Why employment is dead in the water. “For most businesses, overhead costs 50% to 100% of total employee compensation–wages plus benefits and payroll taxes. So adding another employee to gross 20% more doesn’t make it worthwhile–it actually generates a loss once overhead costs are paid.” Profits? Costs? Overhead? This is a foreign language to academics and politicians, to whom money apparently grows on trees along with the unicorn steaks.

This is why academia should be forced to actually leave their sheltered lives, work in the private sector for at least 2 consecutive years, then just maybe they would understand that all if their lectures are fantasies and bull shit.
As for the dim wit politicians, they are a lost cause and the sooner everyone that votes D for dumbass realize it. The sooner they can get a grip on reality and begin the process of becoming self reliant.

Did you read the article? He’s not talking about hiring by large corporations, he’s talking about the effect of Fed and government policies on small businesses, which provide the majority of new jobs in the country. Ron Paul would likely agree with his assessment, given that, as a physician, he once was a small businessman himself.

And you truly don’t want to know what worthless business people Doctors are. That’s why the smallest practice has a business manager, even if its just the Dr.’s wife. They may be brilliant in their field, but business? Not so much. SO WHY the hell would we elect an old, ineffective DOCTOR to do anything. There are plenty of stupid people in goverment already. MORE than our fair share.
