interestingly this man who has enough money to build a 90K square foot house sees himself as "putting every dime" back into the company and having NO MANOUVERING room.

relativity reigns eh?

and all the people who "just" work their hours (keeping his company going) and go home to enjoy life are to be afraid of losing those jobs if he has to pay another penny in taxes.

while the corporate tax rate is set to go down no matter who wins the election, and PERSONAL tax rates are on WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT OVER AFTER EXPENSES/DEDUCTIONS/CREDITS...

poor mr siegel apparently still fears the spectre of starvation and misery.

for some people there is never enough to fill the vacuum...

are you two saying that just because it is a free market it is fine for those best able to pay it forward to draw in their heads? you really think his business would go down if he took a couple million less profit yearly? profit being his take home after all is paid for...

of course it is his choice in a free market. but i wonder what he is going to do with his business when he has no employees to pay payroll for? i have seen this syndrome plenty of times. it doesn't make his profits any larger to cut people off. it just perpetuates the downward spiral.

and before anyone repeats that dog-eat-dog is "normal" please understand that i get that a lot of people think so.

that does not make this okay. these people have been making RECORD PROFITS under obama so who are they actually trying to kid? what is the point of all that money if it does nothing for anyone but throw the owners' weight around?

and again, i realize a lot of people think that dog-eat-dog is not only the way of things but "right and proper" but in the end it is SELF DEFEATING to think only of one's continuing growth.

but that was deemed too radical for the average american stomach. so a "compromise" was designed.

no one here probably understands the worth of being able to go to the doctor without stress on finances...or how very "worth it" the taxes are that cover such programs elsewhere. for PENNIES compared to your current healthcare costs, everyone can be covered.

So, you wanna talk about "blackmail"? Huh, do you...usual suspects?

These are your boys and girls, your comrades. You must be sooooo proud. Murder and riots in the streets of America if O'Bomber loses? Hello, hello, hello...Earth to O'Bomber supporters!

America isn't a banana republic and Americans don't respond well to threats. Get yourselves a major medical policy..which you're going to need and buckle your chin straps if you try this crap.

OK~

Let me simplify for all of you.

• How is it job creation when you threaten termination?

• How is it not blackmail when failure to comply results in a very costly vote?

• How is it not piracy of our democratic process when the citizenry are not allowed freedom of choice?

Murder and riots in the streets if O'Bomber is defeated at the polls...is a fine broth to be brought up Node?

Tell me Node, do you have the same reaction to labor unions..including teachers unions telling union members how to vote as you do to employers laying out possible consequences if O'Bomber is reelected?

If not Node...then why not.

One last question Node.

they are not your boss threatening you with the loss of your job if you vote for the wrong candidate..

nor are they much different from you, jwhop, who has repeatedly avowed you would have PERSONALLY PUT A BULLET IN HITLER if you had been around at the time, that it was ROUGH JUSTICE FOR THE DOCTOR who helped women who wanted/needed abortions, and who propagates the pathetic theory that being armed will "protect oneself" against the government and its arsenal...

pot kettle black anyone?

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE "RABBLE" - and i recall a texas judge threatening similar in the opposite scenario, if obama should win.

Have you ever heard of the federal law requiring employers to notify employees of plant closings and possible mass layoffs at least 60 days in advance...Node?

of course hannity has done no such thing, there's big bucks in whipping up the the fear quotient among those who follow the fox pundits.

Oh and just for your information, the economy is not "Brightening" for businesses or anyone else..except those who have their hands out for something from government...including some businesses on O'Bomber's most favored list.

But most certainly not for businesses in general it's not. Economic growth was slower in August 2012 than it was in August 2011 and it was slower in August 2011 than it was in August 2010. So, it's been anemic all along but it's sure not going in the right direction.

So much for the happy talk about businesses "seeing recovery in sight" katatonic.

Just hang in for a few more days Ami. I think Romney is going to win but we'll see.

the price of gas is directly linked to the decline of the dollar due to the actions of the FED, not the white house. THAT is still NOT holding back steady and increasing improvement.

meanwhile even the poorest american is better off than most people in the world. but we can't settle for less than the TIPPY TOP OF THE PIPPY POPS can we?

we have to have the most, eat the most, drink the most, and be the very mostest at all times or what? we might find out we aren't the chosen ones after all?
