    Yup, that's right. As long as class warfare rhetoric and authoritarian leftism rule in Washington, business owners in America, the job creators, are going to simply sit and stick their middle finger at liberals and not hire anyone unless they absolutely positively have to. Here is something else:

    So as you can see, even if liberals want to cry "get tough" Obama is not king and he has no ZERO power to force private companies to hire anyone, and the best part is the rhetoric coming out of the left...

    "Well fine, if you won't hire anyone we'll just punish you with the NLRB, The EPA, threats of taxation, and demonize you as evil people in our tightly controlled and loving media that will never tell the truth to the American People."

    I support the hiring strike, and I say to American Business owners don't hire another soul until this authoritarian left wing Government is out on it's ass and if it takes 6 more years to do it.. so be it.

    It's time liberal realized who really runs the country and holds the purse strings in this nation. Private Sector Businesses and they can ruin your life simply by not hiring you.

    American Business Owners, the Job Creators, on Strike. NO JOB FOR YOU. You wanted economic class warfare, well you got it. Enjoy living on food stamps and unemployment checks losers.

    I love the question most often asked by liberals in response to why Companies won't hire "Don't they realize they missing out on huge profits? Don't they see the opportunity here? All they have to do is HIRE people. If Government gives enough money to the People, then business will hire in order to meet demand!"

    No, they won't. Why? Because they hate you. They hate your stinkin filthy guts. They hate you, they hate your ideology, and they don't want or need you in their organization. I know my organization would never hire a whiny liberal, they'd last a week under the conditions.

    I'd say that pretty much the only working class people with jobs these days are Republicans, oh and that 2-3% of Democrat union miners, steel workers, electricians and longshoremen! LMAO..

    Losers without jobs, that's all Democrats are.

    Wow, seems like a read about this in a book, I wonder which book it was?

    As a small business owner, I only hire and let go based on necessity for production(or improper job related behavoir). It is incumbant on businesses to remain viable in order to provide jobs at all. I learned early on that you protect the busniess first over employees.

    Government policies will destroy enough jobs without a business engaging in political warfare.

    That is true, Obama has no power without Congress, so we (including those of us that did not vote for him or the Democrats) cannot blame Obama for the lack of jobs now.

    When the majority that voted for Obama realizes that the principle means of production can sit on wealth, and at any time in the future hold America hostage for political gain on any issue, such topics about "American Business Owners: We're on Strike and We're Not Hiring Anyone" can possibly be the shooting of themselves in the foot.

    The question is will the majority of people who voted for Obama assume that the answer is to give in to terrorists demands, and give them tax systems that continue to allow the terrorists to sit on wealth and hold jobs hostage for political gain anytime they choose, or will they at some point figure that we need a tax system that taxes wealth that is not working and have wealth redistributed to the unemployed potential entrepreneurs?

    As long as there is a theoretical tax system that would eat away at wealth that is not working to its highest and best use, you should consider this kind of revelation topic a potential shot in the wealthy foot.

    Obama is not king, but that will not stop Liberals. Before my father went to Oregon pulling a cross cut saw all day for the WPA then joined the army at 16 before Pearl Harbor and was instantly promoted to be a drill instructor because he did not flinch when punched in the stomach, he lived in a barn and worked behind a plow all day on the farm of former sharecropper family given the farm by the resettlement act, which used eminent domain to take and then redistribute. It was not done often, but it was done.

    "Executive Order 7027 Establishing the Resettlement Administration":

    "To the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of this Executive Order the Administrator is authorized to acquire, by purchase or by the power of eminent domain, any real property or any interest therein and improve, develop, grant, sell, lease (with · or 'without the privilege of purchasing), or otherwise dispose of any such property or interest therein."

    Do not assume the liberals are stupid and have no memory of history. Your worse nightmare is still waiting to happen if you frack with them too much.

    If you can hire people you had better fracking do it and win the debate on the merits, otherwise the liberals just might get back to their roots and remember all the other little tricks of their trade.

    I am the main hiring decision maker in my company. I would not call it a strike. I would call it an extreme caution. With the regulations, crony capitalism, lack of bank support, and other obstacle that have become prevailant during the Obama Administration, we DO NOT hire unless the work is completely backed up with revenue. We DO NOT speculate like we used to.

    I'd be happy to hire more employees if there was enough money being spent in my community that I could afford to. But there just isn't any more money to spend right now. You can advertise, provide great service and a brilliant product, but you can't squeeze blood out of a rock.

    Not even your dad? :worker: Or your son?

    Admit it, as human beings, we live for the sake of each other. The question is, on whose terms.

