Las Vegas business owner fires 22 ‘mostly Hispanic’ employees over Obama win | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 25933684 11/08/2012 08:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The employe's free speech was shirts and voting O. Quoting: Still-n-biz-niss 25933684 The employer's free speech was: "You wanted Obamaconomy and you got Obamaconomy." I don't see the issue. All the the laid-off employees have to do is start their own company doing the same thing and employee themselves the same way their former employer did. Very simple. The employer didn't owe them a job. He's within his rights to run his company how he sees fit. And if he doesn't run it in a manner in which it's profitable EVERYONE will lose their job. Look at it this way.. he did what he had to do to SAVE about 95 jobs because otherwise he would have probably had to close. Libs should be grateful he'll still employee 95 of them and pay taxes on his profits to support other libs. He's helping libs.. thank him. He's free to fire anyone he wants. But when he decides to mouth off and mention race all bets are off. I don't see it as "mouthing off".. I see it as simply a contextual descriptive account of his workforce. He didn't say he fired the hispanic ones.. he just described his workers to put things in context. In one way of understanding the context, is that hispanics may have thought they were helping themselves by voting for Obama when in fact some of them were hurting themselves.. ..because Obabma's policies are not conducive to hiring and/or keeping a certain number of employees given the way they affect business conditions. It's a simple economic decision influenced by the employees who were laid off voted.. AND the owner TOLD them it would happen if Obama won because he knew how Obamacare would affect things. So, if the employees did vote for Obama then they had every indication ahead of time that an Obama win would cost some of them their job. Cause and effect. Vote and layoff. |

Total insanity .... ![]() hey, didn't anyone tell you the free ride is over and you have voted to become a state? lololol, i damn near fell out of my chair laughing, cause guess what, if you are a state you will also pay taxes like every other state. about time. "The United States provided Puerto Rico with $21.4 billion in aid and benefits in 2009, according to the Consolidated Federal Funds Report compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau. The total for 2010 likely will reach $25 billion, not counting about $4.4 billion in stimulus funding and $430 million in rum rebates that Puerto Rico annually receives from the U.S. Treasury. The amount that the U.S. spends on Puerto Rico will increase significantly over the next 20 years, probably hitting $35-40 billion. Though Puerto Ricans pay federal taxes on income generated outside of Puerto Rico, there’s still a more than $20 billion imbalance between the taxes they pay and the benefits they receive. Although some states receive more federal funds than they contribute, Puerto Rico’s per capita imbalance is far larger than any state’s."

Their vote for Obama was responsible for their own job loss. They shot themselves in their own foot.. which is going to happen to a lot of people when they also lose their jobs because a business closes or lays-off because of the increasing healthcare costs from Obamacare. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27278812 No he won't.. don't you get it? Obamacare is EXPENSIVE for businesses.. he had to lay the people off because he can't afford to keep them on. He's not going to hire anyone else. They'll be fortunate if he doesn't have to lay more people off. Please repeat after me: OBAMACARE COSTS BUSINESSES MONEY. And some of them WILL NOT be able to AFFORD it because they are BARELY surviving now in this economy. They HAVE to lay people off because they have no other choice.. except to close down completely. |

If there is no one left to tax or produce to take care of everyone else, we will be fine, we can all just sit around, bate, and watch "Ow my balls". It seems like Idiocracy was a prophecy, not a movie. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27314176 11/08/2012 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama's admin supports illegal immigration.. that's why they will NOT make the immigrants citizens, because it says in the Obamacare the illegal aliens are EXEMPT from paying into it. If the illegal is made legal both the illegal and employers will have to pay. Now it is that much cheaper to hire illegal aliens who do not have the Obamacare tax. |

