Right now there is obviously very little incentive in the US to invest, which isn't surprising because the tax structure is so screwed up that somehow the Forbes 400 list gets off paying 17% taxes, while the rest of America pays around 30%.
and this won't change since the government is in the Forbes 400s back pocket.

So what kind of incentive is Obama supposed to give these people and corporations. They aren't investing now and they won't invest in the future until they have a puppet in office again. Right now all Obama has, is to try and give some impetus so small business gains some confidence. According to that article I linked, that's what he's doing or did you even read it before reacting.
