Conference Call
http://bit.ly/pwBZhq
Steve Wynn, the CEO of casino company Wynn Resorts, delivered this on
his company's quarterly conference call yesterday:
And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet
blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And
I can prove it and I could spend the next 3 hours giving you examples
of all of us in this market place that are frightened to death about
all the new regulations, our healthcare costs escalate, regulations
coming from left and right. A President that seems, that keeps using
that word redistribution. Well, my customers and the companies that
provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in
the United States of America, they are frightened of this
administration. And it makes you slow down and not invest your money.
Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America
You bet and until we change the tempo and the conversation from
Washington, it's not going to change. And those of us who have business
opportunities and the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the
President. And a lot of people don't want to say that. They'll say,
God, don't be attacking Obama. Well, this is Obama's deal and it's
Obama that's responsible for this fear in America.
The guy 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. And that's true of Democratic
businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic
businessman and I support Harry Reid. 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.
