In other words, no, your ass is not the one on the line, the one paying the bills, the one taking the bite.
I have two employees.
You condescend to pronounce: If ... you would find an extra $295 per employee per year in labor costs to be onerous burden, then you probably should be doing something else for a living, as that would be a sure sign that you're not very successful.
Oh, REALLY! Well excuse me for living. Excuse me for being successful enough to pay our mortgage, our insurance, our bills, our taxes, our modest expenses because we live humbly and simply, by creating out of scratch products that people actually buy from me and my business' other employee. Curiosity, I'll bet that you have never paid your mortgage with money earned from something you conceived and produced from scratch and sold to someone who wanted or needed it. I HAVE.
AGAIN, you present the perfect illustration of the limitations, naivete, presumption, and high-minded arrogance of Romney people who presume that they know what's best for everybody else, that THEY are smarter than anyone else, more capable of judging what kinds of success determine what someone should be doing for a living.
Yipes. The more I learn about the mindset and so-called "free enterprise" philosophy of Romney supporters, the more I am motivated to alert as many fellow Republicans as possible to the fraud that is Romney.
You would not have been subject to the $295/employee surcharge. You need to have eleven or more to be affected.
For the record, I'm not defending the surcharge. Romney vetoed it, and I would have opposed it too had I been in government at the time.
I'm just pointing out that for a business grossing $500K per year, it's a peanuts.
Since your business is nowhere near that size, you're in no better position than I am to judge it than I.
I see you are still wrestling our “Economist”
My daddy always had a saying so to speak about “economic experts’.
“Son when they move into our neighborhood I might listen to them”...
Thinking about a dollar is one hell of a lot different than making one.
