Boortz just told a story about a friend of his. He has a company with 53 employees. He's lining up 5 of then to fire this morning. How did he select the ones to fire to ostensibly avoid the Obamacare requirement? They all had Obama bumper stickers. Maybe this will be a trend for those greedy employers.

Anyone who finds this funny must aso be a Taliban sympatizer. We send our military to try and give those living under the Taliban the right to vote and determine their furture. Yet, we have those in this country who want to surpress the greatest freedom we have....the right to vote. Since Obamacare is not effective till 2014, I am quite sure attrition between now and then will reduce the payroll from 53 to 50.

Probably better described as irony since it will hurt the folks the most that need coverage and earn less. The base year for Obamercare is 2013 so the layoffs will start immediately now that he's in.

The stories are growing daily. Locally an old respected recognized contractor eliminated all retirement contributions - either to be able to pay the additional tax load or maybe he's compensating for additional health care costs. I think the largest initial pain will be felt by full time workers being cut back to under 30 plus no benefits to get under the 50 mark. Of course this all was designed to happen after the election like may other things but the upshot may be to convert socialists to a capitalists...I hope.
