Tell you what, why dont you call and ask his HR department if they can circulate a memo asking all the employees to MATCH 10% of the $$ the employer puts in to keep them employed, or even better, to take a pay cut to help absorb the cost of these goburment mandates that threaten thier jobs? \

WHY should he have to take even 1 dollar out of his pocket to keep a business he has already put everything he had into for 42 years just so the guberment man can redistribute his wealth?

You are not libertarian, your a liberal, just come clean about it and go join a Union and live off my taxes.
New taxes are not putting him out of business, they will cut into his profitability. I'm not saying he should redistribute his wealth. I'm not saying he should be forced to reduce his exorbitant income in order to save people's jobs; I'm saying it's the right thing to do. Unfortunately, people don't become gazillionaires by doing the right thing.

Do you understand how high unemployment is right now? Do you understand how competitive a job market that creates? Who stands to lose more: the guy who's been working the front desk of a hotel for the last 10 years, or the guy trying to decide how many elevators to put in his new mansion?
