But on the odd chance that you are actually telling the truth, I'm sorry man. It must really suck to find out you're in the bottom 3% of workers in your company. I'd sure hate to be told that out of 51 employees, 49 are better than me.

Good knowing that there are 49 other workers more valuable than you? Hey, you're in the top 96%!

Just look at how ignorant the left is. They go out of their way to insult the OP by suggesting he is less valuable when it could be a matter of seniority. They also think all companies with less than 50 people make no money.

WOW. That's harsh. Most small businesses don't keep people around who don't pull their weight. You are thinking of government jobs.

LoL, doubtful...I call horse crap.

No business in their right mind will go around firing people less then 24 hours after the bill is passed, and not even signed. Especially when they don't know what their costs will be under the plan (they might get better tax advantages under the plan), what things are likely to change under implementation (which it often does), and likely if they have that many employees that need to be working to provide output that crippling themselves for the next 4 years based on what might happen is psychotic (especially without running the numbers with an accountant).

I would doubt this person has ever looked over a balance sheet, let alone dealt with tax planning.

I see that fear mongers will stoop to any lie in order to try and push forward negative propaganda against their opponent. That actually turns me off even more to the counter arguers to this bill, and the negative sentiment of the position. I'm not sure what kind of person would believe a person who screams they have peoples best interests at heart, with their only proof being to lie, mislead, and scare.

Do you always call people by their middle and last name, or do you make an effort when the name is one you don't like, because of your narrow minded world view?

And go where??? Do you realize that there are people in this country who have given up looking for work because they can't find it and people who have been looking for 2 years or more? What is going to happen with these tax credits when China starts dumping our debt? They have threatened to start dumping our debt already.

There will probably be some modifications to business plans when all of the ramifications of health care become known. However, I would be the first to turn in my resignation if I worked for a company that would act before knowing 1) what the bill really means and 2) before any of the provisions would take effect anyway.
