Hey I've a small business and I won't hire because to do so right NOW under Obama regime I'll have to spend a lot more then the revenue that employee will contribute!
A) Due to Obamacare
B) Due to EPA/OSHA further regulations
C) AND if I don't hire someone who wasn't employed I can be sued under Obama rules!
And that's the cost of hiring.
SO the advantage of NOT hiring someone today will to get rid of Obama who is anti-business, anti-capitalist and replace with someone who WANTS America to succeed!
A,B, and C are understandable.
However, when you put it terms like this it sounds like you can and need to hire someone however
you don't in act of protest. Which is awful, and will only alienate you and those like you from the rest of society.
'Scuse me? How in the world did you leap to this conclusion, if you accept the basic truth of A,B, & C? It's as if you believed 2+2=15!! An act of self-preservation isn't the same thing as an act of protest where I come from - and I've lived in a few places in this country.
Did you people not learn to evaluate what you read, hear, or see before you in a Google search box with a little skill called "critical thinking"? Or haven't you graduated yet?? So far, I'm completely unimpressed by the level of intelligent discussion of the issues (calling someone an idiot or evil is not discussion, btw) here.
I'd hear more intelligent observation from 3rd graders... REALLY people. Steve Jobs said it: THINK and THINK DIFFERENT - don't just parrot any old crap without asking yourself if it's a) true or b) makes any sense.
Small business (or any legitimate business of any size) doesn't make "promises" to hire people that they're not sure they can keep... and since it appears that the "invisible" costs of an employee are going to increase significantly in the near future... Sm. business owners simply are acting in the interest of the people they ALREADY PAY... so the company doesn't have to close and the business isn't able to pay any of them!!
It's not a protest - they're trying to stay in business and protect the people already working. I swear, I feel like I'm from another planet... and y'all only want to throw poison darts back & forth... when there's work to do figuring out what we can do, right where we work & live to survive these crazy times.
