If nothing else, law firms will make a lot of dough litigating this. I suspect it will grind up to the Supreme Court.

yup, destroy the American economy (and render as many millions of people helpless and dependent on the various federal government dole programs)....

But its not pure communism. He’s brought in dozens of patent IslamoNazis and installed them in various security and defense and policy posts....

Split your 102 person company into two companies of 51 each. in 2015 take 17 from each of your two companies and form a third company. You now have three companies of 34 each. Workforce does not have to be reduced. No harm, no foul.

Or better yet, go all 1776 on the @holes who try to enforce this abomination!

I totally agree with you - this is Atlas Shrugged. I’ve fixed it so I can lock my front door and be John Galt’s best buddy.

e IRS recently released regulations specifically barring employers from reducing staff or hours as a result of the ACA’s employer mandate.

Gee, glad we did not do that and instead downsized due to economic trends and to become and leaner and more profitable company............

It’s Orwellian. It literally boggles the mind that they believe they would have the statutory authority to author such a regulation.

“And Obama is able to change the law whenever and however he wants?”

The book of Daniel speaks about the coming evil one and he will “think to change times and laws”. “speak great words against the most high” - Obama rebukes God in most every action he takes. A time is one year, a times is two years, and the dividing of time is 1/2 year. That makes 3 1/2 yrs. he has a strangle hold on the saints (those who believe in God - Christians). It says he is “wearing out the saints” and he is surely wearing out every Christian with his unholy actions.

“Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

he, alone, knows we have 57 states

Totally unfair. Obama knows we have 58 states:

"I've now been to 57 states, I think, one left to go." - Barack Obama

I didn’t see your post before I commented. You are spot on about this being right out of ATLAS SHRUGGED.

If I remember correctly, in ATLAS SHRUGGED, business owners destroyed their own businesses rather than comply with the regime.

Directive 10-289 (May 1, 2019), in Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged, was an Executive Order drafted by Wesley Mouch, with the willing participation of James Taggart, Orren Boyle, Clem Weatherby, Floyd Ferris, and Fred Kinnon, and signed by Mr. Thompson, Head of State. Its eight points were an attempt to freeze the collapsing economy of the United States at then-current levels. Instead of doing that, it accelerated the decline, strengthened the case of John Galt and his friends, and hastened the ultimate collapse of economy and government.

Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.

Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property....

I don't know the name of the 58th state, but if we check the ballot boxes, I'll bet it voted 100% for Emperor Obama.
