| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6850261 11/18/2012 07:43 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. Nope I'm all caught u on my taxes. Thanks for the assumption though. 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. i have no problem with you paying more with your money, and by the way, nothing is stopping you from donating all of your salary to the government, do it. i do have a problem with your government confiscating my money. i have a problem when i see how my money is wasted by a wasteful government and instead of putting the brakes on, moron like you say full speed ahead and re-elect a jerk. when i see a welfare queen spending my money as given to her by this idiot government, i don't hate her, i hate you for allowing her to exist as my dependent. I didn't like my money spent on unjust wars we were lied into. Suck it up you impotent troll. |

What these simple-minded creatures cannot understand, is what happens when the spigot is turned off. Foolish imbeciles have no idea of the depth and breadth of the the pain that will ultimately consume them. I don't and won't pity them. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2257547 11/18/2012 08:14 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. Actually, I own two. I'm getting below the magic number of employees to escape Obummercare. I would rather be smaller and profitable without dealing with the Govertnment than larger and less profitable while keeping DC happy. I'm not going to put myself in a position to deal with them. I'll remain smaller and do just fine. I'll pay less to government in sales tax and with fewer employees, less in social security as well - not to mention no Obummercare for my companies. Less in, but much less out. I win. Business owners can adjust. Employees will get the short end of Obummers plans. Sad. |

Sad day in America. You're either a liar, or a piece of crap. It's not Obama's fault you are laying off employees, it's your fault. A lot of people like you are taking convenient use of this time to lay people off and increase your profits. Then you can blame OBAMER for being a piece of human waste. Well, I'm not a liar - so one of us is clearly a piece of crap... It is absolutely Obummer's fault that I'm laying off employees - it is his health care law that has resulted in this decision! I'm getting smaller to avoid this law - it only applies to companies above a certain size. As of next Monday, I will no longer be above that size in either company. It makes perfect sense. These people would have had a job for as long as they wanted to work for me, if it were not for Obummercare. I'll make more money by choosing this route. That is why I put capital at risk and own businesses - to make money. Business always adapt to the situation. It's not my fault that Obummer created a situation that is more profitable to fire people. I never said Obummer was "clearly a piece of crap" - you did / but I bow to your wisdom… |

You would prefer that my companies can't make a profit and go out of business - which of course means ALL of the employees are out of work. Is that a better result? Seriously. |

Larger companies will reduce hours for as many as possible, to get under obamacare limit. In turn actually hiring more people to make up for the shortfall. Smaller business will downsize, but I reckon the smartet business owners will simply start another company and move over some employees. ie divide their business. This will have the effect of putting more people in work, and make statistics look nice. Even improving statistics for newly started business and so on. But the "boom" will be an illusion, because we are talking more people working but with much less pay. Less inclined to spend on anything unnecessary. The secondary effect will come after 3-6 months into 2013, when the boom in jobs fail to translate into a higher economic activity... ...and the realisation that things are, well, not as rosy, will probably set in by second half next year. |
