| Last week, having read my own writing about how it’s cheaper to buy a house than rent one in most markets, I decided to take my own advice. My wife and I bought a new place, and instead of selling our old condo, we’re going to rent it out. And thus I became a small-business man. Or, rather, I’m becoming one. Entrepreneurship—even on the smallest and most banal scale—turns out to be a time-consuming pain in the you-know-what.

I thought Matty was their business correspondent. He´s surprised by this? We incorporated our family business back in the 80´s thank god. Too many young entrepreneurs won´t make the effort today because of the regulation and tax hassles. That´s before you even get to Obamacare and all the Federal morass.

Government will never ask ´How can we help?´
Government will always say ´You want to do WHAT?!?!?´

You won´t be surprised to find out Yglesias was a card carrying member of JournOlist.

I always get a kick when liberals enter the real world and find out their theories and beliefs consist of wind pudding, air cake and ground unicorn horns. What´s even more amazing is this whiny little man was Slate´s "business" beat reporter. It has become obvious what he actually knew about business could have been deposited up an ant´s rectum and would roll around like a pea in a boxcar.

FTA: Shifting as much form-filing as possible to the Web, where it can be accessed 24/7, wouldn’t undercut any legitimate regulatory purpose.
No, it wouldn´t, but it would take the place of a bureaucrat and we can´t have that now can we?

What he needs to understand is that if he files all these forms online, no political patronage job is required, no one is needed to sit lazily at the desk down the hall in the drab building in the bad neighborhood.

Classic case of the problem with this country and the Leftists/Liberal/Progressives...they do not know how to work...hard. If it cannot be handed to them, then it is just not worth it.

My mother was very liberal while my dad was conservative as he was part owner of the family business his dad started.
My mother got her first outside job while in her late 40´s in an office and noticed that some worked less then others while getting paid the same or more....
When my parents retire to Arizona they started 3 business´s. By the the time they were on their 3rd my mother was very conservative. She commented to me that the state was always getting in the way.

Awww...libtard Slate writer doesn´t like the end results of a big government--when it inconveniences him. Awww, he has to walk into a bad neighborhood (guns only for criminals, please!) and he has to do all this work on SHUDDER, his own time.
Suck it up libtard.

Way back when I started a business or two, only 5% of all new businesses doors where still open at the end of one year! I´m sure it´s less than that today! It´s just too big of a chance to take! To survive on a small margin, no way! To hit it big is one in a million!

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
