She was told before voting that Obamcare would hurt him and his employees and yet she ignored it. If my husband deliberately and knowingly voted to harm a business I had spent years building up I would conclude (rightly)that he didn't care about me. Why stay married to someone who obviously doesn't care about you. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18028121 +1 it's as simple as that. |

She either was not interested or did not know what his goals were. "When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is doomed." … Ayn Rand "Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." -John Lennon “The lies the government and media tell are amplifications of the lies we tell ourselves. To stop being conned, stop conning yourself.” — James Wolcott |

An article in my local newspaper here in Australia reads "The US has elected the same guy to run the civilised world after the major parties spent $3 Billion to spin lies and counter-lies on television and use powerful adjectives to tell Americans how great they were. The re-election of B.O after such a long campaign was met with euphoria by about half the population for about 5 minutes. THEN THEY WENT BACK TO ATTACKING THE GOVERNMENT OVER DEBT, SPENDING AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM." Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!Half the population have memories like a sieve. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19782831 11/12/2012 07:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She has a job, she does hair/manicures but she pretty much took that up for the social part of it. She only makes about $30K a year herself and pretty much was happy to live off her husband. That's why I can't understand why she voted in a manner that would hurt her husband's business, even if her one vote didn't affect the outcome. By the way, he's not the kind if guy to demand she do anything. He's angry because he knew that SHE knew how Obamacare would hurt the company, which would not only hurt him and her, but his workers. He's really upset about having to cut people, but he has no choice. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14898437 My guess is she deep down wanted to hurt her husband.... She probably is getting dicked at work by her boss... Think I'm joking??? No I'm not... |

| MarkinAZ User ID: 20006444 11/12/2012 07:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All of these small business that are bitching about the cost of Obama care should take a long hard look at their own cheapness toward their employees. If they stay in business by denying basic health coverage to most or all of their employees - while of course providing it to themselves and their families - then maybe they should not be in business. Seriously, if the ONLY way you can make it is to force other to suffer and do without - then maybe you should think about what's wrong with your fundamental business model.Most of these businesses that are screaming about the cost of Obama Care are those who've had the owners milking the place dry for years and refusing to meet the market with health coverage for their staff to safe money which of course they put into their own pockets. Ever notice how the owner and his wife always have nice pricey new cars? Or their kids are in private schools. Yet they ask their employees to work less than 30 hours per weeks o they won't have to provide health insurance for them? Your sister is well lucky to be rid of this bastard! And she should get a good lawyer and make sure she keeps half of the business. She sounds like she's earned it putting up with him! |

I'm still laughing at this story - has Obamacare exposed all the of so-called "business owners" that don't have a CLUE how to run a business? 1)That's 67,500 out of his pocket, not out of thin air. 2)In the current manufacturing environment in the US, 2-3% is a great profit. 3)Loopholes are being closed to eliminate many such deductions/credits thanks to the government. 4)Here's where you really show your ignorance of manufacturing in this country...prices are indeed going up. The issue everyone faces is customers demanding suppliers drive down costs every single year-5% or more. As an owner you have to make more capital investment in faster machines but since your bottom line is only 3%, you need a loan except the banks aren't loaning money unless you're a minority buying more house than you can afford.So you re-level your workload among fewer workers in order to get the product out the door and keep paying the bills. 5) He never said he's going out of business, just that he had to make adjustments to stay in business. Why don't you go and ask the people that are keeping their jobs there if he's an idiot business owner or if maybe they think he's providing them with employment so they can pay mortgages and buy food. 6 & 7) You voted for Obama. From the sounds of it, he has several clues on how to adapt his business to current conditions and is doing what's necessary to keep the majority of his employees working...exactly the kind of guy a liberal really hates. Why should he as a business owner make any money, right? |
