All one has to do is take a hard look at Greece to see how the Liberal/Socialist way of running a country destroys a robust economy. Proof that sooner or later the rich run out of money and we are all broke, then what? We starve that's what.

John Fleming for president!!

You can only tax the wealthy so long before they give up trying to run a business because the profit margin dips so low that it's no longer feasible to operate, then they move it to China. The Liberal ways of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor has proven to be a growth killer and does not work. Capitolism on the other hand stimulates growth, creates jobs, and has proven that it works because more people have money in their pockets. No growth, no profits, spells death to the USA.

You 2 nimrods failed to mention that Congressman Fleming puts a huge percentage of his profits back into his Subway and UPS businesses to create even more jobs for the economy. He's doing what any good entrepenure should do and that's putting profits back into the businesses that he's created to stimulate growth, something that most of you can't understand. Taxing someone just because they are rich and have the desire to prosper is what's killing this economy, not solving it's problems.

Congressman Flemming owns 33 Subway sandwich shops and is a Regional Developer for UPS stores in Louisiana and Texas. If you can't call that job creation what do you call it? Owning a business comes with many risk (lawsuits, economy, etc). Subway's can employ 10 or more people per site, 330+ people employed by JF just at Subway.

Thanks John Fleming for employing my friends son that dropped out of school, has had a drug problem, does not want higher education, and enjoys working at Subway.

Obama may have given a state of his re-election address, but Congressman Fleming just gave a state of his bs address. Are you still struggling on $400,000 a year? The reason people are without jobs is because of greedmongers like Congressman Fleming who whine that they can't afford a tax cut because it will dip into their ablity co create low wage jobs. I like the use of the religious jargon at the end to court the unsuspecting evangelical voters who drink the koolade of your hypocrisy.
