My wife works for a small family business that employed 55 workers.

Six were let go a few weeks back to get under 50. No news camera’s standing out on the curb. Nobody keeping count - just another 6 jobs gone.

Your vote was an act of economic suicide...

It was a vote of economic serial murder, at least second degree murder that is (Intent to do economic harm to half the country that pays taxes, with intent to wound but not kill, but winds up killing anyway by bleeding us, economically speaking, to death)

I suggest that those who get the axe should march on D.C. and protest the government intrusion that cost them their job, if they don’t do anything about it than frankly I am tired of fighting for their sorry butts.... I also suggest that business owners explain to their employees that the exact reason that they are being laid off is because of government taxation and overregulation, I would say also to be sure to thank an Obama voter for ensuring that you are on the unemployment line.... but of course as the unemployment sky rockets the average American won’t be told by the Liberal media complex and the government will continue with creative ways to fudge the numbers as labor participation drops at twice the rate of new hires.... As the unemployment checks run out and more people jump on the SSDI or Welfare roles that ultimately is unsustainable and will destroy the country... bottom line what we are watching is national suicide.

If one considers the purpose in the mind of a leftard....

there is X amount of work to do. I have Y people to do that work in 40 hours.

To your average leftard then they think that if you cut their hours by 25% then they will hire 25% more workers to do the same X amount of work.

When the reality is that their hours get cut 25%, the work X remains the same and the staff level remains the same. So the employer demands higher productivity.

Leftards never follow things through to their logical conclusion.

My greatest fear is that they would all slowly starve to death.

Oh, the horror.

Those King Obama voters are too ignorant to understand how Obamacare will kill millions of jobs and health care will be crap. And to those that might still have a full time job and the company has over 50 employees their paycheck will be much less. Obamacare forces a choice of laying off or cut pay .

I have empathy for all conservatives that voted for “love of country” and now suffer because of Obama and his democrats.

All others can eat worms.

-Support your country, hire a conservative.

-Do something for mankind, fire a lib today.

-Look for the union label, then buy something else.

Obozo and his minions in the media will simply decry “greedy capitalists”. Simple. Lie.

Multiple wammies coming....

* If they are over 26 or not students living w/ Mom and Dad, on their Health Care working this 28 hrs, they still have too...

* Buy Health Insurance.
* Or pay the Fine.
* Or do neither, get hurt, go to the Hospital and get the plan on the spot.
Oh yes, if they buy the plan it is with after tax dollars not before.

What a flippin mess...

A small privately owned drugstore where I shop is closing on Saturday, sold out to a big chain. I am sick about it.

Perhaps a unicorn will stop by and give them a ride to la-la land, where they can find some free magic mushrooms to help them ease their pain.
