Small Business Owners Unite!

[moonman]

As we all know, it is the small business owners who supply most of the jobs in America. John Kerry wants to raise the tax burden on these business entrepreneurs.

My suggestion is to find out which employees are 'pro-Kerry'. Let them know in no uncertain terms, that as business owners, we won't like being taxed in a way that directly affects our company's economic stability, future growth and new hires. Consequently, any employee who does support John Kerry for president, is seen as a traitor and enemy to our company and will be first in line for any future layoffs or pink slips. Your vote may decide not only the future of this company, but, YOUR future with this company.

Notice To Employees: Equal Opportunity Employer. Vote John Kerry. Get A Job From John Kerry

Fortunately everyone in my company is a rabid Bush supporter. If Kerry has his way, there will be no new hires, no bonuses, and possibly some pay cuts since part of their compensation package is based on profit. Nobody has had to tell any of them that, but they are well aware of the consequences.

I am not sure how it worked out that way, because it surely wasn't a litmus test for hiring. Everyone independently showed up about the same time with B/C stickers on their cars. One of them has already voted for Bush by taking advantage of the early voting.

Dear kcvl,

In principle, it's not illegal to discharge someone because you don't like his politics. If you employ people at-will, you may discharge them at any time for anything that doesn't violate specific laws like Title VII or the ADA, and doesn't violate "public policy" concerns, as spelled out by federal and state courts.

However, many employers have compromised their employment at-will status in various ways, or live in states where the courts and/or legislatures have narrowed the scope of action of the employer, and employers would do well to be cautious in firing folks for their political views.

Although I'm pretty much a broken-glass Republican, I wouldn't fire someone because he voted for Mr. Kerry.

Not only is LiveShot hurting small business with his bogus tax plan, he also plans on raising the minimum wage by some ungodly amount (I think he mentioned it in debate #2), which really kills small business because they carry thr burdon (percentage wise) of employees at minumum wage.

This is America, land of opportunity. Want a raise? Work your @ss off like the rest of us. Don't expect to stand in line for government handouts.

The more he raises the minimum wage, the less people want to work hard, which translates to less value added for small business. It kills us all around.

Who makes the minimum wage? Certainly nobody working for me. I can't even find high school kids working for the minimum wage. I can only recall one job in my 25 years out in the working world making minimum wage. They should call it the starting wage. Most of the people making this are uneducated, no work experience, nothing to offer the company they work for other than a body to fill some space.
