I just have to ask some of you this question: Do you REALLY expect a clear thinking person with half a brain to believe that you're really a business owner?
I don't expect anything from you... I am not expanding, I said starting... employees will be there but they just won't be new hires... there are ways around it... and yes, I am can afford to hire someone with a generous benefit package but I am not going to... I am not to go hire someone and then Obama will claim it was because of him on TV... which he does on a regular basis...

make decisions under this type of leadership. This is an intentionally confusing and chaotic time. BO hates Capitalism and he knows what he is doing is creating maximum confusion and lack of confidence which creates an impossible climate for business. Businesses plan months in advance. They can't do this, now.
My business is doing very well, so am I in some sort of money making "Twilight Zone"?

No, these yahoos who keep complaining are either 1) not savvy business people to begin with or 2) waiting around for some of that corporate welfare care of the Grand Ole Party

Either way they are the ones who will lose out on the revenue by sitting on the sidelines. I for one will be happy to take the money from the customers that they are not chosing to serve because a "colored" man sits at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Yes, some of us are, but usually far less than far. I calculate Obama has cost me about $180,000 so far, but to be fair, he had Pelosi and Reid's help.

But be truthful. Inside you are glad things are like this, aren't you. You're glad business are failing, employees are losing their jobs
Oh yea...because none of us Liberal Progressives need jobs since we all have money trees in our backyards.

We want businesses to fail so that it increases Obama's chance of losing the election.

Yea, makes perfect sense.

Again, you own a business like i own a Ferrari.

Calipoppy, I never said mine isn't doing well, now did I?

I also didn't say that the others aren't "doing well." In fact, if they are as wise as I am then I know they are doing well because they are not hiring nor choosing to spend any more money than they have to. In fact, personally I've had an income increase. Why? How?

Because I think like folks that aren't expanding at this time. I have wisdom that has never failed me, and therefore everything I wrote in my last post is dang on-target.

Happy Thanksgiving!

You're not making any sense.

People hire employees because of increased workload...or to replace another employee.

If they don't hire people, it's because business is static. If they do hire, it's because it's fluid and growing.

No one with fluid, growing business can afford to NOT hire intentionally based on who is in the WH. It just doesn't happen, and it makes no sense. That's turning down business because your competitors WILL hire to take that business that you can only half-ass service properly.

Like we say in the D...."where dey do dat at?"

My business is making money, thank you very much. You speak as if you know what you speak of, but I doubt it. Many business in my industry are gone - closed. I rented a 2,500 SF warehouse about 4 months ago, and it is working out, but my business is shrinking.

It is obvious that you are so interested in name calling, that you didn't read what I said. I said I have gone from a 25% annual rate of growth, to a yearly shrinkage of about $60,000. Now that is not hurting me, per se, but the numbers are smaller. So, contrary to your childish remarks, I am working through it.

But thanks for putting on display what you really are, and really are NOT. Liberals always seem to show their true colors, given the opportunity, and I thank you for it.

Exclamation 'Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone'

'Company Policy: We are not hiring until Obama is gone'

I suspect a lot of companies feel the same way...
