Classic.\"\"
\nOn the conference call for Wynn Resorts, CEO Steve Wynn went on a big rant on Occupy Wall Street, Obama, and deficits.<\/p>\n

Here are our notes in raw form. It’s all mostly paraphrased.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, he says: Deficits are killing us, our dollars are worthless, and the Democrats are bankrupting the country and vilifying anyone who’s successful. So naturally, people are protesting.<\/p>\n

———–<\/p>\n

It’s very interesting about the folks who are occupying Wall Street.<\/p>\n

That group is quite diverse.<\/p>\n

There are people in there who think the government should give them more just because they are alive.<\/p>\n

There are people who are opposing government spending.<\/p>\n

That group is not homogeneous.<\/p>\n

What you do have is anxiety and fear that is endemic in the United States of America… due to the government.<\/p>\n

I am watching my employees standard of living due to deficits.<\/p>\n

The public is making the connection between deficits and their standard of living.<\/p>\n

They’re seeing their wages go to 80 cent dollars to 70 cent dollars.<\/p>\n

I have not been able to keep up with the effect of deficits.<\/p>\n

You’re seeing that on Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n

You’re seeing it taken to the next level in Greece.<\/p>\n

People are trying to break into a parliament primarily controlled by the Unions.<\/p>\n

There comes a moment when the population realizes that it has to stop.<\/p>\n

Rich people are now being defined by the administration as people who make $1 million dollars<\/p>\n

Well, most of the businesses in America other than giant corporations are paying taxes under partnerships or S corporations.<\/p>\n

We have an administration that is fanning the fires that this is somehow undeserved profligate millionaires. It is worse than hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing if it’s kids.<\/p>\n

Americans are waking up; It’s taking the form of anger and dissatisfaction with the government. And I think that’s probably right.<\/p>\n

IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE.<\/p>\n

One side is right, and one side is wrong.<\/p>\n

You can not sustain these levels of deficits.<\/p>\n

The Democrats are bankrupting this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
