He’s a Democrat (why?), he was a supporter of Barack Obama in 2008, he adores Harry Reid, but he also tells the truth when the truth needs to be told.

Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts is a smart guy, he’s made a lot of money and is successful in the business world, that doesn’t happen if you’re an idiot, so I always wonder why these smart guys voted for Obama. They’re all surprised that Obama is at least a Socialist ramming Socialism down our throats as he relentlessly attacks business in this country. How can these people be so blind? I’ve known what Obama was about for years, it was no secret, he said what his goals were during the campaign. Single-payer Soviet style Socialized Medicine, wealth redistribution, the whole 9 yards and it was like 52% of the country was in denial, and now everyone is shocked? You people who voted for him are ultimately responsible for this mess. You put him in power. And that includes Steve Wynn.

When you read the following, keep in mind what Thomas Jefferson once said. “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

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. 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. But everybody is so political, so focused on holding their job for the next year that the discussion in Washington is nauseating.

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 Democrat businessman and Republican businessman, and I am a Democrat 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.

Hmmm. Yet another business leader, and a Democrat to boot using the term “Socialist” regarding Obama… more than once.
