They travel across the nation in support of Hospitality Renovations and U.S. National Construction, which will both continue operating.

The business sells to nine states and Peterson also plans to continue operations.

Obama held a gun to their head and took all their money, now he's offering a percentage of it back. Since they agree to accept their own money, it proves that they fully support Obamacare.
FREE health care. Who can argue with that? :P
"For the first time in thirty years, Social Security payouts exceeded non-interest income in 2010 and 2011. The difference between the money coming out and going in was about $45 billion dollars in 2011. While there is "extra" money in the Social Security "bank account" called a "trust fund," to offset the difference, the number of beneficiaries will continue to grow at a substantially faster rate than the number of covered workers.
The Board of Trustees estimate that in 2033 all the money in the Social Security "bank account" will be depleted. That's three years earlier than estimated just last year. This means that workers in their forties fifties today may not have access to the Social Security benefits that they've paid into when they retire."
What this article says is "This can not continue".
The Republicans blinked first and lost elections due to their desire to "end social security". Both parties will now just sit and stare at each other on this issue while it falls apart.
For those who don't like welfare programs, looks like you've got about 20 more years before they start crumbling.
Someone here said that all of this has been happening for awhile, and they are correct. Obama just greases the skids. The good news for these two, is that if all of their businesses fail, they can get just about everything they need absolutely free from the government.
The election was just another reason for backwoods, low information (stupid) voters to point the finger in blame at other people for why they cannot advance in today's America.
Here's a hint to your problems: Its you. Not Obama. You are your own problem, so deal with it.
BTW, I did not realize that the phrase "redneck" was a "slur" and did not intend for it to be taken that way. I thought people wore that word as a badge of honor. I guess not.
Good luck..Nice to hear someone is gainfully employed and bettering themselves..You sir, aren't the problem.

Same woman, Voter, who has used every racist term she could think of when addressing blacks who don't fall in line with her slavery of food stamps and government cheese, then calls others racist whenever they criticize someone who voted for Obama with no reference to race.
Same woman, Voter, who tries to find the identity of every poster so that she can find a skeleton in their closet and then use it to define that person every time they post.
A vile, despicable creature, but a daily reminder of what lurks behind those government checks, food stamps and high honorable reverends that keep blacks enslaved to poverty.
Absurd.

We've been dumbed down and are reaping the benefits.
let's tax those folks making 250,000 who are making a House payment and saving for College while paying off student Loans..But wait, Let's tax them again with a Marriage tax..
Soup line will begin soon for ALL folks-maybe we can let Usher butt in line?
If you can't go to college now and better yourself and your family, it's your own fault..
Same goes for learning a Trade and being good at what you build..
There's a Nurse shortage and with ObamaCare kicking in-There's soon to be a SHORTAGE in every part of healthcare.
Like a business selling bath salts and bubblewash would succeed in Cedar-podunk-town Georgia, anyway! Quit pushing your failures on the outcome of the election, if Romney won you would still go in debt... face it! Pathetic.
Great article, thanks for the heads up: I will never support a business that pushes their failures on others.
Should be good times.
We hate to see them leave because you've never seen a gift wrap like Pink Sugar did. It was so impressive that the gift sometimes took a backseat. We bought many things there,especially gifts.
They were a bit different...they kept a partisan political sign on their movie marquee. That had to alienate a large portion of the locals. I believe their failures had more to do with a economy that has not recovered fully from...well, we know about that.
I know MANY business owners that are downsizing to escape the mandates of Obamacare. I am sure that is not the case here. Owners are downsizing everywhere. Not to worry folks. The government will take care of us all.
Romney would not have helped either just so you will know. Our politicians are not the problem. We are the problem. Our citizenry expects others to take care of us. We have now reached the tipping point where more people are sitting in the cart than are pulling it. Our politicians, republican and democrat, are purchasing our votes with our own money. We are so stupid.
Oh! I almost forgot. We are being forced to buy one cheaply crafted and overpriced product.
Obamacare.
The Darden corporation-Olive garden-Red Lobster and Longhorn are cutting employees to 29 hours per week so they won't have to pay their healthcare under ObamaCare..I'm sure most of those folks will be looking for part-time work elsewhere to supplement their income..
Scream all you want, when you start taking the money that people earn, and they start seeing how unfair the system is, they will find ways to avoid your taking it.
For those of you who have ever had health insurance, do you remember how you are asked for your co-pay prior to service. Did you know that medicare has rules about when and where offices can ask for the patient portion? And if the office demands payment prior to service, Medicare will threaten to drop the provider? Yep. Government Healthcare.
Years ago I worked as a dishwasher at a Red Lobster in another town. The manager figured out that if we turned the heat down on the water (below safe levels), we could unload the dishes faster. Patrons may have gotten food poisoning, but the restaurant saved a few pennies.
Things haven't changed much, apparently.
