Economy can't thrive in the darkness of uncertainty

It takes no brains to see the environment we live in today is anti-business, anti=investment, anti-American.
First, there are all the unresolved issues:
Illegal immigration
National health care
A financially unsound Social Security
A federal threat to seize personal retirement savings.
Failure to initiate a self sustaining energy policy based solely on US energy resources.
A tax code that looks like Swiss Cheese with endless exemptions for the politically connected.
Unbalanced government spending leading to larger and larger deficits.
America's nationhood in the Post Cold War world.
How could anyone expect economic growth when there are so many unknowns, the most important of which is the wildness, the unrestrained power of the federal government. Nothing is safe, nothing clearly out of bounds Right now the safest place for your money is in your mattress, anywhere else, besides the normal business worries, there is the constant threat the federal government will seize it.
President Obama is dangerous because he seems hell bent on doing what he wants regardless of what the people want, regardless of what his actions will do to the nation. His personal hatred of America has been revealed and its not pretty.
Like a roller coaster ride that it is out of control people are holding on, praying that America will stay on the rails til the Obama ride is over.
But the even more desperate and scary thing is, after yesterday's election results, there are still millions and millions of Americans who don't get it. With all that has gone wrong, with all that President Obama has said and done, from denying the Christian character of the United States, to lying about tax increases for everyone...which will happen January when the Bush tax cuts lapse, still, tens of millions of Americans would elect Democrats who basically said, " We are gonna change you America, whether you want it or not. And, you won't know what we are doing 'til after we have done it."
In this environment, where you never really know what the next lunacy will be, can anyone really believe the economy will improve?

While we can make it as complicated as we choose, the answer is simple: Profits.
When companies profit, the economy will grow. When they don't the economy contracts.
Remove the barriers to improving profitability and watch things change.
Go to any business and ask them why they started. It is not to address any of the major issues that government has decided they must resolve through businesses. It is to earn a profit on their efforts based on the risks they were willing to undertake.
