Moral Hazards and Happy Meals for the Circle Jerk

[MJZiggy]

You really think when the giant companies don't have to pay health insurance, they'll automatically put all that money into equally distributed pay increases?

Yeah, I do expect that to happen. Most will pay you more if you opt out of coverage now. They're not required by law to provide health insurance now. They do so to remain competitive - the same reason they pay what they do instead of paying minimum wage.

They will pay you more, but will they pay you the same amount that coverage would have cost them?

And yes, firms over a certain number of employees are required to offer it.

I stand corrected.

In SOME states. Some very socialist states that are getting a very oppressive tax burden no less. And the more you reduce unemployment (ie make capital ventures profitable) the more a company will pay a good employee.

Re: Moral Hazards and Happy Meals for the Circle Jerk

BTW, Ty…if you are out there, did you know a guy named David Einhorn in high school?

Einhorn? that sounds suspiciously jewish. Ty would not hang with people with jewishy sounding names.

I prefer good, american names like nelson.

Ty is aware of many successful (and, when we really think about it..is there any other kind) hebes from the Miltown area. Ellen Freidman, Jon Steuer, Howie Epstein, jerry and dave zucker,

Hit The Googles on Einhorn. He helped bring Lehman (or is that Nelson?) Brothers down. One of your own from the Noth Side in 1984. I like his book.

Quit playing the poor is me anti-Semit card, It's getting old.

What do you knw about the RJC? I was told tonight they will bring Obama down later this year.

Google Einhorn? Why? I just told you i'm very aware of succesful hebes from miltown. Mr. Einhorn was investing/playing the market years before attending college. Never hurts when your parents are loaded. You do realize that half his initial 900k came from his folks?

Um, Einhorn Associates (M&A)...mom treasurer...dad prez. Both attended Cornell.

Nancy contributes to the ballet. Beautiful home in Riverhills.

AND HERE IS THE KICKER...EINHORNS (parents) CONTRIBUTORS TO DEM PARTY!!! And good ol' david is a major contributor to the dem party.

what does he know that you don't? LOL

Jews bringing down the traditional ivy wasps/crashing the party ain't a new story. Barbs at the Gate, Boesky, milken, etc.

1984: Einhorn didn't graduate in 84.

Nelson: Reference that went over your head.

Poor anti semitic: Uh, i have never discussed my religion or mentioned anything like that on this forum. You are the only person doing that...and, no one knows why.

RJC: What is there to know? Are you joining? They have a new chapter in Minny. And a new one in miltown. LOL Jewish republicans...wow, take a small minority group and then an extremely small minority of that minority.

I have no idea what you are driving at.

Are you referring to the lies they are spreading about obama taking Hagel to israel? They should check their facts, cause it only makes them look stupid. Or, do you think that because obama "surrounds" himself with a REPUBLICAN SENATOR whose voting record on israel is "abysmal record on Israel" is going to hurt the DEMOCRATIC nominee.

Bit surreal for my taste.

P.S. Polls indicate jews voting for obama at 2 to 1 ratio over McCain. But, i guess the RJC needs to cling to anything they can when comparing it to the 75% support kerry received.

P.P.S. the njdc says obama has an outstanding voting record on israel. the jerusalem post editorial "is not bad for israel."
