More Government Lies — Health Reform Will Help Small Businesses
It is amazing to me, how people are falling for this bull. The White House has set up this video website to “debunk” health care reform myths. All that this video does is demonstrate to me that this woman has absolutely no clue what my husband and I, as small business owners, have to pay in taxes to make up for her “health care reform.”
Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic AdvisersShe says, “. . . the bills, as they’re working their way through Congress all have an exemption for small firms. For example, one version exempts any firm with fewer than 25 employees.”
Shall I summarize?
1. She is saying there is no ONE BILL. “the bills” means they are still working on them.
2. “an exemption for small firms” means nothing to my husband and myself financially. Our taxes, and that includes our “self-employment tax” (currently 15%, but probably slated to go up to pay for this stupid health reform bill) means we are not really exempt. They will still make us pay. They just won’t put it in the bill. Extortion is extortion, no matter who comes to take your money, people.
3. “any firm with fewer than 25 employees.” Honey, we can’t afford to hire ANY employees with the current economy. So when she says later, in the video, “Small businesses account for a big part of job creation, a big part of innovation. We want to help them and that’s why the reform proposals are aimed at lessening their burdens,” I have to say, STOP HELPING US! You are killing us with kindness, lady.

I’m still reeling from the President’s speech on the whole health care reform earlier this week. Chad and I were watching it and I know at least 2 of the things he said were not only false, but if that really happened (with regard to insurance companies) a whole lot of people would go to jail….including the CEO of the insurance company. Ask me how he knows? Because he works for one and knows first hand just what’s true and what’s not. I’m sure the Pres believed it to be true only because someone told him so but guarantee you he didn’t check his facts and instead chose to continue spreading that b.s. around like the flu because it’s going to scare people just enough so that they choose to follow our “fearless leader” into a very dark night without realizing what’s lurking beyond the next turn.
