Lastly, Sir, THANK YOU for becoming an American! May YOUR example inspire more talented and creative individuals to come.

To ALL of them I say, WELCOME!

And if the next Republican administration turns out to be sliding towards socialism as well, even if at a slower pace, I should expect Mr. Peterffy to make another ad putting them down as strongly.

Bayam,

It’s so sad, your attempts to seem able to grasp at concepts which are beyond crayon. Jobs, Gates, et. al. are indeed left-leaning individuals, and it’s too bad that their politics were informed by socialist instruction during their formative years. But their successes could not be had if they started tomorrow, under the current business environment. Their successes are 100% independent of government assistance or intrusion, as are all great business successes, and dependent purely upon the timing of their product/service and the demands of the market. In other words, only captialism can permit the creation of Microsoft or Google.

Find an example of a grand and globally successful business venture birthed under socialism. Take all the time you need. And oh, by the way, the charitable donations provided privately by individuals employed by those successful ventures outstrips all forms of government welfare combined. Capitalism is the most caring, charitable form of economy known to man.

But you just keep trying.

This ad was a brilliant teaching tool for my young children who were assigned to ask their parents who we are voting for and why.

Teachers have no right to ask their students that question. None, under any circumstances, for any reason whatsoever. In a free country, which candidate you plan to vote for is nobody else’s business, period. That’s why free countries have secret – and secure – ballots.

You buffoons are hilarious. The great entrepreneurs – capitalists in this country are moderate or left leaning. It’s only conservatives who are constantly whining about how the gov’ment is the excuse for their lack of success. Microsoft, Google, SpaceX, Apple, and other great companies of the new economy were founded by left-leaning capitalists.

Um…. You realize they did this inside a CAPITALIST country, right??

Care to point out some comparable examples of new economy stars started in SOCIALIST (or worse) countries, oh Legend In Your Own Mind??

Or does the very POINT Mr. Peterffy makes escape you completely???

Life, liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness.

That phrase, especially the last part is something progressives don’t grasp… at all.

No they don’t. They want to do what they think is best for all of us. But we want to do what we think is best for ourselves. Freedom.

how bout that citizens united ruling, you Stalinist reprobate?

Full of shite.

More than 500 economists, 5 Nobel laureates back Romney’s economic strategy

The 526 economists — including Nobel laureates Gary Becker, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Myron Scholes — point to six facets of Romney’s economic approach that they see as beneficial to future economic success:

Reduce marginal tax rates on business and wage incomes and broaden the tax base to increase investment, jobs, and living standards;
End the exploding federal debt by controlling the growth of spending so federal spending does not exceed 20 percent of the economy;
Restructure regulation to end “too big to fail,” improve credit availability to entrepreneurs and small businesses, and increase regulatory accountability, and ensure that all regulations pass rigorous benefit-cost tests.
Improve our Social Security and Medicare programs by reducing their growth to sustainable levels, ensuring their viability over the long term, and protecting those in or near retirement;
Reform our healthcare system to harness market forces and thereby reduce costs and increase quality, empowering patients and doctors, rather than the federal bureaucracy;
Promote energy policies that increase domestic production, enlarge the use of all western hemisphere resources, encourage the use of new technologies, end wasteful subsidies, and rely more on market forces and less on government planners.

You’re so full of your fallacious arguments…YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE.

You must love the Chinese though.

Yes, that’s right, all those wealthy liberals in large cities are focused on increasing their government benifts.

bayam on October 13, 2012 at 2:28 PM

You and your love of corporate welfare…Hilarious.

…more and more of my American heroes seem to have accents…many of the generational Americans have no clue what has been incrementally disappearing for them in this country.
