Thought Police: Firms must swear ObamaCare not a factor in firings

How will the feds know what employers were thinking when hiring and firing? Simple. Firms will be required to certify to the IRS – under penalty of perjury – that ObamaCare was not a motivating factor in their staffing decisions. To avoid ObamaCare costs you must swear that you are not trying to avoid ObamaCare costs. You can duck the law, but only if you promise not to say so.

But here's the larger issue:

Since when is it the reponsibility of the feds how you manage your business.

Are they some sort of de facto HR department for every small business in the country?

WHERE IN THE F#CK ARE THE REPUBLICANS???

The courts have decided that you can be any gender or race that you choose and it's not perjury, so there is nothing about the law that is objective anymore.

If I FEEL that avoiding Obamacare costs was not a factor in my decision to fire anybody, that should be good enough for the feral government.

The ONLY way to end the wave of tryanny by the irs is to eliminate it completely.

I agree, but it isn't going anywhere. Too many in this country like having the government jackboot on their necks.

Probably 20 years ago my SIL was on some kind of state board. The subject of unemployment came up. My SIL said something to the effect that policies should encourage people to work, not discourage them.

A black woman on the board told her off. Said work was not a part of the black culture and that my SIL should show more sensitivity to cultures other than her own.

This was 20 years ago.

Truth is the first thing that is not allowed in a Marxist State. It is the Big Lie-—where “Up is Down” and “Sodomy is a Virtue”.

Truth is Truth is Truth.....give it up and tell little children, Up is Down,-—guess what? They will believe it when they are adults.

Cognitive Dissonance—being lied to in childhood-—like the public schools do since they censor Christian Ethics-—removes “thinking” (Classical Education/Bible) and destroys the ability to understand Good and Evil. People with no character will do as the government COMMANDS. It devolves into irrational fascism.

As Socrates stated: Wisdom is being able to discern Good and Evil.

Our children are being programmed now into believing Evil is Good and Good is Evil-—with the Common Core/Race to the Top/Goals 2000 curricula-—actually ALL curricula which is laced with the programming of Wundtian Psychology which removes God/Truth from children-—and habituates the Marxist “worldview” so Truth will never matter even when they are adults.

They will believe whatever irrational cr(p they are fed by the State. They are conditioned to do so....and it is habituated in their “education” institutions.

The contempt for small business was aptly summarized by Hillary Clinton back in 1993, when she was pushing her plan to nationalize health care. Told that her proposals would devastate small companies, she replied: “I can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized small business in America.”

In fact - they want to be. That's one of the reasons the Left hates small business so much - they don't have fully staffed arms of the Federal Government controlling all employee affairs like large firms do.

WHERE IN THE F#CK ARE THE REPUBLICANS???

Keeping quiet as mice while they count their insurance company donations.

What is the legal justification for such a certification?

The IRS have never followed the 5th Amendment. You are required by law to present a signed 1040 which will be used against you in a court of law.

Unconstitutional in every way imaginable.

King Obama does not have constitutional authority to declare normal behavior a crime.
