Bush creates record high # of available locations for small businesses!
I have just driven back from Virginia's eastern shore through Annapolis, Baltimore and across Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, and we gotta give Bush's economic policies credit for the incredible number of small business locations available for rent, sale or lease. These opportunities stretch like a virtual chain across the American landscape. You name it - gas stations, convenience stores, movie theatres ( one screen, two screen,even 8 screen multiplexes!), auto supply stores, grocery stores, restaurants of all sizes, souvenir/beach supply shops, new and used car lots, barbershops, dry cleaners, upholstery/fabric shops, the list goes on and on! Yes indeed, America - each and every time the American dream goes belly up for small businessmen and women, yet another bargain property is available to all those top of the heap rich Americans who will start up new businesses with their tax breaks.

And all those super rich Americans are all going to plow their "Bush bucks" back into business enterprises in small towns across the USA, and NOT invest in stocks of international corporations shipping white collar jobs to India and manufacturing to China, so stop saying that!

SARCASM OFF!

For the wealthy elite. Their coffers are bursting forth at the seams.

4. And there's no end to opportunities for growing their wealth!
Consider, if you will, Bush's plans to privatize the operation of our national parks. Our park service is struggling with inadequate budgets to maintain, repair and staff these national treasures. So Bush's administration has funded a multimillion dollar study to determine if it would be a good thing to turn over these resources to private, profit-making entities. What kind of result do you expect from the "study"? Pro private business/anti government employees, of course. You know where private profits will come from, don't you? Spending as little as possible on maintenance and replacing trained park rangers/naturalists/ etc., with minimum wage employees with no benefits like insurance/pension. Things will deteriorate so quickly that THEN Bush will be demanding that we open up our forests and parklands to strip logging and strip mining to support the cost of the parks, which will no longer be beautiful enough to be worth visiting. Who says the GOP does not pay attention to the environment - they just aren't interested in sustaining it.

3. And don't forget
The record high number of highly qualified and motivated individuals seeking employment with these small businesses.

Republicans sure are good at creating opportunity.
