EAST CARBON, Carbon County A Utah coal company owned by a vocal critic of President Barack Obama has laid off 102 miners. The layoffs at the West Ridge Mine are effective immediately, according to UtahAmerican Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corp. They were announced in a short statement made public Thursday, two days after Obama won re-election. The layoffs are necessary because of the president's "war on coal," the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down "204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014" and for drastically reducing the market for coal.

Soon the socialists will punish business for laying people off.
May their cases come up before a Independent Payment Advisory Board someday soon.
Alas my guess is they're retired teachers or some other retired public employee who won't be subject to Obama's health care monstrosity so they'll just have to wait until they shuffle off this mortal coil for what they have coming.
Given the way the majority of them were raised and educated, I suspect they will be happy to sit on their butts playing video games, living off mom and dad or our taxes, for the rest of their lives.
I just hope they take advantage of Obamacare contraceptives because the last thing we need is them raising kids.
Oh yes they will. Wait for it.
Imagine their surprise. Poor dears.
May their passing be slow and painful.
I kow many Obama backers, and will happily shove the election in their faces the second they start bitching about layoffs.
