If you make running a business more expensive you will descrease the number of sustainable businesses in the targeted jurisdiction and encourage businesses to leave for other areas where the environment is more economically friendly. Platt may be a political organizer but obviously has no understanding of business or economics.What's Really Going On...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16442528755010778392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-9291603505769833532017-03-19T16:03:51.382-04:002017-03-19T16:03:51.382-04:00His remarks were terrible.

One reason is that the GOP's leadership has consistently been able to convince voters to vote against their economic interests by focusing on divisive social wedge issues. So, while Democrats like Rep. Connolly may be putting on a brave face, it's clear that the party's catastrophic downfall since 2008 has been the product of the internal squabbling and poor communication with voters that's been plaguing it throughout the post-WW2 era. The GOP is still a relatively disciplined party and that should help it accommodate whatever difficulties President Trump is currently creating. In contrast, the Democrats remain as divided as ever. Since this is unlikely to change, it's time for Democrats to begin searching for a new political vehicle through which to salvage their agenda. Whether this occurs through a Tea Party style movement or a new party is immaterial. What relevant is that the Democrats have failed to reform their leadership and, as a result, are no longer a viable political option except in pockets of the nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-43085403836659675532017-03-19T12:56:34.123-04:002017-03-19T12:56:34.123-04:00I applaud the politicians who participated at Rep....I applaud the politicians who participated at Rep. Gerry Connolly’s annual St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser March 17 in Fairfax. They will have my support. They can clearly see the problems our nation is faced with. People who know about government and our system understand the magnitude of the ineptitude, graft, mismanagement and incompetence that clearly is taking place.<br />Meanwhile…<br />The village bunkins will always marvel and applaud “the Great Groper” who is the ringmaster in Putins blunder Circus. The apathetic and the ignorant now think they have to be consistent about their choice in the election. They will try to shout down reason. Their vote was based on notions not reason. Notions are easily manipulated as we have seen over and over. Vague and shallow notions mixed in with a little xenophobia and fear go along way for some people. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-29490477502129646042017-03-19T10:45:48.504-04:002017-03-19T10:45:48.504-04:00I had some hope that Trump would rise to the occas...I had some hope that Trump would rise to the occasion because some of his ideas to make America Great Again had promise. Instead he has sunk to new lows: Obama was wire tapping the Trump Tower! Really, not even the Republicans agree with this nonsense, and now his administration is blaming the Brits. He is such an ego maniac he cannot see the forest through the trees and spoiling every chance of implementing some of the initiatives that he promoted, such as re-buildig our infrastructure. <br /><br />He may not be the worst president yet but he is certainly mapping out that destiny. If he doesn't wise up, Trump himself will fulfill his greatest fear of being a loser that could manifest in the success of "Dump Trump."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-483876718266355092017-03-19T09:59:20.333-04:002017-03-19T09:59:20.333-04:00I'd say by any measure you can think of.I'd say by any measure you can think of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-75464491016470641962017-03-19T08:57:37.511-04:002017-03-19T08:57:37.511-04:00Great job Platt - You will fight for Women's R...Great job Platt - You will fight for Women's Reproductive health so you will not fight for the child to live but the mother to kill the child.

He is smart but unintelligent. For me, the nail om the coffin was his message on the Access Hollywood bus where showed how entitled he is and how little respect he has for women. For others is just every word out of his mouth. <br /><br />Yup, that's how we measure people, character. And we've had plenty of time to learn about his character.
