If

Press says 2 small biz owners, “You didn’t build that” Starting a small biz involves huge risk & Obama wants to take the reward

Obama says success of small biz is collective achievement b/c of gov’t. As a former small biz owner, I succeeded DESPITE, not b/c of, gov’t
ObamaCare = one of the biggest tax increases on American people in history. What happened to “it’s not a tax?”
#ObamaTax
ObamaCare is unprecedented intrusion of fed gov’t into free mkt & indiv freedom. What’s next on Obama Agenda? Let’s not find out.
My stmnt on ObamaCare ruling here:

SCOTUS ruled 6/28/12, American people will rule 11/6/12
@
NRO
"Admin’s real beef w/ AZ isn’t that it contradicts federal law so much as that it contradicts its own choice 2 ignore federal law...”
SCOTUS unanimously upholds core of AZ law. AZ is stepping up where fed gov’t has failed. Now, more than ever, we need mandatory E-Verify.
The House will vote to stop all tax hikes which would devastate a weak economy and put more Americans out of work.
#stopthetaxhike
Obama’s executive amnesty undermines Rule of Law. We cannot set aside some laws for some people, there must be equal treatment under the law

GDP drops to dismal 2.2%. Obama’s European vision for our economy is not working. It’s time for a new vision that doesn’t glorify big govt.
Thanks 2 vocal outrage, Obama wisely backtracks on new intrusive DOL rules 4family farms. Another example of Obama overreach.

Under Obama U.S. debt has increased an astronomical $5 TRILLION. We cannot sustain Obama’s levels of spending.

Senate once again punts on considering a budget after prev saying they would hold a vote. Disappointing & discouraging

Every reason Obama has given 4 Buffett Rule has been shot down – no impact on deficits, no econ growth & does not make tax code more “fair”

Obama’s “Buffett Rule” would raise $47B over 10 yrs. Obama spent 16 TIMES that amt in 1st few months of Presidency (failed $787B stimulus).
