The problem is what when he shipped out, he left behind the contracting business he spent 15 years building.

“I realized a 90 percent cut in pay. Now, I don’t know anyone that can continue on with the bills at one tenth of their income. It’s really tough,” said Rodriguez.

“The day after Oscar was deactivated from duty, the Bank of America started foreclosing on my house,” said Oscar. They didn’t succeed, but the collections left his business, his credit and his marriage in shambles.

5. Republicans hate small business owners

the bs about repukes 'luving' small business is as believable as repukers loving minorities and atheists. Sad. Tragic. Unnecessary - the guy should have NEVER been made active duty. Guess he wasn't rich enough. :eyes:
