RUSH: Okay, from Breitbart: “23% of Small Business Owners Went a Year Without Pay — Barack Obama has said the private sector is doing fine. Tell that to small business owners; a new survey by Citigroup shows that 23% of small business owners have gone more than a year without pay. The study also says that 54% of them have gone without at least one paycheck; 38% of them said their employees had worked overtime without being compensated; and 18% of them had been unable to make a paycheck for their employees at least once.<\/p>\n

“During recent years, 78% of the owners have taken less profit, 70% have been working more hours, and 69% have used their own funds in order to keep their businesses afloat.<\/p>\n

When asked what issues have been the most problematic for them, the owners didn\u00c2\u2019t rank their access to financing in the top five, instead claiming lack of sales and consumer confidence were the most troubling factors.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Well, of course. Anybody with any common sense knows that. Everybody, the regime, Obama, running around trying to make this a credit problem. It\u2019s not. These business owners are scared to death of the future. They don\u2019t know what\u2019s in store, but they have a good idea, and they\u2019re frightened. They\u2019re frightened of Obamacare. By the way, a lot of people were expecting the court to announce its Obamacare decision today, but no. So next Monday, the 25th, looks like the day. The story is that they\u2019re still working on this opinion, and they\u2019re working diligently to get it right. Now, I don\u2019t remember who told me this. It was in a chat earlier this morning. But I would think this thing\u2019s already written. If they\u2019re still working on it, I would be dumbfounded. But I could be wrong about that. Anyway, that decision\u2019s coming Monday. <\/p>\n

And look at this. Investor\u2019s Business Daily: “October Surprise? Debt May Hit Limit Before Election — At the recent pace of debt growth, the US will reach its statutory limit of $16.394 trillion some time in October — just before Americans go to the polls. The government has ways to stay below that ceiling for a few months, giving lawmakers a grace period. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the deadline is early 2013.<\/p>\n

“But the recent slowdown in economic growth bodes poorly for federal tax receipts. Any pickup in the rate of debt accumulation could pull forward that deadline into the super-charged environment of a presidential election. If the government is seen as dysfunctional in another debt standoff, the public will likely hold President Obama more liable than Republicans.” And, by the way, that is also the opinion of noted Rothenberg Political Report Deputy Editor Nathan Gonzales. So let\u2019s say we hit the debt limit before the election and the same rancor assumes with the arguments and the debates over whether to extend it, that would be a real test for the Republicans. You know the pressure on Boehner and the boys? Oh, can you imagine?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a victory waiting to be had. It\u2019s a victory waiting to be snatched from our jaws, I\u2019m afraid. But the other way of looking at it is, even if you let Obama win it and you expand the debt, that doesn\u2019t help. That\u2019s not what people want, and it would inspire even more anti-Obama turnout. So we shall see.<\/p>\n

