praise and worship Obama....here is a bit of information for you.
My husband runs a business and associations with a lot of business owners. They are all talking about who they can afford to let go. They are worried about Obama's tax increases and the one way they are going to try to save money is by cutting jobs. Sales are down and if taxes go up....you do the math. Barrack Obama is seriously going to hurt many businesses that employ Americans all across the country.
This will stunt the growth of our country. Not only will it discourage people to start new businesses but it will also discourage current businesses from branching out into other stores in other locations. Some businesses will close their doors and more jobs will be lost.
On top of that, Barrack Obama wants to ban secret ballots in union elections. This will mean more corruption as votes are being bought. The employees will lose their right to speak out because unions will take over and bully the employees into voting the way they want them to. This isn't right.
Here are some paragraphs from:
Secret Ballots May End in Union Elections If Obama Becomes President
Monday, May 19, 2008
By John R. Lott, Jr.
Obama has promised in many ways to help unions and protect their workers from competition. He wants to renegotiate the NAFTA agreement signed under President Clinton. He opposes free trade agreements with such strong American allies as Colombia. He has long been opposed to educational vouchers, something teachers’ unions also strongly oppose. But despite all his troubles with working-class voters, it is hard to think of much else that Obama could promise unions.
Obama claims that strengthening unions is good because unions will “lift up the middle-class in this country once more.” But protecting teachers unions from competition comes at the expense of students. Protecting workers from trade competition comes at the expense of customers and even other workers (e.g., if you protect steel workers from competition, the prices of American-made cars rise relative to foreign-made ones).
Unionization virtually always raises some workers' salaries at the expense of other workers. If unions insist on increasing worker pay by threatening strikes that shut down companies, firms reduce the number of workers they hire. Some workers gain higher wages, but only at the expense of causing other workers to lose their jobs. Possibly this last point explains why unions want to scrape secret ballots.
So Obama wants more unions, which are democratic unions, and to take away the right to a secret ballot. He wants more gun control with no guns in the Washington D.C. area or inner-city school areas....so who is to say he won't branch out from those areas on taking away guns. He will raise taxes for everyone because he cannot afford all the government spending he is claiming to do just by taxing the rich. Businesses will suffer from the tax hike making fewer jobs and in turn causing more people to spend less and sales to drop further and them businesses cutting back more jobs, etc. Do you not see the snow ball here? The congress will more than likely be controlled by the dems, as it has been for the past two years, and who is stop Obama from his liberal plans. Where is the checks and balance our government needs? It won't be there. Barrack Obama will be able to pass what he pleases and we, the American people, will be the ones to suffer for it.
With associations and friends like Barrack Obama has....do we really want him to have so much power?
