I wonder how many lay offs I'll have to make to compensate for the increased taxes.

Have you calculated the difference in tax burden for your business, or are you just talking?

If I had already calculated it I wouldn't be wondering.

Good point, I'll just hire fewer than I would have pre punitive taxation state. Or better yet an across the board price increase with a little extra tacked on for bonuses. Nobody will even notice. Whatever the case the earnings will remain intact. Let the end user compensate.
Obamanomics.

It's no wonder the economy is in the dumper with such negative attitudes in small business.
You might just innovate your products and lean your processes, investing the improvements in top and bottom line into more local jobs.
Business as usual ain't going to cut it regardless of who's President. Anyone who thinks that change is the fault of someone else sure doesn't sound like a Republican to me.

This my friend is very far from small business. This is very large business with local, regional, national and global earnings expectations and yes we are circling our wagons against the negative impacts BHO's tax plan will present. In case you haven't noticed businesses have already innovated their processes and driven effeciencies through all levels of the operations. Increased costs equate to increased consumer priceing and job losses, period end of story.

No. We dont hire illegal aliens. We do a far more thorough job of ascertaining citzenship than the Democratic party does of their presidential candidates.
