Wait and See

Profits are back, cash flow is good, and Steve's dance moves are better than ever?! But before Frank, his girlfriend Karen and the rest of the gang can expand, hire and invest at their small business, they'll have to convince the Boss Lady. Watch this short comedy, and see what's stopping the quirky employees of this small biz from living "a real American Dream."

Though this video is a joke, it's message is not. Washington's rhetoric and policies have been creating a damaging environment of uncertainty for businesses. When businesses lack clarity, they can't plan ahead -- choking expansion, investment and job creation.
----------------------------
We dig deeper into this issue with "Moving Forward in Uncertain Times" -- the first in our documentary series "The Story of Business." Watch it here: http://bit.ly/aMxksO

The Story of Business highlights the stories of inspiring small business owners and the consequences of Washington's actions on their (and the country's) livelihood.

Welcome to the Obama-Depression, and its just getting started.

Yes this arguement was to stop inflationary and deflationary aspects of currency, and hold in place the gold standard -- yet we do this very thing today. Poor old TJ didn't see that the gov. itself would engage in such policies. However, unlike with corporations there is only one gov. that prints money for us now, and no other viable options.

A simple lack of foresight, for he never foresaw a expansive gov. such that we have today.

Good point, even if it supports private tender.

So true... so funny... so true that it is sad...

@raddave9: corporate profits might have broken a record (or come close, depending on adjustments) last quarter. That doesn't indicate Panic in the Boardrooms. When you add in the fact that those linked to the Kochtopus (search it) are prone to deceive and the fact that one of BankruptingAmerica's previous videos did deceive, it doesn't look too good.

To find out how one of BankruptingAmerica's previous videos misled, remove the spaces from this:

@tkwelge Exactly. (Makyo here) I wonder if I would be as smug as they in their shoes. I actually receive half of my retirement income from oil and gas royalties left to me by family members. I sort of am in the same boat with them, but I don't feel smug about it. I wish eveyone else were so fortunate as I am. I share my windfall generously with those I know who need a little help from time to time. It makes me feel good about myself to be able to. Lack of sushine affects tese people I think.

@MyLittleBomb Influence does not equal control. I agree that corporations largely abuse the system to make the market less free. However, it is the voter's responsibility to prevent that from occurring. Banning speech at any level is unethical.

@1Makyo Norway also produces enough oil per day per person to amount to about 1000 dollars a month for each man, woman, and child in the country. The US produces a 20th as much. Socialism is easy when you have a small, homogeneous population living on top of a gold mine.

@MyLittleBomb I'm all for caring for other humans and treating them as if they are more than bags of meat. However, the issue doesn't end there. There are other factors that I am forced to acknowledge. As is the case with most things, health care resources are finite. Everybody has to have an incentive to do a large number of different things in order to make healthcare work. Simply hammering away at people emotionally is not the best way to create a well informed debate. 

[tkwelge]

@MyLittleBomb I'm not arguing against Wendell Potter. His views are his views, and I'm sure that everything that he says is accurate. However, the philosophical positions are a bit lacking. Corporations use the sick to make money? Yes, that is kinda the entire purpose of the insurance industry. This is no new revelation to me. Insurance companies exist to make money. Without that ability to profit, private insurance would not exist. Governments deny treatments to people all of the time too.

@tkwelge " If that is the title of a book, than I can probably surmise that that book is full of emotional grandstanding meant to persuade other simple people." Persuade people into what? Caring for other human beings? Not charging for healthcare? Not treating humans with thoughts and feelings like they are just bags of meat? Is that what Wendell Potter is trying to convince people to do? If so I'm all for it.
