Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Florida restaurateur to impose surcharge for ObamaCare

Blackheart your hatred of free enterprise is not surprising...everyone that voted for Obama does just that, vote for a living!

Man you've gotta be one of the densest here and that takes some doing. I can't blame a guy covering his costs and would expect that from anyone. What I do mind is smarmy kocksuckers who'll take advantage of a situation to screw both customers and employee's out of money.

I understand alot more than you think. Try applying your 5% profit margin to 330K and tell me what a 5% surcharge on total sales would amount to per store. Then get back to me on this poor bastard being able to cover his additional 70,000.00 per year Obamacare expenses.

How did you figure out 70K idiot?

Five percent is alot, especially when he plans on cutting "most" of his employee's to less than 30 hrs. per week to avoid the fines. If you don't like the idea of covering his extra costs, I really fail to see why you'd be fine with tacking on some extra profit for him besides.

It was in the article idiot. Damn, not only are you uglier than a hatfull of asswholes, you're dumber than dogschit !

You're just eat up with it aren't you? This guy is not "Denny's". He's ONE franchisee that only operates 40 restaurants.
538m divided by 1600 (and there are more than that many restaurants) is only $33k per store. He'd have to cut his full time staff by over 95% to avoid any penalites or costs. But maybe that's what he meant by 'most'? Good grief, reading comprehension really is a thing of the past.

Not to mention we should all be thankful that somebody in business is willing to put into terms what every Obama voter needs to learn.

You don't AVOID them, you lesson them.
