    Ernst and Young: Higher Taxes to lead to 710,000 jobs lost

    The Ernst and Young study predicts that the tax increases will slow investment, resulting in slower growth in employment and wages. Compared to their model’s baseline predictions, the higher-tax economy would have 0.33 percentage point lower employment after 10 years and would asymptotically approach 0.5 percentage point lower employment. In terms of today’s population, that would be 710,000 fewer people holding jobs. In addition, real wages for those with jobs would decrease by 1.8 percent on average.

    Because the effects take place over time, they may seem small in any given year, but they build. Long-run models don’t focus on the timing with which effects come into play. However, based on their 10-year figure, a back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that the model probably predicts more than 2.6 million job-years lost in the first decade. If strong effects of the tax increase are felt immediately, as the second study suggests, then the lost job-years in the first decade might be around 3.4 million


    Here is another gem from the study:

    The Ernst and Young study predicts that long-run GDP with the higher tax rates would be 1.3 percent smaller.

    All this demonstrates once again, is Obama has never held a private sector job. All he has done is basically run for higher office. Oh, there is another study out as well, that one of the reasons unemployment is persistently high is because the benefits people receive staying at home outweigh what they would receive going for a lower paying job.

    In all forms of socialism, the rich definitely get poorer. But the poor also get poorer. It's a failed experiment and the scrap heap of history is littered with them.

    Almost all Western economies were living beyond their means during the 2000s. Lower tax and unemployment were an illusion created by a boom fuelled by profligate lending.

    Now is payback time.

    Stryker Corp. (NYSE:SYK) officials said the company plans to cut 5 percent of its workforce over concerns about the impending 2.3 percent medical device tax prescribed by President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

    "Here we are, one of the greatest industries in the country, and we're staring down on January 1st, 2013 and the addition of a 2.3 percent excise tax, while meanwhile on the other side all the discussion in Washington is about creating jobs," he said.
    Given it's only 86 people that will get the boot, but it suck for those 86. It is also of note that

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...e-to-ObamaCare

    Jon Stryker is heir to the Stryker Corporation, one of the largest medical device and equipment manufacturers in the world. Stryker’s grandfather was the surgeon who invented the mobile hospital bed. The company now sells $8.3 billion worth of hospital beds, artificial joints, medical cameras, and medical software every year.
    Stryker, a member of the Forbes 400 list, was one of the top five donors to the Obama campaign. Having donated $2 million to the Priorities USA Action super PAC, Stryker also gave $66,000 in contributions to Obama and the Democrat Party.
    Good to see that Obama appreciated his support.

    The trend is your friend, brotha.....

    Honestly, do you look for truth and facts when you read the news, and try to form your own conclusions. Or do you just gobble Fox News talking points hook line and sinker? Let that marinate for a few. Try to come up with some real conclusions of your own.

    The Congressional Budget Office, which is immensely more capable of doing this type of analysis than an accounting firm, disagrees.

    200 of the richest people in America also disagree.

    http://patrioticmillionaires.org/

    We are writing to ask you to do the right thing for our country and REJECT ANY Super Committee deal that does not raise tax rates on incomes over $1 million to AT LEAST 39.6%, REGARDLESS of how many deductions are eliminated.

    Private jets shouldn’t have been tax deductible in the first place.
    Thank you,

    Patriotic Millionaires and Patriotic Americans

    Secrets to Jobs

    I understand that President Obama is going to meet with Mitt Romney. In the interest of cooperation and solving the problem of huge unemployment numbers, a topic prominent in the election campaign rhetoric, Obama should ask Romney to explicitly explain what all those 12 million jobs are – you know, the ones resulting from his secret economic plan if he had been elected.

    Only the beginning...

    Massive List Of Layoffs After Election Update: Walmart, Papa Johns, Applebees, Energizer, Groupon

    Here are more companies since last week that have announced that because of Obamacare, they are cutting back hours, pay, and laying off workers. Some companies have announced that they are passing on the charges to people who buy their products.

    Wal-Mart employees will have to pay more for health-care plans. As if becoming a full-time employee of Wal-Mart was hard enough, now when they get there they ahve to pay between 8 percent and 36 percent more in premiums for its medical coverage in 2013. Walmart said they may hve to drop coverage of 1.4 million workers and bring more people to part time.

    Wal-Mart said average costs its employees will pay should rise about 4.4 percent or more in 2013. To read more go here.

    Papa John's CEO John Schnatter says the plan on raising the price of their products by 10 to 15 cents per item. They are planning to cut employees hours and reduce more people to parttime in order to pay for the new health care law. He told students inside a small auditorium at Edison State College's Collier COunty campus, "got in a bunch of trouble for this. hat's what you do, is you pass on costs. Unfortunately, I don't think people know what they're going to pay for this."

    Applebee's Zane tankel told Fox Business Network that they likely would have to have a hiring freeze so they can pay for for Obamacare for their employees.

    LOL at blaming health care costs for the 600 layoffs at Groupon, and not the 90% drop in their stock price.

    Clearly there was some very rigorous research behind that list.

    Now every fucking dipshit who ran their own business into the ground themselves is gonna blame Obama. It's a lot easier to say, "It's Obama's fault" than it is to say "I fucking suck at running a business and we have been considering layoffs for awhile now, but now I have someone else to blame." Maybe Obama is actually responsible for some of the layoffs mentioned. But FFS, research it before you simply find every company that is announcing layoffs and assume it was Obamacare related.

    True but in the future you're going to see companies making decisions on employees across the board and really a lot of these companies long before obamacare was ever mentioned were practicing these sort of trades of cutting down hours and making it VERY difficult for someone to be considered full time and eligible for benefits including health insurance. It's going to get worse and were going to see even more people on welfare. Why couldn't these politicians see this coming and put in some penalties for working around the system? Maybe they have, I haven't really gone all detective druff on it myself but wouldn't it make sense to tax the shit out of companies who carry more part time workers than full time who are trying to avoid this? For everyone they lay off more fucking penalties. This Obamacare package seems very flawed and it's just going to defeat an already defeated work force.
