The purpose behind this directive is so that Obama and Obamacare won’t look bad.
Just flip this around and you get what is really intended -
companies will be penalized for SAYING that they fired people because of Obamacare.
Yeah, I guess our legal guy can say, “We fired 8 employees because they are too stupid to work here. I mean, they voted for Obama. Obamacare thresholds had nothing to do with it!.....I swear and affirm!”
