So now the 1% gets revenge by laying off people.


 
****ers.... I suspected they'd pull this stunt. Then they want to blame Obama for it vs sucking up the costs out of their bonuses.

Voting for revenge was fine and dandy now you accuse other people of doing things for revenge and it's a bad thing?

1. Kind of self-defeating, though....


I don't know how many corporations have too many people sitting around getting paid to fill seats that don't generate revenue.

But you are a DUmmy so you have no clue that when the revenue that the employees bring is going to be lost there is no reason to keep them.

7. more horseshit from the dick

Armey. ACA will create jobs as millions more hc customers come on line

The same ACA that was supposed to bring down costs? The same ACA that was going to bring us all raises because of the lower costs?

12. They left out Hawker Beechcraft

That one hit here in central Arkansas the day after the election. Of course, the blame game started immediately on the news sites. A few level headed people were able to explain that it was going to happen anyway.

How is that possible? I thought that 0bama had given us the best recovery in history?

People are getting laid off because business owners are measuring their bottom line.
Welcome to the start of the depression you just voted for.

Revenge was a word uttered by their President.

Conservatives don't do revenge.  It's uncouth.

9. it will be more than just the 1 percent

Every mom and pop business will be letting go employees. The day after the election, my former employer let go 253. I do know that a majority of those let go voted for Obama too. Haven't been able to verify those that I don't know who they voted for.

I suspect that even more businesses will do the same....it will be just those who voted for Obama or have very strong relationship as being a democrat party member.

How long is this post going to stand?

The DUmmies are so well educated and intelligent that they couldn't figure out the quickest way for a business to save money is to lay off employees?   

For larger businesses, there are always things that can be done later, or someone that really wants a job will take on extra responsibility.

For small businesses, the owners that anyway work 14 hour days will simply work 16 hour days...or more.  You know, those "rich" "1%'ers" that make maybe $250,000 per year and are being slammed with extra taxes, extra healthcare costs, and ever increasing energy expenses.  My BIL and SIL own a small business, work their tails off 365 a year, and are desperately holding on, trying to stay afloat for 4 more years.  They say the last 4 years have been their toughest ever, and they are not holding out any hope for the next 4.  They are also one of the major employers in their tiny hometown, so the fact that they can't keep all of their employees is hurting everyone.  Needless to say, they live in a red state...

See this is our problem folks and we assumed too long it was dummies like these. When the consequences we said would happen, happen they still stick their head in the sand and prescribe to it their own flaws and behaviors rather then saying, you know, maybe I was wrong. This is the problem in general. I talked to my guy last night and I told him the problem is even if things go to shit, 50% of the public is STILL going to blame it on someone else. They will NEVER accept that maybe just maybe what they wanted won't work. That's why I've lost hope. They'll find some new boogeyman and at some point they will attempt to find the gumption to punish people with death if they even try to visit the inevitable consequences on them. Mark my words, idiots like these will hold your livelihood at gunpoint if that's all they have left; they will NEVER admit that they were wrong. For all their bullshit talk about slavery, they are perfectly happy and willing to enslave half the population to their own whims and desires. Lying ****ING HYPOCRITES!!!! And the ones that are left that are just not bright, I've made it a point to tell them this and ask them at what point are they uncomfortable confiscating other people's things? Are they comfortable punishing people by death for their belongings? I can see the discomfort in normal people's faces so I guess all you can do is challenge the remaining sane ones to think this out to the logical conclusions and push their own boundaries of what they know is right.

Since they voted for higher taxes on capital gains, starting in January, watch the BIG sell off in the stock market at the end of the year.

As those companies stock prices drop through the floor, so will their number of employees.

You voted for it, DUmmies....live with it.

Posts like these should come with the disclaimer that while this information was known before the election it was not released for fear it might 'skew' the results.  

