SOTU Response Part 2: America Best Place To Do Business

This one is pretty galling. He says “We have to make America the best place on earth to do business”. Well, duh We WERE the best place on earth to do business, until your anti-business, high tax, high regulation attitude forced companies to locate overseas. We are not the best place to do business because of HIS actions.

He talks about fostering innovation, “investing” in innovation. The government does not need to spend any of our money on this: there are plenty of private businesses which would love to be able to spend money on fostering and bringing innovation to market. There are literally thousands of entrepreneurs who would LOVE to start businesses right now, to think of new and innovative ways to to things, the create new products and services. But who can create a new business in this environment of fear? He has literally come out against business so many times, how can he legitimately come out now and say that he supports it.

No savvy entrepreneur is going to create a new business in an environment where the government can step in at a moments notice and destroy it. That would be insanity. And expecting this tiger to change his stripes after more that 2 years of anti-business rhetoric is likely insane too.
