good idea, when no one is ever held accountable.
#4.) Too many guns on the Streets. Why do I want to work in America knowing just walking out of my house, I can be shot by a drive by shooter, even on the Thruway.
#5.) Going to School, to get shot in Class is not my idea of Higher Education. I have seen it personally.
#6.) The USA will not pay reparations or help rebuild the Countries they illegally invaded. Why do I want to live in such an anarchist Nation?
#7.) Bush and Cheney lied about Iraq, and Afghanistan, and invaded and killed thousands ...

#7.) Bush and Cheney lied about Iraq, and Afghanistan, and invaded and killed thousands of innocent people. Nothing is done about that. Murderers walk the street. Why do I want to work in America? And Obama lied about Libya, which is now torn into 3 separate factions.
#8.) You need to be on Prozac if you think America is the greatest country in the world. It clearly is the worse. It is nothing but one crime scene and liar after another.
#9.) Everyone is under constant surveillance, if it is not tracking diodes in your passport, it is tracking your every move from your cell phone, And Camera's are on every corner. There is no freedom, just servitude to a government that only wants Debt.
#10.) Obama has lied about Change, lied about ending the Wars, and Guantanamo. Says nothing about the 911 inside job, and actually supports the Old Bush Policies. I want nothing to do with a guy who stole my vote. Voting is a joke in America. Everyone knows Romney was crowned by Bush Senior. Romney is a crook, one of the guys who helped crash the economy.
#11.) No matter what you you say Obama is doing, or Romney will do, will change the fact the Rich only want to rape and steal our minds for their benefit, not yours.
As Ross Perot said: I hear that large sucking sound, well to me it is a flushing sound, of the American BS Election Machine.
Even if it helps temporarily, it sets up the economy of the country for the same sort of crash we had in 2007-2008.
If Obama had really understood the real private sector job market in 2008, he would not have ordered Geithner and Bernanke to hand out TARP money to the banks without strings.
That legislation was intended to shore up the capital of banks that had made loans willy-nillly and had overheated the market, giving them the funds to meet their lending obligations while they cut back on new lending. Instead, Geithner and the US Treasury did the opposite, telling the banks to use it for new loans and to get out of existing real estate and construction loans asap. The banks then termed those existing loans "bad" without cause, sent their foreclosure lawyers in to call good loans, and caused the layoffs of thousands from their jobs and the destruction of small businesses all over the nation.
A Federal Reserve of St. Louis study showed that 22% of the jobs lost from that fiasco were in the construction industry, with many more in related industries that supply and service the construction industry.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.--Since you hate guns and we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar ...

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Remember, We're only here for a little while. It's time to save a little of what's left for our world for our children.
no 'store-bought'- food because you survive picking wild berries
that you never once owned a 'combustion engine' device
'store-bought' clothing falls into the same category
We know you avoid those at all costs!
You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite would you?
maybe a tie
definitely not a definitive winner/loser
Liberals either don't know the facts, or they ignore the facts when the facts get in the way of their agenda.
Is this why US now in the first place for the highest corporate tax in the world?
"This gaping disparity means every other country that we compete with for new investment is better situated to land that new investment and the jobs that come with it, because the after-tax return from that investment promises to be higher in those lower-taxed nations.
Our high rate also makes our businesses prime targets for takeovers by businesses headquartered in foreign countries, because their worldwide profits are no longer subject to the highest-in-the-world U.S. corporate tax rate. Until Congress cuts the rate, more and more iconic U.S. businesses such as Anheuser-Busch will be bought by their foreign competitors.
Unfortunately, in the face of this tax rate, the Obama Administration is proposing measures that will make matters even worse for U.S. companies. Last week, Vice President Joe Biden proposed a “global minimum tax” in a wrongheaded effort to encourage companies to invest in the United States instead of overseas. Just like the rest of President Obama’s corporate tax policy, it will just make matters worse — punishing firms that seek new opportunities in growing markets by taxing their earnings in those developing markets ev...

Last week, Vice President Joe Biden proposed a “global minimum tax” in a wrongheaded effort to encourage companies to invest in the United States instead of overseas. Just like the rest of President Obama’s corporate tax policy, it will just make matters worse — punishing firms that seek new opportunities in growing markets by taxing their earnings in those developing markets even more heavily than they’re already taxed. The net result will be to make it even more likely that the companies’ assets would go up for sale to overseas firms in order to escape the Obama tax penalty. Unfortunately, America’s workers pay the price for this destructive tax policy.
Congress should act now to help make America more competitive on the global stage, and it can do so by reducing the corporate tax rate to match or preferably fall below the international average. The U.S. economy is struggling to recover from the global recession, and by lifting the burden of record-high corporate tax rates, Congress can give American companies incentive to grow and expand here at home. If not, the American people can expect to see more companies like Anheuser-Busch bought up by international competitors — and the jobs will go right along with them."

Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the
Government Green Czar
and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