Not much of a decision there now is there. Stan up for your Human Trafficing position as [ethical] or [moral] and or go to prison? Or Fire the Human Refuse? Hell, most Human Trafficing Malignants would feed the monkeys through a chipper, or Meat Grinder and make a few bucks for the Mulch. Insted the Psychopath chose the easy way, Fire Them. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27304459 11/09/2012 12:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... The same people who employ the illegal hispanics because they will work cheaper than people here legally are the ones who say close the borders. ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27162346 Isn't that interesting? They hire these people but they are willing to see the supply cut off by closing the borders1 They are willing to pay to support their principles, to pay more for labor if it's a result of rationalizing our immigration "policy". But as long as we're flooded with illegal workers and everyone including their competitors is hiring them, they will do the same. Abstaining while everyone else uses is a way to lose out to the competition. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 7570540 11/24/2012 03:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there always are ways to make the law work for you. Life is but a game. You do realize that is part of the reason sh*t is so expensive in this country... Do you know why your doctor bills are sooooo expensive? Why when you go to the doctor they give you tests that you don't even need? Because of frivolous lawsuits. I will give liberals credit for one thing....You all are really good at making sh*t really expensive. having a disability, I know my meds are much more than you spend a month. People like you, are the reason there are frivolous suits. You need to help those less fortunate. Oh, the "I have a disability" syndrome - I guess that means that you think everyone owes you a living w/o your having to lift a finger and if they don't satisfy you, you will figure a way to sue them. Time to pour some coffee on the floor and slip. Time to sue the pharmaceutical company for side effects of the meds you take for your "disability" - yea, that's it. I have a dislike for people who think like you do. If people don't want to help you "less fortunate" person, it's because they have your number. Who wants to get burned for trying to do a good deed? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22192805 11/24/2012 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Typical spoiled rotten Repub behavior - don't get your way so take it out on the little guys. Fire people who depend on their jobs for their livelihood because you're afraid the new tax rate wont allow you to purchase a second boat. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27162346 Go ahead, cut off your nose to spite your face. Fire people so that MORE of them apply for public assistance so that you are doing MORE of what you're bitching about - supporting people who can't support yourself. Then, as the government has to support more and more people and the nation becomes more socialist, and MORE people vote Democrat because voting Republican means that their kids will go hungry, you can bitch even louder that you perpetuated the cycle that you claim to deplore. OR, you could do the reasonable thing - suck it up like big kids, employe people and GROW your business, which will enable a larger segment of the population to earn enough money to pay what you consider 'fair taxes' as well as contribute to the economy, thus growing your business further and increasing your income. Of course, Republicans only SAY they care about growing the economy and that this is why they support the policies that they support. In reality, they care only about themselves and remaining at the top of society while everyone else lives lives of want and need. Trust me, this dude is going to get hit with a discrimination lawsuit and be out far more money than he ever would have had he not thrown a temper tantrum like the entitled, elitist Republican pig he so clearly is... You sound like a marxist, a self-entitled, holier than thou marxist, and to you I say go screw yourself Why the hell should I have to do anything to support anyone? I enjoy my business, it runs mostly on auto pilot these days, and I like paying some good people well however, if anyone comes to me and says it is my duty to support "the less fortunate", or any other grab for my wallet, I will head for the door If my business has made enough money I can retire, I will fire the people who are trying to hold me hostage, trying to force me to play their game, and then shut my business You greedy controlling idiots think you have the right to my business, to my profits, to the business it took me 20 years to build You think that I will just have to put up with your rules, your taxes, your regulations, and you want me to "suck it up" so you can stick it to me some more guess what I ain't playin Now take that and shove it where the sun don't shine bozo |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22192805 11/24/2012 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NO, the rest should quit and leave him holding the bag. See how well he does with no employes. Hell, I think anyone that makes less then 100k a year, should all pick a day to be sick, the same day, and let's see what "I built this all by myself" bunch does then. How much revenue do you think they could make all by themselves. I needed some part time workers for a large shipment coming into one of our warehouses a month back I put an ad in craigslist, offering $10/hr I had 100 messages and emails within an hour I don't think he'd have any trouble replacing the cranky workers so try holding someone else up |
