Rush: "I admire" caller's idea that sm. businesses "shed your payrolls down by 50%" to stop HCR, but it's a "tough call"

Brilliant idea!,

Let your businesses go broke. Then pack your bags and move your business to another country.

Godspeed.

That's one so called "small business owner" who won't be in business long. How long can his business get by with half of it's employees on the unemployment rolls?

This theoretical "small business owner" will be paying more in state unemployment taxes due to it's laying off of employees.

Companies that lay people off pay higher rates than companies who don't lay off.

These callers feed the fat mans ego, but most of the schemes they come up with show how ill informed they are about things like being a "small business owner".

That small business owner would rather tell your employees that you will be paying them less so you can afford to pay for the status quo health care instead of the reform being pushed thru Congress???

SMH! No further comments!

Okay, Rush needs to better research, the Cloward-Piven Strategy was written in 1966, and it might have worked to force the government to address the permanent poor. In actuality, any attributed success to overwhelming the system in New York would have been due to poor management skills by the City, which followed a cycle of financing debt on a short term basis. This numbnuts businessman wants to screw his workers to save a few bucks. The United States is the only industrialized nation without either national insurance or national healthcare. We, as a nation, have made choices to put business profits over our people. I think that is what is foolish, not healthcare reform.

Great idea. Lay off 50% of the work force. Good idea Staple gut. That 'el show em. Of course, your listeners don't work, so they actually wouldn't care. More people to sit around the High-fi drinkin' their sodee-pop listen to you during the work week between Judge Judy.

Best thing that could happen to this country. Cut the work force. Nice job Raunch.


Sooooo, then who would buy the crap you sell on your show you drooping skinned, no sock, fake toothed, blubber sack.

When is this jerk going on vacation?

Make an example of my employees and take away their ability to care for their needs in an attempt to stop healthcare reform which may offer an overall savings to my company's insurance costs, or allow my employees to feed themselves and their families. Wow. That really seems tough. Tough to believe someone is actually thinking like that.

How would that stop health care reform?

Businesses, small or large, should be the ones pushing for the now dead public option. Free from paying a big share of their employees health insurance, businesses would have more money to reinvest in their business and even hire MORE workers!

El Rushbo is funny mentioning how the citizens of France just go on strike. I guess he doesn't know that most of the time they go on strike when the Government tries to make cuts in social programs.

that shows how stupid the reich wing party actually is. collapse the government with unemployment...

Gee, I'll pass that idea on to boss tomorrow. In the meantime I think I'll revel in the fact that my work brought back 5 jobs from China with a ramp plan of 25 jobs by may of next year. Maybe I should ask prospective employees if they are tea baggers? Wouldn't want to hire someone who would be against my company because they prefer the reichswine business plan for outsourcing America, right?

"Chicago has had to shut down." Huh?! Really?!

I live in Chicago and the City Government has not shut down. It is amazing the lies that are permitted on Rush's program.

Rush is comparing this hare brained idea to the Boston Tea Party?

First Rush liked the idea then he did not like the idea and compared it to a Communist strike.

Really the only thing Rush Limbaugh has grown is his smearing of the facts, great war on the poor Rush has helped to make more poor, then anyone I know and it worked. I once made a decent income now with George W. Bush asleep at the wheel for eight long years.
Small Business? You destroyed enough big ones like Snapple and Compuserve. Knock off the lies.

You called McCain a Jerk remember? You reverenced him on how the economy worked. You supported Pat Buchanan then threw that out when you got to sleep in George H. Bush's Lincoln's Bedroom.

You should have been in Jail several times remember your Viagra Prescription, I won't even go into to your Oxycontin one. Who knows what your on know...just a power trip I don't think so.

Come on Rush tell the truth know. ESPN destroyed you. Go sue the NFL for not allowing you to buy The Rams, aren't they like the Government? Those mean NFL owners not allowing you to part of the club. I guess that ESPN Sunday morning broadcast destroyed your sports broadcasting career.

Quite really I can hardly believe you have one its unbelievable.
Hmmmmmmm?

a better idea would be to just tell all small businesses to drop healthcare for their employees. :) that will show them. it is so ironic that the repukes cry about the premiums crippling businesses but fight against single payer or a public option. it's even more pathetic that the only argument they have is that premiums will go up because of the government plan. i understand on fokkk but why reporters on the other networks not stop them in this farce is beyond me
