Of course. That's because Obamacare isn't intended to HELP anybody (except the Democrat politicos). DEMS DON'T CARE ABOUT EMPLOYMENT... THEY CARE ABOUT CONTROL OF THE HOI POLLOI AND THEREFORE THEIR VOTE.
Of course. The only time employees have "the upper hand" is when there is no competition and the union can hold the employer hostage/extort him for higher wages. The only place employees have any real leverage is where required employee skills are VERY high and there is no replacement capacity... like pro sports teams. The WORLD is awash in excess labor capacity. In the general economy, employees should never have any real leverage again. Economics 101.
i was off on that. the employer mandate is a straight $2000. still cheap for the employer to get a benefit usefull to his employees. Penalties For Failure To Insure For firms which do not offer insurance any insurance, have more than 50 employees, and have at least one employee receiving insurance subsidies, they must pay a tax of $2000 per subsidized employee. The tax is applied to all of a firmâs employees (after excluding the first 30), not just those that are subsidized. For example a firm with 51 employees would pay $42,000 in new annual taxes, and an additional $2,000 tax for every new hire.
and an additional $2,000 tax for every new hire. -------------------- You know what I see happening here? Pay for a job. You want to work here, cough up 2k and you're hired. Why I'll even lend you the money and you can pay over 52 weeks.
