Following Tuesday night's election, Lyons Jewelers owner - R.T. Lyons - closed his jewelry store in Bedford, Virginia, with a sign posted at the front of the store which said, "Closed to mourn the loss of the America that our forefathers endowed to us."
That's right - the owner of a jewelry store temporarily closed his place down due to Obama's re-election.
He later said that he was so sad that he "just didn't feel like coming to work."
According to the news outlet WDBJ, "Lyons said he thinks Obama is undermining the principles of free enterprise. He also said he believes Obama will raise taxes on the wealthy - his customer base."
Mr. Lyons must be quite the genius. The man is worried of a profit loss due to the possibility that President Obama may raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, so he decided to erase all potential profit by shutting down his store. Yes, that would be like a person worrying that they may one day get into a painful car wreck, so prior to getting into their vehicle one morning, they kill themselves. Yup, Mr. Lyons is indeed a genius! In other news, Kay Jewelers is rumored to be altering their saying from "Every kiss begins with Kay" to "Every kiss used to begin with Kay, but no longer because of that socialist President Obama."
