I get a little tired of hearing how much 'labor' costs. yes, it is an intial out lay of money, but all labor costs are written off corporate tax returns, in essence a no cost issue.
That being the case: if you are a company that needs monthly loans to make payroll…you are not doing something right…Take a salary hit yourself BossMan…oh yeah, unacceptable…

Businesses should lay off Obama supporters first. That's what I have done.

Those folks want economic warfare, I'll give it to them.
