Disbelief

I still have to shake my head in disbelief every time I read an article on Obamacare.

It is good to see someone is trying to rescind the tax on medical devices, but I doubt if they get it done. I hope the folks who voted for the supreme leader are proud of themselves.

Yep, there are a lot of people here in town who have a lot of years in the orthopedic industry, but now it is all under a threat to go away because of one man’s thinking in Washington.

Can you imagine what Warsaw would look like if all the orthopedic industry was forced to pack up and leave? Where was he at when all the attacks against unions was going on? I never heard him stand up and say one thing for the unions when it was going on.

Let me tell you this much, if this tax is not done away with and our companies pack up and leave, all the unions in the world are not going to do you any good. I understand the Democrats have always been backed by organized labor, which is all right as long as the candidate they’re backing is pro-labor.

Obama has done nothing for unions yet and now with his Obamacare in place it will only cause more job loss. I’m telling you, this next election you better go with your heart and gut feeling when you go to vote.

I’ve never seen a more anti-american president than the one we have in office now. He talks a good talk but it’s all half truths and lies. If you’re in the orthopedic industry and want to keep your job here, better get behind whoever stands to fight against this tax, whether it be Republican or Democrat.

I've got 23 years in my job and too old to go work in a foundry. People, we can not afford or stand for four more years of Obama. Have a nice day while we still can.
