I like the idea because it is the truth.

[roberth]

If we the people allow the government to interfere with businesses to such a degree that businesses have to shut down then we the people are getting exactly what we deserve.

I wonder if John Galt has talked to him yet?

[pdr240]

Why shouldn't he pay himself first, isn't that reaping what he's sown?

He's provided opportunities for his emplyees, he's not obligated to take continue care of them.

It's fine to ride along on someone good fortune (being employed by them) but one should not expect more than the opportunity to work for them.

Let go of the shirtails and make your own success.

Took me a little time to write mine so you beat me to it.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this; whatever.

When you own a company, you decide how much you can afford to pay yourself from its profits. This guy is paying himself enough that he "has enough money for the rest of [his] life and enough to leave a good inheritance for [his] kids," has paid off his debts, including the note on the "largest new house in America," in which he is currently installing new elevators and marble, all of which he refers to as cutting back and being "lean and mean," but his poor, struggling little company will have to lay people off if he has to pay taxes, rather than reduce his salary or his profit margins. Is that the gist of it?

Fvck him. He's a scumbag.

He never says his company is "struggling."

Why is it that people whom produce a job for others are seen as scumbags? It goes back that mentality that says, "you didn't build that." Take a little time out of your life and read Atlas Shrugged, you will see that what is going on in this country is what is "fvck" up. It's not about not having enough to pay the extra taxes, is about being a slave to those that do not earn the money they get. Fuck them, I might go on strike too.

I think it's a scumbag move because he's going to fire these people tomorrow on the possibility that something might impact his business in the next 4 years.

It's bullshit fearmongering tactics that have no basis in our current reality.

Obviously never invested in a business of your own?

I have multiple ventures at the moment - and I agree with this guy. In one case, we will be forced to fire everyone and rehire them as independent contractors.

Many folks don't get it, as business owners, we try to project income/spending as far ahead as possible. If there is an impending risk that is beyond our control, we may decided to pull the plug early to save our investment.

If the business owner is set for life, why would he risk his money to maintain 'jobs' for you while taking all the risk??? Once the risk hit hit the point to outweigh the growth potential, most would rather pull their money and reinvest it else where.
