Group with me earlier Scott McNealy is on -- is co-founder also big Romney backer joins -- right now but we're talking about what has -- -- -- started and it about it.
Yeah but tidal wave of laid of corporate types speaking out against the president make -- views known.
Up to now it is very -- maybe like you may be like -- -- -- spoken out in this regard but but now more and more are.
Because either they're fed up or they feel they have less to risk I don't know what it is what's going -- -- corporate America.
Well I I think -- now have you been in.
New York and gun due -- the shows are on a bad one called defending the cave man I think CEOs and small business owners are now defending.
The the wealth creators of him.
You know -- people who have wealth I agree with all -- chuck says but I also think it's.
A little bit of a national tragedy that.
His wealth which he does carry those four things with -- as well.
He he saves it which lowers the cost to capital so people can run businesses he -- -- so people can start new businesses.
He gives it away and he spends it all of which are good positive things.
The government taking it and spending it on pork and crony this and that and no Solyndra is him.
In the public sector unions and all of these other things I think are -- net negative to the society.
And -- taken away from somebody who knows exactly what to do -- -- and gives it away we also.
You know if you look at the small businesses where the jobs are being created.
One of the things we're doing.
There -- a there's a web site out there called -- small business dot com were small business owners are going up.
And basically signing the a petition saying this is what needs to happen to make some small businesses such successful that's where we're gonna get the job growth.
I just signed up today and and -- sign the petition and I encourage any small business owner or small business employee who wants to keep.
The momentum and the jobs that are are in that sector of of our economy to go to that site and sign up if it's it's it's we've got to.
We've got to get the word out there we got to defend.
You know what do you fear the most sense guide if if if Barack Obama were reelected.
Would -- here.
I fear that we become a public sector dominated economy.
And at that point my biggest fear down the road is.
When you don't have economic freedom and liberty you're gonna lose your personal liberties.
That's what I really worry about and win CEOs are afraid to talk out against the government because there's so much business is done through the public sector.
When people are are being told how -- -- soft drink to drink.
They're being told what health care they're allowed to get access to when you have state -- you know this wasn't about big bird it's about state sponsored media.
You know when you when you these are just all things that I grew up.
-- wondering.
We know why would anybody have that didn't happen to the world of freedoms.
And I think economic freedom is key to personal freedom and I don't agree with all of the social perspectives that the Republican Party has but I do agree that if we don't solve it and and limit the size -- government.
We -- I'm not gonna have the personal freedoms that that both sides of the -- Expect and deserve in this country.
Scott McNealy -- -- very well put thank you sir always good having.
