Mega Volt, The taxes and pay outs you're referring to come out of the "Federal Budget". This tax goes directly to oblamacare. Since we all know how effectively our gov runs programs, it will never be enough. I in no shape or form support oblamacare, or any mandated health insurance program. For the record, I am insured. I also pay over 1/2 of my employees health care benefits. We have a great policy with all the bells and whistles. I do have 2 employees who will not get on our insurance plan. They refuse to spend the $40 per week. They are uninsured. These employees also make over $20 per hour, and $40 a week won't kill them or affect their lifestyle. Why in the heck should any taxpayer support their medical problems?
I pay plenty for indigent healthcare in the form of property taxes. Not to mention over billing by hospitals and doctors to our insurance company.
Since you do well in the neon business. Are you willing to take your good fortune and spread it around to the other not so performing neon shops across the country? I hope not, but what's next?
I'm sick and tired of doing the right thing. I create good paying jobs, despite the regulations and taxes that hinder my business. Then I get to sit back and watch the leeches on TV tell me they need more, for doing absolutely nothing with their lives.
