Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees


 
Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees

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.”

“I’ve done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe in the right to choose who they want to be president, but I did explain as a business owner that I have always put my employees first. I always made sure that when I went without a paycheck that made sure they were paid. And I explained that I always put them first and unfortunately I’m at a point where I’m being forced to have to worry about me and my family now and a business that I built from just me to 114 employees. And I explained to them a month ago that if Obama gets in office that the regulations for Obamacare are gonna hurt our business, and I’m gonna have to make provisions to make sure I have enough money to cover the payroll taxes, the additional health care I’m gonna have to do, and I explained that to them and I said you do what you feel like in your heart you need to do, but I’m just letting you know as a warning this is things I have to think of as a business owner.

Of course the DUmmies bury their heads in the sand and say that it is not true and all the other expected responses.

19. I'd like to see a headline...

that reads...

Business Owner - "Obama won so I hired 22+ people"

Just to counteract this crap.

That will happen.  :rotf:

5. Like he'd ever have 22 people he didn't actually need to run his business on the payroll

Does he hire that many non-essential people he can easily just let go just to be nice?

Unions require that everywhere.

Your employer can dump you anytime they want. Unless you are union you are one minute away from your last paycheck if your boss decides it is so.
Without Obama Care you and your family are shit out of luck.

I think he just illustrated why the ACA is so important.

Wow just wow, so the bad policy of 0bamacare that will be causing employers to fire people is the same policy that will help them.

24. No law has changed from yesterday to today

His entire premise is garbage. He is right that the marginal cost per employee pay go up in the future (http://www.khi.org/news/2012/oct/08/new-report-aca-will-benefit-not-burden-most-employ/), but it didn't today so his current profitability has not changed. Faced with increased cost of employees in the future, he may elect to increase his prices, reduce his own profit, or a combination of both. If he increases his prices, he may see a lower demand and thus need to reduce his workforce.

Let me ask you this DUmmy, if a hurricane is coming your way do you stock up on essentials the day of the hurricane?
Oh wait I'm asking the DUmmies this, they wait until after the storm and beg FEMA for help.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Hey, DUmmie, ever given it the thought that if he was required to be unionized and furnish all those freebies they require that he would have never been able to start the business.

Only the really rich, those evil people you hate so much, are able to start a business from scratch with a millstone hung around their neck.

They truly are ignorant and uninformed.  No wonder our country is on the fiscal cliff.  California just passed two more tax increases in an already overtaxed state.  We have a 22 billion dollar deficit and over 500 billion in unfunded public pensions.  This tax increase is only going to cause more businesses to fold or exit as thousands already have. 

They are never going to "get it" until it all implodes and we are in a full blown depression.

They will never "get it". Ever. They'll just continue to blame Bush and the rich, just like in 1920s Russia where even despite dying from hunger, they still thought the kulaks (the rich, which was anyone that had even a little bit more than them) were the enemy, not their government.

Get used to seeing the following for the next four years, DUmbasses.  You wanted it, you got it...

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

True believing Communists pushed that line, and the poor "Kulaks" who were the farmers daring to be a little bit prosperous - and yes, they were hardly rich! - were instantly seen by the Communists as "enemies of the state."

Waves of deportations and executions started in the 1930's, and of course famines were chronic during that time, since the best farmers were now in Siberia about to die slowly or already dead.  To make matters worse, some of the food that was produced was sold on the international market by Stalin to pay for Western technology for new factories.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn estimated a total of 60 million perished before Stalin helped Hitler start World War II.  Some think that estimate was excessive, but I know that one historian accurately deduced that in the Ukraine alone 12 million were missing from the census by the early 1930's!

No idiot...he's now forced to fire those 22 employees...probably hourly workers...in order to have the money to afford the upcoming tax increases and implementation of Obamacare and not shut his business down completely.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Elections have consequences!

Just read this somewhere:

Quote
Layoffs coming for Caterpillar, Beechcraft, Supervalue is letting go at least 700. Military cuts are going to hit contract people very, very hard.
Discretionary spending will go way down due to Obomacare and higher taxes, so the service sector is going to take a huge hit as well. SEIU will be well rewarded for their democrat contributions - NOT.

One good question to ask at the start of interviewing someone for a job is, "what do you think the purpose of a business is?"  This way, you can easily weed out DUmmies and other assorted democraticks and fleas.  The answer is easy to you and me, but it apparently escapes the DUmmies' comprehension.  

What are some other good questions, that don't have legal issues?  I would certainly examine time gaps in the resume.  

BTW, I also do not rent my apartments to DUmmies.  No section 8, and I interview for personality defects.

