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.”

Yesterday my boss asked me if I could head yet another committee. I fairly jumped at YES! Do I need more work? NO! Do I need a reason to keep me employed when the hidden ‘medical device manufacturer’s tax’ in Obamacare hits us for over 40 million? YES!
I like how you think....no wonder I’m gonna marry you!
Good! I hope more businesses prepare themselves the same way.
See my tagline.
No it won't. They'll end health benefits once the exchanges are in place. We won't have company provided health benefits anymore, we're all going on medicaid instead, like it or not. My lefty brother angrily insists that the GOP won in the healthcare issue because nobody has lost their compnay sponsored benefits yet. Oh, he doesn't say it that way, he says "Did you lose your benefits or your insurance? Did it change at all? See, the republicans won!" But he's wrong, it starts now.
They’re not going to get marginally better. The math simply doesn’t work that way.
And by "9%" you mean an actual rate of 20%-25%, no?
LOL — Good pic; thanks for posting it.
Not gonna happen. In conjunction with massive layoffs, we're heading into a major quake cycle. A HUGE one. Dec is suppose to bring in a 10+ somewhere. A 10+ will wipe out nations.
HAARP - November 7, 2012 - 12:30p EST
A 7.4 - 7.5 magnitude quake hit the Western North American Coast (Central America) this morning. This quake followed by a 4.5 in Utah signals the stress on the West Coast.

The owner of our company has already mentioned that any tax increase he pays, will be directly cut as a percentage of the profit sharing checks. Insurance provided by the company will no longer be offered next August.
The obamites are so smug in their victory.
How will that smugness taste in the non-employed line?
“Is it possible for a government outsider to rally and lead the country?”
Think outside the box. Attempting to rescue and restore what we once knew as the “United States of America” would be a Herculean task at minimum, rather like cleaning out the Augean Stables. The crap keeps building up faster than it can possibly be thrown out.
The more practical solution would be to declare the contiguous red states in the middle of the country, between the northeast corridor and the Left Coast, as a separate republic, much like the Confederacy seceded from the Union in 1860, but not for a narrow reason like retaining the right to determine whether citizens could own other human beings.
Amendment 10, the Bill of Rights, clearly states that all powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States, or to the people.
But what does the Constitution mean to these people anyway.
Right or wrong is not the issue, and whether it is even legal or illegal, is fast becoming a moot point. It has come down to whatever you can do and nobody tries to stop you.
Which will lead to loss of motivation, and production will be in shambles. There will be no reason to do well. Business will become as worthless as the government schools.
I am doing the same. I watch them get fat paychecks from city, municipal, and government jobs and retirement on MY DIME, and they tell ME I am a racist bigot. Screw them from now on, reap what you sow. When they come to me for help I am pointing them right to the government. No more help from me. They don't only steal my hard earned money with their socialistic policies but they steal something much for valuable and irreplaceable, my time.
It ended 11:30PM on Nov 6, 2012.
I like that guy. He bowls overhand.
Amen.
The time that I would have taken to help others; I’ll spend it on me and my family and friends. Need help? Ask Obama or Christie for a handout.
And watching the beast shrink will be a new hobby.
Agree with your post 100%. I wrote a little about it here for my own use...it’s a bit of a mess and grossly unfinished but there’s some information...

"Layoffs aren't Obama's fault, they're because of greedy corporations and rich CEOs."
You know that's how it's going to play.
