Another prick. He lays off over a thousand? What is this great American going to do, send his jobs to China? Another reason why we need a tariff. These Corporations cannot be allowed to blackmail America.

Actually, the business owners should all get together and lay off 10% of the workforce until the following happens:

1) All Bush tax cuts get extended permantly
2) Obamacare is totally repealed.

Business owners are by far the most important voice in America - not the liberal elite. If there are no jobs, America is destroyed.

Of course, business's opinion of regulations and taxes is critical. Much more important that Freddie Freeloader's vote to increase his benefits, or more laughably, to increase SOMEONE ELSE'S taxes.

That is such a rich argument made my Obama - I have a mandate to increase taxes on the rich, since I got 50% of the popular vote. Of course, 47% of the country that doesn't pay federal income taxes don't care if you raise taxes on successful people - it doesn't affect them!

Our country is well past the "tipping point" - where many more than the majority of citizens depend on the government to provide for them OR are employed by the government. Of course they aren't going to care about the country, or the debt, or unemployment - they are only going to care about who butters their bread. Same with union folks.

Business leaders are the only ones who have the power to stop the entitlement state. IF they stand up and say "Hell No!", we can return our country to one that allows everyone the chance to succeed, but not cater to people that do not have the work ethic to actually do so.

If we can bump the unemployment rate into the mid teens, maybe we can get someone to listen.

Business - it is clear that you want change from the last 4 years (and what appears to be another shitty 4 years). Business has the power to do it. Some already are taking the correct steps. Kudos to those companies who have the balls to take on Obama and his Chicago henchmen in the White House.

And of course Stryker wouldn't be laying off because of this, from the 2012 3rd quarter report:

"We expect market conditions to remain challenging in Europe and for capital equipment, and as a result we are lowering our earnings outlook for 2012 and 2013. This will ensure that Stryker makes the necessary investments to strengthen its position as a market leader while continuing to deliver leveraged earnings gains."

Nah....any layoff must be due to Obamacare, including the Stryker layoffs in 2009, 2010, 2011......

:facepalm:

Gee, I thought we had an election and the majority voted the guy out who wanted to do that.:nono:

Jeesh, StevieD, it was 50-48%. Basically a coin flip.

I'd love to see the breakdown of those 50% that voted for Obama. It was probably the entire 47% that don't pay taxes, plus either a few liberal elite or possibly non-whites that actually pay income tax.

Either way, I do think someone who pays the bills should have their vote count for more than somebody that lives off other people's money.

We are past the tipping point - too many people dependant on the government to have an election that deals with important issues.

I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, my dad always told me "as long as I'm paying the bills around here, I make the rules". Well, as long as I wanted to be able to eat and sleep under a roof, I had to agree with him. And it does make perfect sense.

Same thing here - if you are not part of the solution (paying federal income taxes to support our country), then you are part of the problem.

Many (not all obviously) Obama voters are part of the problem.

Obama's goal is to take down America piece by piece, I believe...this is the first step...he has 4 more years and doesn't have to worry about getting re elected this time :sadwave:

What we can hope for, Maggot, is that tough times sort things out, so that those who make nothing, create nothing, improve nothing, add value to nothing, contribute nothing get forced out of the economy.

Yes, Maggot-faggot, I'm talking about you, blood-sucking insurance salesman-leech :toast:


Saaaay, is the wifie still complaining that you can't earn a decent living? Watch out, she'll hook up with some union truck-driving dude who has a real job and can get up a decent stiffie. :mj07: :mj07:

Muff -

either upgrade the bifocals or brush up on the reading comprehension...

from the link:

Stryker Corporation made the decision to drastically cut their workforce in order to cope with the soon-to-be implemented 'medical device tax,' included in Obamacare.


There, I increased the font size to geriatric Reader's Digest font for you!

Nice work,ssd. You quote examiner.com, an unedited blogger site, and I quote a press release from Stryker themselves.



Hmmmm...who to believe, some anonymous turd blogger, or the president of the company?

You're rapidly challenging the Maggot for Most Ignorant.
