Playdrive- You do not seem to understand the concept of free enterprise. A business has no responsibility to reduce unemployment rates. It is not their responsibility to reduce the deficit. Their only responsibility is to make as much money as possible. That is the point of a business. Otherwise it is a charity. If as a country we want to encourage business to hire, then we need to provide the incentives for them to do so. You cannot blame a business or a person who does what is in its own best interest (legally). Its our responsibility to make sure that it is in a businesses best interest to hire us.
I never said they had a responsibility to reduce unemployment rates or the deficit. Read again, wise one.
I said they share the responsibility for the rates being high, which is true. When you don't hire people when you can, you are partially responsible for unemployment contrary to the belief of many posters in this thread that Obama is solely responsible. Whether or not you have a responsibility to fix that is a subjective ethical concept that the public is free to comment on while simultaneously understanding the concept of free enterprise.