    It is, actually. But it feels wrong, somehow, cashing all these checks from your mom.

    LMAO

    Buddy I don't think you get it. I'm TRYING to stoke a left wing revolution. I want to see them in the streets trying to burn (*)(*)(*)(*) and especially my (*)(*)(*)(*).

    I'm tired of word games and pundits and outrageous slanders and insults in the Papers and on the news.

    I'm ready for WAR because it'll be the END of "Third Way" socialism in America. I WANT to see Tahrir square. So I can join the opposition on the other side of the barricades while the cops stand aside and lets just see who will rule America for the 21st Century.

    Of course an actual strike would resemble something like what you see in 'Atlas Shrugged'. A voluntary hiring freeze isn't really a strike. It's a reaction to the unpredictability of a market in the face of the growing statist controls and taxes that businesses are anticipating.

    Is that not simply another way of 'going Galt'? Until the government decides to stop 'helping' with ever more taxes and regulations, business simply stands still.

    Ok.... perhaps a bit of explaination. The above quote does not mean you are selfish... never share.... and you never help each other out. What the quote is referring to is that our lifes belong to us, and not to other people. As in I help those that I choose to help, because they are special to me, and I WANT to help them. But at the same time, others that I do not want to help for whatever reason, do not have a claim on my life, my time, or my property, merely for the fact that I have it... and they want it. I would recommend you read Atlas Shrugged... it is a really great read. Not because of the story... (it is not that entertaining), but the ideas behind it are what make it so powerfull.

    This quote was used in the story to indicate that the idea of taking what someone else has by force, is not an acceptable way of dealing with your fellow human beings. As in .... my purpose in life is to build the best life that I possibly can for myself. My purpose is not dictated to me by others. My society does not decide who I shall be... and what or whom I shall value... those decisions are mine.... and mine alone.... It is about the rise of individualism, and the demise of collectivism...

    My family went to Cici's for dinner tonight. Half the stores in the shopping mall are empty, places where businesses used to reside. Obama won't be happy until every mall and office building is completely empty.

    Actually... this is what I would like to see happen. The list of all of the OWS people become known. All their names are posted. And then all of the companies that they are protesting get together and put a lifetime ban on every doing any business with any of them for the rest of their lives.

    As in you want to protest Apple... OK... go ahead.... no iphone for you!!! :) Contrary to popular belief a company can choose not to do business with almost anyone. I do not think the OWS people fit into a protected group at this time...

    Imagine the irony of that..... protesting a company because you think what they are doing is unfair. Then the very same company chooses not to do business with you and will not sell you any of their products. And then they get upset because the very companies they are protesting will not sell them stuff.... Now THAT would be classic... :)

    You act as though you have a right to a job.

    You don't.

    This is not a far-out idea, it will happen.

    All the OWS people will put it all up on their facebook pages and when they try to get a job, they will not be hired.

    True. An interesting variation would be for businesses to intentionally cut production and income down to zero, cutting all profits and eliminating their tax burden. No profit, no taxes.

    I know of small business owners that intentionally limit their workload over a given year to ensure they stay below the top bracket or so. They just don't want to work for half pay. Seeing a corporation do so to eliminate their tax burden would be really interesting.

    The reason nobody is hiring is because nobody knows what Obama is going to do next. They don't know whether or not there will be a recession, more regulation, or what. They don't know, so they are preparing. They are unsure. In a country like America, where there usually isn't economic uncertainty, business owners are preparing. These record profits are being shoved into bank accounts for use later, if it needs to be used later. If business owners had a clear notion of what is coming next, they'd be much more willing to spend and invest.

    I know this because I have talked to commercial bankers (who look at company finances and so forth), and they all say the same thing.

    So, lemme see...if everyone just calms down, and accepts that you corporate tycoons are just meant to have it all, because it's "yours" in the first place, you tycoon types will hire and "give" us left wing complainers jobs? (so long as we don't want too much). That about right?

    Everybody should just bend over and accept your corporate version of the world, or you'll all take your marbles and go home.

    BYE!

    I think after 2012 we will be holding trials and showing video's of officials who spoke about overthrowing
    the US Government, we also have a lot of videos of organizers to hold trials on too.

    I do this myself. I reduce rent on my properties to cost or lower during the holidays. It reduces tax burden and brings happy return clients that pay on time.

    I have a couple of folks I deal with in banking. They say that the low interest rates are the biggest thing holding investment back. Banks don't want to lend for nothing and businesses know it. A good capital stream is priority one for most that made it through 2008.

    Everyone has known that your businesses can't hire for the last 3-4 years.

    They have no money. It's either all in China or clutched close to the breast by what remains of your economic sector.
