Folks, if you wanted to destroy this country could you come up with a better plan then the one Obama is gradually putting into effect?

I can’t. These traitors have had roughly a 100 years to plan and implement our downfall as a moral, productive, and educated society. I cannot think of anything they have so far failed to do to destroy this once great country.

If you can think of something they have failed to do or are not trying to do to bring us down, please let me know.

By the way, saying this guy does not understand business and has never had a real job might make someone believe that he is doing this thru ignorance, he is not. He knows very well what he is doing and ignorance is just cover.

NOBODY could be this stoopid, so I must conclude he is purely evil.

When I saw the title of this thread, I had to look at the link to see if it was one of those “semi-satire” articles. It’s getting so hard to tell these days.

“Businesses should accept lower profit margins,” says the president who has never spent so much as a single day in the private sector; has spent his entire life sucking away at the public teat; and evidently flunked Econ 101.

Yes. I was looking for good ol’ John Semmens’ siminews/semisatire handle on it. I can hardly wait to see his take on it.

How about if that $1.10 makes the company not profitable?

No that isn’t his main goal here, to destroy capitalism, his main goal here is to increase union wages, unions tie their wages to the minimum wage, increase that and you increase their wage too.

Obama: Close shop and we’ll take care of everyone so that they won’t have to be ‘locked’ to their jobs. They can be free to pursue their passions like writing Hip-Hop Poetry or creating films.

Isn’t there some tie in between the minimum wage and union wages? I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the union wage was calculated as being x% above the minimum wage. If this is the case, then not only will those earning the minimum be raised but so will most everyone else’s resulting in across the board increase in cost of goods and services and/or loss of profit for those who have invested so that item can be produced. No or to small a profit and no investment and production. Nice to have more money to spend but have nothing to spend it on!!
