Can’t wait to hear the liberals weigh on this. Probably they will say that this business owner is too greedy, wants to shut down because he won’t make enough profit now.
My impression ,is that liberals just don’t understand how business works, and the need to make a profit to stay in business. A business cannot stay in business long term if they are losing money month after month, year after year.
A business also cannot afford to just absorb increased costs put on them by government, such as mandates for healthcare, minimum wage levels, or any other government regulation. Costs imposes on business have to be paid by someone. That someone ultimately is the customer of the business.
But most businesses can’t just raise their prices 20% if their costs of doing business have jumped 20% due to government regulations.
Entire books have been written on these subjects, so not sure how clear this is in a few paragraphs above. But, I do think that liberals just don’t have any notion of how the business world works, and what it takes to stay in business.
It would be good for politicians, of both parties, to have spent some time in their lives running a business and meeting a payroll, before they get elected to high positions and start telling the rest of us how to live.
Can’t these damn capitalists be arrested for saying they went belly up on account of obozoCare?
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, or the power to establish a national minimum wage. Corrupt, constitutionally-clueless federal lawmakers are unthinkingly promising these things to low-information voters in order to remain in power imo.
10 employees...an additional $4000 for the employer to pay out.
These are outrageous costs for many businesses already struggling in a lousy economy.
Meanwhile the obamas spent a minimum $16 million for a Hawaiian vacation. One of 4 so far this year alone.
Crapcare kills the dollar store where his peepps and supporters shop, funny
Judging by the name, these businesses were Dollar Stores. Not much room to raise wages there and how much profit could there be in the first place. Now there will be a couple hundred more people out of work PLUS families who used to shop there to save money will be out of luck. Where I live we have Dollar Tree stores. I am not poor but you better believe I shop there for cleaning supplies, cards, wrapping paper, gift bags, laundry detergent, etc.
Dollar stores are hurting. Going in a Dollar store, the merchandise are smaller and some of the name brands are made overseas. I saw Colgate in a Dollar store, it was about 3 oz and made in Pakistan. Not sure about you, but I don’t want things made for my mouth made in a backward country.