In other words, you, the low information DUmmies of the world, have just experienced the real meaning of " the ends justify the means "  where the "end', reelecting Obie Wun, required the of withholding information about future employment, the 'means' by which voters would be uninformed of the potential consequences of their vote.  Simple stuff really.  

Face it DUmmies, you 'skewed' yourselves and progeny.  This summer you can send your 26 year old adult children to "Camp Obama" to relive those glorious days of the FDR work camp depression.  Gives new meaning to the term "work camper".  Next up, agrarian reform.  It take far fewer teachers to indoctrinate than educate which is why there will be plenty of them available to hoe, hoe, hoe.

Hi5!

My wife and I were talking about the won's re-election.  We pretty much decided to get out of Maryland before bam bam starts blaming white people as the reason the EBT checks won't buy enough food to last a week.

Yep, this is why I'm at the point of it really is us against them at some point(for the dumbasses who like to pull the race cared I see 'them' as any immoral part of the horde regardless of ethnicity who not only confiscates money from people but would say the despicable things to people just for being conservative--those people are dangerous since they've already dehumanized another human being). So all you can do is what we said in another thread, plan accordingly and enjoy the times with your family now as you do so. To me it seems like blood will be shed at some point and it's either going to be the losers like at DU or in the ghetto(no matter the race) holding a gun and looting your property and maybe even your family(little mob rape I'm sure will be perfectly acceptable by this immoral bunch) OR it's going to be good and decent people defending themselves and what's theirs alongside of other like-minded folks. I'm putting my efforts into my family and working on the only people I mentioned above that I think are moveable; the folks who really do care about the long term but just are caught up in this whirlwind and not thinking of the ultimate consequences and where confiscation of this order could lead them. I think we got a large segment in that 50 that are like that, but I don't think we can appeal to all of them before something crappy happens so I just hope to hopefully get through to the people I would like to see come out of this in one piece despite their twisted thinking at this point and bad judgement. The rest I could care less about.

My ex is even on the same page with me if it comes down to a division of territory thing. We are ready and will continue to get ready to flee the northern states to protect our children if need be.

On that note, really that would be the fairest thing wouldn't it? No bloodshed, just a division of assets like in a divorce and allow this deeply divided country to immigrate to whichever they would prefer. For me I'd prefer a standard's test for our side, but that probably wouldn't be my decision to make.  I have a feeling even if we could divide that all peacefully, just like an ex-wife who overspends her stipend of wealth, she'll be back for more and try to take it by force. We'd eventually have "Leechburg", "Moochville", "Chocolate City", Des-triot, and others looking over at our side envious and licking its chops to move in on us.

That started Wednesday.  I was on the phone with my financial advisor and we took some profits.

The news station that I watch had interviews with employees of defense contractors that expected to have no job security if Obama was elected for a second term.   

On top of the free pass Obama gave corporations on the "plant closing law" notification.

Many are unaware that the threshold for AMT has been greatly reduced for next year. This is going to be a big surprise when they get caught in that trap.

Watch what happens in 2013 as funds going into the Treasury decreases because of higher taxes and the number of small business  decreasing rather than increasing.

Lots of rents going up a minimum of 5% beginning January 1st due to the ObamaTaxCare Bill.

I can't wait for the wails of woe from the DUches.

I think so but what if magic mathless economics works? It will be great.

For lurking DUmbasses, I was in the USSR installing equipment in 1986 and 1988. It was not good. Think what Long Island is like now. Empty shelves in big store fronts, no gas, lines for staples, and little to no smiles. Look at the great job that Obama's FEMA is doing up there with out 7 feet of standing water. The response under the super genius has been far worse than the Bush team's response to Katrina. But it happened to Obama voters so I could give a crap. They are getting what they voted for. Could you imagine the shit storm if FEMA ran out of water 3 days later and put out an RFQ for water AFTER IT RAN OUT under Bush?

Love the Cliff.
EMBRACE the CLIFF!!

I know one primitive in particular who's going to incessantly whine about that.

It couldn't happen to a more-deserving primitive, though.
