This is all Twitchy's fault for reporting it.

Reading that was a wast of time. Same old BS, spouted by the same old cons. When a reputable site like the Guardian says mass layoffs then i'll take notice.

So the private sector is gonna hold us hostage because they didn't get their way?


Sounds like a bunch of crybabies....I have a better idea, quit making excuses! Stop blaming taxes and unions and regulations and man up! Stop blaming the left for your problems, stop blaming the people because they want to be treated fairly and paid a fair wage with fair bennies. So they can feed their families and keep the lights on.

So much wealth is this world, yet it seems like its wasted....

Layoff people while at the same time making millions.....this isn't about Obama or taxes, this is and always will be about GREED!

Same goes for you & I ILHP....we both go to work everyday and do the best we can because we want more. I know I've never said to myself, "Hey, I'm making enough, let someone else have get more".

I think I'd be an idiot if I thought that, don't you?

The greed argument has been around for 5 thousand years.

The bottom line is people are in business to make money nothing else.It will never change.
The whole problem with liberals argument is that its not connected to any reality.
If laying off is going to help their bottom line because of government regulation, restraints and overburdening draconian tax hikes like Obamacare then they will.
I don't know how your side can be so clueless to that fact.

And even with layoffs they are going to raise the cost of doing business with consumers to offset these new forced government expenditures.
I've been telling you this for months. Socialist government eventually ends up hurting the people they are supposed to be helping the most and the wealth gap grows larger.

When is your side ever, ever going to realize that?

You are relying tweets, but that feeds the hysteria/half truth beast.

If this was going to be so devastating, why didn't they do it a month ago when I may have made a difference for the right???

Why wait, if true, for a couple of days after the election.

there were enough warnings by business that this would be the case if Obama were reelected...you guys called those threats political.

The above companies layoffs coming AFTER the election is because they were hoping not to cut anybodies job.

Where you guys think that business that have to compete 24 hours a day for market share and profits are supposed to be charity organizations is dilusional.

Now this is just an example layoffs coming...Wait about 6 months that see actual buisnesses go extinct.

Can certainly count on some for hysteria.. these are tweets, nothing official.

One anonymous person's opinion that he or she made in 140 letters or less...
