I just listened to another clip of President Obama bashing the true job creators in our country.
The way he is pushing his "jobs" agenda is, if you are a police officer, firemen, teacher construction worker or other union worker, this jobs act is going to put you to work. What about the other 89% of the country?
He talks of tax breaks for small business. He is offering a tax credit of $5,000 for hiring a new employee and keeping them on the job for a year. Let's see, I'm going to hire someone for say $60,000 a year plus pay their benefits which ends up to be more like $90,000 and I'm going to not have to pay taxes on $5,000 of my gross? Oh shit! Where can I sign up? Not to mention the fact, because of the economy being in the tank, I have no need to hire any employees at this time because he is planning on taking me to the cleaners in every other aspect of my business. His policies have made it all but impossible for me to get cheap energy because of the thousands of regulations they have imposed on energy concerns. None of which has gone through congress by the way.
No drilling here! We'll let the Russians drill off Cuba!
I know he is responsible for the protests in our cities by dividing this country between the haves and have nots. His policies are slowly turning us into a country where success is punished and the folks that are hurt the most are the folks that can afford it the least.
I own a company to provide for me and my family, not to hire other people. If my business is doing well enough to warrant hiring other American workers than that's just icing on the cake. It's not my responsibility to pay John's mortgage because his job moved overseas do to over tax and regulation. I am solely responsible for me. Get it?
My taxes, which I pay way too much of, go toward helping those, that through sickness or injury, can't work or can't make enough to get by.
I give freely to non-profit concerns such as my church who in turn help those less fortunate. This will no longer be a tax deduction for me and as a result, I will no longer be able to give freely.
His Obama Care has made it 15% more expensive to hire new employees because of new insurance regulation costs and most have yet to be implemented.
I can go on and on on why I am going out of business, but right now, I have to head down to Wall Street and join all the rest of the ill informed non-voting public and wait for my free money.

You need to get your facts straight and when you copy and paste at least use paragraphs where the original author placed them.
ReplyDeleteYou posted a lie about Obamacare and small business. Small businesses will get a tax break under obamacare. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/small_business/2012/07/nfib_is_wrong_on_obamacare_the_aca_should_actually_help_small_business.html
When you post right wing lies expect to be fact checked.
