LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) � A Las Vegas business owner with 114
employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of
President Obama�s re-election.

�David� (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told
Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that �elections have consequences�
and that �at the end of the day, I need to survive.�

Here�s an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to
hear even more from this compelling conversation:

�I�ve done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them
which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe
in the right to choose who they want to be president, but I did
explain as a business owner that I have always put my employees
first. I always made sure that when I went without a paycheck that
[I] made sure they were paid. And I explained that I always put
them first and unfortunately I�m at a point where I�m being forced
to have to worry about me and my family now and a business that I
built from just me to 114 employees.

�I explained to them a month ago that if Obama gets in office that
the regulations for Obamacare are gonna hurt our business, and I�m
gonna have to make provisions to make sure I have enough money to
cover the payroll taxes, the additional health care I�m gonna have
to do, and I explained that to them and I said you do what you feel
like in your heart you need to do, but I�m just letting you know as
a warning this is things I have to think of as a business owner.

�Well unfortunately, and most of my employees are Hispanic � I�m
not gonna go into what kind of company I have, but I have mostly
Hispanic employees � well unfortunately we know what happened and I
can�t wait around anymore, I have to be proactive. I had to lay off
22 people today to make sure that my business is gonna thrive and
I�m gonna be around for years to come. I have to build up that nest
egg now for the taxes and regulations that are coming my way.
Elections do have consequences, but so do choices. A choice you
make every day has consequences and you know what, I�ve always put
my employees first, but unfortunately today I have to put me and my
family first, and you watch what�s gonna happen. I�m just one guy
with 114 employees � well was 114 employees � watch what happens in
the next six months. The Dow alone lost 314 points today. There�s a
tsunami coming and if you didn�t think this election had
consequences, just wait.�

Good for him. He should get rid of all of them and go retire in the
Caymans. Who gives a shit?

owns and boycott the shit out of it.

Sure does. A cowardly douchebag, for "obvious" reasons, at that.
Here's what he said in the interview:

"David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host
Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that
“at the end of the day, I need to survive.”

“Well unfortunately, and most of my employees are Hispanic — I’m not
gonna go into what kind of company I have, but I have mostly Hispanic
employees — well unfortunately we know what happened and I can’t wait
around anymore, I have to be proactive. I had to lay off 22 people
today to make sure that my business is gonna thrive and I’m gonna be
around for years to come. I have to build up that nest egg now for the
taxes and regulations that are coming my way."

I hope the station interviews some of the 22 laid off workers and some
of the remaining workers who now fear for their jobs.

I hope you are as staunch a supporter of those who lost their jobs at
the hands of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.
