Literally the first thing I thought--if you can afford to fire 22 people, it means you didn't actually need those 22 people. You don't keep people on payroll just to absorb your profits, just as you don't higher more people if there isn't the demand to hire them (hence why cutting taxes on "job creators" doesn't actually create jobs).



My guess was also construction, and he's probably already hiring illegal immigrants. He just doesn't need 'em so he's kicking them out, and then Blaming the president.

As I said before. I ran out of toilet-paper today, thanks Obama.
LOL..if they are illegal then he's working them off the books and they don't count

Why didn't this greedy business owner just go out back and pick some more money off the money tree we all know he has?

Better yet, why didn't he just go out and hire 22 more CONSERVATIVE HISPANICS, and pay them under the table?

Firing people now because of something that'll happen over a year from now, when the economy might be in considerably better shape? Has he borrowed Nate Silver's crystal ball?

I own a business and I actually plan on doing this too. I voted for Romney because I believe in job creation, and since he didn't win, I'm going to destroy jobs. It's the only rational way I can think of to further my party's agenda for job creation under this administration. In order to create jobs, we must first destroy them.

It was never going to get cancelled in the first place because the Dem's still controlled the Senate.

Your sense of humor is hilarious.

Or had you forgotten that health care premiums have already been rising for more than a year now, far more than usual, ever since Obamacare was passed?

As I said in another thread, all this is going to do is contribute to and grow the welfare state, in which we will all (including him) will have to pay for. He is adding more to the problem, not the solution.
