Biden’s Vax Mandate To Be Enforced By Fining Companies $70,000 To $700,000?
Forbes ^ | Sep 28, 2021 | Adam Andrzejewski

President Joe Biden didn’t just announce a Covid-19 vaccine mandate on companies employing 100 or more people, he plans to enforce it.

On Saturday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House quietly tucked an enforcement mechanism into their $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill, passed it out of the Budget Committee, and sent it to the House floor.

Buried on page 168 of the House Democrats’ 2,465-page mega bill is a tenfold increase in fines for employers that “willfully,” “repeatedly,” or even seriously violate a section of labor law that deals with hazards, death, or serious physical harm to their employees.

The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine. If enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate.

Doesn't this violate the 8th Amendment "no excessive fines" ?

For the pro-jab trolls who love to declare their supposed "opposition" to mandating the jabs, is it strong enough for them to emit even feeble token protests against this...?

Also, comments on 8th Amendment violations; and equal protection violations, given the following:

Does it mention the 15k-200k people it has killed to date? Howabout the 500k-1M people with significant to serious adverse effects?

They’re doing every thing they possibly can, to destroy the middle class.

And, you know what that does to a Republic/free enterprise.

And, what about cruel and UNUSUAL punishment, as well?

What does the Constitution mean to Democrats besides toilet paper?

All part of the fascist plan to force out small business and make citizens comply. It’s easier if you have only a few business to work with you know.

“...he plans to enforce it.”

He can try with a whole lot of words, but in the area of the states he has no authority to mandate the use of health medicines due to the Constitution proclaiming it to be states rights. And as far as I know, covid is not an insurrection or a threat to any property or people he is responsible for in the health field.

If he tries, he can end up in court and I can guarantee, unless they find a liberal mouthpiece that can be manipulated, he will lose. Another bluff to make people forget Afghanistan and the southern border. They aren’t getting vaccinated and that’s an area he has charge of.

“What they cannot control, they seek to destroy.”

And another phrase we used to have when I was younger in this case used directly after yours:

‘If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit.’
