— Ace Well, in an economy this robust, I suppose we can afford to lose some employment.
About a quarter of businesses surveyed by consulting firm Mercer donÂ’t offer health coverage to employees who work at least 30 hours a week. Half of them plan to make changes so fewer employees work that many hours. The health care law will particularly affect companies with 40 to 45 workers that plan to expand and hire. Many are holding off so they donÂ’t cross the 50-employee threshold, says Christine Ippolito, principal at Compass Workforce Solutions, a human resource consulting firm in Melville, N.Y. Ernie Canadeo, president of EGC Group, a Melville-based advertising and marketing agency with 45 employees, planned to add 10 next year but now says he may add fewer so heÂ’s not subject to the mandateÂ…Others already over the 50-employee threshold plan to add more part-time workers or cut the hours of full-timers, says Rob Wilson, head of Employco, a human resource outsourcing firm. Many, he says, will hire more temporary workers, whom they wonÂ’t have to cover.

Fortunately I have VA health benefits that I'm about to use the bejesus out of.
Sure, I was covered under my wife's plan, but having a spouse with family cost extra - and now? with the ObamaCare hike - screw it.

As your Glorious and Most Holy King, I, Barackahmen I, do propose a new law- the Barackahamen Full Employment Act. From now on, no person shall be denied employment by any employer for reasons of Race, Color, Creed, National Origin, Marital Status, Sexual Orientation, Drug Use, Basic Proficiency in Reading or Math, or Basic Competence.

Of course, the IRS would then declare Ace a business and all of us unpaid labor or something, so I guess it's probably not a good idea.

One of the non-policy related features of Obamacare is that the consequences of it can be blamed on third parties. The law results in rational thinkers making rational decisions: cut the hours. That decision hurts employees. But it is the evil employers who made the decision to do that; the government didn't force them to do it. Just like it won't force doctors to quit or insurance companies to go out of business or compel employers to get rid of those pesky "cadillac" health plans, etc. etc. etc. The evil capitalists did it.

People are finally going to see first hand...what was in the Obamacare bill.
$1 Trillion in new O-care taxes became effective on 01/01/13.
The Dems can't blame these on the GOP.
They may try...but it will be laughable.

“In a long-awaited interpretation of the new health care law, the Obama administration said Monday that employers must offer health insurance to employees and their children, but will not be subject to any penalties if family coverage is unaffordable to workers.”
So under the Affordable Care Act, care doesnÂ’t have to actually be, you know, affordable. Gotcha.

Just got a phone call from my college Alumni Association. I told them I couldn't donate (which I have done in the past) because I've gone off the fiscal cliff. What with my taxes and healthcare premiums going up, not to mention the rising costs of inflation--yes inflation--grocery shopping is where you see that happening, I told the nice man on the phone I wasn't in a position to contribute any money this year.
This year, I have sworn that I will only donate to charities that benefit the wounded military (Semper Fi Fund being my number one) and my tithing (church and missionaries I support). Everyone else is getting nothing from me. In addition to my alumni association, I have given regularly several times a year to The Union Gospel Mission in Seattle, The American Heart Association, Medic 1, Salvation Army, American Diabetes Association, the USO, Girls on The Run, The Warm House Fund (in conjunction with my gas company), Northwest Harvest (local food bank), Keiro (a local Japanese nursing home where some of my relatives spent their last years), World Vision, Mercy Corps, Susan Komen, and other cancer organizations. No more. No more political donations either (that really turned out to be a bust this last election, and the Republicans suck, so there's that too!)
I look forward to every person who calls me trying to solicit money. I cannot wait to tell them why I am no longer contributing a penny to them. Elections have consequences, bitchez!

First proposal: maximum limit on profit per employee. If your business takes in more than $150,000 per employee, you will be required to hire employees until profit per employee is no greater than $150,000. To earn too much money per employee is a sure sign of worker exploitation.
Second proposal: ???
Third proposal: Stand against the wall, CEOs. You have no place in our just society.

Of course, the Preezy and his Merry Band of Leftist Henchmen will simply create legislation requiring that anyone who operates as a business MUST have at least three full-time employees, who are NOT family members, and that those employees must have full health coverage. Anyone who doesn't have full time employees will be considered "self-employed" -- even if they have dozens ofpart-time employees and contractors -- and will be unable to draw unemployment benefits.
And if Congress balks at that, the Preezy will put it in an EO.
This bureaucratic commie bullshit is easy when you try.

