American business owners are not stupid. As long as the anti american, anti business Communists (Democrats) control the White House and Senate they will not hire. Too much risk in knowing that they will be punished if by chance they can make more than $250,000 a year. My question for Obama is how does a family that makes a combined $200,000 a year become a millionaire and billionaire? You know, his tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires but his cut off point is $200k.
