    your attitude is like a guy with an education chip on his shoulder. always trying to pretend to be an intellect. thinking back to my college pysch class... would that be over compensating? a manifestation of an inferiority complex... what? help me figure out why the leftist who loses virtually every argument wants to pretend he is superior? you should not feel so bad... all your arguments start off as illogical... you were not destined to prevail. Really, don't feel bad... I have told you leftist arguments don't stand up in a factual environment.

    lets do a review of your big arguments...

    1. taxes... tax revenues went up and the 1% paid more after the bush tax cuts. And, the presidents own advisor wrote a paper showing that increasing taxes destroys gdp.
    so you have fact... and you have a reason for the fact happening. if raising taxes destroys gdp what would lowering taxes do, at least in some circumstances?

    2. the IRS targeting of conservatives...
    did you see the email between treasury and learner which came out yesterday about going off book?

    3. you were trying to blame Rs for obamacare's failures... then I explained to you the Rs did not even have a single vote in favor of Obamacare... it was entirely up to the dems and they could have gone with single payer had they wanted.


    I could go on.

    as I said its not your fault, its your worldview.

    "It seems as if Sebelius doesn’t care what the facts are. She is now hilariously claiming that there will be no job loss at all under Obamacare. I wonder if she is aware of the fact that the CBO recently estimated that there will be 2.5 million jobs will be lost because of Obamcare (revised up from a measly 800,000). My guess is she knows full well and is choosing to lie about it...."

    One would assume sales volume justified the employment of three persons before the raises. Why would sales volume fall after the raises?

    I guess you never ran a business, eh? You have revenue and expenses. When expenses (such as salaries) go up - then you either need to trim the expenses by laying people off or increase revenue. It is hard to increase revenue (prices) in a low margin business such as restaurants where your customers will stop showing up if you increase prices by mere cents & chose to go to the cheaper competitor three doors down.

    Why would my competitor's product be cheaper if he/she has also given raises? And if he/she has cut staff to preserve margin will customers who go there get a burger or a long line?
