Say goodbye to Twinkies

About 1000 before taxes average I would say, Summers were leaner with AC bill so high and sales lower. Not terrible for one location but nothing I cant make working 40 a week for someone else until we get some sanity on spending and taxing. Now figure what Obama care will cost small business and I can't see some making it.

A lot of pet stores are still mom and pop and work off these numbers. Reptile stores were similar with a 300% mark bu tons of overhead. They mostly live off selling feeder mice and rats which is the smell you get in a reptile shop.

If they don't give waivers to a lot of small business Obama care will kill them IMO. If you apparently have a small bus making "obscene" profits to afford a big house and boats like some here then I guess you can just downsize the toys and move to a smaller house or lay off a few people your choice....

Here's what's wrong with your thinking and that of many who think Obamacare is going to kill them.

First hand now so hang on....

It's not going to cost me anything. I don't have 50 employees. I already provide insurance and since Obamacare passed my premiums have stabilised rather than continuing their 15-30% annual increase.

Even if it were going to cost me a couple grand per employee, I wouldn't cut back on boats of toys one freaking bit. I'd do a little more advertising. I'd try to pick up one additional little remodel job per year. I'd raise my prices, but the one thing I wouldn't do is give up and resign myself to a life of willingly being misinformed and cry about it.
