Someone needs to remind them in real world terms about the goose that laid the golden egg, and what happens when you eat that goose.

Since obiecare describes implementation for full time employees - over 30 hours per week, expect employers to restrict hours per employee to less than 30 hours. That’s a 25% pay cut for each employee affected. Here’s hoping those employees who supported theOne saw that coming.

Nope, they can’t. They also have no logic in them at all.

Gee, if businesses could print money like the federal government does than I would have printed enough to pay my union labor who made up to 3 times more than our competitor’s labor but still did the same work. And guess what - I’d still be in business.

Saw some (and maybe I shouldn’t say this) black guy on FOX yesterday who is part of some government institute (i.e. doesn’t know the first thing about meeting a payroll) and he was pontificating about businesses not firing people due to zero’s re-election. The idiot just didn’t get that maybe these business owners were holding out for hope that help was on the way and when it obviously wasn’t, just like Benghazi come to think of it, then they announced the layoffs.

You do what you have to do.

The businesses being accused of this ought to send audited before-and-after accounts to the gummit... while normally it shouldn’t be their business short of a legally required IRS audit, in this case Uncle Sam ought to be forced to read what to most others is obvious.

Well, for starters the welfare crowd doesn’t go to Applebees. The working side might on occasion. This only affects their employees. Obamugabe strikes again.

My doesn’t Mr. Schnatter, whose product we enjoy regularly in my house, direct his stores to add a line item for each pizza for the Obamacare premium, and make sure cusotmers know that they are paying directly for that?

Change all the prices online to reflect this.

“Medium Pizza...$7.99 ($8.13 with Obamacare costs)”? Make damn sure everyone knows howmuch they are paying. If all businesses did this, it would become very clear how much this plan costs everyone.

A lot of that screeching anger is an attempt to force the world to be like they want it to be. You can't force a fantasy to become reality - and liberals are what happens when you try.

Why is is that liberals are always surprised when people with assets respond to government attempts to take those assets?

In a year or so we will be reading MSM headlines that say "Tax Hikes Unexpectedly Fail to Increase Tax Revenues."

Hear Hear! As I've posted on another thread no republican governor of a state won by Obama is calling for secession, because it's foolish! If you believe, I mean truly believe conservative principles, standards and practices are best for the country, you state your case and fight. You don't cut and run!

They only believe what their Messiah tells them. Really. There is no truth except that which is uttered from the lips of the Dear Leader.

If they get together and start a pizza business, then they can do what they wish. Papa John can do what he wishes too. This isn’t spite: it’s cheaper to pay the Obamacare tax fee than to foot the bill for the insurance. The people probably will get paid a little more however. And the pizza price won’t go up.

Conservatives WERE saying all along that if Obamacare isn't repealed, it would kill jobs. Now it IS killing jobs....just as predicted....and the mouth breathers are upset.

These are the same people who think all Republicans are rich...electricity comes from the wall...profits are obscene...the environment should be pristine...and Democrats are for the little guy...

They used to take food stamps, buy a small item and get cash for balance of it. I thought they went to credit card type cards and they didn’t get cash back anymore. Used to be quite the racket.

I like that idea. It’s similar to warning people of credit card processing fee costs that can bump up the price of a transaction.
