US27inKS has a spectacular aura about US27inKS has a spectacular aura about
Obama's take the day off work to vote nonsense.

I put a calculator to this. If all of Obama's supporters do what he says and take the day off work, what would be the impact to our economy?

191,000,000 taxpayers in this country. The median income per household in the US is 50,233 so if we figure that every household has 2 income earners (they don't but for arguments sake) and half of them took the day off. The lost wages for Obama day would add up to approximately $9,480,285,000. Talk about good for the economy. Even better, the employers would lose many times what the employees make. If my employees took the day off it would cost me almost $3000 for the day, and I have a VERY small business. Then I would have to spend more money to recruit new employees after I fired them.