If your business is large enough to put it in the ACA's fine territory and have no large surplus sitting around unused ( :rotf: ), adding insurance isn't really an option because the fine is still a lot cheaper than that, so you have a pretty clear choice between cutting everyone's wages by 2,000 a year or cutting loose enough people to either take you under the threshold or get rid of one minimum wage employee for every eight people you keep in order to pay the employer's fines on them.

Funny I remember when going to work for a company that offered you insurance was considered a benefit...one of those things you actually were offered as an incentive to go to work for them, it wasn't something that was mandated by the government that the employer had to provide.

WTH...business's want people to do a job and pay them for their work. Period.

Benefits were to attract better employees...

Businesses are doing this deliberately, to make Fearless Leader From Behind look bad!!!

Since I was writing about the Soviet Union and Stalin earlier, here is what the Communists called that: "Wrecking" and it was worth either 10 years in Siberia, where you were supposed to die slowly, or a direct execution.

Expect Fearless Leader From Behind to start blaming these companies for "putting profits above people". 

Remember that logic and evidence do not matter!  Companies do not need to make "millions and billions" anyway!!!  EVERYTHING should be non-profit! 

Like PBS and AMTRAK...and GM!   :-)

What are some other good questions, that don't have legal issues?  I would certainly examine time gaps in the resume.

I make sure to watch the window prior to their appointment time.  I want to see what they're driving, how clean it is, whether or not they are using their vehicle as a political statement, their actions as they leave their car, how they carry themselves, etc.  DUmmies, there are many things that go into interviews; it's more than just a resume and how you answer questions.    

Quote
BTW, I also do not rent my apartments to DUmmies.  No section 8, and I interview for personality defects.

Funny thing, I sold a house back in '05 in a former decent, working class neighborhood that slowly turned into a blue shithole.  A very nice older lady down the street had a loser, deadbeat son that was too "disabled" to work.  I would see him every now and again when he visited her, never once seeing an obvious disability that would prevent him from supporting himself. 

I never interacted with him until one day, while I was doing the pre sale prep work on the house, he decided to approach me.  He asked me if I was selling or renting (I told him selling) and asked if I would consider renting.  Now, this gangly little twit heard me say that I was selling (being articulate and easy to understand is a requirement in what I do) but obviously needed it spelled out.  So, when I turned to look at him, I figured out his particular brand of brain damage.  This goon was a DUmmie, period the end.  He was too skinny, socially awkward, his teeth looked like they hadn't been acquainted with a toothbrush in a good long while, was (I shit you not) wearing a "Proud Democrat" ballcap, and his underoos waste band that was sticking over his pants had jumping jackasses all the way around it.

I had been a member of CU for over a year and was well acquainted with "The DUmp", so I had to take a moment and humor this ****ing clown to see if "those people" really existed.  I told him that I had renters for 6 months and would never do it again.  No way, no how.  He said he would have no trouble paying (I had mentioned the former tenants didn't like to pay) since he was Section 8 eligible.  But I would have to install a ramp for his "handicapped" girlfriend.

Ladies and gentlemen, I laughed in his face.  I told him that I stood to sell the house for twice what I paid with no worries about someone else destroying it and that I was not a charitable organization.  I thanked him for his offer and said that, yes, I would indeed keep him in mind if I reconsidered.

No bouncy, just an encounter with a DUmmie that I had forgotten about until I read this post.

This Maoist explained that Steve understands the purpose of government is to hire more people.

That's not a popular view in Nebraska.

If the endorsement had received more press, the big guy's campaign would probably have been even less successful.

Pruning the fruit tree of ones labor, when a drought is in sight, will help that tree live and produce.
Failure to do so, may very well cause the death of that tree, and loss of all it produces.
Actions and inaction have their consequences.
The Vegas owner choose to prune. His tree may live.
You acted poorly, DUmmies. The consequences are all yours. You own it.

Re: Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees

They truly are ignorant and uninformed.  No wonder our country is on the fiscal cliff.  California just passed two more tax increases in an already overtaxed state.  We have a 22 billion dollar deficit and over 500 billion in unfunded public pensions.  This tax increase is only going to cause more businesses to fold or exit as thousands already have. 

They are never going to "get it" until it all implodes and we are in a full blown depression.

And to top that off Dori, here in San Jose, they just passed a proposition to raise the minimum wage in the city to $10 an hour. So, not only do we here in San Jose have to deal with the new tax increase from Prop 30, we're also going to see a raise in the cost of living due to employers having to raise their prices to cover the increases in wages that they are being forced to deal with.

As for the 22 employees that were fired in Las Vegas...I hope they were supporters of the Empty Suit and his sidekick Slo Joe the Gaffer. It'll serve them right for willingly sending this country down the crapper.
