Re: John S — one of your 2 jobs offers a $150/week insurance… Yet after working 2 jobs you only take home $75 max? Do you only work 4 hours a week at these jobs or something? Why even work. Prob pay more in gas to get to and from

Don’t forget the people who will stop looking for work because they drop out and join the underground economy. After all, if people will pay you cash to do stuff for them, you avoid dealing with any of those bureaucracies or government at all.

If the dumbass Obama would read his Obamacare bill he’d discover that almost everyone is exempt from his “no insurance” tax. You only pay the “penalty” if the lowest cost insurance available to you is less than 8% of your income. In my case one of my two jobs offers insurance. The lowest cost plan is $152 a week. My take home for this job? $74 a week, which will be $55 a week after the Bush tax cut expire.

I think it was Ronald Reagan who said that the Democratic approach is: if it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.

…… pass laws making it harder for companies to fire or lay off people

They already have them, they’re called unions.

Some idiots are already calling companies laying people off or cutting them to part time racist or saying that they’re throwing a tantrum. (Because business owners love to destroy everything they worked to build to make a political point.)

If you follow these liberals’ “logic”, the next clear step is to pass laws making it harder for companies to fire or lay off people. This, of course, will result in chronically high unemployment (just like Europe) because even in good times, businesses will be reluctant to hire people they might not be able to get rid of in bad times.

And the downward spiral continues. . . . What’s that? Oh, sorry. I got that wrong. “Forward!”

The effects have already begun where I work with insurance costs. Starting next year we will have higher co-pay (50% increase), higher deductibles, overall higher costs, and all kinds of surcharges for health factors and the like.
