Unless the companies are getting tax $$$, I don’t see how the IRS can demand this, legally.

Take it to court.

[Organic Panic]

And what if they are shedding jobs because of Obamacare? What then?

[Tony in Hawaii]

I remember seeing those “Question Authority” bumper stickers all over the place. During the last 5 years or so, I haven’t seen one.

[BuffaloJack]

Mandating Lies.
What will the government think of next?

[tbw2]

Can they just say due to economic pressures?

"Treasury: Employers must “self-attest” OCare not behind staffing decisions–under penalty of perjury..."

.... Ya ... in other words ... the benefit of the change shall go to the party faithful. Of course there is no discrimination at all in the President's decree is there? ....... oh .... wait ....

.... It's a shame nobody could bring this obvious discrimination effected by the President of the United States to the attention of the public. Yup .... a real shame.... In another era ... this might have actually been a big deal.

We need a higher minimum wage!

Obama should immediately mandate $100/hour in 2014.
And it to double every year!

Then we be all rich!

[TBP]

Illegal, but who’s going to stop them? Boner?

[El Gato]

the plans and desires of the statists would require the undermining of the rule of law, because steadily increasing arbitrary power is necessary for their centralized schemes to work.

Even with a full measure of arbitrary power, the schemes still have never worked. See former Soviet Union, China, and most especially North Korea and Cambodia.

[Jim Robinson]

and which clause of the constitution authorizes this fascist tyranny?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m sure the Chief Justice will find one.

[llevrok]

The dictator-in-chief is an absolute fool.

No. It's we the people (in general) who are fools for
1) putting our heads in the sand and
2) those of us with heads out of the sand are doing nothing but bitching.

[griswold3]

Tommy Flanagan will be doing my report.

[AD from SpringBay]

This has banana-dictator written all over it. Many of the businesses in question either a) let some people go so they can remain complian with Obamacare, or b) go out of business because they can’t afford Obamacare.

[rocksblues]

True but I don’t think you have to say why you are going to close the business. Yet!

[houeto]

Yes indeed. Jim’s tagline as I’m sure you already know.

[TigersEye]

I did not know that. No surprise.

[CPT Clay]

Yep
