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.

Or you know, it could just be Corporate Greed.
Or it could be just stupid, unthinking morons. Like you!
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.
You're trying to explain something more complicated than opening a bag of Cheetos to johnny one note?
Waste of time.
Opening bags of Cheetos? You should know better... his mom does that for him.
I don't even eat Cheetos or any of Corporate Greed's processed, chemical riddled poison.
Give you a hint sweetie. Even if you are eating 100% certified Organic food you are still eating crap with pesticides and fertilizers on it. You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gullible and stupid!
TURDS!
TD,.........................MO.
Of course you do. Lying on top of sloth?
What makes you think that? I call libel on that.
Shut up. You can't "call" libel on anything. Idiot.
Good for you, I had no idea you live & work on a farm, may have to reassess.
Work? LMFAO!!!
of course you do, but you are a moron.
Shut up, creepycrawley
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.
