Republicans are supposed to know something about business
There are two ways to reduce debt or increase profit.. You increase revenues and or cut expenses. Very rarely can you do just one without the other...Once you have cut expenses to the bone, you either increase revenues or go out of business. There are a couple of ways to increase revenues, you sell more stuff or you raise the price of your goods/service. Why would anyone that says they know about business not want to increase revenues as well as cutting expenses? Republicans either are never asked this question or avoid answering it if asked..It is BASIC Business....We need to increase revenues...plain and simple..

1. That's just it. They think that because they vote Republican they do know more than the rest of us
I've actually heard Stephen Baldwin say that.

It was perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I've also gone to school with a messload of the dumb fucks. All corporate show and no fucking substance.

2. I'm sure some of them do know something about business..
But you are assuming they might tell the truth, that is an entirely unwarranted assumption in my experience.

3. As a group all they know about business is how to scratch their backs.
They know nothing.

They simply spout propaganda the big business tells them to disseminate.

Unfortunately the same is true about the majority of Democrats.

5. But if you look at the majority of these R business people you will notice that they all
failed at running a business before they ran for public service jobs in congress. Why are failed business people giving opinions on things they failed at especially when they say they want to run government the same way they ran business? That drives me nuts, they failed at business but they can run the country?
