Who is John Galt?
so the businesses should do their firing/layoffs/closing NOW to avoid being forced to stay in business IF Mr O decides to whip out his pen and write yet another Executive Order just like this one.
There is a lot they can control on this earth, but they cannot control your soul. Every individual has a choice regarding their eternal future. Hope folks remember that in the terrible times ahead.
Blessings!

Burn.
