I have done just what this administration has encouraged me to do, I
have eliminated employees. It simply is no longer worth having them
when the amount of paperwork and worry over all the govt forms is so
great so you just outsource everything. One can have parts made in
India and then contract to have them assembled somehwere else. No
reason to have any US employees at all. All I need to do is collect
royalties and cash checks now. This is the economy of the Obama
years.
No worries about health plans, no worries about workers comp,
pensions, etc, I am free to use my mind to invent instead of doing
govt paperwork. Thank You Mr Obama.
Jobs? What about Jobs? Those are your problem since you voted for
him. I am going sailing, thanks ofr setting me free.
See, I used to think that those of us who could produce jobs were
morally obligated to do so but now I have seen the light. Creating
jobs has nothing to do with me and I can sleep well knowing that I am
not helping any Americans find employment. Jobs are for the govt to
create, not me.
Time to go sailing again.


You never had employees, how could you eliminate 'em?


He must be talking about the army of handymen he keeps employed fixin'&
replacin' stuff as it fall of his boats.




I'll bet there is a lot of truth in that. I remember from my dad's
marina the differences between two of the mechanics he employed
seasonally. One was meticulous in everything. His shop area, tools, car,
boat, lawn, everything, was as perfect as could be. Another was just the
opposite. Somehow they were both good mechanics, and they got along
well, but they were like ying and yang. The neat guy's real job was as a
senior VP for a major truck building company, and the other guy was a
lead tech at Sikorsky. Weird.

I imagine Froggy's shop is the same sort of disaster as his boat, his
yard, his cars...a real mess.
