...and when that employee you hired to make your life easier discloses he is a union plant to get your other employees to join the teamsters, then damn just think of the possibilities that can happen with that 100K profit your company made last year!

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

But, wait a minute.  The USSC had the chance to hear the case to declare ObamaCare unconstitutional, and declined. They decided to let the cases work their way through the appellate system.  If they had taken the case and declared ObamaCare unconstitutional then the economy might be on the road to recovery.  Did the USSC refuse to expedite because they didn't want to help Obama's reelection chances by helping to improve the economy?

:tinfoil2:


More like they don't have the nutsack to handle anything controversial even if it is blatently unconstitutional. Their hope, as with many other things, is that the RIGHT Constutional conclusion will happen in the lower courts so their hands aren't dirty. It's just the impression I get every time they turn something of this magnitude away.

18. If the choice came down to paying it in taxes or paying the same to add
   
someone to either make my life easier as an employer or add to the business bottom line - then any business owner is going to spend the money on adding someone

It's all in how the tax codes are written, especially the ones now that don't disfavor companies adding workers over seas

Econ 101 - you'd get an F, Civics a D-

Umm, if taxes go up employers tend to let people go as opposed to hiring people.

15. You know your free to pay more taxes all on your own right?
   
There is absolutely nothing stopping you from paying whatever additional amount of taxes that you wish. You can even specifically write a check to pay down the deficit - just make it out to the Bureau of the Public Debt. There is nothing stopping you from over paying, in fact you have several options to do so.

Thank You!

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Why doesn't 0bama just sign an EO stating that every employer must boost their hiring by 10% in the next 90 days?
That makes as much sense as this crap that was posted.

If you'd tax me more, I'd hire more people - as a small business owner (and the same would apply to any major corporation) if my taxes were raised by a sufficient amount, then I may as well hire more people to do more of the stuff around the office.

If my taxes were raised $30,000 a year (not very likely in my income bracket, but just for an example) then I won't have the money in my pocket. I may as well make my life easier (and save some money) by hiring someone for that money and have them do more work that I could make money off off. Additionally, since the $30K is now deductible from my income, I may actually wind up paying less in taxes since they're based on the profit the business earns. And if all the wealthy are hiring, more people have more money to buy more of whatever product I make.

If you're making enough money now, why not go ahead and hire someone when the tax rate is lower?  You make your life easier, still provide someone an income they can use to buy goods and services, and you get to keep more in your own pocket than you would if you did the same thing with a higher tax rate.

This is why you're not a business owner.

Just stay up in Boone and shut up.

Yup--and most of them voted for Obama.

True assessment.  I have seen that go around there over and over.  They think corporations are merely there for employment.  I guess that is because many of them work in government in some fashion or get a monthly check from the government in other ways.   I think it is partly human nature.  Many, if not the majority of folks think because you own a business or two that you are rich.  Usually that is not the case for small business owners.  Sometimes, in fact, they pay their better employees more than they make.

Don't forget all business is to be in business to provide health care to their employees.

To each according to their need. From each according to their abilities.

Actually, from what I've heard, the SCOTUS is waiting to slap Obama hard for the embarassment they were given in the SOTU speech in 2010.  The bolded may be part of that.

Fact is, that's true if you're talking about government business.
Look at Rindge, New Hampshire. Everyone in town, except Jane Pitt, works for the city.
