You could pay $34,000 in fines, dump your employees onto Obama’s shoulders and save yourself $46,000.

Of course you’ll be taxed on that savings, but at least everyone will have what they want: ObamaCare for the workers, more profits for you (for the short term).

Sounds like socialism will work afterall…

Until the bill comes due.

I have about 20 clients I do business with on a regular basis…
It is all service work and only a few clients know each other.
I charge Obama supporters about double what I charge conservative clients. Thankfully I only have a few clients who support Obama….
and of course those are the ones crying the blues about how bad business is.

It also gives you a heck of an incentive to refrain from either growing your payroll or giving people raises.

Sounds like a great idea there, Barry.

According to the post card they can get a 25% credit.

The post card indicates that if you have fewer than 25 employees who make (on average) less than $50,000 you may be eligible for a 35% tax credit on premiums paid.

Of course, they could have said is that if you have fewer than 5,000,000 employees and an average salary of less than $5,000,000 you may be eligible for said credit. The truth value would have been identical. The key is the word “may.” All that means is that the credit is available to some portion of the set they have defined.

Just because we are all stupid (by definition) conservatives, we think they that they were actually trying to convey something about the entire group they were describing. If we would just embrace the power of words like “may” we would be freed from our elitist concepts of precision and of truth. All would be well with the world then. We could then enjoy the benefits of the Chosen One’s largesse without actually costing the government a dime in tax revenues.

The postcard should have just said, “Dear small business owner, suck it. ~ your pal, President Obama”

HA HA Obamacare supports the hiring of illegals which should increase in hugh numbers and businesses will save billions. American workers except unions are shafted once again.

redsoilman stated it accurately I believe. The words “may” & “might” are key words that are frequently used along with “win” and “receive”.
A few things come to mind, Lottery Tickets, Publisher’s Clearing House, Sweepstakes, No Purchase Necessary, While Supplies Last … there are more.

Jiminga mentioned that the writers of the postcard probably didn’t “.. read the law either” Truthfully, copywriters (the folks who writ these things) are not lawyers and may not have known what they were reading if they did. Their job is to get your attention and gt you o react positively towards the product they are “pushing”.

Vaguely worded possible outcomes avoid all legal problems latte. You were “promised” nothing more than the possibility. So see? No “promise” was broken.

The postcard was supposed to make the recipient feel “All Warm And Fuzzy” and all too often it (and things like them) work.

“I am going to go to Washington DC and fix all the problems I possibly can” can easily be fulfilled by sitting in the senate for a day snoozing, a quick scratch of the butt, and the rest of the term spent globe-hopping on the taxpayers’ dime. The key phrase was “… I possibly can”

Thankfully even most of our worst politicians aren’t quite that bad … though I recall looking up some of our elected officials’ records and can’t say that they were much better.

Vote Anti-Incumbent across the board Period!!!!!

I own a small service company, the only one who survived to do what we do in our region. I refused to work for any Obama supporter as I can get along without them, one did threaten to sue. she called last week begging us to take her back and vowed never to vote Dim again, seems she got her health care proposal for 2011.