So, if you make less than $9500 as an individual you don't have to buy health insurance, right? But you still get coverage? That's millions of people unless they count welfare as income.
My insurance for two costs $9,312 annually. How does a couple pay for that on $25k a year?

Meanwhile, the National Health Service is outsourcing some of it's health services to a private sector Richard Branson owned healthcare company! Because it is unable to sustain itself under the current model. Canada is turning a blind eye to the "illegal" freestanding, private practice orthopedic surgery and MRI centers that are popping up--because there is a market for them, and people with money don't want to wait in line!

I ran with a friend last night who's a CPA for a lot of wealthy clients who live in Bill Gates's neighborhood. We were talking about the "Estate Tax" and she said "It seems so unamerican to me to punish people who worked hard their whole lives, paid tax on all of their stuff already, bought a house for 200k when they were in their 30's or 40's, and now that they're 90, it's worth several million, and their heirs get hosed when they die."
I said "Quite frankly, there's a lot of stuff going on right now that is completely unamerican."
Some days, I wonder if we still live in America any more.

In all seriousness, this is bullshit.
The young healthy people are lazy, broke and entitled. They will not pay for this shit if they could, and in reality they can't even. So bet your ass they won't.
Oh, rates will get jacked. But people aren't going to be paying them, they'll wind up on public assistance or filing for the free care.
As rhetoric, it's one thing. But in terms of reality, the idea that our children and the future generations are going to slave for years to pay off our debts, that is fucking ridiculous. We're going to inflate it. No one is going to pay for this shit. No one even could, not that anyone would want to.

Here's a little tax no one has talked about. Here in PA (and I'm sure in many states) The state has increased the employers' UC tax to replenish the coffers because they have been depleted by the UC extensions.
Being an employer is not fun right now. How are we supposed to find that money when margins are near zero already. It's canalbilize time. Workforce must shrink and efficiencies must be found. So higher unemployment on its way. This is but one small factor. Add in another twenty or so similar taxes/regulations and we start talking unemployment over 10% and that's using their fictitios figures. U6 is going to be nearing 20%.

You touch on a point that i've been making for years. The US Constitution does not require equality of outcome in people's lives, but it DOES require equal protection under the law. As the Wealthy have always afforded the best lawyers, the poor have long suffered unequally under the law as a result.
O.J. Simpson walks, while every day less rich defendants get convicted on worse evidence. Of all the things demanding socialization, it is access to the legal system. ALL lawyers should work for the government at a set wage, and legal services should be available to anyone, and they should be equally bad for everyone!!!!
Socialize the legal system! It's the LAW!!!!!

Not much. Point being, it's not young people that will pay for it, or rich people, or old people. First, no one will pay for it. Then, everyone will.

The point would be to disarm us, of course, but making millions of right-of-center Americans instant tax evaders subject to arrest is a nice plus for them. Me, I'm not paying such a tax if such a tax is somehow imposed, which will almost certainly make me a felon or a fugitive, depending on how I respond should they come for me. Not a bad thing, I suppose. If you're not a felon or a fugitive while living under the yoke of an authoritarian tyranny, you're not doing it right.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Private-sector employers shrugged off a looming budget crisis and stepped up hiring in December, offering further evidence of underlying strength in the economy as 2012 ended.
While other data on Thursday showed an increase in the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits, the trend remained consistent with steady job growth.
Comrades, there has never been temp hiring in December so all of the hires that month are good. And an increase in new unemployment claims equals steady job growth. Got it?

Yeah, but if I'm big enough that I'm doing this, it's not that hard to set up different people as the "owner" of each company.
The point is that the original board (of a larger company, remember) is the same people, pulling in the same (or possibly more) money. They all sit on each of the boards, but a different one gets to wear the Grand High Poombah hat.

I can find little in the makeup of the US which would cause God to spare us from the DOOM forged by our own hands. I highly suggest you stop looking for God to arrest this descent and assume he's the one at the stick, and subsequently assume crash position.

Total sales of both co-ops and condominiums jumped 40 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 year from the same period in 2011, according to a new report from Brown Harris Stevens. The average co-op price of $1,285,426 was 12 percent higher than a year ago, while three-bedroom and larger co-ops saw a 34 percent price leap.
"With the upcoming changes in tax laws, record low interest rates and the inventory of available apartments at 30 percent below where it was a year ago, the incredible activity in the fourth quarter was not surprising" said Hall. F. Willkie, president of Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales.
And of these people dumping property at the end of 2012, how many voted for Barry? Over 90%? I'm sure before the election they all claimed to want to pay more in taxes.

