\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Tom in South Bend, Indiana. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to speak with you. I\u2019ve been listening since I was 15 years old.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate it.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I am 22 years old. I\u2019m married. I have two wonderful children, young children. I\u2019m a manager at a national fast food chain, and a very famous chain. I wanted to let you and your listeners know, we have a policy concerning Obamacare. We had to deal with the mandates that anyone who\u2019s a full-time employee, which is now defined as, I think, 32 or 35 hours a week, you\u2019re required to give them health insurance. Well, at a fast food chain we just can\u2019t afford to do that for every 16, 17, you know, 18 or 19-year-old who comes in for a minimum wage job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We simply can\u2019t afford it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: And that\u2019s not a surprise to anybody. I mean, this was expected to happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. That\u2019s right. And that\u2019s what they\u2019ve voted for<\/a>. This is the great compassion from the liberal side. But what all their compassion is gonna get us in the end, and this is one for your jobs czar, everyone\u2019s hours are gonna get cut to under 30 hours a week. So basically you\u2019re gonna be making around 150 bucks a week at the end of the day. So anyone\u2019s who\u2019s trying to support their family on 150 bucks a week, they can go thank the liberal compassionate Obama administration for that one.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is going to be interesting to see if, in fact, Obama gets blamed for this. I know it\u2019s Obamacare, but I just want to warn you, I just want to warn you what\u2019s gonna happen. The secretary of Health and Human Services and the president of the United States, vice president, are not gonna just sit there and let your fast food chain blame them for people losing their health care and maybe their jobs. It\u2019s going to be your fault. Call the Papa John\u2019s pizza guy if you want to find out what\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, our employees are already blaming us. We\u2019re letting them know —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re gonna try to blame it on Obama. “No, no, it\u2019s not us.” And they\u2019re gonna say, “Why do you have to make so much profit anyway? What\u2019s more important, profit or my family? Profit or my health care? Profit or my job? You don\u2019t care about me. I\u2019m just a piece of meat to you. You throw me away so you can protect your profit. Obama\u2019s right. You\u2019re worthless pieces of trash here.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna say about you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It will be interesting to see when they go to other places and find that this isn\u2019t just happening at our chain, this is happening everywhere in the entire country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. And that\u2019s because American big business is immoral and cares only about itself.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s right. Of course.<\/p>\n

RUSH: American small business cares only about itself. They don\u2019t care about the employees. Obama\u2019s told you that. And this is gonna prove it. They\u2019ve never cared about you. You\u2019re the manager, you\u2019re set. You\u2019ve got yours. It\u2019s easy. You lay people off. You fire people, tell \u2019em you don\u2019t have the money for their health care. They\u2019re gonna say, “Why don\u2019t you give yours up too, buddy?” That\u2019s how it\u2019s gonna play out. Obama\u2019s not gonna get the blame for this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, and this is exactly how they win the culture war, Rush, because now he\u2019s just feeding them out of his hand \u2019cause he told them we were evil and we didn\u2019t care about them —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — so he was right from the beginning; he knew it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So guess what happens? These people that are now gonna lose their health care or not get it because of the cutbacks and changes at your company, guess what? The federal government\u2019s gonna magically have a policy for them. Somehow, some way, Obama will be seen as the savior. You have dastardly and mean-spiritedly, extremely cut \u2019em off. You\u2019ve reduced their wages. You\u2019ve taken \u2019em off the health care plan. You\u2019ve closed down, but management still has theirs, and ownership still has theirs, and government will find a way to come to the rescue for these people. But not immediately. I mean, Obama wants the chaos and the pain. He wants a little bit of this blaming you and your company to go on. And if you don\u2019t believe me on that, ask anybody who worked at AIG what happened. <\/p>\n

You\u2019re sitting out there and you\u2019re making the mistake a lot of people make, that facts matter, that truth is undeniable. The fact of the matter is, this is only happening because of Obamacare. This is only happening because of Barack Obama. This is only happening because the Democrat Party has instituted new policies that you can\u2019t possibly afford. But you\u2019re a small business or a big business. You can afford anything. You\u2019re rolling in money. It\u2019s all going into your back pocket, into your big house, your second car, whatever. They see the trappings of your wealth or your company CEO\u2019s wealth or whatever. I\u2019ve seen this. We\u2019re in the middle of it happening now. I\u2019m not trying to scare you. I\u2019m trying to prepare you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, the funny thing is, we were on the verge of expanding before this Obamacare stuff came down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, let me just tell you, the first time our company stock has ever lost money in the history of our company has been in this quarter.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then you deserve to.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ha.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s payback time. You deserve to. Everybody else is losing. Why shouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we didn\u2019t build this. This is only because of the roads and bridges —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, you didn\u2019t build it. The hosts at MSNBC are gonna start steering people to your restaurants to raise hell. The unions, any number of people are gonna start using these circumstances to create a little chaos and a little commotion out of all this. At the end of the day, they\u2019re still gonna end up with less money and no health care. In an old world, yeah, it would count for something. But they will be able to vent that anger at having less money and no health care at the people they think are responsible for it. And they\u2019ll be made to feel better by unloading on the people they think are responsible are responsible for it. It\u2019s a dastardly thing. Thanks for the call, Tom. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
