From American Dream to American Nightmare................from Rico

Drudge carried a headline today about the US destroying businesses faster than they can be created.

- Gee, who coulda guessed that the current regime that slid into power on the backs of fraudulent ACORN and Democratic (C) voter registrations and 'massaged' election voter counts, whose campaign offices routinely displayed Che Guevara posters while their Manchurian candidate spouted "wealth redistributon" and other Marxist tripe, would foster an environment that was anti-capitalist and hostile to business, especially free enterprise?

A perfect case in point is the Left Coast which has long blessed American politics with mensa-intellects like Pelosi, Waxman, Feinstein, Boxer, and...well, the list goes on longer than Tennyson's "Brook" so I'll stop here since you get the idea. Abusive government overreach has long been practiced in The People's Republic of California.

Tran, the founder of Sriracha, is a Vietnamese refugee and immigrant who turned a small business into a $60mn a year American Dream. He employs a lot of people and generates a lot of tax revenue. So what's the problem?

- The hostile business climate in California, and specifically in Irwindale where Sriracha is located, has turned Tran's American Dream into an American Nightmare.

Tran knows what it's like to be abused by a governent, especially a Communist government, and is considering moving his operation to another state, already having invited suitors (like Texas) to come visit him and talk.

I put Sriracha* on everything but ice cream. It has no equal and is unsurpassed.

- Only a dimwitted bunch of government "progressives" could think it worthwhile to punish success and kill jobs and tax revenue, but this is sadly a mental illness no longer confined to the Left Coast since it has spread from Washington, DC (District of Communists) and gone viral nationwide.

*Many of us who ate C-rations as teenagers were not only grateful for the complimentary mini-bottle of Tabasco that came with the rations because it could make even bad food (government combat rations) edible, but we became life-long fans of Tabasco. I still am, but the garlic-spicy 'Rooster' sauce called Sriracha takes good food and makes it even better.

- It tastes like....freedom. Taking something GOOD and making it BETTER is the American way, in contrast to taking BAD ideas and making them WORSE which is the "progressive" [read: Communist] way.
