Tax no more wants the benefits that taxes provide. Yet, must think that they are paid for with peanuts.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Community College Of Allegheny County announced last week that it will be cutting the hours of some adjunct faculty members to avoid the costs of Obamacare.
According to InsideHigherEd.com , the move will save the school $6 million when the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented in January 2014.
College President Alex Johnson said in an e-mail to faculty and staff members last week,“As you probably know, the Affordable Care Act has redefined full-time employees as those working 30 hours or more per week. As a result, the college must adjust hours of some temporary part-time employees and adjuncts to comply with the new legislation’s conception of part-time employment.”
Adjuncts previously capped at 12 credits per semester will now only get a maximum of ten. Temporary part-time employees will now be limited to working only 25 hours per week.
As IHE observed, this is a double whammy for the adjunct faculty because it eliminates any hope of them getting health insurance from the school while also reducing their income.
College spokesman David Hoovler told IHE by email,“Our preference certainly would be to extend health coverage to all of these individuals. However, we are simply unable to afford the significant cost at this time.”Matt Williams, vice president of the New Faculty Majority, a national coalition for adjunct faculty, told IHE that CCAC's move is the first he’s heard of, but he doesn't rule out other institutions doing the same.
As such, despite repeatedly claiming on the campaign trail that America needs more teachers, President Obama's signature piece of legislation appears likely to reduce that number when it comes to higher education
People who lose jobs for the betterment of a nation is worse than electing Romney who made a personal living of taking jobs from people for the betterment of himself ? How? That greedy @sshole, soo religious. Made millions ruining peoples lives. And sending jobs overseas. And you wanted him as president. NICE.

When Cheney was vice president his entire two terms he owned stock in Haliburton which was on the verge of going bankrupt. The dilemma for Cheney was he could not take a pay check and be the vice president so a deal was made which involved Halliburton providing deferred composition. Cheney made millions and thousands of american solders died.

Darn right bobby. The no-bid contracts went to halliburton and its subsidaries were worth tens of billions. Grossly overpaid for the services they provided. Where were all these concerned conservatives then ?

The war started in March. I was sent over a month later. No desert uniform, no flack vest. Yet, there were "private" security individuals with it. Driving around in Benz's and such. Actual jobs that our military units that were trained to do, were being done by these no bid companies.

Over $60,000 in Welfare Spent Per Household in Poverty

"According to the Census’s American Community Survey, the number of households with incomes below the poverty line in 2011 was 16,807,795," the Senate Budget Committee notes.

"If you divide total federal and state spending by the number of households with incomes below the poverty line, the average spending per household in poverty was $61,194 in 2011."

Obama's Stimulus: A Documented Failure

"Everyone except flacks for the White House knows that the 2009 stimulus package failed miserably to produce the promised results," Lindsey wrote.

"But even if you buy the White House's argument that the $800 billion package created 3 million jobs, that works out to $266,000 per job.

Taxing or borrowing $266,000 from the private sector to create a single job is simply not a cost effective way of putting America back to work.

The long-term debt burden of that $266,000 swamps any benefit that the single job created might provide."

huh? only if those jobs are in the public sector and taxes are decreased.

Private sector job loss is never a good thing when a tax increase is the cause.

Millions were spent sending my unit overseas for the rebuilding of Iraq. Bush signed 79 billion package in April. It went to Halliburton and KBR, a subsidary of H. Cheney being a former Ceo and a current stockholder.hmmmm. Anyhow, our equipment was nothing small by any means. Asphalt plant, rock crushing plant. much heavy equip. 66 railcars. 16 tractor trailer loads. It cost 2 million alone for the round trip shipping. Not to mention troop costs and future costs of veteran status soldiers. Halliburton and kbr did jobs that military units were suppose to do. At one time there were more contractors in Iraq than military. In the heat of war! I guess giving no-bid contracts to companies in direct line with the Vp is of any concern to the conservatives like tax no more. Bush was informed that the rebuild would only need be 1.7 billion yet he signed off 79 bill in april and another 87 billion in november. So kbr could put out oil well fires, pave roads, ect. Mean while our infrastructure was crumbling. This is just the tip of the Bush/Cheney bilking America scheme. There's more to come. Oh yeah, 2003 Bush aware of potential attacks at embassy's. Why wasn't a fuss made about them ? Mr McCain ?

If i made 15$ a hour and the bush tax cuts of a extra 3 percent i get how much from mentioned tax cut? A person who makes a 100, 000 a hour gets the same 3 percent bush tax cut. How mush did he get? Don't forget that 40 percent is borrowed money which only balloons the debt and also remember that every man, woman and child is responsible for national debt equally. The poor and middle class gets seriously screwed, we paid them

Now let's consider the case where you get paid 15 dollars an hour, but you work all year with no vacation time.

If you worked the entire year without any breaks, that would be 52 weeks.

Assuming 40 hours a week, that equals 2,080 hours in a year.

Your hourly wage of 15 dollars would end up being about $31,200 per year in salary.

//////////

A word about the 80 million Americans now covered by their employers with health insurance and who won’t be for much longer.

Company X has 100 employees it pays $15.00 an hour and covers 50% of the cost of a $7200.00 a year health insurance policy or **$3600 per employee per year.

If Company X drops its coverage it will pay a penalty (tax) of between 2-5% on the gross salary of each employee.

In this case the gross is $15. x 40 x 52 =$31,200 per year.

A 5% penalty on $31,200 would be $1560. per year per employee or $156,000.

Before obummercare **$3600. per year x 100 employees is $360,000.

Is Company X better of paying a penalty of $156,000 or $360,000 a year in insurance premimum costs?

The business of Capitalism is profit not “good works.”

There was a fuss made and your proof it continues.

After every major war or conflict, the US always rebuilds the country so what is your point? Only Bush done it and that makes him the bad man? Do you think the President just sends over a suitcase full of cash on his own?

Clearly your not looking for answer, just to bash.

You're just a Bush, Republican hater. Go get yourself an education....it will do wonders for you.

What part of 3% don't you understand?

What about the 49% who pay nothing in?

What about those who pay nothing in and get up to a 6K tax refund?

We all need to pay in a flat percentage an quit living on government handouts for votes.

Thats just it. Greed. I can see if company X's financials are not good. But, with some Ceo's making millions. It's greed. Welcome back to kings and such. Profits in the millions. it's greed. So the greedy ceo of company X just pays the fine. The employees go on for years without proper medical care. They hit the medicare years. Who pays for that ? Where does that money come from ? People with ailments that should have been treated long ago. Now, have more and no preventative care caused it. So, the rich get richer. We all pay for their greed.

The article had nothing to do with Romney or sending jobs over seas or ruining lives, it has to do with the affects of your leaders joke of a health care system that will break the backs of the middle class and the rest of the tax paying population. Quit blaming people already, the election has been over. The affects of obama care are coming to light and we the tax payers are going to take the hit whether it be hours being cut from jobs or the end of the year tax that will in fact come from not having health care.
