Unlike you, I’m a moderate realist. Unbridled capitalism is as bad as unbridled communism in my opinion. I like Obama because he has a balanced approach. He’s going to raise taxes on the richards, but keep taxes about the same for those making less than $250K. You keep trying to mischaracterize Obama’s plan as communism when all it is really is a slight increase in tax burden on those who can best afford it.As for small businesses, those under a certain number of employees should be exempted from having to pay health benefits and complying with regulations that larger businesses have to comply with. It’s called ‘balance’ and it’s what makes American society work.

People making more than $100k can definitely afford it. So lets tax them too. They’re leeching off this great country on the back of us 85% who make less than $100k.How do you draw a line in how many employees. If a company have 1 employee too much, do you think that company will keep that one employee and pay for health benefits or do you think they’ll fire that one employee so they don’t have to? What if the company are over by 2, or 3, or 4 employees?

It sounds like you would be happiest in an anarcho-capitalist society. Anarcho-capitalism is capitalism in its purest form — with no rules or regulations to inhibit it.
Somalia is considered by many to be an anarcho-capitalist society. You should consider moving there so that you won’t have to be stifled by all the laws and regulations in America:

Journalist Kevin Sites, after a trip to anarchic Somalia, reported that “Somalia, though brutally poor, is a kind of libertarian’s dream. Free enterprise flourishes, and vigorous commercial competition is the only form of regulation. Somalia has some of the best telecommunications in Africa, with a handful of companies ready to wire home or office and provide crystal-clear service, including international long distance, for about $10 a month.”[17] Abdullahi Mohammed Hussein of Telecom Somalia stated that “the government post and telecoms company used to have a monopoly but after the regime was toppled, we were free to set up our own business”,[18] The World Bank reported in 2007 that only about 1.5% of the population had a telephone[14] resulting in the emergence of ten fiercely competitive telephone companies.[19] According to the CIA World Factbook, private telephone companies “offer service in most major cities” via wireless technology, charging “the lowest international rates on the continent”,[3] while The New York Times has noted the private provision of mail services.[2] The Economist cited the telephone industry in anarchic Somalia as “a vivid illustration of the way in which governments…can often be more of a hindrance than a help.”[20] Gaalkacyo, a desert town in the central Somalia, was provided with streetlights by local entrepreneur Abdirizak Osman, who expanded his enterprises from telecommunications to power generators, not only lighting the town but also supplying free electricity to the local hospital.[19] Since the fall of the government, dozens of private newspapers, radio and television stations mushroomed (Mogadishu has two fiercely competing TV stations[19]), with private radio stations or newspapers in almost all major towns.[/quote]

I bet you would love it there, AN. No rules, regs, or government to get in the way of your capitalist dreams.
