>> God forbid you would dare challenge a liberal to defend his or her viewpoint. Ha. That's a sure recipe to get the subject changed.

Tony Rezko and his partners knew nothing about construction yet they became multi-million dollar developers of housing for the poor. Government contracts in exchange for political contributions. Thats how you succeed in Obama's America.

"CJ is just repeating himself. No way Joe the Plumber could ever hope to acquire a small business." And the Tenchu signature straw man strides out to do battle... I dunno what kind of fairyland you inhabit, but in the real world opportunities to make $250k or more a year take things like hard work or rich relatives. They just aren't laying around on the ground to be picked up like pebbles. A business that generates $250k in net profits has sales of in excess of $1 million, probably closer to $2 million. And probably has more than 10 employees, maybe a lot more depending on exactly what the business is. In other words, we aren't talking about a mom and pop. Look at it this way. Say you could buy such a business for $1 million. With a net income of $250k, you have a ROI of 25% per year. That just doesn't happen.
