Texas Doctor: "I fired my first Obama voting employee today"

[Colossus_500]

Dumb thing to do, but if employers want to hire and fire someone of a particular party they should have the right to do so.

Agreed!

[LurkerNoMore]

Typical 333 bullshit again.  Finding pride in a dumbasses actions.

[Soul Crusher]

So, if all things being equal, what criteria should the doc use in this case?  A lottery? 

[kcballer]

No, if I have 5 employees and one has to be let go, and the 5 are equal in all respects and I have to let one go, and I know one of them voted for a tax increase and mandate on my business, SCREW THEM - THEY ARE GONE! ! ! !

Its about time in this country that people feel and realize the consequences of their voting decisions. 

Personally, I would have done the same thing 99/100 times.   

So you don't believe in freedom of choice to vote for who you wish?  Lets give an example here - candidate a will lower the business tax rate but raise a families income tax.  Candidate b will lower family income taxes but keep raise the business tax rate.  You would openly say on here that you would fire someone who voted for candidate b because it hurt your business situation?  Would you also say you think people should vote along the lines of what helps their employer or should they vote for what helps their family?

Uh no they shouldn't.  You argument is not based on work merit at all and on belief.  You must therefore believe that your religious, sexual or choice of tie colour can and will effect your employment too right?

Yes I believe in free choice, but I also believe that freedom brings consequences.  You vote for a communist like Obama who wants to tax your employer, dont be surprised when your employer fires you.  Simple as that.

As for your example, its a choice.  If you choose to vote to tax your employer, dont be surprised when he lets you go.  

Its called learning the reality that socialism does not work and that class envy, tax frenzy, and marxist bs has consequences.  

I have no problem with what this doc did and would do it myself if all things being equal, I had to lay one person off and I knew that one of the 5 voted for a tax increase on my business.      

[Soul Crusher]

KC - please stop the ignorant bs.  We have laws etc on labor and employment.  Political beliefs are not a protected class. 

Race, sex, national origin, are.  That's it.

Free choice or will does not mean we live in a world without consequences.

People are free to jump off a bridges but that doesn't mean the ground won't harm them.

[Soul Crusher]

Exactly.  I dont care who you vote for, but if you vote for someone out to screw me over, dont be surprised when I hand you a pink slip.

Here's the thing... I'm not gonna go calling KC or anyone else an idiot. I'm convinced they don't feel things like math or affordability need taking into consideration because healthcare reform is for the greater good. If that's the case, why shouldn't sacrifices be made by people who believe in the cause?!

That's my point exactly.  Its about time so brain dead libs start feeling the effect of the crap they keep voting for. 

[Straw Man]

same friggin criteria he would otherwise use

this shit is not complicated

Ok, and if there is no difference at all between the employees but for the fact that you know one voted for more taxes on your business and for a communist asshole looking to take over your livihood, in my mind its an easy choice. 

You want to vote for communism, socialism, and liberal bs economics, WELCOME TO ITS EFFECTS!   

[BM OUT]

MY QUESTION IS WHY DO YOUR BOSSES KNOW WHO YOU VOTED FOR?Ive worked for the same boss for 7 years,he doesnt know what my politics are.All he knows is I lift,Im big and I show up.Other then that I only speak to him about work or our kids.Quite frankly I dont even like talking about that.Im sure he thinks Im waaaay to the right as I might comment in meetings about my taxes or if we are going to have health care after this dumb bill passesd but its more of an anti government or anti tax rant,but I dont recall ever telling him,Im a republican or Im a democrat or Im a libertarian.I think he just thinks Im a pissed off guy who looks like I want to be left alone.

A public employer CANNOT fire a person for political beliefs.
A private employer CAN - even if those beliefs in no way interfere with the business.

A PUBLIC employer cant fire anyone for almost anything.

why not go one step further and just inform all employees if they vote for someone that you don't like then they are fired

you'd be fine with that too I assume

I would be fine if they kept it to themselves, but if they did not, and they let it be known that they voted for Obama, and i have nothing else to go from, I would fire that guy 99/100 times. 

You motherfuckers voted for this communist, now deal with it.

Obama is not a Socialist.  Why do you keep calling him that?  Its kind of disrespectful to Socialists you know.

Now he is a Communist?  2 Seconds ago you called him a Socialist.  What all of a sudden changed your mind in that quick of a time frame?

your rants about Communism are FUCKING STUPID

if you think intimidation is an appropriate part of the political process then you're the one who is the Commie/Marxist/Nazi thug

[240 is Back]

i bet stalin is down in hell laughing at all the people using the word 'communist'.


He's like, "I slaughtered 20 million people - that's some mufferfvvvcking communism."  This crap equating universal healthcare with communism would crack him up.

[Jezebelle]

Socialism is a pre-text to communism. 

I don`t think you fully know the definition of either.

[Soul Crusher]

No, I think that if you vote for someone who promises to raise taxes on your employer, it is perfectly logical reasonable, and rational, that you be the first person fired if there is no other criteria to go by in determining who gets fired.
