This should concern people greatly.

Here's the new rule:

To be eligible for the additional delay, the Obama administration says an employer “may not reduce the size of its workforce or the overall hours of service of its employees” unless it can justify those reductions to the Internal Revenue Service.

key words:


To be eligible for the additional delay


if an employer doesn't want to be eligible, then they don't have to apply.

I really can't believe this. I know it's true but this President thinks he's Joe Stalin.

"Obama officials made clear in a press briefing that firms would not be allowed to lay off workers to get into the preferred class of those businesses with 50 to 99 employees. How will the feds know what employers were thinking when hiring and firing? Simple. Firms will be required to certify to the IRS – under penalty of perjury – that ObamaCare was not a motivating factor in their staffing decisions. To avoid ObamaCare costs you must swear that you are not trying to avoid ObamaCare costs. You can duck the law, but only if you promise not to say so."

You know what? If I was laying off employees, I'd hand them a copy of the news article and say "I'm not firing you because of this. I'm firing you because you dumbasses voted for him and I don't want dumbasses working for me."

You know, I'm starting to think he's deliberately handing the two houses to the GOP.

Obama is the Bernie Madoff of Politics. Before he became President he was broke. Today he's a multimillionaire and put more middle class families on food stamps and poverty than any other President in history.

A worthless President, and America knows it. Even the slobbering liberal left. They're just to embarrassed to admit it.

Since the idiot in the WH polarized Congress, all he has is his rule by decree.

The other side of the coin is anything he signs can be unsigned instantly by his successor.

Already done...part and parcel.

I no longer trust our government to allow me to enjoy the money I work for. I DO however trust them to do everything in their power to hand it off to someone who refuses to work for theirs.

If everyone would just put away the blue and red glasses we would see the plutacracy that has formed in America.