Splitting into "shell" sub-units under 40 each makes sense if the total company would only consist of 2-3 of the units.
But for a "real" big corporation. . .no.
I just really feel bad for young people today. They've just been handed a gigantic lifetime butt-screwing, in terms of higher taxes, higher unemployment, lower lifetime wages, and they don't know it.
Older folks in what now might be termed "legacy" jobs will eke by, but the good days are definitely done.

I would posit a more sinister solution to the problem. For years i've wondered how Liberals could be so stupid. Their policies cannot work long term, and when they come to a head it will be economic chaos followed by social chaos.
Then I realized, if you kill off a lot of people, you will improve the overall economic situation. Kill off freeloaders, and you won't have to feed them. Kill off the people who you owe the money to, and you won't have to pay them.
Then it all started to make sense. It's a feature, not a bug.

Does the Brady Campaign then believe that potential rape victims should be armed? If so, how would a potential rape victim know ahead of time, unless they were always armed?"

Just look in my locker. . .I've got a nice stash of ammo I built up during the LAST Obama gun panic, plus one spare AR lower I assembled. Its funny, about two year ago, there was such a GLUT of AR lowers on the market you could buy them for under $80 each.
Of course, uppers and lowers, and ammo are still available now; its just a question of COST. Cost is just higher now during the current panic/bubble. And no matter how many more gun control laws (if any) are passed, they'll still be available. . .again, just at potentially higher cost.
But that wasn't my point. The point is if you want to build an actual working firearm, the receiver is actually the EASIEST part of the gun to fabricate. The upper has the hardest to manufacture parts.
So I'm not really sure what all this obsession with AR-receivers is. If you want to fabricate a functional gun from scratch, AR isn't the way to go. You'll want, instead to build something like a Sten submachine gun, a fairly robust gun that was designed on purpose to be buildable in a simple machine shop.

Conservatives occupy the Military, Oil and Gas Industries, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Law Enforcement, and other serious jobs.
I'll put up our stack of people in combat against their stack of people any day of the week.

Thank God I got my loadout years ago. Of course, all my weapons have been mysteriously stolen or lost in the woods so I wouldn't know anything about this...

They can insure against that. They will probably have to sell off part of the land to pay for it.

This is why you incorporate the family business. Make everyone a shareholder and you avoid the nonsense. There is that bit about family in-fighting but you can just shoot them and dig a hole. Not so with the IRS.

And all this has been discussed for a while now at industry conferences along with the ramifications of the NLRB and a tidal wave of additional regulatory impacts both large to small. I tell my progressive drone buddies who post their political spam on Facebook about this stuff actually being real and not some pundit talking point and they can't seem to get their brains out of unicorn land long enough to even consider such a thing.

I believe He is intensely interested on what goes on in our little planet. Why else would He send to us His Son to save us? My point is that--save for those rare, logically inexplicable and extraordinary events we call miracles--He acts through us. When we submit and turn ourselves over to His will, we become an expression of that will, that Divine Purpose. That's what I believe, anyway. I'm no theologian, just a nobody from Nowhere, Indiana.
More practically, when I pray I don't pray for stuff or for events to go my way. I pray for qualities of character and rightness of motivation. Make me kinder, more tolerant, braver than I would otherwise be, that sort of thing.

Dear struggling hipsters about to get a brutal smack from ObamaCare that they never expected or bothered to find out about because they were too busy custom-fitting Obama kneepads and blindfolds while tossing garbage cans through small business store front windows and shitting on police cars:

Yes, like troyriser says, most of our prayers should be for our own strength and faith, that we should not be of weak character and instead do His will.
I have thought for quite some time, since George Bush's recount in Florida, that we are in a spiritual war which many do not even understand is going on.
The final numbers in the Florida recount were the same as the soldiers who followed Gideon to victor. The Supreme Court decision came down on the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and the Vision of the Virgin Mother in Mexico.
There is great evil in our nation which has infiltrated the highest levels of our government. I STILL want someone to ask Obama about the massive scar on the back of his head, since the anti-Christ will be one who survives a massive and normally fatal head wound.
Anyway, thank you for bringing a message of hope and redemption. Prayer is the best thing we can do.
