Obama’s Fallacious Attempts to Control America’s Economy Through the Red Tape of Bureaucracy Have Stifled Business and Commerce

The Obama Legacy: An Economy Choking on Red Tape:

Obama does not get business. He is a product of prep-school and then found his way into Columbia and Harvard. Then he became a “community organizer” in the Saul Alinsky tradition in Chicago. Then he became a politician. He hasn’t spent any time in the world in which most Americans live.

Indeed Obama has been downright hostile to commerce and the private sector since the beginning of his presidency. Remember the “you didn’t build that” nonsense? I mean really, anyone who has worked in the private sector, never mind started a business or made payroll, knew that the president was just woefully off base. To be kind.

Obama could almost be forgiven for the statement if it was understood that he was just trying to score political points. But It appears that the president honestly believed the “you didn’t build that” bit. And that is absurd for an adult. Sorry.

This ignorance of business, commerce, the ebb and flow of the economy, whatever one wants to call it, has colored Obama’s business policy from the outset and as such the economy has been retarded. Obama’s failure on the economy is only second to his failure on the racial front.

Some Perspective on the Real Problem Effecting America’s Economy

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Emancipated Human,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"If regulatory growth froze in 1980, we would today be approximately $4 trillion richer! The Cost of Regulations: If the cost of regulatory accumulations ($4 trillion) were a country, it would have the 4th largest GDP in the world. (That amount is large enough to be the world's 4th largest economy!) GDP, in nominal 2012 dollars (billion USD)"

(Rebecca Mueller) If you are thinking of starting a small business in Chicago, you might want to have an attorney lined up to help push things through City Hall.

Last week, my mobile fashion boutique, North & Hudson, finally hit the streets after months of sitting on the sidelines waiting for approval from the city.

After leaving my career in finance and graduating from fashion school, I watched dozens of my classmates flee Chicago for places like New York or Los Angeles. But I was determined to stay here in Chicago and to support local fabric and manufacturing businesses with orders from my clothing line.

Victory for African-Style Hair Braiders in Iowa:
http://ij.org/press-release/victory-african-style-hair-braiders-iowa/

(Matt Powers) Hair braiders in Iowa will soon be free to earn an honest living. Under a new law that will take effect tomorrow, July 1, braiders will be exempted from Iowa’s cosmetology licensing laws and will simply need to register with the state. The Institute for Justice (IJ) and braiders Aicheria Bell and Achan Agit will voluntarily dismiss their lawsuit challenging Iowa’s law requiring that African-style hair braiders get a cosmetology license.

My Commentary: But, without government, who would empower and enrich themselves by “legislating” society directly into poverty and prison, while forcing their victims to pay for the so-called “service,” under threat of violence, kidnapping and murder?
