    I'm sure that business people all over the country are echoing exactly the same words. The business this guy runs is a part of the backbone which makes the economy thrive. It seems that their confidence in the president getting the economy on track to make these businesses prosperous has come to a halt. If you read the comments section in the article, a lot of businessmen and workers are speaking out and many are absolutely sure that Obama is determined to kill the American economy on purpose and that nothing can improve as long as he is in office. What say you?

    WACO, Ga. -- A west Georgia business owner is stirring up controversy with signs he posted on his company's trucks, for all to see as the trucks roll up and down roads, highways and interstates:
    "New Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone."

    "Can't afford it," explained the employer, Bill Looman, Tuesday evening. "I've got people that I want to hire now, but I just can't afford it. And I don't foresee that I'll be able to afford it unless some things change in D.C."

    Looman's company is U.S. Cranes, LLC. He said he put up the signs, and first posted pictures of the signs on his personal Facebook page, six months ago, and he said he received mostly positive reaction from people, "about 20-to-one positive."

    But for some reason, one of the photos went viral on the Internet on Monday.

    Businesses in the US are some of the most corrupt in the first world. Plus they're doing great. Business is booming for the upper class. They have more money than ever. They have enough to single-handedly end the job crisis but they don't. Taxes are lower than they've ever been. Profits higher. Yet the lower and middle class still keeps being pushed down.

    A crane company going out of business? Are you serious? There aren't enough crane companies in the construction industry.

    the businesses are sabotaging job growth in protest of the President

    republicans gave them this luxury and now more government control is needed to make them do what we want.

    lower taxes on businesses that do hire and higher taxes on businesses that don't hire is a start

    the only way to deal with them is more government control in their business

    there is no free market and their all too big to fail so this is the only way to force them into submission

    A lot of these businesses are already working with unions. So your strongarm union thuggery tactics would go absolutely nowhere with them.

    the democrat party picks winners and losers in the market and unionized businesses are almost always going to be in the winners because they give the most campaign money to democrats

    republican backed businesses are the ones that are protesting here

    No such thing as too big to fail. LET them fail. We keep saving them with our money.

    there aren't enough crane companies, they made it that they are the only ones that provide services for their industry

    for example if the banks weren't bailed out the economy would have went down the drain

    I don't believe it would be that big of a deal. I think it would have hurt but something superior would come and replace it.

    We're not allowing capitalism to flourish. Businesses cannot evolve in this situation. We're supporting FAILED businesses when we should be investing in NEW ventures.

    The US government could have covered the losses to the people with the money they gave to the banks. At least until a new bank popped up or until Americans found an alternative.


    Supporting a dead limb is stupid. It'll hurt but you HAVE to cut it off. There's no point. We're only hurting ourselves in the long run.

    I'll bet you a dollar that the crane company covered in the article is union. You just can't stand the fact that now even the unions are getting sick of your boy up there in the Oval Office.

    Do you have any idea how much it costs to hire somebody? Probably not, because I doubt that you run a business like I do.

    Let me ask you something and be truthful in your answer. Would you like total government control of all businesses, both large and small?

    Something tells me you are an Obama supporter as well.

    Let me give you a hint. You don't hire someone just to hire them. They must produce something of value to support their being hired. If the work is not there to be done, you can expect a huge loss in payroll expense. Soon you are out of business. Then no jobs.

    Obama is toxic to job growth.

    That certainly isn't a sane strategy. I can see you just can't deal with capitalism. In such a system you have to be responsible for yourself. You have to prove your own value. Seems you'd rather have your government set your value for you.

    big businesses have trillions in cash and monopolies on the market they compete in allowing them the ability to hire at will whenever they like and with very little risk, no hole in the wall small business can relate to them thats why they are called too big to fail

    it even allows them to not hire at all and protest the democrats for wanting them to redestribute wealth and give smaller businesses a chance to compete in the market

    republican small business owners would probably continue to vote against their own interests even when big business decides to stop giving them the crumbs they profit from and still blame democrats

    Again, please answer. Would you like total government control of all businesses, both large and small?
