.......I have always liked John Stossel. In the early days he was the reporter who would always find some local business doing some sort of shady things to rip off consumers and exposing them on National TV. In the process he garnered 16 Emmys. Somewhere along the line he realized that the misdeeds of business was small potatoes compared to the misdeeds of Government, especially Big Government...... ......In his recent article "The Double Standard of Journalist's Bias" he explained his turnaround in reporting and how it affected his Career. By not demonizing business any more the Emmy's stopped and his once favored image as a reporter was in jeopardy. In his own words he says ...."I figured out that business, for the most part, treats consumers pretty well. The way to get rich in business is to create something good, sell it for a reasonable price, acquire a reputation for honesty and keep pleasing customers so they come back for more." .... .......How true are those words, America owes a deep debt of gratitude to the multitudes of businesses and corporations that do the "right thing" and spur this 15 trillion dollar economy not because of Government but in spite of it. No Country in the world comes even close to us........ ........ Our Government imposes the Worlds 2nd highest tax on businesses. Can you imagine what our economy would do if we were the 2nd lowest in business taxes? In a span of only 2 hundred years our free market economy has grown to be the world's largest most innovative and technologically advanced than any other. Why? because of the profit motive enjoyed by Businesses that provide us the goods and services we demand. Lets be honest any tax on business is a tax on us the consumer. Lets tell our elected officials to lower the tax on business/corporations to 25% instead of its current rate of 40%. Lets see how that will "stimulate". Lets see how that will lower unemployment and finally lets see how the consumer reacts to the lower prices on the shelf......... " If guns kill people then pencils misspell words" |

The way to get rich in business is to create something good, sell it for a reasonable price, acquire a reputation for honesty and keep pleasing customers so they come back for more." ....

No doubt about it, America's business community has been getting a raw deal from the commie-lib media, and the American public buys into the view thus projected. The outstanding example is how the medical insurance and health care business generally is portrayed. America has the finest health care system in the world thanks to enterprising business people, but all you hear are complaints, and how Canada does it better.

60minman You are just plain bad!  I keep repeating to people, and I'll say it again: read Ayn Rands "Atlas Shrugged." It was written many years ago, but certainly depicts what is happening today. The scary thing, is that if it keeps up, the result will be the same.
