Can’t wait to hear the liberals weigh on this. Probably they will say that this business owner is too greedy, wants to shut down because he won’t make enough profit now.
My impression ,is that liberals just don’t understand how business works, and the need to make a profit to stay in business. A business cannot stay in business long term if they are losing money month after month, year after year.
A business also cannot afford to just absorb increased costs put on them by government, such as mandates for healthcare, minimum wage levels, or any other government regulation. Costs imposes on business have to be paid by someone. That someone ultimately is the customer of the business.
But most businesses can’t just raise their prices 20% if their costs of doing business have jumped 20% due to government regulations.
Entire books have been written on these subjects, so not sure how clear this is in a few paragraphs above. But, I do think that liberals just don’t have any notion of how the business world works, and what it takes to stay in business.
It would be good for politicians, of both parties, to have spent some time in their lives running a business and meeting a payroll, before they get elected to high positions and start telling the rest of us how to live.
It is flat out criminal to impose job killing “laws” on our citizens. How dare they! These people, including everyone of the Supremes who did not rule this tax illegal, need some good prison time. Now too.
They have absolutely no clue. The thing with Drudge last week proves it to everybody. They simply didn't know that small business people have to start paying their 2014 "Individual Responsibility Payments" right now, and not next year. They have no idea people have to make quarterly estimations of their income and send in the withholding, and God save the businessman who underestimates the take.
Every liberal who said "Drudge is lying, the payment isn't due until next year" sent up rockets and flags declaring themselves to be idiots.
