Has Obama been good or bad for these companies? I mean, a job is a two way street...you need an employer! And even if you are self-employed, you need to companies as customers, or you need individuals who are employed, in order to be paying customers. I guess my point is....I think corporations need to be strong, but in turn, they need to use that strength in such a way that helps are economy...namely by growing, reinvesting, and most importantly, HIRING. Problem is...what do you do when companies start to thrive, and instead hoard those windfalls by consolidating to a few of the already immensely wealthy? Capitalism in it's purest form suggests that those people's greed will eventually win out and they will NEED to have more, and in order to get more, they will have to grow their companies...reinvest...hire. But that doesn't seem to always work...does it? And finally...where does Obama fit into all of this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:338881 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
