NaturalNews) It is the ultimate example of how you reap what you sow: Huge numbers of American workers who voted for Obama are now seeing their own jobs slashed below 30 hours a week as employers desperately try to avoid "Obamacare bankruptcy."
Obamacare mandates for businesses only apply to those working 30 hours a week or more, and while many businesses do not want to cut workers' hours, they are being forced to in order to stay afloat. This necessary action is causing businesses to lose money and become less competitive while at the same time destroying American jobs.
Some businesses are also slashing job positions in an effort to get below the 50-employee threshold above which Obamacare mandates kick in. So across the country, we're not only seeing workers lose hours thanks to Obamacare; we're also seeing workers losing their jobs.
But the Obama administration will announce these results to be a huge "job creation success!" because workers must now find
two part-time jobs that usually pay less than the one full-time job they used to have. The raw job numbers, however, will be spun by the White House into a victory pronouncement of "twice as many jobs exist now!"
Be careful what you vote for
A note to Obama supporters: When you thought you were voting for "free health care," you were actually voting to get yourself "downsized." Your vote was an act of economic suicide. That's because no government can force a business to pay for something that will put it out of business. When government mandates become too expensive for a business to afford,
it will simply stop conducting business and that means cutting jobs or job hours.
Imagine: If Obama announced a new initiative called "double pay for all workers" and made it a federal law, he would of course win another popular vote. But employers wouldn't be able to afford the double pay mandate, so they would start slashing jobs or offshoring jobs, and that's exactly what we see today. Every employer in America is right now asking himself these three questions
in order to stay above water and not go bankrupt:
#1) How can we slash workers to under 30 hours a week?
#2) How can we offshore jobs to India or other countries?
#3) How can we cut our total number of employees to under fifty?
This is the upshot of Obamacare:
the destruction of America's small businesses.
The largest businesses pay almost no tax
At the same time small businesses are struggling to afford Obamacare, mega-corporations like Google are proudly announcing they're paying only
3.5% in taxes thanks to a complex array of global tax-shifting strategies with names like the "Double Irish" and "Dutch Sandwich." As
Bloomberg recently reported:
Google Inc. (GOOG) avoided about $2 billion in worldwide income taxes in 2011 by shifting $9.8 billion in revenues into a Bermuda shell company, almost double the total from three years before, filings show. By legally funneling profits from overseas subsidiaries into Bermuda, which doesn’t have a corporate income tax, Google cut its overall tax rate almost in half. The amount moved to Bermuda is equivalent to about 80 percent of Google’s total pretax profit in 2011.So while Google, one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, pays just 3.5% in TOTAL tax, small businesses across America find themselves paying 30%, 40%, even 50% of their earnings in total taxes, including FICA, social security, inventory tax, capital gains and now Obamacare surcharges and taxes. This is how Obamacare works: Protect the corporate giants while socking it to small and medium-sized businesses.
Obamacare is gutting America's economy and throwing a wrench into the economic machinery that keeps America working. You know why service is so slow at retailers these days? Because Obamacare forced the employer to slash workers' hours. Why do car parts take so long to order and deliver? Because Obamacare gutted the human resources of the parts manufacturers. Why is everything becoming slower, more expensive and more frustrating across the economy? Because Obamacare mandates have forced employers to downsize or lay off their most productive workers.
I ask: What good is a health insurance mandate if it destroys your job in the process of being enforced?
Obamacare supporters have little understanding of economic reality
The simple truth of all this is that economics is a subject best left to those people capable of understanding mathematics, and that precludes the vast majority of voters of either political party. Mathematically speaking, Obama's so-called "mandate" isn't even a real mandate: Less than half of eligible voters actually voted in this recent election, and barely half of those voted for Obama. This means that
roughly 75% of eligible voters didn't vote for Obama, yet they must suffer under his economic policies which are based in pure fantasy and delusion.
Obama has zero business experience. He has no clue how economics really works and no knowledge of how to run a successful business, much less the executive branch of government. I know what it takes to create multi-million-dollar companies because I've done it successfully and repeatedly, and I can assure you that the economic policies currently being pursued in Washington will only
destroy jobs, destroy America's economy and destroy our economic future.Democrats, it seems, believe the solution to all this is to make taxpayers pay even more money to the federal government. As we are told by the lamestream media, apparently the only reason the economy isn't celebrating a rapid expansion right now is because
workers and businesses are allowed to keep too much of their own incomes. If only Washington D.C. had more of your money, they would use it more wisely, we're told, and fix all our problems. Obamacare is just the beginning: power-hungry zealots like Obama have plans for centralizing control and running everything in your life: health care, food choices, educational choices, private property, energy consumption, home gardening and anything else you might imagine.
So rather than thinking of ways to cut cancerous government out of the economy like a deadly tumor, the people who run the government can only imagine variations of ways to keep expanding it. (This is true across both Republicans and Democrats.) Government expansion necessarily requires an
expansion of confiscation from businesses and workers. This action, of course, destroys international competitiveness and American jobs.
How to really create economic abundance in America
It's all cause and effect, folks. If you really want to uplift America's economy, create millions of
quality jobs and put the kind of money into the hands of workers that can help them afford private health insurance, you've got to
slash the size of government by 80% across the board. Let businesses and workers keep 80% of what they normally send to Washington. With that kind of money in their pockets and bank accounts, workers would EASILY be able to afford health insurance. They would also spend their newly-expanded discretionary incomes on all sorts of products and services that would be a boon to the economy.
Government, you see, is the eternal enemy of economic prosperity.
Government has been and always will be a parasite on the economy. Obama and his worshippers don't understand economics. They don't understand what it takes to create abundance out of hard work, dedication and honest savings and investment. It's all summed up in Obama's atrociously insulting quote, "If you have a business, you didn't built that... somebody else made that happen!"
