We don't eat out a lot but we typically go local, small business when we do. For a lot of things it is tough to shop local any more but not for eating out - at least around here.

 

Honestly Coin I couldn't give a rat's butt who Pizza Hut backs. It's convenient and the local one puts out a decent pie. The added bonus is they don't whine about the fact that Romney lost. Not yet at least and probably a wise move.

Still, they are at least number five locally to me. The other four are all family owned and do quite well. A better pie gets better business in my neck of the woods.

 

No problem here with that point of view, Clembo. That's free enterprise. My comments encouraging doing business with Papa John's (or Pizza Hut) due to their political allegiance are no different than those comments on this forum discouraging doing business with them.

 

Fari enough Coin but I'm not going to start basing too many decisions on where I eat, get gasoline etc. on who a company backs.

If I need gas I go to Speedway. I'd be willing to bet they back Republicans. I'd be willing to bet most large corporations do for that matter.

On the other hand the small city I live in is very big on supporting local business. We're not too much into their political views. If the product is good we want to see them succeed and help the local economy.

Andre DiMino has been running medical device company ADM Tronics since his father, who founded the decades-old firm, died in 2001. He's never laid off anybody.

"These people are like family with us," he said.

The boss might not be able to hold out much longer. Come Jan. 1, an ObamaCare-tied tax specific to his industry is expected to go into effect. Though the Obama administration has downplayed the impact, DiMino calls it "devastating."

"I think after all of these decades of not laying people off, I think we may have to face that," DiMino told FoxNews.com. He predicted he might have to immediately lay off three people in his manufacturing division and possibly more after that.
DiMino, whose Bergen County, N.J., business currently employs 20 workers, is one of hundreds of CEOs across the country clamoring for Washington's attention, urging lawmakers to kill the tax before it kills jobs.

In just the last few days, the intense lobbying push elicited some measure of response. On Monday, 18 Democratic senators and senators-elect asked Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to delay the tax, citing the business impact. They noted the industry employs more than 400,000 people, and is dealing with "significant uncertainty and confusion."

Many in the industry, though, have been clear-eyed about what the tax means -- preemptive layoffs and significant cutbacks in research and development.

While DiMino is waiting for next year to see if he'll need to fire workers, over at Uresil, LLC, in Skokie, Ill., the layoffs have already started. The company laid off six people from its 52-person workforce this year, "primarily related" to the tax, President Lev Melinyshyn said.

"We had never laid off anybody," he told FoxNews.com. "We bought the company in 2004, never had a layoff. In fact, even during the recession, we added jobs. ... It wasn't until this tax hit us that we had to do it."

Listen, you are just going to have to stop posting this kind of real-world evidence, our lefties here can't process it! If you aren't careful, they are going to internally or spontaneously combust...and their meltdowns will be on your hands!

 

LOL Still deflecting and spewing juvenile responses after all these years? I thought for sure I would come back here and you would be addressing the pages of facts presented. Oh well. There's always next year.

Thanks for your VALUABLE input. Assuming it is you and a random 5 year old hasn't hijacked your computer. (Can't tell by the content of that post. )

 

If by "real world evidence" you mean conjecture and speculation.

 

You mean like Arab spring is good, the summers of recovery, unemployment will not get over 8%, Obama vowing to reduce the deficit by 50% by the end of his first term in office, "gas mileage standards would save the average American household $8000 per year", "My budget will cut the deficit by $4 Trillion over 10 years", ...... etc and so on
