President Obama -- -- -- -- presidents don't create jobs as people like you that create the jobs which one of these proposals do you think will help to create jobs so Obama's plan or Boehner.
-- not what I think it's what's been proven time and time again.
Government has to get out of the way the only way we get jobs and get people back to work is that the private sector hires them.
You can't you can't pay your taxes being collected back in terms of unemployment.
A it just doesn't work -- Now that's why the president is pushing his -- -- tax credits for hiring people you get 4000 dollar -- -- To which Boehner says take if you get a 4000 dollar tax credit but your cost or regulations are -- costs and taxes are going up three or four times that second healthy hiring.
Absolutely in fact we've hired about a thousand people over the last three or four years and it at net net you've hired.
Until recent house actually we've built and restaurants and it takes us about a hundred people to one -- run when -- -- restaurants.
So -- that did this now you're actually creating jobs as a part of the two which I imagine the president would would hold you up as a poster child -- -- my plans are working.
-- -- is able hire a thousand people now now no not at all not at all I also sit on five boards to New York Stock Exchange company boards and I can tell you.
As a director.
That of of several New York Stock Exchange -- people are standing on the sidelines and waiting to get some direction from Washington.
-- -- -- -- -- That I feel what I perceive it as well as a small businessman that dead man and you know we have a bunch of -- ideologues.
And that are that are doing it by the book an unfortunate reality doesn't work from the but you never know what's coming next in the that's the scariest part that's who would want to make.
One of the boards -- sit in on is an oil services.
Oilfield services company who would want to buy a rig for fifty million dollars a hundred million dollars.
Thinking that Washington's gonna be very hot style thing that's going and that rig is going to sit somewhere.
Because one day they're saying that these guys are -- the next staters and we're friends these guys had.
I -- it's great that that sometimes they day cuddle up to business community but you never know if it's real or not we need to be fiscally.
Prudent simple review of the if -- got a credit card in.
And if you've used it up you've got to do one of two things right -- -- -- load your credit cards.
Or you be more prudent -- they want every low president says he's he's all for tax simplification everything but.
The bottom line is He wants the government to have more money I and ordered -- -- ideologues again ideologue again.
The government by giving that no no government any government Greece is a great model spends money prudently.
It's not their money.
And in order to spend -- needs to be your own money you have that -- -- -- I have this date -- you have to have skin in the game exactly -- -- made America great it's what we're all about but you can this is what scares me go about the balanced budget amendment and wanting and I'm for obviously balancing the budget on the other hand.
It may be an excuse for those who want to raise tax wanna give the government more money in order to balance -- budget we need more money.
And that's why we need to tax you guys even war well again it doesn't work time and time again that's been tried.
And it just doesn't work the only thing they can work is that government get -- the way.
And let the private sector start to hire that's gonna happen go up well it not with this administration I don't feel it I mean who knows and you know we'll see but.
I don't know that a leopard change -- -- quite so quickly regardless of what He says to get reelected.
The reality is we need some changes in Washington because the perception.
Of the businessman it's out there is it's a -- style Washington no matter what they say what they -- saying tangle apple metro.
