It didn’t take long. The layoffs and closings are piling up. The saddest thing about compiling this list is that by the time today is over, the list will probably have grown dramatically.

The next saddest part is that at least some of these lay off employees voted for Barack Obama because they didn’t believe this would happen. These are more than just headlines. Every number represents real people who have lost their livelihood.

“A LOT of business will be “off the books”, so as not to be subject to taxation...”

Hence, the need for IRS agents to have a LOT of ammo.

I remember reading a while ago that the employee number Hussein's healthcare will use to force healthcare on employers, will be the number of employees in early 2013, even though it starts in 2014 - companies have to report the number to the govn. in early 2013. That will be the employee number the IRS will use for fines if the company doesn't give the employees healthcare.

I believe it is by March 2013 that companies have to report their numbers. IIRC

This is just going to destroy small businesses, there is absolutely no incentive to growing your company beyond a certain size anymore.
