From what I got from the report was this was kind of the last straw for her. When they showed her youtube clip complaining about her pay, I was shocked they didn't let her go then.

As a business owner I can honestly say you have no clue as to what you're talking about.

As a business owner myself, I can tell you that a majority of this country considers Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and other pundits (John Stewart, Rachel Maddow) actual news. We've lost sight of what news commentaries or editorials are. It's been tough, because these people, with the exception of John Stewart, purport themselves as actual news.. and when they report things wrong they run behind their "entertainment" badge. They know that they influence people in the country including and especially politicians.

So when they say,  "The government plan is so expensive, it adds $1.79 per hour to the cost of a full-time employee." - Rush Limbaugh 11/2012, that's really frightening to all business owners, me included. $3723.20 per employee, per year, the day the plan goes into effect. Just taking this statement at face value.

But let's look at how it really works...

If employers who employ over 50 people decide to provide a low cost health insurance option for their employees, they pay nothing. No tax, no demands to pay portions of the cost of the health care. They just have to "offer" it. Of course, if the business decides to pay a portion of the cost, they would incur that charge. But it's totally up to the business to decide whether that makes sense for the business.

If an employer who employs over 50 people decides AGAINST providing a low cost health insurance option for their employees, they would incur a tax penalty of $2000 per employee, or .97/hour for a full time employee. A far cry from the $3723.20/$1.79. IF that employee decides to get health insurance on their own, because their employee does not offer anything, there is supposed to be a system in place (the reason for this 1 year delay) for the government to tax an additional $1000 for that specific employee. So an employer could see a tax burden of up to $3000/year per employee who purchases health insurance, only when their company does not offer it.

If an employee decides to purchase health insurance because they don't like their employer's options, or for whatever reason, but the employer DOES offer insurance; that employer pays nothing.

Small businesses who employ less than 25 people could actually earn a tax credit for offering insurance. The tax credit, I assume is to offset any cost to pay a portion of the cost for the employee. But I don't see anything that states that any employer MUST pay a portion of the insurance cost. They just have to OFFER it.

Pundits rely on fear to continue to bring the ratings in. They want to keep you afraid and mad so that they can pretend to be mad with you and offer "facts and solutions" to problems that really don't exist, in most cases. They rip apart statements, take them out of context, to prove a point. They provide commentary, opinions, very little facts and call it "news".

I'm not shocked to see this story. It's typical of a Fox News affiliate to report on something that hit its peak a year ago..

I don't seem to have that problem (people not showing up when they say they will). Since renting my store, I don't go anywhere to meet people, they come to me. If they don't come, it goes back out on the floor, or it gets retagged. If I have multiple interested, I just move onto the next person. I'm just starting out on ebay (again), and I think it is much harder for a noob to sell on ebay than it is for an established seller. I've listed more products that didn't sell than ones that did. I'd much rather just stick with craigslist, however certain items just do not sell on there, in my area. Items like collectibles, fine china, and small antiquey type items don't move on craigslist, around here.

Friend of mine bought an 82 Winnebago at an auction and had to scrap it. He got $600. It was a big one too!

We all know that there are elements of these shows that are put on, or embellished for ratings. Reality TV has really become the most unreal parts of our society. Nobody wants to see real, reality because that would be boring. Imagine if a TV crew were following your auctions in your area. Nobody would watch it! They want the drama that guys like Big Steve brings to the NY show, or whatever form of sex appeal that the girls bring to any of the shows. You know how big of a sex symbol Brandi has become? It's huge how much sex sells TV shows.

That's an amusing cover. I don't get the hype over the birth. I understand it's an heir to the throne. However, how relevant is the throne? It's not since they became a democracy. Now the Cambridge family (the real last name of the royal family) is just England's most rich and famous family. The things that keeps the throne alive is history and tradition. Tradition will be broken eventually, and history.. well, it's good for books..
