He's also NOT implying that his employees need to vote for Obama. He's just laying out the facts.
huh?

"If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company," he says in the nearly 1,400-word e-mail. "Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone."

The rich own this country.

Hopefully, people are starting to understand the occupy movement now.

Default Man who creates jobs, slams Obama

Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me" | RealClearPolitics


Quote:
WYNN: I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back.

Good for him speaking up. More should do so. Obama has no clue and has never created a job in his life let alone run anything. He doesnt have a clue about what it takes, nor does he have a clue about the economy as we sadly are finding out

True. Money talks. However; the movement would have been better served in focusing their movement on DC. The politicians are the ones that are supposed to represent ALL of the American people, and not just the ones who have all of the money.... crony capitalism.

Funny union make it very clear to their membership who they should vote for, but a man directly responsible for employing 7000 people is not allowed to say anything?

the real problem is that there are thousands of companies looking at things the same way, and I can't personally blame them.

Just about 2 weeks ago my uncle started selling off some of his companies equipment. He bought the company almost 30 years ago, when it was struggling to survive, and turned it into a profitable company that was producing enough money to pay his 70 or so employees very well while making him a millionaire. The problem is the idea of Obamacare taking full effect, and a raise in his taxes, have made him decide that it is no longer worth it. He can close down the company and sell/lease the property it owns, then go live in his condo that he bought 10 years ago in Mexico. Down there he will never have to worry about money again, and will still leave enough for his children and grandchildren to inherit enough to give them a head start in life. If he continues to run his company losing money like he has the past 3 years while having to give his employees more for their healthcare, and having to pay even more in taxes, he fears he will spend every dime he has trying to survive.

Do you mean by Obama creating nearly 5 million jobs and keeping his promise to get unemployment under 8%?

So essentially, you think the federal government should mandate a cap on what an entrepreneur can make in terms of profit?

Did I say that? No. CEO's are just cry babies.
