The man who played a major role in revitalizing Las Vegas is bashing President Barack Obama as “the greatest wet blanket to business, progress and job creation in my lifetime.”
Speaking to investors on a Monday conference call, casino developer Steve Wynn - calling himself a “Democratic businessman” - went on an extended rant against Obama and his policies.
His customers and the companies he works with “are frightened of this administration,” he said, “and it makes you slow down and not invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America.”

“I support Harry Reid,” he said. “I support Democrats and Republicans. And I’m telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs.”
“I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I’m afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States,” he said. “You watch television and see what’s going on on this debt ceiling issue. And what I consider to be a total lack of leadership from the President and nothing’s going to get fixed until the President himself steps up and wrangles both parties in Congress.”
Obama, Wynn added, “keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest, their holding too much money. We haven’t heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody’s afraid of the government and there’s no need soft peddling it, it’s the truth. It is the truth.”
Oh FUCK OFF, you veneered orange bastard mobster.
Right, so let's put a psychodot, Bible-humping Jesus-eyed, homophobe fuck-up like Michele Bachmann in office. TRULY that's the better plan, to have some paranoid, whacksauce
Left Behind End-times disciple with her hand on the Button. :eyes:
And you pretty much admitted that Corporate America is indeed sabotaging American progress until you get everything and we have nothing. Gotcha. I give you that you at least have the courage to be
blatant about your shitbaggery instead of hiding it.
Again I ask these "frightened" people (why do they always use this same canned adjective?):
WHAT CHANGED???Wynn Resorts stock is up 63% for the year. Steve Wynn is a fucking billionaire; one who buys his plastic surgeons from Madam Tussauds from the looks of it, but still a billionaire. He manages some of the most expensive hotels in Vegas and elsewhere.
Obama hasn't raised one rich person's tax or cost him one PENNY in profit. The Health Care act hasn't even gone into effect yet and it's completely Big Insurer-Friendly. This environment couldn't be more business-friendly if someone name Bewsh was running it.
OOOOOohhhh, piddles. Your taxes return to Clinton-era levels (which isn't a hike, as much as you try to spin it). So you'll be merely 700 times richer than your average worker than 800 times richer. Cry me a grand fountain, you greasy shit.
What the hell is this guy talking about?
