Defense contractors, who of course didn't build their businesses either, are poised to assist the president in his jihad on businesses. There's no doubt defense contractors will be laying off hundreds of thousands of voters just in time for the November election. Like everything else, the president would prefer they learn of their unnecessary departure from the ranks of the employed AFTER the election. How revealing!
