My wife works for a small family business that employed 55 workers.

Six were let go a few weeks back to get under 50. No news camera’s standing out on the curb. Nobody keeping count - just another 6 jobs gone.

We are being VERY selective about who we hire. Luckily I can veto. Vote for Obama? If so, they are too stupid to work for me.

On a happier note, I get to fire an employee on Christmas Eve day because she has gone over her sick and vaca time. Four write ups this year. Oh, and she tells everyone about her awesome Kwanzaa vacation coming up!

For several decades now employement law in Hawaii has mandated that employers provide health insurnace to employess who work over 20 hours / week.

The result? A lot of people work two or more part-time jobs (under 20 hrs/week) and have no health insurance. Been going on a long time

All they had to do was look at a real life case study ... right in Obama’s backyard.

Some of those small businesses should get creative.

Instead of one company that does a few things, put a wall up, divide the Co., two parts (two companies, Inc.).

One side of the wall does one thing, other side does the finish work.

For those that make $250K or a little over, cut back to $245K.

More than one way to skin a cat. (I really don't know that, but was told)lol

I hope the boss (quietly) targeted obastard supporters...

Actually these six - if they take all the goodies from Barak O'Clause might make more than they did working. And they get to sleep in.

Time for a new campaign, avoid employing liberals!

That is real “Social Justice”, I wonder how implementable it would be...?