That's a lie. Government builds nothing. It only destroys that which others have built. And Obamacare has succeeded in only one thing: the "scorched Earth" destruction of American jobs and the rapid erosion of economic prosperity.
If you voted for Obama and you're now unemployed or had your hours cut, you are getting a first-hand view of
economic cause and effect. I'm not saying Romney would have been any better, because he was just another Goldman Sachs puppet. The real solution to all this is
Ron Paul, who wanted to slash the size of government and send people's money back home so they could spend it the way they choose instead of having a bunch of over-fed, over-paid bureaucrats spending their money in D.C.
Instead of blaming Obama, of course, the vast majority of the recently-unemployed will
blame their employer! "How dare you cut my hours!" they will scream, oblivious to the fact that their employer
did NOT want to cut their hours but was forced to by a cabal of economic morons in Washington who are dismantling America's economy one piece of legislation at a time.
Putting Democrats in charge of the economy is kind of like putting kindergarteners in charge of nuclear missiles. The outcome can never be good... a lot of people are going to get hurt... and somebody else sooner or later has to clean up the mess.
In four years, things will be far worse
As bad as you might think things are right now, in four more years under Obama, they will be far, far worse.
Unemployment will continue to rise. Millions more Americans will desperately turn to food stamps. Crime waves will hit cities like Detroit, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Homelessness will spread, and people who used to have one good job will find themselves working two or three part-time jobs instead, none of which offer real benefits.
Like a heroin addict who can't quit his cycle of self-destruction, the Obama administration will then insist, two or three years from now, that the problem is caused by government still not confiscating enough money from taxpayers and small businesses. The call for raising more taxes, growing more government and dictating economic policy to the nation will be parroted across the lamestream media.
In the end, the system will collapse. When that day comes,
don't be anywhere near a large U.S. city. The reasons for that will be discussed in an upcoming article right here on
Natural News.

![UPDATE 1 - Will Americans be subject to implantable devices under the Obamacare program, a deeper look, you read, you decide, lets figure this out
@[154779684564904:274:Alternative World News Network]
A great debate has arose from a topic that is a growing concerns to many Americans as the time grows near for the implementation of the new health bill, due to take effect in March of 2013. Many have shown concerns on the topic of could and will persons in the program be implanted with a type 2 implantable device. We will look at the bills, look at what it says, and you decide. It could be a yes we will, or a maybe it could, or only in certain cases. But the wording allows it to be oh so abused.
Our first article was written by the great people @[114896831960040:274:WorldTruth.TV]
, the article we shared of theirs was this piece : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=478823795493823&set=a.157200904322782.28222.154779684564904&type=1&theater¬if_t=photo_comment
We have had some great staff work on this along with great fans who also came up with some incredible research, wanting to get the truth out to you the people in making an educated judgement for themselves.
Mr K. wrote : If it's over the Obamacare people need to research they keep referring to the HR 3200 page 1001 which was the first draft defeated in the senate. But a sad fact HR 3962 did pass. And page 1502 has the same words expect implantable. They still have the same chip listed but just don't say implantable. But the only way to use a class 2 device is implantable. So a lot of people are in denial and haven't checked there facts. Which I will make easy right now, to give proof. Here is Hr 3200 THE ONE THAT DID NOT PASS scroll down to 1000 and 1001 National Medical Registry Device. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3200ih/pdf/BILLS-111hr3200ih.pdf THIS IS THE ONE THAT DID PASS. HR 3962 page 1502 and read The National Medical Registry Device. It's still there a class 2 device what is a class 2 device a VERICHIP now called Positive ID. WAKE UP ITS REAL http://housedocs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf
All the non passed version and passed version of the actual bill in PDF form are provided above.
Further more, other article preformed around the net, recopied again and again and circulated, the information this article provides is as follows, and it refers to the one that did not pass I believe.
There's a pretty starling thing in the bill that 95% of Americans won't like.
ObamaCare has a microchip implant for you… The Obama Health care bill includes (under Class II, Paragraph 1, Section B) “(ii) a class II device that is implantable”. Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in paragraph 1, section B:
14 (B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to
15 information respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the
20 Secretary
As approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is an “implantable radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health information.”
This sort of device would be implanted in the majority of people who opt to become covered by the public health care option. With the reform of the private insurance companies, many people will switch their coverage to a more affordable insurance plan. This means the number of people who choose the public option will increase. This also means the number of people chipped will be plentiful as well. The adults who choose to have a chip implanted are the lucky (yes, lucky) ones in this case. Children who are "born in the United States who at the time of birth is not otherwise covered under acceptable coverage" will be qualified and placed into the CHIP or Children's Health Insurance Program (what a convenient name). With a name like CHIP it would seem consistent to have the chip implanted into a child. Children conceived by parents who are already covered under the public option will more than likely be implanted with a chip by the consent of the parent. Eventually everyone will be implanted with a chip.
This is an on going open debate forum on the topic, we researching the actual facts,
Q: Could it be used?
A: YES.
Q: Will it be used?
A: POSSIBLY?
Q:Is it sinister in nature?
A: Your guess is as good as mine.
But if there is something wrong with this program, would you not want to know before hand, and possibly get it changed? Or would you prefer to find out about it after the fact, then its done and implemented? We need to understand we have to ask questions, we have to expose the truth on the matter. It may enrage some people, and so it should. Others will not give two hoots one way or another.
But you have freedom of choice, so 1st educate yourselves. Get involved.
I am sure there is more research on the fact. If you know more information on the subject, message us with you search results, one way or another, pro or con. We can to look at what possible outcomes this could mean for the American people, because it is your right to know.
More UPDATES to come as this story unfolds.](http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s480x480/14309_479167965459406_876167895_n.jpg)
