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.”

Malkin had a story that the Obammie the Commie administration asked Lockheed-Martin to delay announcement of massive layoffs until after the election. Obammie and his Commies promised taxpayer funds if they did.
Now Boeing is announcing massive layoffs...back to 2010 levels.
Yesterday Draghi announced that the EU is in serious trouble.
The state-run media buried the Obama Ben Ghazi story.
Don’t try to tell me there is not a conspiracy going on to keep the communists/socialists (they are the same) in power.
You don’t need a back room filled with smoke.
You only need a group of people who have the same goal in enough positions of power that they have a monopoly.
That is in place.
From Twitter:
@realjonlovitz Friends who own businesses say they’re figuring out how many people they have to lay off. They can’t afford health care & stay open.
One of the replies:
@realjonlovitz tell them to try harder. Sacrifice is part of the game if you want to be a respectable business
Sacrifice for me but not for thee...
“Big lay offs coming in medical device.”
Yup, I work at one on the Mass North Shore. We’ll be accruing some $3+ million for the new tax in Jan.
We’ll be letting go a few R&D people I suspect. The are mainly Cambridge kids fresh out of engineering schools around here and I’m sure I don’t need to give you 3 guesses who they voted for.
Sweet irony.
Look, “David,” if you’re in the solar or renewable mumbo-jumbo business, you simply need to fill out some forms and an obama czar will be along with a grant.
If you’re producing oil or plastic widgets of some kind you might as well just pack up the whole building and move to Mexico. Obama doesn’t want you to succeed, economy be damned.
It’s poetic justice that most of the job losses coming will be from the very people who voted this nut in!!!
Job the vote. Woops, too late.
I have 3 full time plus two casual laborers. 2 full times are being let go and I’ll use the casuals as needed. Expansion has been cancelled.
My employer a private business has decide that we are shutting down by March 31, 2013. I am financially secure as are he and another senior executive. Over 60 people will lose their jobs. I feel for the Romney supporters in the group and we have agreed to do all we can to help cushion the blow and find jobs for them with other firms if possible. as for the Obama supporters they can just depend on Obama.
If true, there should be more of this. And I believe it is true.
very good! I fired 3 of my employees. Let the system fail, we have no other options anyway..
Yep. I told my husband last night, around February, it’s gonna hit the fan. By then, all seasonal Target, WalMart, Toys R Us, etc., retail workers will have no jobs.
We have been out to eat twice this week for various reasons and it has been stunning that we are literally the only people in the restaurant or one other family is there. We overheard the other family last night expressing their bewilderment and confusion about the election.
I call February to be a bleak, bad month.
It’s a damned shame that there isn’t a way to insure that only those who re-elected Emperor Zero are let go.
They are the bastards who have sowed the seeds of destruction - let them reap it.
How many of the 60 do you suspect are Obamabots?
I’m with you.
Make them suffer the consequences of their ideology.
Oh, they’re gonna get it - good and hard!
"That's my bag, baby!"
Good for him.He should have gotten rid of all 114 and closed his doors.
You just have to drop below 50, don’t you?
Layoffs coming for Caterpillar, Beechcraft, Supervalue is letting go at least 700. Military cuts are going to hit contract people very, very hard.
Discretionary spending will go way down due to Obomacare and higher taxes, so the service sector is going to take a huge hit as well. SEIU will be well rewarded for their democrat contributions - NOT.
"Hows that hope and change working out or you now?"
