Failed Kansas Business Owner Mocks Democrats While Displaying 61 Star Flag

Payless Furniture Outlet in Lawrence, Kansas has finally, once and for all, closed their doors. But not before a few final shots could be thrown at the town they leave behind. Lawrence, KS, one of the most Democratic communities in the US has always been at odds with the rest of the state. Republicans often refer to those who come from the as "a bunch of know-it-all folks from Lawrence".  When Payless Furniture Outlet decided to call it quits, they let all of the fury out.

In long winded rants that were posted on their delivery vehicle with the building closed, owners Bob Fyfe and his son Kevin let the community know how they felt.
In a rant that equates single mothers with "welfare lowlifes" and refers to President Obama as a "hardcore marxist dictator", the owners take out some of his anger on the residents who apparently couldn't make him a successful businessman.  Photos provided by Jeffrey Brunton, a member of the business that took over the lot in Payless absence made it clear that Payless Furniture Outlet is unlikely to find ongoing customers in Lawrence Kansas.

... In one simple poster, the ownership managed to:

* Offend those with mental health issues;
* Use a flag with 61 stars..

As a business, Payless Furniture Outlet has a history of going above and beyond to attract customers.

it's hard for me to understand how Fyfe could have gone out of business.
