Tax increases. A sudden, catastrophic rise in their healthcare-associated overhead, from the paperwork and record-keeping requirements if nothing else. Foreign-exchange rates crapping out overseas buying because the Fed decides to inflate the Dollar, which makes it harder/more expensive to secure product from outside the US. The new requirement that -all- supplier-to-retailer transactions over $600.00 be accompanied by a 1099, right down to restaurants ordering food and Staples ordering staples. Mr. Obama's and Congress's anti-business attitude in general. The possibility of mandated paid vacation days. All this stuff increases the amount of money they have to pay out, some of it by quite a bit.
