Fry cook Asked Obama-Why are my hours being Cut?-Follow-Up

[PaintMyHouse]

I work for a multi billion dollar company 1003 stores in total. They decided not to give healthcare to the employees rather just cut hours below 26. What do you have to say to that because a lot of people including my self depended on that 35 or 40 hours a week to pay for college and rent now most are living back with parents and are struggling.

Welcome to Capitalism. Now you know why Universal Single-Payer is they way to go. You don't get your schooling or your car from a job so why should your healthcare come from them? It shouldn't. Your company is being cheap, that's typical, so find a better company to work for if you can and hang in until the economy improves and Americans grow up about healthcare. Warning, it will be awhile, maybe as much as a decade or two so check out the prospects before you choose a career. Doing what you love usually doesn't pay.

You mean when right wingers always blame a union or the workers when a company fails.
Yes you should have said that first.
Are you so F*cking stupid?
Obviously. Yes

Yeah, the liberals will blame the business owners for cutting costs.

Question: Are they that fucking dumb?

Answer: Obviously.

Fucking moron.

I believe it isn't as black or white as the far left or right wish it to be. The little guy must have a voice so he isn't stepped on as he was earlier in the 20th century, so the left isn't totally wrong, but on the other hand modern unions seemly forget the "tiny" profit margin the company needs to keep in order to remain in business. At one time, unions were a good idea, and I still believe that in the middle portion of the 20th century that they did more good then bad.

The right does make good points... Our economy is much more complex then the left or right narrow idea of it makes it out to be.

Protest and join a union. Tell them that you want your health care!

What he needs are his hours back. The healthcare we can cover, with a little help out of his bigger checks.

You shouldn't have to rely on your workplace to provide you with healthcover. Your workplace should pay you more in order for you to purchase your own.

Is this your way of saying you are a liberal who only wants to take care of the rich class?

Or, are you so ignorant that you have do not even have a rudimentary understanding of group insurance and how that keeps costs down for the insured? A business DID not need to provide insurance to their employees. However, in order to attract good employees, they provided this group insurance.

Over 90% of people covered in the middle class was via group insurance through their job. Now, that it is a law to purchase this bullshit known as Obamacare, companies are now MOTIVATED to drop their coverage. No longer do they need to match what the employee contributed. The fine they will pay is far less than what large corporations paid before. Why are they motivated? Cause it more cost effective to pay the TAX (better known as a fine) rather than providing this insurance.

Now, that middle class will not be able to keep their policies (do we need to go over that blatant lie again), and there is no way they can afford the full premiums from the quality insurance companies.

So, the only ones being provided with the top quality health care, are the rich. Congrats to the left and their pathetic claims with how much they love the poor. The middle class is being herded underneath the government thumb, while the poor class expands.

Liberals are as dense as a child. It is funny watching you all make your little claims as though any of you have a clue about life.

Oh, I am sure most of you left wing snot nosed ignorant morons will be able to afford the silver plan, which includes a 6000 dollar deductible. No, really. I bet you even have the 6000 thousand dollars in some little safe in your little bedroom.

Very few people have the resources to start their own business OR even find decent work right now.Just pay better wages and stop blaming your greed on the government making you pay for the healthcare of YOUR employees.

This is the biggest lie being told today.

Actually it's not. It is far from remotely easy to get resources to start a business.

The process is suppose to be easy?

Liberals in this thread revealing how they do not even have a rudimentary understanding of bylaws of business.

Their ignorance is only slightly behind their hypocrisy. Nothing will ever surpass that aspect of every moronic left winger. Their ignorance is close.

It is truly like arguing with 7 year olds.

Of course the radical leftist loons on this site are ridiculous. But lets be real here... they have an excuse.... they are ill. Seriously, there is no other logical reason than to declare they have an illness. They just have a hard time telling the difference between right and wrong.

I kind ol look the other way when I see them coming. I feel sorry for them.

-Geaux

. They are coming unhinged because the they know the end is near. Soon their majority in the Senate is going to be gone and Obama won't be replaced by Hillary. Democrats really screwed the pooch this time around.

One can only hope indeed.. However, I'm not overly confident in the American voter. As Obama has proven, we are capable of putting a potted plant in the oval office. In fact, the plant is likely more productive

Why? Because his scum bag boss/owner is a cheap asshole who cares about no one but himself/herself and is lining their pockets from the profits of the business while that fry cook gets minimum wage and can't pay rent or bills.

You truly are an ignoranus...

That's not the way capitalism works.

The government needs to get out of the way and allow you to succeed.

Talk about being in chains

Capitalism is for the rich by the rich. Hence the problem.

When you have your car serviced how much more then the bill do you pay?

I don't get it serviced. I do it my damn self. Have you seen the damn prices they want per hour!? 70-90$ an hour! PFT!

I used to do all my own wrenching when I was a youngster.
But then life happened and I started making more money and found that those prices weren't all that high.

The businesses wouldn't be forced to cut costs if the Socialists would stay out of the marketplace. The fry-cook was happy until Obamacare came around and screwed up his life.

Obamacare a bigger issue than minimum wage?
Cantor: Raising the minimum wage could have unintended consequences

On Jan. 31, a fry cook asked President Obama why his hours were being cut to part time because of Obamacare, and the President responded by saying he was pushing to raise the minimum wage.

This moment between the fry cook and the President reveals the entire reasoning of the Democratic Party’s push to raise the minimum wage. Rather than restore wages and hours lost by working middle-class Americans due to Obamacare, Democrats are hiding these losses behind a false debate about the minimum wage.

Obamacare a bigger issue than minimum wage? - MarketWatch

Greed has a lot to do with it. Some employers have exploited their employees for so long they feel entitled to benefit from cheap labor. Yet a little thought, not even critical thought, occurs to those who can think that labor adds critical value to a business.
