Bonnie Doon Ice-Cream Goes Under Via Obamacare

Published by Papa Giorgio


Via The Blaze:

An ice cream plant in Elkhart, Ind., was reportedly forced to close its doors last Friday after its owners decided that it would cost too much to comply with Obamacare, President Obama’s massive health care law.

Now Its Serious: Obamacare Reportedly Kills Ice Cream Plant

The sluggish economy and increases in production costs have hurt business, according to the owners of the Bonnie Doon ice cream plant.

But they stressed that the new health care law was the number one factor in their decision to close up shop.

Rough sales and local construction have also forced one of the two remaining Bonnie Doon restaurants to close its doors permanently.

“I’ve been with the company for 21 years, it was my first job and I started working for them when I was 14,” said Adam Carroll, owner of the one restaurant left standing, adding that he has no plans to go anywhere.

Carroll’s Bonnie Doon restaurant used to rely on the Elkhart plant for its trademark product. But now he says he’ll have to find another supplier.

“With the Obamacare it just will affect the businesses too much so that was their main reason for shutting down the ice cream plant at this time,” he said….

One soldier, an evangelical Christian who spoke on condition of anonymity, was so troubled by the group’s inclusion that he later sent Starnes a picture of the slide. Under the headline announcing the AFA’s placement on this list, it included an image of Fred Phelps, the virulent Westboro Baptist Church preacher, holding a sign that read, “No special law for f***.”

If accurate, this description is photo’s inclusion is particularly odd, seeing as the AFA and Westboro have no official connections to one another. In fact, Bryan Fischer, who directs issue analysis at the AFA, has spoken out against the anti-gay protest group in the past.

“I love this country but I’ve had enough” ~ actor Ray Winstone

Daily Mail on Richard Branson and Daily Mail on Ray Winstone

…Sir Richard Branson has had to defend his tax arrangements after a spotlight was cast on the billionaire’s decision to move to his luxury island in the Caribbean.

The entrepreneur, one of the most public advocates for British industry across the world, has not paid taxes on non-UK personal income since moving to Necker Island in 2007.
The founder of the Virgin empire has sold or transferred property he owned in the UK to his grown-up children, Sam and Holly.

A report in The Sunday Times highlighted the lack of British tax being paid by Sir Richard, who is frequently pictured with Union Jacks and has been reported to talk disparagingly of tax exiles.

Sir Richard said, in a blog post on Sunday, that he moved to the island seven years ago for lifestyle reasons….

Another article makes the point that “Critics of Sir Richard jumped on comments he made this year that Britain’s tax system was ‘reasonable’ compared with France’s. Responding to the actor Ray Winstone’s claim that he could see himself leaving Britain because the country was being ‘raped’ by high taxes…”

New Posts Will Appear Below This One ~ Busy Few Weeks

Published by Papa Giorgio

Some may know that I work for a close friend (known since high school), and that he started a business that went from his room, to his garage, to three warehouses. I run the warehouses… and since his business revolves primarily around Halloween, I am working long days (early mornings-through-late nights), I will be posting sparingly. On top of this, I have been asked to teach this an next week at church… Yikes! So my weekly posts like “Serious Saturday” and my “Sunday Funnies” will be temporarily not posting. I consider myself blessed for my health, family, and the fact that I am employed. Blessings, and the link to get your last minute costumes is below ~ also note Largemouth Industries and Skirt Star are also up and in operation year round (as is Tragic).
