"I haven't looked at Staples stock lately or what the compensation of the CEO is, but I suspect that they could well afford to treat their workers favorably and give them some basic financial security," he said.

The crux of the matter.

Barack Obama is America’s principle enemy.

ISIL nor Al Qaeda either one has injured the country like Obama has.

Bet he’d tax and regulate it out of business after requiring they give free drinks to immigrants coming to America.

Tyranny at work!

It’s not only Government contractors who can’t call BS on any administration hoax. It’s also private companies.

LGBT agenda
Obamacare
Global Warming
etc

What’s worse is they are penalized for not promoting and endorsing this agenda.

Have a couple friends at Staples. They work to supplement their SS income. They don't want 40 hours. And they're on Medicare.

Another friend is a farmer and works part time to keep busy in the winter. Has just a few hours in the summer.

He should join the real world....where kids want money for their expensive nike stuff....and where seniors will always work...because that's how they were taught and it supplements their SS...especially women.

This Muslim should decide whether it is health that he wants for his voters or just their financial security. AFAIK, PPACA (poo-poo Ca Ca) is supposed to be about staying healthy. What an asshat.

In an interview with a web-based news site called Buzzfeed...

I like IBD for their Market info and Editorials, but gotta take (small) issue with this. Buzzfeed is many things, but a "news site" is not one of them...

Vapid, leftist, low-information voter social commentaries on tangential news stories, maybe.

His wife could well afford to lose a hundred pounds from her backside, which is the size of Baltimore.

Just wait....

He is going to make an example of Staples. IRS audits, FTC investigations, the EPA will suddenly declare the land under all their stores to be protected wetlands....I don’t know what, but it’s coming.

The KING shall NOT be QUESTIONED!!!!

0bama is the poster boy of the lowered intellect that America has become at the hands of the left these last 50 years.

***Defending his proposal to increase sharply the capital gains tax, Obama claimed “there’s no evidence that would hurt the incentives of folks at Google or Microsoft or Uber not to invent what they invent or not to provide services they provide. It just means that instead of $20 billion, maybe they’ve got $18, right?”***
