I love that he is in office, and will do my part to see him in there another 4 years. Why? because I do not want to live in a socialist country. Obama nearly bankrupted us with taxes and over burdensome regulations. Not to mention the prospect of a federal minimum wage that would have us fire/lay off 1/2 our work force and reduce salaries to meet a 15 dollar an hour requirement.
Oh, so your business is a big recipient of corporate welfare, then? If your employees have children, and you are paying wages that are low, then the earnings of your employees are being subsidized by the government. You're totally against socialism except for when the government is subsidizing the lousy wages that you pay to your employees. Personally, I would rather that businesses pay a decent wage rather than having the government subsidize low wage paying employers.
The Earned Income Tax Credit is the nations largest welfare program, and it is essentially a bribe that is paid to people with children to work for low wage employers such as you, Drich. The government is paying people to work for you.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
