23% of business owners get no salary this year

[Dick Tuck]

Open up the 23rd worst cupcake project in a major city, and you don't know what you're doing.

YOU don't have the brains to drive much less own a truck. Astounding to me you even have a computer and know how to log on to it.

You ought to take a course on operations research. Perhaps you'd then know that it does take brains to optimize an operation. Perhaps you also ought to learn something about market research.

Perhaps I know what it takes and recognize political posturing.

IDIOT.

I'd speculate that your idea would be to reinvention of fried twinkies.

My business is up year on year. Not by much. But it is up. Hard work and sacrifice, people. The price we pay to be the decision makers. Quit your whining.

Your author wants us to live in a "christian" nation.

he wants to subject all of us NON christians to his religious beliefs.

No Christian wants to SUBJECT you to anything. You are invited to accept Jesus Chris as your savior, and all Christians will welcome you. If you refuse the invitation, there is no punishment, and most Christians will pray that you will see the light.

Since 2010, I have not received a salary from the company where I’m the president and have worked for 31 years. My business partner, who is vice-president, also does not receive a salary. In addition, we’ve had to lay off a few people. My wife was the first to be let go. Thankfully, we have other jobs. We’ve used some of the profits from our successful businesses to help with the financial shortfall of our struggling company. Here’s what a report by Citibank found

So maybe it's time for you and your partner to admit that you suck at business...

Why is your general suckiness Obama's fault?

I feel your pain.

I haven't given myself a raise since I first started paying myself and I didn't start paying myself until my project had been in place and operating for ten years.

Times are hard...hang in there.

 

[chikenwing]

Sounds to me like you have or had a poor business plan....

You mean like when a state or local agency, city council or school fails, their poor business plans are rewarded with infusions of more taxpayer funds.

You speak in generalities....do you have a specific state of local agency, cit council or school you are referring to?

God the list is huge,do some simple work on your own,hint start with ether NY or Ca.

Damn Joe. There you go again asking those hard questions.

However the same thought entered my head. This guy and his partner suck at their business but now find it convenient to blame Obama.

What happened to that vaunted Repub "personal responsibility."

Heres a clue Rehtugs. If your business failed or is struggling more than likely it is your fault. Cause you repubs say every day how guvmint can't do anything right or create jobs or anything. But somehow Obama is at fault cause you suck at business. On top of that. If your business had a miracle turnaround and you were making money hand over fist, would you give Obama credit? LMFAO. Fuk no you hypocrites wouldn't.

And to the lady who has a construction business. If you didn't or couldn't make money in Real estate during the go go Bush years, you really were in the wrong business. To bad Bush fuked the economy and housing markets. Maybe you should concentrate on building homes in the many many millions price range. Those folks are doing fine. Unless they don't want you as their builder.

I think we can all agree that business owners don't DESERVE a salary. They just let everyone else do all the work for them, and they drive to work on roads.

The problem with this thread is the same with every thread - no matter what it is, the idiot rw's think its Obama's fault. They conveniently forget that Obama has been responsible for tax cuts for individuals, families and small businesses. And, no way do they give him credit for the more than 4 million new jobs and several million saved jobs.

Nope. Instead, they voted for useless baggers and pubs who ran on the promise of jobs but have filibustered against any and all jobs bills.

As log as congress fights against recovery, not very much is gonna happen. If the rw's would learn the basics of their own government, they'd know that. But, don't hold your breath for that to happen cuz they're way too busy ignoring the FACTS about their own job killing candidate.

It boggles the mind.

Its been a long time since pubs took responsibility for themselves. Look at our SOCIALIST system that they are fighting so hard to keep. They want to be able to go to the ER and not have to pay for it. Tell them they have to pay for their own health care insurance and they whine and cry and stamp their little feet.

My own business went through lean years too but I never had to go without any salary at all. And, look at the mess Gramps has made for himself. Or on a bigger scale, look at the businesses like Sears or Pennys that are slowing going under.

In those cases, both were floundering before Obama took office but more to the point, before Amazon or Overstock dot Com. Has nothing at all to do with Obama but the pubs will blame him.

I wish the damn rw's would quit their damn whining and lying but its their nature. They want every thing given to them and if they don't get what they want, they blame Obama.

And, inevitably, they repeat the same old lies about him.

If Obama loses in November, we'll see a faster recovery. If he wins, this will be the status quo for the next 5-10 years.

And?

If you wanted job security what the fuck were you doing starting your own business?


Guess what - did you know that when you do start getting paid a salary again, Mitt Romney thinks you should be taxed at a higher rate than him?


Think the CEO's of major corporations took a big hit on their salary? Doubt it. I guess that's Obama's fault, too.

I love how the right wants us to think all businessmen make over 250k a year then want us to have sympathy when they go without pay for a year. Sorry, but if I made 250k/yr - I'd have enough stashed away to make it a year with no pay, easy.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Wait, they didnt get a money tree? I thought all businesses had a money tree and they can pay workers whatever they want and they dont because they're greedy SOBs, that's what these leftwing loons tell us anyway

No one has ever told you that. You're a liar.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

I really liked this... because it kind of says what I think personally about Obama:

He resents American exceptionalism. It doesn’t matter if he was born in Kenya or Hawaii. He’s not an American at heart.

Its not actually true, though. It doe hint that the author is a birther wackjob racist, though.
