High corporate taxes, mandates and idiotic regulations don't have a bearing?

I asked a very republican friend of mine who is a CFO of a good sized company how he feels about corporate taxes, and he said it never comes into play. The only time that hits them at all is if they stop investing in their company. "Why would we do that?" He said. "If we are out of projects to invest in, and it was that good of a year, the owners take a larger payout, and we still don't pay a lot of corporate taxes. The only way corporate taxes would be an issue is if morons were handling the books."
(He was pretty frank that the payroll tax benefit of the stimulus would probably have no bearing on their decisions either. If they need people for production, they hire people. It all hinges on sales.)
I can't answer the idiotic regulations thing for you since I just don't know much about them. I really haven't run across anything in the business where I work now though. Maybe we are just lucky.

And of course it all has bearing on corporate decisions. What weight those bearings have on the decisions is the point of this conversation at this moment.

Just about everybody I know that has been hired in the last few years has been hired through a temp agency because the employer may as well adopt somebody as put them on the payroll!
By the time the employer pays the temp agency the employees wages and the agencies cut they are paying more per hour then it would cost them to hire the person!
WHY would they do this?????????????????????????
Some employers closely monitor people and if somebody is an exemplary worker they may be hired directly!

Jobs Bill For Lawyers

Buried in the president's American Jobs Act is a provision that will do nothing to encourage hiring and much to discourage it. Unless, that is, you're a law firm looking for new ways to sue companies.

Leave it to Obama — someone with zero business experience — to lecture companies about what does and doesn't make sense when it comes to hiring. But what makes "no sense" is his charge that companies are "discriminating" against the unemployed in the first place.

Employers are looking for the most qualified person to fill a job, and often that will mean those who have the most up-to-date skills. That may be unfortunate for the unemployed, particularly the long-term unemployed, but it's the exact opposite of discrimination.

It also makes no sense to threaten companies that are already skittish about hiring anyone — unemployed or not — with still more potentially costly legal headaches if they actually do hire someone.

Still, Obama has shoved a provision into his jobs bill that would make it illegal for companies to discriminate against the unemployed, opening the door to a flood of costly, needless and ultimately job-killing legal actions.

As Charles Lane, an editorial writer at the Washington Post put it, this will "probably destroy jobs in a misguided effort to save them," adding that "plaintiffs' lawyers are no doubt dreaming up new ways to wield this new cause of action — make that class action — every time a company turns someone down for a job."

“I agree that there are some rules and regulations that put an unnecessary burden on businesses at a time when they can least afford it,” Obama told the Congress. So why the heck would he create another one?

Misguided is probably the best discreption. Let's face it...lawyers can *******ize any legislation, and will. It's assanine that in this economy a business would overlook better qualified unemployed folks to instead steal away curently employed workers from their current workplace. So it is a misguided attempt to correct assanine behaviors by businesses. Hopefully this part of the overall bill will be struck before anything is enacted, if it comes to that.

Oh Rats! Do not get me started on lawyers! I have been around the world and no place is worse than America when it comes to laws and lawyers! I feel much of our problems in America is caused by lawyers. I think they are much of the reason health care is so expensive, why you can not get a cup of hot coffee at Mc Donald's I do not like that the rich can get away with murder with a good lawyer.
Ever notice that most of Congress is lawyers? That right there should tell you something.

I will tell you that I do not believe there is anything intentional about it.

Not intentional?
I'm sure you could find a list of the over 600 regulations that were dealt with in JULY alone and see how many of them will cost JOBS to be lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People are waking up to reality every day!

Touting jobs plan, Obama visits Apex, N.C., where locals are frustrated with him


APEX, N.C. — In this tiny town of 37,000, historic Salem Street still teems with charming mom-and-pop restaurants and stores, such as the Rusty Bucket, that sell country-themed knickknacks. The median family income is $102,000. The town was named a few years ago as the 14th best place to live in the nation.

On Wednesday, President Obama arrived here to tour a manufacturing business and tout the benefits of his American Jobs Act, which the president has said would create jobs and lift economically depressed areas.

On Wednesday, he arrived in Apex to tour WestStar Precision,

Once again the POS Kenyan muslim did not salute the Metal of Honor recipient when it was awarded today. What an embarassment to the military and the country as a whole. This is the second time he has failed to do this.

I just thought I was mad the first time!!$#&*@#

OK, as much as I hate to defend Nobama he is in the right..

Since he wears the mantel of commander in chief he out ranks the Sgt who got the CMH. Superior Officers do not initiate a salute to a lower ranking person. They are required to return the salute when it is rendered to them.

Question. Did the Sergeant salute Obama after receiving the medal? If not then he was wrong, if he did and the salute was not returned then Nobama was wrong..

He is supposed to put his hand over his heart during Hail to the Cheif also right? Seriously folks. I'm not a fan of his by any stretch. But let's get it straight and not make up stuff to make him look bad. He is perfectly capable of looking bad all on his own.

Just for giggles. This is me on the right receiving the Bronze Star after Desert Storm.

I have already saluted the Battalion Commander and he has returned it. We are returning to the position of attention following the salute, the commander first and I follow. After this he will shake my hand and congratulate me.
