  You guys are reaching for straws. Why don't you try explaining the failure of the conservative Governors in creating jobs?

  That Bush appointee was in charge until Mid November while all this was happening.

  Well Donald - All the data hasn't come out yet. And up until Fall. I believe the IRS was run by a Bush, Republican Appointee!!

  I just went on-line and found out the unemployment rate for various States. As of today you Conservative Policies are NOT lowering the unemployment rate.
  Maybe you should talk to those Governors and educate them on the proper conservative methods to bring unemployment down! By the way, you can add North and South Carolina as well as Tennessee to that list.
  All unemployment rates above the national average!!!

  Back to the original question. Is Massachusetts good for Business?

  The answer is YES!
  As of now our unemployment rate is significantly below the National Average .

  States with Conservative Governors, Wisconsin, Indiana, New Jersey have Unemployment rates Above the Average
  Good Work Deval and our State Legislature!

  Hi Steve
  Under Reagan the debt went up 200%. He also increased taxes and the capital gains was at 28% So don't give me that BS he reduced taxes and had no debt increase.. Since Bush pushed his stimulus business taxes have been at their lowest for the past 12 years. So where are the jobs - Business dropped the ball!
  Time for business to pick up the slack!
  Look at Texas - A state with few regulations and Red Tape - Their unemployment rate is no better than Massachusetts
  And dont give me that BS about Red Tape and Regulations - Businesses have been dealing with that stuff for years and years and they are making record profits.

  In fact regulations create jobs and new industries. Without regulations you wouldn't have hybred cars, and better fuel efficiency for instance. I can name many many instances of where regulations have created new industries and jobs

  Wow Steve -You must have been awake all night coming up with this stuff!

  Why stop at Mexico with supplying of arms? We both know the US is the largest supplier of weapons world-wide and it has been going on for decades.

  With respect to Benghazi. What's the coverup? All that information has been in the public domain since the beginning! I'm sure you rewrite and review important documents before you submit them!
  And don't forget the cover up of the CIA agent that was outed in the Bush Chaney administration - Didn't some one go to jail for that one?

  How do I feel about the people that are unemployed. Disapointed in the Business Sector. They have dropped the ball! Making record profits an not providing enough jobs. Shame on the private sector!! Government can only do so much. Obama salvaged the auto industry, Salvaged the financial industry- time for industry to pitch in!

  The separation of rich from poor has been growing for decades also. It's not an Obama Created problem - It's a business created problem! Business are not paying their employees a just wage. Again business has failed our country!

  Hi Steve
  Anyone that thinks they can go up against the government with a gun or an assult weapon is a fool. No contest with the firepower that exists within the military.
  Better thinking along the lines of " The Pen is Mighter than the Sword"

  Hi Steve
  I hate to tell you but Obama won the election for a second time so there are a lot of us lost souls. I think you are in the minority!

  Hi Steve
  Speaking about controlling peoples lives - where do you stand on a woman's right to choose. How about equal pay for equal work? How about gay marraige. How about the right of people to organize into unions?
