You got it. See, we are all about equal protection in this country as long as that means liberals can run over the rest of the people who don't agree with them about things like tenets of their cherished social justice agenda. For example, the argument they offer to justify legalizing gay marriage is based on a falsified representation of equality of rights. And yet, when it comes to ObamaCare, equal protection was just flushed by Obama High Priestess Valerie Jarrett who said in a blog post that the administration decided on the delay so officials could simplify reporting requirements and give employers a chance to adjust their health-care coverage.
So, equal protection is no big deal where small business owners are given a hiatus until 2015 to provide insurance for their employees or face a 2,000 dollar a head fine for failing to do so. In the meantime, the individual mandate is still in effect. Which means individuals must buy insurance, though nobody really knows where, or face the reality of paying a penalty. Which according to the schedule on the
Obamacare Individual Mandate
Tax Compliance Form
L. Penalty.
"To calculate this number,
first multiply your adjusted gross income
by 2.5%. If this number is bigger
than $695 (single), $1390 (family with
two persons), or $2085 (family with
three or more persons), pay this higher
number. If the dollar figure listed here
is bigger, pay that dollar figure. Prorate
by the number of months you did
not enroll in an affordable, qualifying
health insurance plan."
The penalty could be in excess of 2,085 dollars. So, it's another year of wine and roses for small business, and the rest of you buggers can just knuckle down and pay. But, like Bill Clinton before him, Mr Obama feels your pain and really cares deeply for the plight of the middle class. He stays up late at night fretting over the letters he's gotten from elementary school kids and hard working Americans from all over the nation. :please:
When it comes to wining an election or staying in power the dems will tell any lie or pull any shenanigan they must to succeed.
