If this Obamacare cost is eating into a restaurant’s profits, I can’t see many options they have. Let’s see:
* Fire some workers
* Make full timers part time
* Pass through the costs to other consumers
Can anyone think of other options?
And of course the comments from Dem voters:
I just feel like shouldnt the owner or the company pay for this? Why should I have to suffer?
One percent seems low.
Why don't the restaurants also put one or more of the following excerpts from Supreme Court opinions on receipts? Regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionally of Obamacare Democratcare, these excerpts officially clarify that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.
State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added) Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description (emphasis added), as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.
Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously (emphasis added) beyond the power of Congress. Linder v. United States, 1925.
BOYCOTT any crap server that collects this graft.
As soon as I find which ones they are, I will stay my ass out of them.
Just makes an easier decision for me to not eat out, or to to a restaurant that doesn’t have the stupid surcharge. Some people are just sheep.
That is almost an entire 1% addition tax simply to pay for an employee’s healthcare. Moreover, it illustrates how large of a portion of profits that an employer must pay for their employee’s healthcare.
The good thing about going Galt is that you will never see this since you don’t eat at restaurants. :-)
Any place that dose this will be one I don’t eat at.
