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.

When this obozo government keeps peeing in our faces and telling us its just rain, the last thing we should do is open your mouths.

Yup. And our so-called courts backed that up. People have gone to prison for claiming that right.

Because the government is allowed to lie to you but you cannot lie to the government.

As Judge Napolitano told Megyn Kelly---Obama "creating" laws is not within his purview.

It is an outrage that businesses who respond to the IRS WRT employment practices--could be charged w/ perjury.

===================================================

AS USUAL, WHAT HE DOES IS ALWAYS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE SAYS His SOTU speech urged Congress to “give America a raise.”....now it turns out America's getting a $70 billion annual "pay cut," courtesy of Obamacare.

Too bad for wage-earners---yet, the parasitic Obamas live in the lap of luxury, sucking off the backs of struggling Americans.

The Obamas are itinerant, luxury-loving parasites, living high, greedily sucking at the public teat......(wire-transferring a bundle offshore for a cushy retirement and to finance Mrs O's political ambitions?).

NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for M/M O to live large on the taxpayers' dime: a grand total of $1.4 billion per year:

Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million). $100 million alone for the African apology tour.

==========================================

$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.

There's the $100 million trip to Africa not including the foreign aid billions O handed out to these oil-rich satraps. There's serial Ohaha vacations costing taxpayers millions---- (the low estimate Hawaii vacays is $4 million each, but is probably five times that); the pricey Martha's Vineyard stays; Mrs O's costly trip to elite Marbella w/ an entourage of 30.

Mrs O's $3900 PER NIGHT in Ireland PLUS 30 more rooms for her entourage.

Ireland's Grace Kelly hotel suite.

=======================================

TAXPAYERS SUFFERED RUINOUS HEALTHCARE CANCELLATIONS--BUT THEY PAY $7 MILLION FOR THE OBAMAS HEALTHCARE---NRO found the first family’s yearly health-care costs Americans $7 million; the reason why only Boobamba himself was "enrolled" last month --and not his family.

Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Her diamond Gothic cuff priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.

Mrs O wowed all the "tolerant and compassionate" Dems who hate the rich and support endless tax-paid programs "for the poor."

===============================================

Mrs O has 24 assistants at her beck and call. Her
wardrobe, nails and hair pieces subsidized w/ tax dollars
of struggling Americans.

boehner and cantor and ryan are all rolling over on their backs to pass a "clean" debt ceiling now that their surrender on immigration has failed.

They let their paymasters down on cheap labor and so they want to make it up w/ more cheap money.

Some company with some cojones out there needs to fire a bunch of people, say openly “Yes, it was because of Obamacare”, and then file a 14th. Amendment suit when they do not get their waiver.

Companies that can afford to do so will just gradually phase out their USA based operations and escape to a less oppressive country.

Just like Mag-Pul has decided to Escape From Colorado.

When you lie to the government, use as few words as possible, preferably their words. But lie indeed, for that is the only way to keep your liberty and property.

I would swear that I just did it to piss Obama off, and getting the waiver was pure gravy.

The next development will be that you have to certify that the reason you didn’t expand your workforce above the threshold was to avoid Obamacare costs...even if you had no expansion plans to start with.

We have 107 employees. CIO/CEO/COO in the elevator laughed at BHO extending Obamacare to 2016 for companies with 50-99 people. CEO said, "we need to fire 8 people I guess to delay this abomination for a year".

I said, "I'll get you the names of employees with Obama stickers tommorrow morning"
