    There is also another effect on jobs: the people who are not hired in the first place. People should be able to shop for insurance across state lines to bring down the cost of insurance because one state may have fewer mandates than the other state. Mandates drive the cost up. If insurance becomes cheap enough for people to afford, your health is no longer a concern of a business thereby they will not take your health as factor in hiring you (i.e. obese people) unless it affects the job.

    Keep in mind that he wants to “repeal and replace” ObamaCare. He wants to have the government run healthcare, he just wants to do it in a different manner than Obama is. My guess is that his version won’t be significantly better than Obama’s.

  3. fzqlcs

    That could be true. But, unless I miss my guess regarding the new Congressional composition, he would not be able to get any big government program through. Remember, Obama needed a veto-proof Congress to accomplish his power grab.

    Just so you all know… If you and your spouse are both employed by an employer who offers health ins., you must each use the health ins. that your employer provides access to. You CANNOT stay enrolled under your spouse’s insurance. This means you have to meet two deductibles and you may have to accept more expensive insurance with less coverage. But, I still can’t figure out why we still have ins. tied to jobs and why we need our flu shots and normal visits covered. Why not just major surgery?

    This is mostly restaurants realising the trouble Obummercare is bringing. I wonder if Obamacare will spur restaurants to all suddenly switch their workforce to volunteers who only receive tips and no actual income.

  6. triggerhappysrt

    I hope this was sarcasm. Restaurants already practically do not pay their employees. In NJ, the minimum wage for a server is 2.13 per hour, and a normal paycheck for me is usually anywhere from literally 0.00-10.00. The money we make in tips is ALSO taken out of our paychecks. So no, it will not spur restaurants to all of a sudden give them no actual income, because most servers don’t see any income from a paycheck since their income is their tips.

    Those 4 types of videos are fine, and fairly neutral (except stossel), but sometimes there are videos like Andrew Napolitano and other representatives of FOX news that are so banally republican they don’t even attempt to hide it. So whilst the videos by Milton Friedman are educative, because you can always learn something by a man like him, there are people like Napolitano who is an attorney commenting on economics…and on TOP of that he is completely one-sided. That is what i’m criticizing.

  8. fzqlcs

    Here is an untaxable tip that might help you. Quit. That way, you still get the $0.00 you were paid before PLUS you can now save gas money by not driving to work. Otherwise, once the cost of Obamacare is added to the employer’s burden, you may have to actually pay a fee to work.

  9. ForzaAquila

    FYI: Andrew Napolitano is a libertarian CONSERVATIVE. So what? Now that Ron Paul and Gary Johnson are both so called liberals who believe in limited government, military noninterventionism…you don’t see where i’m going here do you? You sound like you’re part of that 90% of American ignorance. They’re both republicans fool, they’re all conservatives from a fiscal and economic point of view.

  10. fzqlcs

    Napolitano is not a registered Republican, whereas Milton Friedman was. Libertarians advocate free market economic principles whereas Republicans are free market pragmatists. That is, they tend to “believe” in the free market so long as it benefits them to do so. A minority of Republicans are libertarians. Sowell, Friedman, Paul, Johnson and Napolitano are all libertarians. I think you are still confused.

  11. ForzaAquila

    You don’t have to be registered to be one and advocate it’s ideals. In fact Friedman was less of a Republican than Napolitano. He was also more liberal than anyone you cited. Congratulations you know the definitions and the differences between libertarianism and liberalism. I guess that doesn’t make you an american idiot…
    I’m not talking from an economic point of view, you’re confused. I’m talking from a political point of view. If we were to polarize those views. The above would be REPUBLICAN

  12. ForzaAquila

    Btw I don’t know where you’re going with this, you’re drifting off. Just because you write down a definition it doesn’t mean you’re supporting your cause, whatever that may be. My initial point was that this channel is politically one sided. If you try to put on your glasses and say that from an economic point of view it’s libertarian and not republican. Then we’re really on two different dimensions here and you can’t comprehend what i’m saying.

  13. fzqlcs

    Let’s leave it with I can’t comprehend what you are saying. I do agree the channel is one-sided. It is on the side of individual liberty versus statism.

  14. Siegetower

    A sad situation. I refused employment with a company while in the UK that paid workers in such a fashion (and worked elsewhere). I acknowledge many servers would not have the luxury choice of refusing emplyment.

    How they can be allowed, as an industry, to take freely given tips and deduct them from your earned wage is obscene.

    Your country has been going backwards for a long time, I’m sorry to say.

  15. captn Huffy

    With that attitude I am surprised you even bother to step outside of your normal channels. Media Channels that are WHOLLY ONE SIDED; that offer comfortable narrative to the pre-programmed sheepeople.

    Thank goodness LibertyPen, and other wise people, can see right through your attempt to control their programming.

  16. ForzaAquila

    Very nice, but your comment crumbles when you click on my channel and realize i’m not American. :O

    I’m not controlling anyones programming. In fact i’m trying to help them remain neutral. Yes to any economist videos, yes to any educational videos. No to videos by analysts and the most biased tv channel in america. There’s even a page on wikipedia “Fox News Channel controversies”. You must be blinded by bias. Why doesn’t this channel ever show CBS, NBC, ABC clips? Ever asked yourself this?

  17. captn Huffy

    What country you are in makes no nevermind. i have traveled the world, seeing most media first hand. The Bias is clear, & is overwhelming for those trapped there.

    Each outlet should be able to do as they please (bias or not). Thank goodness you are correct, and also that online media sources are available that do not conform to your (or my) ideals. It is bad some countries block sources & information.

    You control what you view, and how narrow your own field of view is.

    Peace to all,

  18. ForzaAquila

    Seeing does not = understanding. In fact you probably didn’t considering i highly doubt you speak a lot of languages. Mine was a consideration not an order.

  19. furtim1

    No. Businesses, since they can’t use violence to acheive their goals, have to either raise prices, close, or cut expenses when they can’t afford the impact of the new laws. Money doesn’t come in quiete as easily when you can’t steal it. Congress and the President don’t really understand this problem, since most of them have been professional theives their entire adult lives.

  20. captn Huffy

    You wrote, and i quote / paste:
    “not only is FOX a republican channel, so is this youtube channel. *stop* being so one sided and be less biased”

    You got a lot of negative votes for those words, I think.

    Peace,

    Facts are facts. Obamacare will hurt not help. To the less knowledgeable people out there get educated on the 2700 pages of governmental regulations.

    This election is our one and only chance to repeal this Obamacare nightmare. If Romney loses, Obamacare will become a permanent and unyielding blueprint for American mediocracy. Just in case anyone who reads this is planning to sit out this election, or vote for a third party candidate, if Obama gets re-elected and Obamacare becomes a permanent fixture, and a whole host of other nightmares come to pass, it will be on your head, and you therefore forfeit your right to complain about any of it.

    look at the videos online of obama stating how the old and sick, should really agree to go into hospice more, or like always, what that really means is shove them into what isnt really even hospice, its just neglect and torture,

    Autozone is little more than the retailer who sell those Chinese made auto parts, that were once living wages American jobs. Autozone should move to China, sell the product where it is made.

  25. TheOropherfelegund

    I’d be excited about repealing a big federal program, maybe we could get that ball rolling for repealing other big programs, just a little.

  26. Zachary Wheeler

    Well, hopefully once this piece of crap goes into effect and everyone starts to feel the effects of it maybe then the American people will start to finally wake up. Unfortunately, the past four years wasn’t enough to wake them up.
