Title: Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees
Post by: Travis Bickle on November 08, 2012, 07:11:20 AM
LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama's re-election.

"David" (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that "elections have consequences" and that "at the end of the day, I need to survive."

Here's an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to hear even more from this compelling conversation:

"I've done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe in the right to choose who they want to be president, but I did explain as a business owner that I have always put my employees first. I always made sure that when I went without a paycheck that made sure they were paid. And I explained that I always put them first and unfortunately I'm at a point where I'm being forced to have to worry about me and my family now and a business that I built from just me to 114 employees.

This makes me smile.  It'll happen thousands of times all over the country that you never hear of.  Elections/Decisions have consequences.

Thats pretty cold of you... It makes you smile that this person has to get rid of people, trim down his business to survive....

An obama supporter I presume.  Funny how you singled ME out but not the OP with the 2 thumbs up. 

You made your mess, now accept the consequences.  Maybe you can evolve to someone who understands that decisions have consequences.  I'll bet those Hispanic employees overwhelmingly voted for Obama too.

He'll do okay probably.  The Obama supporting employees will be living with the consequences of their decision.  Yup. Makes me smile

Elfie you misunderstood the sarcasm of his post.
It's the fact that libs voted for this mess, that they are now having to live with the consequences of their decisions.

I know where you're coming from, but this employer is only the first in a long list of those that will have to let people go and we all have to live with it, though it does carry a silver lining, in that in four years hopefully the libs will have awakened to the night mare they've created.

I've always known that I wouldn't get a good feeling from telling democrat/liberals, "I told you so", should Obama win another term.

I know you were being sarcastic Yawn, but there really is nothing to smile about. Along with people losing their jobs and getting downsized to part time employment, we are facing the single largest tax increase in history, come January.

I'm trying to keep a good attitude, but Romney/Ryan were our last, best chance to start correcting this mess. Romney won't be running again, and we've voted in a radical community agitator for another four years. We are guaranteed to have a deficit that is well over $20 trillion, 4 years from now. Gutting our military, manufacturing, and energy production will be priority #1.

I"ll admit it, I'm going through the stages of grief. In 4 years, the US landscape is going to be a broken and unrecognizable nightmare.

I feel bad for the BUSINESS OWNER. That's HIS life.  Other's have jobs when he's successful.  Those with the take mentality will find out what happens when they take from the golden goose.  The golden goose gets up and LEAVES.  No, I have NO sympathy for the Obama supporter. THEY destroyed my country with their greed and stupidity.

My "disappointment has evolved today to anger and bitterness. I don't have sympathy for the Obama supporter.  Until they are officially designated "retarded" or "mentally disabled" I will assume they know what they did.  Of course they don't.  Time for a little tough love.

His sarcasm has been a way of life for more then a handful of small business/mom and pop businesses Himself and I know that have gone down since the construction downfall.     I am one of those that have survived and God willing and a huge dose of I dont quit, I'll keep what I have....not go backwards....and maybe even claw back to where we were before it all began....

This fellow laid people off because of sour grapes and to make a statement.  I cannot believe that the necessity to lay off 22 out of 114 occurred in less than 24 hours, or that he thought that necessity would be fixed in less than 24 hours if Romney had won.  He's an asshole is what he is.  Or he had 22 too many to start with.

My apologies then.  I still feel NO sympathy for them. Only the business owner that invests his LIFE into his business.  The Obama voter not only destroys growth in current business, but they make it near impossible to start a NEW business that could hire them.

You hit the nail on the head.  About 95% of those who subscribe to Ayn Rand's theory of Objectivism won't get that tap on the shoulder, either.  They'll be down in the valley with great unwashed.

NOBODY disagrees with that.  The question is, as I've been asking, are Obama supporters mentally disabled?  And does that mean they're entitled to OUR stuff?

Hey pal, you've got most of it wrong.  There's a very rich employer in Vegas that supported and gave alot of money to the Romney campaign.  This is the man supposedly owning alot of property and places to work.  He also said that he would have to lay off some people because of the high prices he would have to pay towards their healthcare.  Said he had no choice and that he would have to lay off some workers if Obama got re-elected because of the price of healthcare.

And all of that occurred on November 7?  Give me a break.  Healthcare costs have been increasing faster than inflation for years, and the full impact of Obamacare is not known yet.  Nor is it known what that impact will be.  And he's already laying off because of it?  I know companies that once had stellar health care plans that have scaled way back, and a lot of that occurred before Obama was ever a candidate for president.