Let me grab a call real quickly here before we go to the break because Madeleine from Orange County, California, has been on the phone for a while. She is a business owner, president of a large corporation, and she wants to weigh in on this. Thank you for waiting, Madeleine. Glad to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, and let me just say, you are the champion of patriots.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: Real quickly with my story. You know, I started over 20 years ago, got a divorce, went and worked for a company, learned everything, and went on my own and built a corporation running about a thousand men. I\u2019m in construction, I\u2019m a female, and we\u2019re private, we\u2019re not union. And so over the last four years, I have laid off 800-plus men. And I have made up my mind that if Barack gets four more years, I am going to close. I\u2019m going to close the company down. I\u2019m down to maybe 200-plus men right now. And my stress comes from laying these people off, and now I\u2019m getting the lawsuits for wrongful termination. Someone called someone an old man, so I\u2019m being sued for six figures on that. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. Hold, hold, hold, hold, whoa, whoa, whoa, just a sec. Wait a minute. I want to get the picture of this. You, Madeleine, are the only woman in a company that had a thousand employees.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You had to lay off 800 of these guys, you\u2019re in the construction business.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, over the last four years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Last four years. Did you get any stimulus money for shovel-ready jobs from President Obama?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not a dime. Please. Not a stinking dime, because if you are a private company and you take one dollar of government or state or county money, you have to sign a deal with the union. And there is no way. So I do track residential. The union guys do the commercial, and they\u2019re not involved —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You see, I asked her that \u2019cause I knew what the answer was gonna be. The key here is that Obama insisted that every job that got stimulus money to assist had to be a union job, be it a bureaucrat in a state government office or on a construction job, so you didn\u2019t get a penny because you aren\u2019t union.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No. And nor do I want to be. The union is the reason why the economy is so horrific, and why he doesn\u2019t understand that — well, he does. But it\u2019s just a matter of here I\u2019ve laid off over 800 people who had jobs, who took care of their families. I didn\u2019t fire them. I laid them off so they\u2019re collecting unemployment. But now the stress is they\u2019re finding ways to come back at me. Seven months later I have a lawsuit where a guy said one of my guys called him an old man, Rush. So he found an attorney in LA who would take his case and he is now suing me —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something, Madeleine, I know people who have told me that they live in fear of what\u2019s happened to you. They have to lay people off, and they know they\u2019re setting themselves up for lawsuits like the ones you\u2019re getting. But you have no choice, right? I mean if you had a 15,000-employee firm, you\u2019re down to 200, you didn\u2019t do that because you\u2019re mean. Nobody wants their business to shrink that much, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, \u2019cause there is no work, and whatever work there is right now, it\u2019s just a matter of no profit, rolling dollars just to keep the employees who have been with you 20- plus years going. And now as far as me, I still take a check, I would have shut down if I would have taken no check. Because that doesn\u2019t make sense to me to risk the liability, to risk everything —<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and you\u2019re not even taking a dollar? <\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand that, but you\u2019re gonna shut down if Obama\u2019s reelected?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, I am, sir. I certainly am.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Specifically why?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because the worker\u2019s comp has doubled because of the lawsuits. Just I\u2019ve had it, I\u2019ve really had it, and there is no profit. You\u2019re rolling dollars. I\u2019m not borrowing money because I\u2019ve been a good business steward to keep it afloat, but there just is no more profit in it, and so why do I want to risk the lawsuits and the liability and the workers\u2019 comp, why do I want to risk all that? Workers comp has doubled.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Well, plus, health care is part of that, but on top of that, to boot, you\u2019ll be buried.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. So it\u2019s bye-bye after 20 some years. I don\u2019t know where my employees who have been with me for 20 some years are gonna go and get a job because everybody\u2019s in this situation. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, plus, it\u2019s California, so you got a double whammy. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Double whammy. He\u2019s gonna raise the taxes and thinks anybody who makes over a certain amount wants to pay more so we\u2019re gonna vote for that. I mean, it\u2019s crazy. I\u2019m headed to Texas where Governor Perry is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. See, that\u2019s federalism, folks. You can move. But when the Feds start doing this stuff, there\u2019s nowhere to go to escape it. Madeleine, God bless. Good luck.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bill in Clayton, North Carolina, welcome to the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it is a honor. I have tried numerous times to get in touch with you, and I just came out of Lowe\u2019s here in Clayton, North Carolina, and I got through. It\u2019s a very big honor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve had anybody on the phone that just came out of Lowe\u2019s.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, you said something today that really tickles me. I want to say it. It\u2019s when you talked about Sarah Palin and you said, “Right on!” I love it when you go, “Right on! Right on!” I love it every time you say that. It makes me chuckle. But I wanted to get to the point that a lady said a few times when she called back in. She hit the nail on the head. And I said, “I gotta sit down with my employees.” I only have two employees here in Clayton. One I just hired from New Jersey and he never voted in his life. Well, he voted for the mayor one time. At least that\u2019s what he said. And I told him that if this president gets in again — and my wife said this morning she thought it\u2019s crazy, but — I will close down. I\u2019m tired of this. I work my tail off, like I told Snerdley. I work sometimes late, late, late at night because I can\u2019t hire nobody.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is your business?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m in heating and air. I own my own business. I run it. I answer the phones. I do everything. I started from nothing. And I have a lot of customers, but what it is is the government. Like that woman said, workmen\u2019s comp is one of the biggest things. With just employees — two employees, not counting me — I pay $8,000 a year. Just for two employees. This story right now I\u2019m gonna tell you —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. Wait, did you say $800,000?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, sir, $8,000.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Eight.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Eight to ten thousand dollars just in workmen\u2019s comp. That\u2019s if someone gets hurt, they\u2019ll take care of it. And we never had a problem with anyone getting hurt. But with a small company like that, I can use that for something else. I can hire me a secretary to answer phones.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a stupid question. It gets hot in North Carolina. What is the problem with your business? Do not people make sure their air-conditioning is working in the summertime? I mean, if it goes out, they have to get it fixed.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They do, but it\u2019s not about the problem with the summertime. It\u2019s for the full year. I mean, we are so busy right now, it\u2019s unbelievable.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then why are you gonna shut down if you\u2019re so busy?<\/p>\n

CALLER: ‘Cause I\u2019m just tired of working my tail off. I\u2019m tired of all these other people getting their handouts and I stay here working all night.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a family.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I got it. You\u2019re working all these hours and you\u2019ve got pay all this other stuff to everybody else before you pay yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/a>CALLER: Yes. I mean, the thing is it\u2019s not the main thing. It\u2019s the principle of it. It\u2019s gotten to the point of where we\u2019re just a handout, and why should I have to pay for somebody else\u2019s handout and my taxes and everything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you\u2019re “going Galt,” buddy. You\u2019re “going Galt.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I\u2019m gonna go work for somebody else.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. No. Galt means, “To hell with it.” You\u2019re tired of pulling the cart. You\u2019re tired of pulling the cart and 99% of the people in the cart being pulled. You\u2019re tired of pulling it. You\u2019re going Galt. Ayn Rand, John Galt. You\u2019ve had it. Madeleine in Orange County, California, essentially was saying the same thing. If Kardashian is reelected, they\u2019re just gonna shut down. He\u2019s working 90-hour weeks and he\u2019s got nothing to show for it. That\u2019s his problem. A lot of other people have a lot to show for how hard he\u2019s working, but he doesn\u2019t. That\u2019s what he\u2019s saying. He\u2019s thinking he owns a business, “And if I\u2019m putting in all these hours, I ought to be getting something out of it.”<\/p>\n

But he sees it all mandated to others.<\/p>\n

I hear what he\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n

I know it firsthand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
