I would REALLY love to hear from one of those 22 former employees.

[aletier_v]

1. I say congratulations on creating 22 new Democrats!

[jenw2]

2. So typical of their kind

[brewens]

3. I seriously doubt that anyone who had 22 people that had been making money for him,

would try and save his business by ensuring he would make less money. He doesn't sound like a guy that had been allowing 22 people to hang on out of the goodness of his heart, and now can't do it any more because of Obamacare. I call bullshit!

4. ...and blame Obama for the slump in the economy

22 newly unemployed workers.

[Viking12]

5. Anonymous liar. Do you really believe some caller on RWNut Radio?

Would anyone with any business sense be carrying 20% extra workforce for no reason?

[SheilaT]

6. He says most of his employees are Hispanic

and won't say what his business is.

I wonder if he actually pays everyone the legal minimum wage.

[PD Turk]

7. The followup story I want to read is

Vegas business owner jumped in the dark and beaten sensless by a crowd of, oh, about 22 or so.

[efhmc]

8. Probably not real.

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. FAKE

[muntrv]

10. This sounds as believable as joe the plumber saying he was going to buy

a plumbing business.

[SubgeniusHasSlack]

11. More transparent republickcon prevarication.

republickconism is sociopathy.

[RagAss]

12. There's a bullshit story.

[k8conant]

15. The comments are totally bullshit too.

[lonestarnot]

13. He's making all the widgets all by his lonesome. I would have one of them if it were strung in gold

Good on his 22 workers. Now they can look for a job where they are appreciated and respected, hopefully a good union job!

[bhikkhu]

14. I'm sure he has competitors who will be happy to pick up the difference

...the thing is, if all these rabid wingnuts tank their own businesses out of rage and spite, two weeks later they will have been replaced in the markets by sane businesses. No problem.

[progressivebydesign]

16. pathetic asshole. Why did he go out of his way to say his employees were "hispanic?"

I hope they file some kind of lawsuit against him, but i have a feeling Nevada is a shit place for employees. I'm so used to bosses having to write you up and have a paper trail before firing you... That guy deserves to lose everything.

He's a fucking idiot if he hasn't noticed that the economy has improved leaps and bounds since Bush left, and that the Stock market doubled in that time. What a delusional Glen Beck lovin' jerkwad.

[TwilightGardener]

17. It's work and $$ to hire and train people.

I doubt this story.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. This smells, for all the world, like a "Joe The Plumber" type

Hate and bullshit.

[JI7]

19. and Joe The Plumber was going to buy a Business

[Barbara2423]

20. We should boycott his business.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Every poster at FreeRepublic is CEO of a small business and they all plan on doing the same thing.

Apparently, millions of moochers will be laid off!
