Since Obama’s re-election: over 100,000 layoffs at more than 125 businesses (so far) | |
No More Lies User ID: 1707881  United States11/18/2012 05:03 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | my employees were told over a month ago that if O was reelected, there would be a 20% layoff and a 20% reduction in the salaries of the remaining workers. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2257547 They were told in advance so they could find another job to support their family. Although they have been trying, not a single person has left the company - BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A JOB. A week from Monday, i will be laying off the 20% - it is actually going to be about 23%. No reason to wait until January - might as well get it done now. Business owners will not feel the pain, they can adjust. Employees are the one's that Obama will hurt - they just don't know it yet. Although I didn't go this route, many of my business owner friends are only laying off Democrats. They are not yet a protected class.. Too bad - I'm firing some really good people. Sad day in America. I doubt you have a business and if you do, you are not fit to run it. shut up obamatard... Your messiah is a joke.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27954171 United States11/18/2012 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A nice handy list of companies to boycott I suppose. Those companies who refuse to pay their workers a livable wage and those who act out of spite are those who should not exist. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6850261 I bet you're one of those libtards who, like in Obummer's administration, never bitch about the bite of income taxes, yet are caught cheating on their IRS returns. Several people in Obummer's White House are known for being delinquent in paying to Uncle Sam. |

By my estimation 99% of GLP posters are 'business owners'. It needs to get called out. And if you have to lay people off as other businesses across the nation (like Chrysler) are expanding, then perhaps its not the fault of the president. Maybe the business just doesn't deserve to exist. Maybe it doesn't have economic merit. |

They were going down regardless of who got into office. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27971781 Bullshit.. I know people that were struggling and would have survived long enough until Romney was elected and helped them with taxes, EPA, and Obamacare. They threw their hands up in the air and bailed out after Obama was elected. You don't know shit about running a business, I can tell just by that stupid statement you made. you are a twat and certaintly dont anything about running a business . |

No one wants to fire up a new business with all these rules, regulation, fees and taxes. Thus the country will continue to die. And to top it all off he's weakening our defenses...... |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6850261 United States11/18/2012 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Elections have consequences. Alot of businesses were holding on hoping that asshole Obama would be leaving office. Since he's not, Atlas shrugs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27996939 Yes a lot of business men were holding out hope that their savior Romney would lurch into office bearing anti-union, anti-health, pro-tax-break gifts. America dodged a bullet. They chose right. |

My rates won't be going up any time soon. And if I ever find myself making 250k a year, I'll gladly pay a bit more. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27954171 Tell that to Obummer's head of the Treasury Department. We have a Secretary of the Treasury! The Senate voted in Tim Geithner, despite the New York Fed chief's failure to pay $34,000 in taxes. "An honest mistake," says the White House's top flack. Oh? Quoting: Yes, taxes are a pain and everyone hates the paperwork. And paying taxes is absurdly complicated for employees of the International Monetary Fund, where Geithner worked at the time of his tax problems, because the IMF does not withhold payroll taxes but its employees must still pay them. And the IMF pays them an additional allowance so they can make those payments. On which they also owe taxes. That's totally confusing, right? Anyone might screw it up. But Geithener, who has now paid his past-due tax bill, is not just anyone. We would be completely sympathetic to Geithner's claim that this was a goof because of the IMF's Byzantine payroll-tax status. Except that Geithner, when he worked at the Treasury Department in 1998, testified before Congress to explain the IMF's Byzantine payroll-tax status. |

I don't see how this relates in any way to what I said. This is one mans failure to fulfill his civic duties. This point is tenuous at best.

NewsBusters has the details: The same laughing at pink slips occurred Saturday on National Public Radio’s game show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Players were given a question after NPR newscaster Karl Kasell asked in a low growl “Where are you, you spongy yellow delicious bastards?” After a contestant answered that it was Hostess that shut down this week, Sagal started the wise cracks. “Hostess Incorpor [link to twitchy.com] |

With over 2,000 millionaires leaving the country every month, there will soon not be anyone with money to create any jobs. The Mexicans say they are coming to America to work....that is pure BS. If they were coming for jobs they would NOT have voted for O. This just proves they are just coming for the freebees..... You get what you vote for....so everyone just enjoy the freebees while they last...... We are going to sink lower than a 3rd world country... . . |
