BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2012/oct/10/wynn-says-hes-afraid-build-las-vegas-because-obama/ Wynn says he’s afraid to build in Las Vegas because of Obama Wynn Resorts Ltd. CEO Steve Wynn says he’d like to partner with some friends to develop another megaresort on the Las Vegas Strip, but he hasn’t done so because of what he calls President Barack Obama’s anti-business attitude. In an interview with Las Vegas political journalist Jon Ralston on the “Ralston Reports” show this week, Wynn also expressed support for Mitt Romney while criticizing Democrats including Rep. Shelley Berkley and Sen. Harry Reid. “I’m afraid of the president. I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up with,” Wynn said. “Every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks.” Wynn said Obama, upon taking office in 2009, should have focused on job creation as the nation was mired in recession. “If you had a Top 10 list, No. 10 would have been health care,” Wynn said. “The only thing that was screaming toward the sky was jobs,” he said. “He turned his back on the No. 1 priority.” The casino executive said he voted for Obama but was later disappointed because he believes Obama violated pledges to reduce the federal deficit and to develop a comprehensive immigration policy.

Taylor703 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I happen to agree with a lot of what he says.. However he's a douche for saying it to his employees and in the manner he delivered it was unprofessional at best. This country has become WAAAY too worried about what other people have. I guess it's easier to demand someone else's wealth than make your own? Anyway that's probably for another thread I disagree completely. It has nothing to do with worrying about what other people have, I just don't understand why the middle and poor class should have to foot the bill for millionaires and billionaires? People should continue to struggle so these guys can play the victim, acting as if 75% of there year is not spent enjoying lavish vacations and silly spending sprees? If you refuse to stand up to them and act as if what they're doing is fine then don't complain when things go from bad to worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Really? the poor are helping to foot the bill for millionaires and billionaires? Wow.. it's common knowledge the poor do not contribute much in the way of taxes, they take from the system. Some legitimately need it, but to say they are footing the bill for anything is a ridiculous statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFromYellowstone Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Why do they never offer ANY specifics? All they talk about is Obama's anti-business socialist policies that are anti-growth, but they never say HOW any of what the Obama administration does has a negative impact on businesses. Does he hate the historically low tax rates for rich people like him? Does he hate the record corporate profits? Does he hate the fact that the stock market has doubled since 2009? Does he hate how the top 1% share of wealth has risen and risen lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I wonder why Wynn cares so much about immigration reform. Certainly illegal immigrants would be able to gamble their money away as easily as those legally in the country? They don't check citizenship at casinos; his pockets would still get lined.

Probably because he is a employer that has to deal with the reality of hiring and the laws governing it. same reason the uncertainty we get from Obama drives us buggy. business loves order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave them huge tax breaks to be job creators before and either they blew the money on booze/women, or are sitting on it still. Where are the jobs.

In it was a letter, dated Oct. 1, from Koch Industries president Dave Robertson implicitly warning that "many of our more than 50,000 U.S. employees and contractors may suffer the consequences" of voting for President Obama and other Democrats in the 2012 elections, a list of conservative candidates the company's political action committee endorses and a pair of editorials: one, by David Koch, supporting Mitt Romney, and the other, by Charles Koch, condemning Obama.
