A small jewelry business in Bedford, Virginia closed today with a sign, "CLOSED to mourn the loss of the America that our forefathers endowed to us."
Yeah, because in a states that broke 51/48 for President Obama, you really want to piss off 51% of your potential customers.
Ok, so an owner sounds a bit sad, which I get...but then they do expansion of the article..where you get THIS GEM:
Lyons said he believes the President is trying to undermine the principals of free enterprise that were established by America's founding fathers. He worries that Obama will raise taxes on the wealthy people who patronize his jewelry store.
So take the day off...that's cool. As he said, he didn't feel like being happy all day with customers. No worries. But to piss off 51% of your customers? Yes, small businesses will fail under Obama. Small businesses will succeed under Obama. Sometimes it has a lot less to do with the policies the President may or may not squeeze through congress, and more with businessmen destroying their customer base.
PS: My favorite quote from a friend of his:
"He done it to show that he didn't agree and didn't like what happened."
If anyone can help me load the pic or the video, I'd be grateful.