I've been in business a while myself.  Not at the level this guy has, but I know games when I see them.  And BS when I see that, too.

You're right again (IMHO).  HUGE tax hikes are destined for January. Soon after that, employers will have to make a decision about healthcare. They can either hire a PART-TIME workforce, lay off a number of employees to pay for their most necessary employees or drop healthcare and let the government/employee take care of their own.  And that was the plan all along to create a "single payer" system.

Yep, and since he is clueless as to how a free mkt economy functions, he does what Govt does best, tax!
Now with that in mind, we know he has two choices, tax the Hell out of people, or print/borrow money, both of which are negatives for the country.

But here's the problem, at what point will the world lose faith in the dollar?
Of course no one knows the answer, but it doesn't take a genius to see at some point our dollar will no longer be a safe investment, at which point hyper inflation will end our very way of life because the world moved to a better holding, be it gold or another economy, but they will dump us in a heart beat.

It's the rest of us that do the hiring and purchasing that will be most affected, about 80% of the country.

I sometimes use the "sarcastica font" (here I would call that "Comic Sans).

I will be clear.  Obama voters deserve the consequences of their actions (unless we can have them declared mentally disabled). They are DESTROYING business. Each small business is a man's/woman's LIFE.  Why should that Obama voter have a job at that man's expense?

So, I have noticed locally that a lot of layoffs of long time employees are being replaced by younger people.  These people can be hired for less money.  PERHAPS <~notice that is a big perhaps, this president/economy has actually benefited the young people that voted for him, at least a portion of them.  I know that a few of the places my husband applied to while laid off where hesitant to hire him because he had a family to take care of and they were offering an obscenely low rate of pay.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Republicans want Obama to fail.  Polls have suggested at almost half of Republicans actually want Obama's fiscal policies to drive the nation into a pit!

They'd rather see their country fail than a liberal save it.

"We love America!" my aching ass.

I just thought about this a bit, yes it was a 24 hour problem.  January signals the fall off the fiscal cliff.  I think this has to do with the fact that Obama has done nothing but tout higher taxes on the business owners/wealthy, if Romney has been "hired" the fiscal cliff (end of tax cuts and the sequestration) seems less scary, under O we have a fiscal cliff, but also a tax increase.  No way facing that that I wouldn't tighten my belt.

Wrong again Einstein, we just happen to know his ideas will not work and will in fact bankrupt this country. We have been trying to warn others who are not quite as bright as we are but have obviously failed, and sadly that is on us. Sometimes you warn a child not to touch the burner but they do it anyway and get burned, well, welcome to the stove Sci Fi Fan and others of kindred minds

Now with that in mind, we know he has two choices, tax the Hell out of people, or print/borrow money, both of which are negatives for the country.

But here's the problem, at what point will the world lose faith in the dollar?
Of course no one knows the answer, but it doesn't take a genius to see at some point our dollar will no longer be a safe investment, at which point hyper inflation will end our very way of life because the world moved to a better holding, be it gold or another economy, but they will dump us in a heart beat.

And that's^ exactly the type of low class thinking that's allowed Obama a second term. You LOVE the business owners, even when they're stealing our money by the truck loads, but you feel nothing for the hard workers that keep the businesses a float.  You hate the "gubment" and dont hold corporations accountable for their bad actions. It's sad. And, even worse, it allows for thievery. I hope you realize this one day. I hope you grow out of this mindset for your sake and the sake of others around you.

Elfie you misunderstood the sarcasm of his post.
It's the fact that libs voted for this mess, that they are now having to live with the consequences of their decisions.

I know where you're coming from, but this employer is only the first in a long list of those that will have to let people go and we all have to live with it, though it does carry a silver lining, in that in four years hopefully the libs will have awakened to the night mare they've created.
I seriously doubt they will. I think this is their dream. Prepare for massive government growth with stifling regulations and taxes. The lesson they will learn is the despised 1% won't be able to support their Utopian dream. I think we will see a massive corporate exodus, and employers forced financialy to let people go. I hope I'm wrong.

Wrong! There are degrees of failure.
Take Ca for example, it deserves to fail and I hope it does so we can fix the damage the left has done.
As to the US, we don't want it to fail, just Husein's crippling policies, which most likely will make things far worse.
If the country were to fail, there would be no saving it, no matter what we do, so no, we don't want it to fail.

If any policies can or will get America out of this mass, we should do our part to help. As we all should know some things take longer then we would like them too. I look at it this way.
