PrezBO is having his big White House jobs summit today. Let's take a look at the general guest list:
- Small business owners -- Not invited.
- U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- Not invited.
- Andy Stern, President of the Service Employees International Union -- Invited.
- National Federation of Independent Businesses - Not invited.
- United Steel Workers union president -- Invited
- Teacher's union president -- Invited
- Anna Burger, SEIU .. invited.
- Big Obama Donors. Invited.
- Opponents of Obama's stimulus spending. Not invited
WTF? Small business owners account for 80% of all private sector jobs in our economy, and 70% of all jobs now being created (or is it the other way around?) and they're not playing a huge role in this phony summit? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, one of the biggest proponents and supporters of free enterprise in this nation ... not invited?
There is a problem. Businesses just aren't creating jobs as they have in previous recoveries. And why would that be? Perhaps that's because in previous economic recoveries the very businesses we rely on for new jobs weren't being threatened with huge tax increases. Can someone please tell me what sane small businessman is going to go on an expansion spree at a time when the political party in power is talking tax increases that could increase that businessman's federal tax burden by as much as 15 percentage points?
The goal here is to present to the government-educated dumb masses the idea the Obama is actually engaged in the business of creating more jobs. Truth is, the only business Obama is engaged in is that of increasing the size and power of government. Remember, our community organizer President has referred to the private sector as "the enemy." The enemy has no seat at his jobs summit.
Bottom line? It's all for show. This is a MoveOn.org, ACORN, union and government jobs fest .. nothing more. The people, however, will easily be fooled.
