UN Gun Treaty

[noharleyyet]

As a business owner I'm happy and thankful my employees and I have a job. Hard as it might be to believe, not all of us can simply 'pass' unallocated mandates on to our customers. Complicated and unsustainable edicts from the gubmint make me nervous.. and flippant comments about other people's livliehood just don't do it for me these days.

Josie, going to start with you since it's more fun, and easier to make you look foolish.

LMAO........ "not saying it right"...... That is some pretty much bullshit type of spin. your opinion. not sure why you think your opinion matters to me or anyone else? You clearly stated that it was on "any house you sell", and, Nemont skool'd you on your ignorance. And now, instead of telling him thanks, and sending him a check for the tuition, you mean like the ones you send me for the constant schooling I have given you? you have the audacity to call him out??? yes, called him out. why is that a problem? he wants to call me a liar or ignorant, and then writes the post he did? trying to read that was tough until he edited it. That ain't a "typo", never said I made a typo. nemont said he made a typo. but do find it interesting the way you run around telling everyone how ignorant they are because of the way they write or spell, but you never said a word to nemont. guessing since you feel inferior to him, you can't do it? or maybe you're afraid that he will start pointing out your ignorance? that is a completely ignorant statement you made. And, let's be honest, you still don't have a clue how it affects anybody. again, your opinion. if you had read the bill/law, you would know where I got my information. Spin away, spin away, and when you get done, you should send a tuition check to Nemont for the skoolin' you got. My guess is you have got more skoolin' in this thread than you have since 8th grade.... let us know when you get off your knees in front of nemont and having something important to say. because so far, you have not said anything relevant to anything. all you have done is try to ride nemonts coat tail.

"Typing on an iPad makes for a lot of typos."

hey, it's your story, you tell it the way you want to.

 

[TLC]

Josie, have to ask. if you were in a face to face, would you have the nerve to make a cooment like this? "And now you feel compelled to state the same ignorant lies as TLC after watching Nemont Skool him?" completely rhetorical as I already know the answer after seeing the picture of you out fishing.

see you are riding nemonts coat tail again. complete lack of originality.

As a business owner I'm happy and thankful my employees and I have a job. Hard as it might be to believe, not all of us can simply 'pass' unallocated mandates on to our customers. Complicated and unstainable edicts from the gubmint make me nervous.. and flippant comments about other people's livliehood just don't do it for me these days.

As a business owner I know that my clients rely on the best that I can provide. I don't get that by putting myself or my profit margin first. I get hat by empowering my partners, contractors and employees.

If that means I make a few bucks less this year, but ensure the future prosperity of my business then so be it. I pay over 400 a month for just a high deductible plan for my wife and I. I also have an hsa so I can afford that deductible. Before ACA, we couldn't get insurance because of a pre-existing condition my wife has. Before I left and started my own business, I didn't have health care except for a small flex plan that got used
up every year by going to the dentist.

I've been on both sides of this. I've had bennies cut, salary cuts, etc,and the only thing it did was create a situation where I resented coming in to work. I wasn't as valuable as someone else's pocketbook. That's not right. Especially when you sacrifice and go way above and beyond your job statement.

The value of an employee is much more than their salary and benefits package. Treating people like a commodity rather than an asset is a great way to go out of business, and continue a cycle that places more value on profits than people.

Telling people you are cutting their compensation because you don't like the politics of something is horseshit. Saying that you're going to do it because it impacts your bottom line negatively is just as bad, and shows no real entrepreneurial spirit.

Nemont, missed your post where you had the link for the realtors site. can you tell me where they got that information from? it's not in the bill that I read.

copied from the bill I read.

 

[Big Fin]

Wow, I am a CPA who spent 8 hours in class getting lectured on this bill by tax attorneys, and I am now at a loss as to what the issue of debate as morphed into here.

I am about to edit the thread title from UN Gun Treaty to ACA facts or fictions. That would keep people better informed of what the real topic has become.

 

[spook12]

Ben,you do realize that making a few bucks less year after year is a piss poor business model, no?

 

[mtmiller]

That would keep people better informed of what the real topic has become.

Pure entertainment.

 

[Ben Lamb]

You bet. I also realize that a business who doesn't adapt, improvise and overcome is dead as well. If I go with cheaper contractors, I won't deliver a good product. If I don't deliver a good product, I don't get new clients. If I don't continue to bring in new clients, I'm done.

I watched my parents build a multi-million dollar business from a $50,000 investment and a lot of hard work.vdad delivered pizzas for a year before he could just work at the company, and then he still paid his employees more than he paid himself. He retired a multi-millionaire and he always put his employees first.

Been a rough day dealing with family health issues caused by an employer who disregarded OSHA and AEC guidelines. Apologies to all for the flippant post.

As a business owner I'm happy and thankful my employees and I have a job. Hard as it might be to believe, not all of us can simply 'pass' unallocated mandates on to our customers.

Are you over or under the 50 employee mark?

 

[JoseCuervo]

Josie, going to start with you since it's more fun, and easier to make you look foolish.

LMAO........ "not saying it right"...... That is some pretty much bullshit type of spin. your opinion. not sure why you think your opinion matters to me or anyone else? You clearly stated that it was on "any house you sell", and, Nemont skool'd you on your ignorance. And now, instead of telling him thanks, and sending him a check for the tuition, you mean like the ones you send me for the constant schooling I have given you? you have the audacity to call him out??? yes, called him out. why is that a problem? he wants to call me a liar or ignorant, and then writes the post he did? trying to read that was tough until he edited it. That ain't a "typo", never said I made a typo. nemont said he made a typo. but do find it interesting the way you run around telling everyone how ignorant they are because of the way they write or spell, but you never said a word to nemont. guessing since you feel inferior to him, you can't do it? or maybe you're afraid that he will start pointing out your ignorance? that is a completely ignorant statement you made. And, let's be honest, you still don't have a clue how it affects anybody. again, your opinion. if you had read the bill/law, you would know where I got my information. Spin away, spin away, and when you get done, you should send a tuition check to Nemont for the skoolin' you got. My guess is you have got more skoolin' in this thread than you have since 8th grade.... let us know when you get off your knees in front of nemont and having something important to say. because so far, you have not said anything relevant to anything. all you have done is try to ride nemonts coat tail.

In 5 years on Hunttalk, you have never learned how to use the quote function. That hurts to read.

Do you still think there is a 3.8% tax on any home sale, or did you learn from Nemont?

 

[JoseCuervo]

OUCH!!! now that is a bitch slap for ya.......have a mark on your face Josie?

Hurt my feelers a lot... Don't know if I will ever be the same. I guess me an NoHarley can't be friends.

Did you miss the part about me getting paid for keeping page views up until you start posting pictures of stuff you kill?

 

[JoseCuervo]

Ben,you do realize that making a few bucks less year after year is a piss poor business model, no?

I readily give up a few bucks each year in order to keep employees (and customers).

 

[JoseCuervo]

I don't disagree with your thoughtful response Ben...much better than the subsequent 'sux to be you' post.

Holy shit, the one member of Hunttalk who writes and reads above a 9th grade level has become infected with the stupid in this thread.
