re: #772 avanti

I see that now. Firing a employee because of the recession on, is a sad, but a no brainer. The reason I think Cato and I were confused is out sounded like a firing to avoid the upcoming tax increase for the top rates.
In fairness to all, it was easy to misunderstand this quote when we were talking tax burdens:

I just fired my full time employee so I don’t have to contribute any more than I absolutely have to.

People are not just getting fired because a recession is on. They are getting fired because small and large business don’t have any HOPE that Obama and his admin can CHANGE this economy around. It’s called buckling down for the long haul.
