Business Owner Fires 22 Employees: ‘Elections do have consequences’

CBS Las Vegas

“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.

“Well unfortunately, and most of my employees are Hispanic — I’m not gonna go into what kind of company I have, but I have mostly Hispanic employees — well unfortunately we know what happened and I can’t wait around anymore, I have to be proactive. I had to lay off 22 people today to make sure that my business is gonna thrive and I’m gonna be around for years to come. I have to build up that nest egg now for the taxes and regulations that are coming my way. Elections do have consequences, but so do choices. A choice you make every day has consequences and you know what, I’ve always put my employees first, but unfortunately today I have to put me and my family first, and you watch what’s gonna happen. I’m just one guy with 114 employees — well was 114 employees — watch what happens in the next six months. The Dow alone lost 314 points today. There’s a tsunami coming and if you didn’t think this election had consequences, just wait.”

We certainly don’t need this. But who am I to argue here? The man has a business and was responsible for the livelihood of 114 employees. If his bottom line is impacted, this owner will have to make some tough decisions. I assume by releasing 22 of his employees, the rest were guaranteed a job and the company survives.

    Whether the layoffs were done for legitimate reasons, or simply to make a statement, the result is exactly what Obama`s goal for America is. We are at a balance point and he now has four more years to add the weight of government dependent unemployed to the marxist/socialist side of the scale.
    I would guess that the fact the folks laid off were Hispanic will trigger a presidential public response – it will be a great opportunity for Obama to not only identify the employer for public ridicule, but it will be one more public appearance that he WON`T have to answer for the murders in Benghazi.
