Atlas shrugging

Liberals confirmed for hating business

> financial corporations wield influence on government to deregulate the laws which govern them; one decade later, cause a global economic meltdown
> wonder why everybody's so miffed at them

liberals r gah lol

> implying you could successfully start a chain of hardware department stores in 2011 anyway

Home depot is overpriced shit, with better stores out there, it's no wonder he wouldn't be able to start it up again today.

Also, the nation is in malaise because the wealth is sitting at the top, not doing anything. Start spending it and the economy will recover.

He mentions Ron Paul

>Implying the global financial meltdown wasn't due to the US government's insistence that everyone own a home leading to changes in lending standards for financial institutions and eventually to the mess we have today

The US Gov., intervening in the financial markets led to this. Not the other way around.

liberals cannot into business

If a massive chain like Home Depot couldn't start out today, then it's just about impossible a small hardware store could start and stay in business.

Goddamn, you liberals are so fucking stupid. You shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anything economic.

You're the reason when you drive through any city ALL you see are big corporate chain franchises--because those are the only ones who can afford to navigate the shitload of regulations and taxes you idiots have piled on them and still stay in business. And now, we're crossing the line to where even THOSE fuckers can't stay in business. Goddamn Burger King had to close all their stores in my city for fuck's sake.

The cheap prices of homes depot and even walmart will kill most new hardware stores.

Only small hardware stores i know is ace and they are pretty expensive.

Bernie sounds like just another Jew merchant that wants his own slice of the bailout pie.

Home Depot is just a beneficiary of the larger Giant Housing Bubble of 1980-2007. He knows that era is over and will never return, so he's angling for as much free government cheese as he can get.

Remember, no businessman cares about anything but INCREASING HIS OWN WEALTH. No matter what he says in public, the only goal in his mind is INCREASING HIS OWN WEALTH.

Of course. It's all washingtons fault. The fraudulent toxic mortgage securities that banks were dumping didn't have any hand in this.
>mfw you are a fucking RETARD

No shit he couldn't start the company now. Demand has shrunk as the middle class has less to spend. You can't start a business where your intended customers don't have the money to spend and thus do not have the desire to buy your products.

>mfw the government investigated--and then approved---all those toxic loans
>nofacecandescribe.jpeg

The man admits he could not compete as a small business owner against the company he has created.

Expects sympathy and handouts for large businesses like his.

Stossel had the Best Buy CEO on his show last week, said the same thing about not being able to create Best Buy today

>>687345

A law was made (I forget the name of it) in which bank CEOs swore and oath before approving of their company's annual finance reports as a show that everything in it is legal and they have proper institutional control. What happened was that they simply approved of everything despite knowing they were lending out massive amounts of toxic loans and did little to nothing to rein in these practices, thus having lost institutional control.

So, no, the government did not approve of those loans.

>mfw the SEC didn't intervene when they were supposed to so it's all their faults not just washingtons.
I say lock up all the constituents and CEOs who knew about this but didn't say anything.

>mfw libtards project their entitlement mindset onto everyone else and say Bernie is looking for a handout

>I Couldn't Start Home Depot Today

Good. Maybe if these gigantic corporations didn't exist, small businesses would be thriving and provide jobs for millions of people.
