Jon Stryker was one of the top five donors to the Obama campaign.
Stryker donated $2 million to Obama’s Super-PaC: Priorities USA Action
super PAC, and $66,000 directly to Obama. Now is company Stryker
Corporation is laying off nearly 1,200 workers because of ObamaCare.
Talk about karma! Next month alone (In December, before Christmas),
Stryker will lay off 96 workers. Others will be laid off in the coming
months. This isn’t even because of the ObamaCARE mandate that is causing
a lot of businesses to lay off workers and switch full time workers to
part-time. Instead, these layoffs are due to the ridiculous medical
device tax in Obamacare.
Prior to the 2012 election, Stryker contributed millions
to help Democrat candidates in his home state of Michigan. He also gave
nearly $250 million to groups supporting gay rights, transgenderism, and
the conservation of apes. In January, his Arcus Foundation donated $23
million to Kalamazoo College for an endowment to fund a center for
social justice leadership.
Stryker’s corporation is part of an industry that has been a big loser
at the hands of Obamacare. Having refused to get on board with the White
House and the Senate Finance Committee when the law was being crafted
in 2009, the medical device industry was punished with an excise tax of
2.3% of their revenues, regardless of whether they make a profit.
