I don’t get this. If I have a company of 100 employees and I decide transparently because of Obamacare to layoff, reassign, reschedule etc. the employee pool to avoid outrageous premium increases and compliance review costs, how am I breaking the law?
I detest Obama for dictating to me that I must ‘swear and declare under penalty of perjury’ how I decide to run my business. But if I comply with the law by first restructuring my business to minimize government interference, how can I be breaking the law?
In other words why don’t employers just say “YES I DID THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE, SO WHAT?”.
It’s none of the federal government’s business how you meet your staffing requirements. What company does not make staffing decisions based on the economy, costs of employment, cost of overhead, taxes, etc. It’s not illegal to do so, fascist IRS rules or not!! FUBO!! I will not comply!! I will not subject myself to a blatant constitution violating wannabe king!!
...companies who embrace the delay can layoff, restructure, and hire part time workers, but only if they swear to the IRS they are not doing so because of Obamacare
Nobody in the Regime wants a record of how many people were laid off because of Obamacare.
I think the key here has to do with the SCOTUS "It's a tax" decision. Roberts may have done us all a favor. (Probably unwittingly so)
If a tax, it must be applied uniformly. If a mandate, then all kinds of restrictions and conditions may be applied. If it's a Mandate, then it's unconstitutional.
Is Roberts waiting for a case?
I look forward to a response.
