Now question for you: do you really think the GOP is going to vote for anything that makes things harder on US businesses?

Probably not. In fact I hope for the opposite..

Without businesses, there are no jobs. Without jobs, there is no economy. Without an economy, there is no civilization.

IMO, both major parties are out to confiscate most all the eggs from the golden goose (i.e. productive private sector businesses, workers and taxpayers), in order to dole them out to their favored constituents. If there is any difference between them, it's that at least some members of the GOP seem to realize, unlike most of the Dems, that a dead goose no longer lays any eggs.

The economy is dead in the water, in large part, because the golden goose is too busy worrying when the next "boot on the neck" will be coming down, whether it's more stifling regulations or confiscatory taxation or some other form of statist government stupidity.
