55 percent of small business owners would not start company today, blame Obama

Hmmm . . . creating jobs, eh?

From the article:

Fifty-five percent of small business owners and manufacturers would not have started their businesses in today’s economy, according to a new poll that also reports 69 percent say President Obama’s regulatory policies have hurt their businesses.

“There is far too much uncertainty, too many burdensome regulations and too few policymakers willing to put aside their egos and fulfill their responsibilities to the American people,” said Jay Thomas, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, which commissioned the poll along with the National Federation of Independent Businesses. “To fix this problem, we need immediate action on pro-growth tax and regulatory policies that put manufacturers in the United States in a position to compete and succeed in an ever-more competitive global economy.”

The poll reports another ominous statistic for job creation: “67 percent say there is too much uncertainty in the market today to expand, grow or hire new workers.” Why? Because “President Obama’s Executive Branch and regulatory policies have hurt American small businesses and manufacturers,” according to 69 percent of the business owners surveyed.

Here are the key findings in the poll, as highlighted by NAM:

-67 percent say there is too much uncertainty in the market today to expand, grow or hire new workers.
-69 percent of small business owners and manufacturers say President Obama’s Executive Branch and regulatory policies have hurt American small businesses and manufacturers.
-55 percent say they would not start a business today given what they know now and in the current environment.
-54 percent say other countries like China and India are more supportive of their small businesses and manufacturers than the United States.

“Instead of smoothing the way, our government continues to erect more barriers to growth through burdensome regulations that increase costs for small businesses and all Americans,” NFIB president Dan Danner said.

Those statistics suggest that even Democratic and independent small business owners criticized Obama, because only 46 percent of poll participants identified as Republicans, per Roll Call.

“It’s clear that small business owners and manufacturers are becoming increasingly more frustrated by the federal government’s inability to solve America’s economic problems,” Bill McInturff, whose Public Opinion Strategies conducted the poll. “Manufacturers place most of the blame squarely on policies coming out of Washington.”

No way I would start or invest in a small businesstoday.
My company is looking at the worst year we have ever had and next year is not looking any better.
Most of the people we are dealing with are not willing to sjpend any money unless they can see some sort of reduction in their overall cost of operations as a result.
Some are not willing to risk expanding because of unkowns in future costs related to reghulatioons because of expansion.

Gotta love them tabloids!

I started one last year. Making good money. Less competition for me. Idiots.

Just think had they done this survey at the height of the housing bubble...right before everything went to shit people were thinking what a great time it is to start their own business.


The responces would be just as wrong then as now. Now is the time to start a business if you have the balls.

Or you can bitch and moan like JD and COG and HatingKayla. They should start a cult of hate, you three would be natural leaders in one.

Odd. Pointing out the truth is a "cult of hate."

Truth is treason in the Empire of Lies.

if on the other hand, he's telling the truth, and he is wealthy like he claims, then that is a sign of mental illness.......

I vote he's lying.....the old queen is full of shit...........


HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
