Small businesses knowing that Obama intends to punish them for having
employees by way of his 8% fee unless they pay for health care should
take measures right now.
1. *Plan for no growth or even negative growth.
2. *Lay of workers now while you can. *Soon, Obama will make it
difficult to do so.
3. *Instead of growth, consider licensing your stuff to a foreign
company. *This way you do not have to pay employees or pay Obama’s 8%
tax.
4. *If you really want to increase revenues, pay a foreign company to
do what you would do in the USA and then buy it from them.
5. *Do not invest in anything in the USA. *Instead, buy stocks in
foreign companies.
6. *Do not feel bad about living this way, the Dems are trying to
punish you for being an employer so screw em and their voters.
In my case, I have stopped manufacturing and have simply licensed our
tech to a foreign company and they pay royalties. *Sure beats paying
payroll taxes and the hassle of employees and worrying about Obama’s
punishing me for being an employer. *I need a new thing developed but
instead of hiring someone to do it, I found I could pay a company in
India to develop it and then simply give me the drawings. *I wonder
how high unemployment will have to get under Obamanomics before it is
cheaper to pay people here than paying people in India?
You're using the threat of health care to justify having moved your
business offshore?
I can't imagine not covering my employees with health insurance. *It's
damned expensive and a pain in the ass but among the ways that I can
show them that we care about them and their family's welfare.
I have the ability to send my programming offshore. *I'd risk being
insolvent before caving to cheaper labor. *That's un-American to me.
Kind of like someone who would make up stories about Japanese/German
screwdrivers instead of buying good old "Merkin ones..

There are many other manufacturers too, but of course, they aren't
politically correct I guess.. Pffffttt
Dude, nobody believes anything you say. Well, maybe Donnie and Harry
do, but they are in your club anyway...
I have no problem Offering reasonable health insurance (big deductable
and large co-pay) but Obama wants me to offer a gold plated health
plan I cannot afford and then threatens to charge me 8% of revenue if
I do not. Simple solution is to get rid of employees. Now, I can
either hire someone who I will have difficulty laying off when things
go bad AND have Obama punish me for not buying a gold plated health
plan OR, I can simply contract with the guys in India to make the
circuit for me, it is a no-brainer.
Recently, the IRS started ragging on me about our SIMPLE retirement
plan so I thought about it and decided that since I do not
participate, why should I give the IRS further reason to make my life
difficult so...........end of SIMPLE. I save money and make my life
easier. You see, when you make business too difficult, some of us can
simply walk away. I mean, I was giving my people a free 5% match of
their contribution but the IRS decided to be a PITA, well, I figure no
good deed goes unpunished so, end of SIMPLE, no more good deeds AND I
let them know why I ended it.
Obama voters, It is YOUR fault and I am simply going sailing instead
of worrying about employees.
