I think you have it exactly backwards. Too few employers will publicly make the connection to fired workers that Obama’s re-election + Obamacare are the drivers for this decision. Why should they be candid? It sets up the company for IRS harrassment and worse.

I’ve been amazed w the number of employers already willing to finger Obama. These are brave people.

It is up to us and conservatives on TV to spread the message.

My brother’s company helped all their employees who qualified to get on Medical for their families health insurance. It was cheaper than their own insurance,but they are also laying off people to get the headcount down for Obama care.


Good for him to help them, bad in the end for them as their will be fewer employees , and potentially less hours due to what I understand is a 30
Hour interpretation vs a traditional 40 hour work week.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/robert-samuelson-obamacares-rhetoric-vs-its-reality/2012/10/21/c6b95560-1a17-11e2-aa6f-3b636fecb829_story.html

Just recently, the Internal Revenue Service issued an 18-page, single-spaced notice explaining how to distinguish between full-time and part-time workers under the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). The difference matters, because the act requires employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide health insurance for those workers. At the same time, no company has to buy insurance for part-time employees, defined as those working less than 30 hours a week.

There should be one of those E-cards that says;

"From all of us freedom loving capitalist we just wanted to say "told you so!" We are doing it now while you have that silly O-grin on your faces because soon when you are really hurting it would be too cruel."

Those people all get checks from YOU.

The best way to make those people suffer is to stop funding their checks. Boycott their companies, buy used, buy from other conservatives when you can. Avoid taxes whenever possible.

They will just change the definition of unemployed. They will put millions more on disability. They will stop counting millions more.

The local FOX broadcast station talks about the GOP’s “fiscal cliff” and how spending cuts would hurt the economy but they never talked about the mass layoffs going on.

So.. ask yourself why you are paying $40 a month for high speed internet when the government forces you to subsidize others? Time Warner now advertises to parents of school-age kids who are “poor” can get hih speed internet for $9.95 a month guaranteed price for 2 years.

Don’t worry, this is why they collect those new fees from the suckahs.

Layoffs? Plant closings? Massive unemployment looming?

The capitalist wreckers, wealthy exploiters, filthy saboteurs, and hooligans are trying to destroy the Proletariat and thwart the Will Of The People again.

No doubt our Dear Leader is going to really do something about that at last! He and our comrades will make an example of these murderers, vandals, and running dogs - and soon!!

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE AND THEIR HEROIC VANGUARD!!!!

exactly. it will be success.

does anyone remember Mooshell in 2008? Before their advisors shut them up?

She proclaimed against “middleclassism” (American Dream) telling people to work for non-profits and as communith organizers instead of trying to make more money

“the part time side job he works in just told him they were cutting hours....this a job that we simply can’t afford a pay cut :(”

Let me add a quick prayer for you:

Father, I pray for RoseofTexas and her husband. Please take this situation with the cut hours and turn it around for them. Open up doors, send blessing, send your peace and your Presence. You are not hindered by this economy, so I ask that You would provide a path for them. Thank You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There’s still a Motorola? (I was working there when we met on that FReeper cruise. Had been for 20 years.) The only Motorola I know of is “Motorola Solutions.”

I wonder how long Obama will use that trope?

Here's a hint, FRiend: They still blame Herbert Hoover.
