Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees
KXNT Las Vagas ^ | November 7, 2012 | N/A

Posted on 11/08/2012 6:12:59 AM PST by Freeport

LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election.

“David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that “at the end of the day, I need to survive.”

Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to hear even more from this compelling conversation: . . . I’m just one guy with 114 employees — well was 114 employees — watch what happens in the next six months. The Dow alone lost 314 points today. There’s a tsunami coming and if you didn’t think this election had consequences, just wait.”

We overheard the other family last night expressing their bewilderment and confusion about the election.

there’s no confusion, it was voter fraud. and the lsm is complict for not covering it.
one thing they forgot though, what goes around, comes around.
i wouldnt want to be chris matthews when it comes around

There is so much stupidity in that little tweet I didn’t even know where to begin. I would bet my house that person has never made a payroll.

I never include the military in that arena. They are a very separate and elite group of our greatest citizens. I also do not include civilian military contractors. Simple looking at the fat cats who add little to no value, you sir add a S%%%LOAD of value. :)

As a side note I just spent 4 days with the Blue Angels year end performance and filming for the Marines on Fat Albert. GREAT GREAT group.

“I put the blame for Obamacare with Obama.”

The last firewall to stop Obamacare was with the Supreme Court. John Roberts betrayed the country with his vote. It borders on treason IMO, or at least total abdication of his duty. He’s persona non grata in my book.

The US geological Survey has an Earthquake website. Pretty informative, it will be saved on my favorites.

Why did you even ping me in the first place?

I never mentioned Obamacare on this thread.

0bama was talking about creating a new cabinet position for some sort of Secretary of Business. We’re a darn sight closer than you might think. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/31/obama-secretary-of-business_n_2050000.html

Now that the election is over and we’re going to see a huge round of lay-offs...look for this new position to be created. 0bama doesn’t do well with critics...in fact he doesn’t listen to them at all.

Call me a mean SOB, but it kinda warmed my heart to read that.

Warms mine too, and I couldn't possibly give less of a F what the parasite looter scum think about it.

The last four years have all but wiped out my customer base of thirty years making.

I'm still as good at it as ever (custom furniture), but in this ecønømy my shop may as well have buggy whips on display.

I only hope to live long enough to see the evil welfare state crash and burn alive the mongrel scum who cheered and voted for it.

I am sticking by my prediction that says between 40,000 & 60,000 businesses will shut down because of Obamacare across the USA. Regardless of how many employees they have, they sill shut down.

Think of a product that is part of a chain—raw materials-processing of raw material-addition changes to raw material- more changes to same-finished goods at mfg level-goods at wholesale level- same goods at retail level.

Lose just one of those stops along the boulevard of production & you no longer have the end product!!!!

One thing—starry-eyed kids in college & under age 30 will be the ones who have to pay back Obama’s borrowing. I am over 70—won’t fall onto me.

They have voted for what will hit them in the near future.

You just have to drop below 50, don’t you?

Rest assured, that's a goal post that'll get moved down to 25 or less. Full time work has already been re-defined to 29 hours.

Is it possible for a government outsider to rally and lead the country?

Two words:

Augusto Pinochet

Maybe we have one somewhere.

Are you kidding? You have been here 6 years & you haven’t found that answer by now?

Find a copy of Atlas Shrugged and read it—then read it a 2nd time.

I like your style.
I own a hi-tech product development company. For over twenty five years, we get paid for our ability to think and produce.
The way I figure; if you voted for Obama, then you have declared that you lack critical thinking skills, and you have no interest in being rewarded for productivity.

I personally plan to do all I can to direct all my business to conservative companies, and to avoid as best I can giving any business to liberals. Liberals are a cancer on society, and the cancer needs to be starved.

If I read it over again, can I skip Galt’s speech this time. Please. I’m begging. I think I’m still reading it from the first time.
