    This site is about libertarian ideas, politics, economics, government, freedom, property rights, entrepreneurship, innovation, objectivty and other such stuff important to humans. I uphold libertarian principles and believe wholeheartedly in minimal government, or no government if it would work -- this blog explains why.

    Chamber of Commerce -- it starts with a nudge

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/07/obama-businesses-winning-future-help-america-succeed/

    Obama is out again with his message that American companies have a duty to hire. He even pointed to his healthcare bill as beiing a boon to businesses. Then how come we see so many companies gettin waivers?

    Obama is still touting his healthcare bill as a way to save money in healthcare costs. This is so dishonest, I don't know where to start. But I won't get into that again -- everyone knows by now that the numbers from CBO were rigged. The worst thing about Obama's campaign to coax businesses into hiring is that it's not based on economics but political manipulation.

    Businesses should be worried, because following each nudge is a shove. He asked businesses to "get in the game". Which game would that be? The political game to get Obama re-elected, or the game of State Capitalism. Now, let's be clear, many American companies would love more regulation if the regulation helps them and blocks start-ups from getting "in the game" and creating healthy competition. The message from the CoC should be that government needs to separate itself from the economy, but, unfortunately, the "game" is State Capitalism and the State needs players, and Coach Obama needs to renew his contract.
