Home Depot Co-founder: Obamacare Will ‘Kill Off’ Small Business
Newsmax ^ | 4/11/2013 | Todd Beamon and Kathleen Walter

Posted on 04/11/2013 8:22:47 PM PDT by tobyhill

Retired Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus declared to Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview that “Obamacare is going to kill off small business.”

“If [employees] are thrown out of their medical plans now, where they’re covered in a good plan and thrown under the bus, they’re going to be destroyed,” Marcus said on Thursday. “If, in fact, they don’t stay as full-time employees but go to part-time employees, they’re going to be destroyed.

He talked to Newsmax at the Job Creators Alliance Free Enterprise Leadership Summit in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

“People have to understand that the villain is not their employer; the villain is the U.S. government,” Marcus added. “Obamacare is the capper. That’s the bullet to the temple.”

Marcus, who retired from Home Depot in 2002, established the Job Creators Alliance two years ago. The nonprofit group seeks to advocate for entrepreneurs and small-business owners.

[It’s about how the founder explains the opportunity to build something like this is not avaialble today thanks to Obama Care]

You mean the Obama Care that the homosexuals supported by HD will be getting their “infertility treatments” paid for by?

You could say “Goodbye” and find new friends who are on the same page with you.

Cutting out the deadwood from your life is healthy & opens you up to spend time with great new friends.

Those new friends will be more help when the revolution starts, also! When the bullets start flying, the deadwood will have a remarkable resemblance to a deer in the headlights.

Yes, that Obama Care - but I’ll type this very slowly so that you might comprehend: This guy is now retired from HD and has nothing to do with their current policies. He is talking about opportunity today. I am sorry your latent proclivities have your judgement clouded with obsession of irrelevancies.

The problem with health insurance is everyone wants to pay about $100 a month and receive about $500 a month in benefits of some sort. People are going to have to learn to pay for their trips to the doctor when they have the flu. They’re going to have to learn to pay for thier own infertility treatments. To pay for their own birth control etc. Health insurance should be for catastrophic events. Major medical expense. Health insurance should be used infrequent in a person’s life. If companies quit trying to insure everyone with a runny nose insurance would be cheaper for everyone.

>>Health insurance should be for catastrophic events.

Should be.

Instead it’s been perverted into a mechanism for redistributing reproductive resources toward the abomination of Nature, and the temporary avoidance of the consequential DUE PENALTIES thereof.

Stop yelling *Bingo!* in a crowded hall. It'll get you in a peck of trouble.

States run by Republican Governors need to be actively working to disenfranchise the parasite class.

There is no right to vote in the original Constitution, and no amendment passed so far (including the Poll Tax Amendment)would prohibit a state from disenfranchising anyone based on their receiving welfare or Public Assistance.

Pass a law and require everyone to re-register, then deny all the welfare cases, unemployed, food stampers, the whole lot.

Collapse is inevitable if the current electorate is allowed to continue to vote for marxists.

This is the only solution.

>>There is no right to vote in the original Constitution,

"We hold these truths to be self-evident - that all men are Created equal..."

Not in the Constitution (neither is what C. Edmund Wright's Tea Parrot said was there) - but it is a foundational element of American ideology and I don't believe that creating a mass of disenfranchised individuals for the communists to recruit from is the best way go about securing the inalienable rights of the governed.

Seems to me the "solution" is articulated in stone upon the walls of the Jefferson Memorial:



Each one FReep one.
